Skyrim is mod-borked

[TorseR]

I don't even know what I did but after following the instructions to download mods and all their dependencies and getting the load order as "correct" as I can find documentation for, Skyrim won't even load. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I've been working on this all weekend and I'm pretty frustrated.

 

I have the Dawnguard DLC, but not the other 2.

 

I installed:

SKSE

FNIS, with Spells & Creature Pack

SkyUI

Unofficial Skyrim Patch + Unofficial Dawnguard patch

MO (I used the tutorial and got MO to go green.)

Sexlab Framework

More Nasty Critters

Animal Mansion

Invulerable Unique Horses

 

Not using any other mods. I followed installation instructions exactly (that I know of). I run FNIS for users. I go to Steam, select Skyrim. I get the first Skyrim screen, open up the data files pop up to check load order. Looks good. Hit Play. Aaaaannd... crash. Every time.

You should be using SKSE launcher, instead of the default launcher. Otherwise SKSE does not work.

- Start Steam. It has to be already running, or Steam offers you the default launcher instead of SKSE.

- Double click SKSE launcher icon in your desktop to start the game. See edit below.

 

About the load order, it is recommended that you sort it out with LOOT. Run it always after installing or updating your mods. Pay attention to number of Errors in Summary and look them up from Details. Those would be the ones crashing your game. Note, that errors are not the same thing than warnings that you see in LOOT report.

Edit:

I did not first notice the Mod Organizer there. You will have to run start the game trough Mod Organizer.

In this case, you will have to run SKSE launcher trough mod organizer for SKSE and mods to take effect.

 

I do not know what tutorial you have been following. I suggest that you see this trough, before proceeding.

Mod Organizer has it's own inbuilt LOOT that is slightly out of date. Gopher gives instructions how to install new version, if you need it.

*sigh*

 

Now I can't even post here. It says I'm trying to post a link and I'm not. I just listed my mods. The. F*ck.

 

Thanks for the help! I look at Gopher's video list - hours of stuff there. Decided to just ditch MO since LOOT is so much easier to use and manually downloading mods to my data folder isn't hard.

 

I can get the game to run now if I don't use any mods. It's after I've loaded the mods, run FNIS, and restarted through SKSE (with Steam running) that the game crashes. Running everything as Admin if that helps.

 

Here is my load order. Am I missing anything from this list? I've been thru all the readmes and instructions but maybe I missed a dependency? I'm starting to go cross-eyed trying to figure this out. (Order decided by LOOT but it looks right to me.):

Unofficial Dawnguard Patch

SexLab

Invulerable Unique Horses

FNISspells

MoreNastyCritters

SkyUI

SexLabNudeCreatures

SexLabNudeCreaturesDB

SexLabNudeCreaturesDG

HentaiCreatures

animal_mansion

SkyrimURWL

Ok that worked... I had to remove the *dot*esp files extensions and such.

 

Also, the crashing is something to do with SexLab. The game will run with all the other mods checked but once I load SexLab, the game crashes. Going to contact read the installation instructions and such for the umpteenth time and try to figure out what I'm doing wrong. If anyone sees it, please comment. Thanks.

The reason why you couldn't post is because you are a new member and there is a block till you have 2 active posts before it will allow you to post certain things it's a spam prevention thing. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/searchresults/?Have you run TES5EDIT to see if anything in your load order has any missing/out of order masters? 

[TorseR]

I'm not familiar with TES5EDIT. I only used LOOT to get my load order correct and read the install instructions multiple times for dependency reqs. At this point, I'll try anything. Thanks, I'll look it up now...

[fizzybutt]

TES5Edit loads up your mods like it would if it were going to run the game. Don't try to fiddle with anything just leave all your mods checked and load them up. Edit will tell you when something is in the wrong order or missing; which sounds like the case.

Found, downloaded and ran it. Got an error, "An error occurred while loading modules. Editing is disabled. Check the message log and correct the error." Went to the log, which says,

"[00:09] Background Loader: [sexLabNudeCreaturesDB.esp] Adding master "Dragonborn.esm"

[00:09] Background Loader: [Dragonborn.esm] Loading file

[00:09] Background Loader: Fatal: <EOSError: System Error.  Code: 2.

The system cannot find the file specified>

[02:56] Background Loader: finished"

 

Tried again but it seems to keep getting stuck on the Dragonborn.esm file...which makes sense because I never downloaded that content. I have dawnguard but not dragonborn DLC.

 

 

[fizzybutt]

Disable your sexlabnudecreaturesDB.esp in your load order. That's what's causing your problem. You should load up just fine after that.

[TorseR]

Even with SexLabNudeCreaturesDB.esp unchecked in the load order the game won't load.

 

And I unchecked it in TES5EDIT and it still causes a crash there:

[00:08] Background Loader: [sexLabNudeCreaturesDB.esp] Adding master "Dragonborn.esm"

[00:08] Background Loader: [Dragonborn.esm] Loading file

[00:08] Background Loader: Fatal: <EOSError: System Error.  Code: 2.

The system cannot find the file specified>

[00:25] Background Loader: finished

 

^ This is with the mod unchecked so it shouldn't be loading or considered.

 

I even tried moving that file out of my Data file to my desktop but the game still crashes. So, I went to TES5EDIT and tried again. This time the loader hung up on HentaiCreatures because of ...you guessed it. It couldn't find Dragonborn.esm. So, it would seem there is a dependency here that the author needs to deal with. I can't keep removing mods because just because SexLab wants me to have the Dragonborn DLC...

 

Actually, forget it. At least I know what the issue is now. I'll either buy DB content or just not use SexLab. It's a great mod lots of people can enjoy, and a lot of work went into it. Kudos. Maybe just make a note in the installation that the DLC content is needed for full functionality.

 

Cheers

Q:

Does this work without Dawnguard or Dragonborn

A:

Partially. Enable MoreNastyCritters.esp and SexlabNudeCreatures.esp if you only have the base game.

Additionally enable SexlabNudeCreaturesDB.esp if you have Dragonborn. Enable SexlabNudeCreaturesDG.esp if you have Dawnguard.

If you have both you can also enable HentaiCreatures.esp

You simply have to disable what stand there in the quote this is btw from the mod page... in your loadorder please do yourself a favor and instal wyre bash if you want to instal mods manualy you can simply check and uncheck the mods you want to loadup with wyre bash. Wyre bash also shows you if you are missing dependencies seriouly get wyre bash this will prevent such questions in the future. Also please before any further question of this kind are coming up if you have installed wyre bash you will start your game from the wyre bash window you still can manage your loadorder with loot wyre bash will adapt the loadorder you have made with loot

 

 

I'll either buy DB content or just not use SexLab. It's a great mod lots of people can enjoy, and a lot of work went into it. Kudos. Maybe just make a note in the installation that the DLC content is needed for full functionality.

 

You don't need any addon for using sexlab... sexlab is the framework what your problem is is more nasty critters that just uses this framework also again you can use it without any

dlc... just do what I said

 

 

And I unchecked it in TES5EDIT and it still causes a crash there:

[00:08] Background Loader: [sexLabNudeCreaturesDB.esp] Adding master "Dragonborn.esm"

you obviouly dit not unchecked it otherwise it would not load.... it obviously is on since the line says sexlabnudecraturesDB.esp you can even delete the esp if you don't have the dlc's that makes it even easier deleted esp's sure dont try to load
