Must Start New Game to load Save , else CTD

[gghhgghhgg]

Hey fellow forumees,

 

(First time typing this I accidently closed my web browser)

So I've been having a problem that I cannot load a save without CTDing unless I first start a new game and then load the save. I've done some research and attempted some fixes, but I haven't had a breakthrough. I first installed some Sexlab mods which didn't cause any issues. Later on I installed some survival mods and later on I could only load saves if I loaded an older autosave first, although this wasn't always the case. Later on I installed some combat mods that caused the problem I have now. (btw I am using Mod Organizer)

 

Below I have my mod order posted and some attempted fixes. Please let me know if my mod order is wrong. I am using the suggested mod order from the HCOS 10.4 mod page, which has worked so far. If you need any logs, let me know (and how to do so. For some reason the "How to debug" post didn't work for me). 

 

Thanks for the help!

Attempted Fixes:

(1) fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS = 1000.0 in MO Skyrim.ini -> no change

(2) Mod Organizer LOOT -> no change

(3) Skyrim Startup Memory Editor -> no change

(4) SKSE ini pre-download for lazy users ini mod -> worked for some saves, but my helmet was bugged (would not appear) and would crash after a few seconds 

() A couple other fixes I cannot remember, but will post as I test more.

actually that's what I do every time i play Skyrim. I load a save inside the Alternate Start cell and then load my quicksave. It helps if you're loading a save in a small cell with no other actors. i.e. (cleared dungeon, cave)

 

Sorry not helpful, but you're not alone

Welp i don't see crashfixes in there (Lest i am blind) which does what its name suggests so get that; it fixes a lot including the string count problem in skyrim. Your problem here though sounds like it is caused by to many animations and is a known bug to cause the crashes you experience, the solution is this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/85443/? I used to have to coc qasmoke, and then load a save but no crashes since getting the above mod and i can play right away.

 

EDIT: Swissenergy beat me to it

Thanks for the responses everyone! Sorry for any annoyances I caused. Believe it or not (and I feel dumb saying this) I did not know you could do coc qasmoke from the menu (ikr?). I do that and I can load a save. That crashfix also helped, as sometimes I can load a save from the start, which may not seem helpful but since sometimes I forget to use coc it can save me a couple minutes. 

 

The only problem I have now is that when I die, or reload a save later on, my helmet is invisible, making me "bald" (does not affect NPCs). Reloading any other save except a really old one (when the mods were first installed) will still have this problem, and it is reoccurring. No doubt some mesh conflict, but from where I do not know. I'm going to do some reddit investigating as it seems to be a conflict with one of the combat mods (either the archery overhaul or ultimate.) I'm switching to deadly and wildcat and I'll see what happens.

The Load Game CTD Fix doesn't always work on the first try. You sometimes have to try 2-3 times before the game will load.

I support this one too.  As both Swissenergy and DistortedRealms mention, this resolves many of the initial "cold start" situations which can cause crashes with high level saves.  I also run Crash Fixes on top of it, which seems to help.  I rarely have a crash, but it does happen occasionally.
