Skyrim crashes to the desktop with numerous mods installed.
Loot tells you what needs cleaning and whether updates are available. I spent about four hours reviewing mods, switching lighting and weather settings. They also adjust the load sequence, which can cause issues if it’s not correct—especially before reaching the start screen. Check the guide on using tesedit for file cleanup.
Loot claims that Sounds of Skyrim and Lighting Overhaul/Climates of Tamriel clash unless you modify them, because the update doesn’t work with NMM. I decided to manually add the files to the data folder, though the instructions aren’t clear. The game crashes after each attempt. I could reload the mods again, but it’s exhausting dealing with this back-and-forth. My FPS would drop once more (it was smooth at 60 fps before, then crashed). Tes5dit is the least helpful tool. Editing is turned off and the program freezes instantly.
I'll check it over tomorrow, so I'm exhausted from this tough modding game.
Mod Organizer helps spot conflicts and saves time. It highlights issues quickly. Remember to check each mod’s requirements before installing. Time and effort paid off!
