Self Serving... help! Witts end mod conflict

Post » Fri Oct 17, 2014 11:00 pm

I've never posted this kind of thing before, but I am tired of countless hours trying to fix a broken game. I've reinstalled the game a few times, and I'll post my mod list here, but I really would love if someone could give me a helping hand here. My game crashes no matter what. I have no idea which mod is causing the trouble or if its the load order. I've done my best to search mod install instructions, utilized NMM and LOOT, TES5 Edit is kind of over my head, so I avoid that software utilization.

Again, I'm looking for someone to toubleshoot my problem as I can't think of anything else that could be causing this issue. I've had skyrim since inception. No problems in the past, but I love all these mods and don't know which ones I can do without.

MY system is a Windows 7 32bit, Dell Dual Core XPS with 4 gigs of RAM. It performs well and it is not the problem so please don't make jabs about dells or how old my system is. I know how to upgrade drivers, hardware and software, and I'm not an idiot. But this mod load order or conflict thing really is confounding me. Looking for someone to offer troubleshooting advice via this forum.

Is it crashing immediately at start-up? If so, that's usually due to a missing or late-loading master file. You say you're using LOOT - are you reading any warnings or errors in its log? That's the first step toward trying to narrow the problem down.

What kind of video card do you have in your computer?

Was everything working before, and the crashing started after you made some kind of configuration change or driver change to your computer?

With that many mods loading and a 32-bit operating system, you may very well be running out of memory, which will cause a crash. Try disabling all of your mods except for the official DLCs and the unofficial patches and see if the game runs. If it does, try adding mods back in slowly, running LOOT every time you add a batch in, and then play-testing the game for a bit to see if the crashing returns. Keep repeating this until the crashing does return, and then you can narrow it down to one of the mods in the last batch you added.

If you're going to use that many mods, you really need to learn how to use TES5Edit and Wrye Bash to clean your game .esm files and create merged/bashed patches. It looks daunting but it's really not that difficult to do, and there are plenty of tutorials that will walk you through it.
