run verify cache first it seems a lot of people seem to be having this problem did you install the unofficial patches for Skyrim & Dawnguard?

Here is a link to Unofficial Skyrim Patch. You should donwload that + DLC patches for DLCs you have. They are linked at the same page.

Run LOOT to sort your load order after installing those patches. Order is very important. Run this tool always after installng new mods and pay attention to possible errors in Summary and Details. It will help you to keep your game more stable.

If you are interested about what these patches are doing to your game, then release notes (and alternative download sites) can be found from here.

Those did not cause that on their own. Skyrim has few infamous memory bugs. They do not plague all, but many enough that we have considered them as unwanted features of the game.

The best known solution is explaine below. I apologize for not having the time to rewrite it. While instructions what to do should be clear enough, instructions about why to do it are a bit vague.

SKSE 1.7.x has SSME memory fix included. Instructions tell you how to activate it properly. If nothing else in your computer or game is wrong, then this should fix your loading screen problems, and make your overal ingame loading situations more stable.

SKSE, memory and skse.ini

nope, still won't work

[Mormacil]

You only run the patches for the basegame + DLC you own right? Running a patch for DLC you don't own breaks the game :P Also use LOOT to make sure the patches are in the right order. No other mods btw?

[Weary Guardsman]

i just started a new game

[Weary Guardsman]

up to that point and still not working but i use tons of mods like 46 :l

[Indiana_Minotaur]

it's a script related issue then....i don't know what else to do unless you are willing to risk unistalling the entire game and start out with a clean fresh game with no mods and just the main game and it's DLCs included

[Weary Guardsman]

oh gawd well allonz-y
here we go again Rhan

then it must be a visual related mod you are using, try running LOOT and also run verify cache and use TES V edit to clean dirty flies

[Weary Guardsman]

[Weary Guardsman]

i have downloaded TES5Edit but i dont know how to clean them help?
