Rare game freeze when looting. Any help is welcome.

Recommended Posts

Hello.

When the Skyrim: Anniversary Edition was released I started a new game. Cleaned, patched, and with many mods on top (see list below).

I am around 53 hours in and there is only one glitch that I found so far. It happened 2 times.

First time around was when I visited the shrine of the Daedric Prince of Boethiah. When I tried to loot the NPC Eranya, the game froze. No CTD, but nothing happened either. So I Alt-Tabbed out and continued from an earlier save.

Second time happened in Ansilvund Excavation. I was picking the lock of a container and the game froze again.

I was running with a couple companions and had autosaves on, so I did an experiment.

I ordered companion Sofia to loot the container. After that, I could open the empty container. However, when I tried to access Sofia's inventory, the game froze.

This reminds me that there might be some item from a mod that is not behaving very well.

 

I would be very grateful if anyone could help me out fixing this glitch.

P.S.:

I do not know much of Creation Kit scripting. But I leave the question: is it possible to inspect the FormID's from the items in the container? Then, say, try to pin the mod that added or modified that item with help of xEdit?

 

Thank you in advance.

Unless someone spots a mod that they know to have a history of causing this issue, you will likely have to troubleshoot the problem yourself.  Very likely it is a mod added item, but you may wish to verify the Master files just to rule out that it is an issue with them. Next thing to do is to check that you have all the required patches as needed for your mods, and that all your mods have all their requirements installed. Finally, if you still have the issue, you need to troubleshoot your load order.  For that, follow this general outline: Troubleshooting Your Load Order

As for using tools such as xEdit, if you were already familiar with it, then it would definitely be worthwhile to take a look at your build in it.  However, unless you already know what you should be looking for and why, it would take far longer to learn how to use xEdit to spot potential issues and conflicts, than it would to track down the issue without using it.

Good luck, tyco!  Let us know how things go.

It's probably not related, but one thing that stands out to me is that you have two different automated conflict resolution patches active. The Bashed Patch, and a Smashed Patch.

You should only be using the one generated by Wrye Bash. The one from xEdit is obsolete and has been something that Elminster is considering pulling from the program.

I missed that - but yeah, the Smashed Patch has been obsolete for a quite a long while, and is likely overwriting info in the Bashed Patch, causing issues.  Though, as Arthmoor said, that may not be related to your problem.  Still, it should be taken care of.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

I suspect there is a leveled list problem. It affects items from mages (Eranya was a mage, the container and other mages inside Ansilvund Excavation have that kind of loot as well).

Figured there were some "mashed" settings that I did not understand very well. I won't use smashed patch anymore.

 

Btw, some plugins were handcrafted in xEdit. They affect some compatibility that was lost even with WryeBash (Joy of Perspective, immersive sounds and grass preferences from "No Grassias"). Maybe I just need to learn to apply the right tags and let Bashed Patch take care of it.

I will be following your recommendations, starting a new game with less mods installed at once, and try to add one by one.

 

It's crazy, but I never finished Skyrim (Oldrim). Last played Special Edition in 2019. I am able to boot the save game, even played for a while with these mods until a random crash appeared.

But mostly, I was just too confused from the choices I made! So right now I am aiming for a bug free (hopefully) AE game.

 

Guess killing that troll never gets old.
