CTD on startup

[CommissarFish]

Decently experienced at modding here, and my game has begun to CTD on startup. Most of the time my CTD's (albeit in-game) have been solved by dicking around with scripts with tools or by running BOSS or LOOT again. This sorta happened out of nowhere, so after troubleshooting to the best of my ability I reinstalled Skyrim and most of my mods, and it did the same thing. Playing vanilla was fine. I'm probably missing something blindingly obvious, but I would appreciate all the help I can get.

Thanks in advance, guys.

Hi there. The one thing that immediately stands out is that you don't seem to have Dawnguard in that list but you do have a few Dawnguard-related mods and patches which will almost certainly require it as a dependency. Things like:

 

Dawnguard - Textures

ClimatesofTamriel-Dawnguard-Patch

ELFX-Dawnguard

Skyfalls + Skymills + DG + DB

 

Don't use these if you don't have the Dawnguard DLC.

[CommissarFish]

Oh, damn. I typed my load order, and I guess I forgot to include that in there, but I do have Dawnguard. Thanks, though

[Dreamweaver]

Right! I did wonder if that might be the case.

 

Have you got Wrye Bash or TES5Edit? Starting up either of those with all your mods active should tell you if there's a missing dependency or load order problem. CTDs on start-up are usually one of those two things. Using Mod Organizer to install and manage your mods will also flag up problems like that without needing to run the others, and will let you drag and drop mods into a new order easily without having to re-install anything.

 

Not sure what else to suggest, but maybe give one of those a try?

[CommissarFish]

You.

 

You jut saved my lack of social life.

 

I can't believe I didn't have Wrye Bash and feel like a bit of a dumbass. But thanks for the help. There were indeed missing dependencies for one mod, and I didn't even see that until Wrye Bash. Thanks so much.

No problem! Glad you got it sorted out.
