Help with load order

[ArschGaul]

Hello,

 

I have absolutely no idea how to organize my load order properly. My save games start to corrupt as soon as I kill the first dragon in the story. It would be great if someone could assist me with organizing the load order.

My PC specs are:

AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-Core
16GB ram

GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER

 

My current load order:

First of all, did you run LOOT? It does give you a pretty serviceable baseline for your LO in general, then you need to check the mod descriptions to see if they need to be above or below other specific mods, or if they are even compatible with eachother. Also, it's highly advised to build a bashed patch to resolve conflicts with leveled lists.

 

It'd be beneficial to post your log as well, if it contains a large number of errors in a short play session and/or if it's quite large in size, there easily might be more to your game than just a wonky load order.

 

A word of advice: put that modlist under a spoiler tag, so it won't make your post needlessly long.

Hello,

At a glance, your load order contains many deeply out of date mods.

 

When getting mods, look for published/last updated dates.  As a rule of thumb, anything pre-2015 should be instantly marked as suspect.  The modding tools and modder standard practices were rough in 2014. This isn't to say a 2014 mod is instantly bad while a 2020 mod is gold, but I would generally say pre 2015 should be avoided.

 

Some examples from your load order:

These are very old and unsupported now.  Use More Nasty Critters instead.

Sounds of Skyrim had many issues that could lead to save corruption.  May have been solved, maybe not.

Older versions of these caused save problems.  AFAIK newer ones are fine.  I have no idea how old your versions are from the load order.

 

As a general practice, loading a shit-ton of mods and playing only guarantees that 1) things will break quickly, and 2) you will have no idea what caused the problem.

 

Develop (over long hours of playing) a solid core that works for you and throws few errors/experiences NO CTDs and NO save issues.  That is the foundation to build from.  It will be a lot fewer mods than you would like.  Once you have that foundation, then build upon it.

 

If I am going to make significant load order changes to my game, I strip out anything I can live without and play to level 20 or so to get a feel for how this load order works for me.  Assuming no issues, I build another five (or ten if they are very dissimilar) mods onto the pile and start over from level 1 through upper teens.  Rinse repeat until you experience issues (you now have a small list of five mods to check for what is generating the symptoms*).

 

* Symptoms doesn't mean a bad mod, just a bad mod interaction.  Two perfectly fine mods can break each other if they aren't compatible, making whichever got loaded second look like it is the problem.

 

If this sounds like hours of endless entertainment... yeah.

 

The end result of a process like this is being able to merge mods and run thousands of them without crashes.

Thanks for the tips
