Odd HDT extensions problem?

[smudge78]

I've got a weird problem that has just started happening today. Any time I try to load my latest save the game crashs, but upon doing so its creating HDT extension saves in my save folder? Three to be exact, they are an autosave.ess, autosave.ess.tmp, and autosave.ess.skse. Upon the load screen it even shows a new thumbnail for the HDT save.  Any idea whats going on and how I can stop it?

It seems to happen when you are somewhere in which there is an actor (dead or alive) with really wonky breast physics, so the plugin crashes your game after making a backup save. Of course, it doesn't really matter because when you reload that save, the actor with wonky breasts is still going to be there and the plugin will again crash your game and make a backup save. So, the solution is to temporarily uninstall the plugin and get out of the current area you are in. Once you are sufficiently far away, you can reinstall the plugin and try never to set foot in that area again.

I really hope you mean to never save in that area again rather than step foot in it lol.

For me at least, the issue would only occur if I got too close to the problem area (which appeared to be rather small), so I never actually had to disable the plugin. My issue only occurred in a certain corner of a room in a dungeon, so I would just have to walk around the area to get past it. Does your issue occur somewhere that you have to pass constantly, because that would be rather unfortunate? I find that the issue does not persist in other save games. For instance, the issue did not occur for me again at the same spot when I started another character.

My god, so that's why... Thank you man I was wondering what the hell was happening and never actually noticed I was always saving in cities near to tons of NPCs with the Havok object and/or female NPCs. Thank you.

That filthy wench's butt must be full of HDT jerking glitches, try to load a previous save, then load your most recent one, then ask Sera to wait outside, wait for 24 hours in game in Breezehome to be sure some other script is not running, save, quit the game then load that save again.
