A Mysterious CTD

[shar181]

I have encountered a most curious CTD in the Rift region. I believe the problem lies in the burned out house located south of Riften, as shown in the elegantly annotated map below:

As you can see, I have identified two locations where the crash is absolutely guaranteed to happen, and they're each roughly the same distance from the burned out house and, since there's nothing else of note in that area, I think that house is the likely culprit.

 

I do have one mod which I know alters that worldspace. Interesting NPCs. It adds a Khajiit NPC to the house, along with piles and piles of the assorted junk he's collected. I suspect the CTD is the result of a broken mesh or something, but it was working just fine before the most recent update of Skyrim SE. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this particular problem, and maybe found a solution?

 

Or maybe someone has some advice on how I might go about fixing the problem myself!

 

Edit: I have confirmed that Interesting NPCs is the problem. After disabling that mod and starting a new game, there was no crash.

 

Edit 2: Having confirmed the problem mod, I decided to go and look on the associated forums on the Nexus. Go figure, someone else had the exact same issue and resolved it by installing an update that was not present on the author site where I first got Interesting NPCs. I guess it was made by the guy who updated the mod for SE. In any case, the problem is now resolved!
