Help with CTD - Could be Nemesis, or mebbe load order?

[InigoMontoya8675309]

Thank you for any help!

 

New game, clean Skyirim AE install. Played for 2-3 hours with zero problems. Cleared a couple of dungeons, a couple of early quests near Riverwood, did fast travel...all with no hiccups. Walking from Riverwood towards Whitrun causes reproducible CTD every time. Seems to be an issue with the starting quest for Clockwork mod. CTD always happens within 15 seconds after NPC attacks you on the road and you read the note he carries (which adds info to map on next location to travel to).

 

I have tried to avoid the NPC altogether, but he gets killed on the road by another NPC, regardless. This initiates an onscreen notification that the quest started, followed by CTD w/in 15 seconds or so.

 

Papyrus log ends with something about "Nemesis CompareAnimVar (AnimGroup: _sprint, Value: 0, Priority: 0, Mod: XPMSE, Group: 1"

I tried disabling Clockwork, but crash still occurs, even though quest is never triggered. May be related to something about that location/cell?
