This is not how my load order is set up, I use LOOT to autosort my load order (yes I know.)
Furthermore I don't encounter any crashes on start up of the game or starting a new game but as stated above when reloading a save game or continuing a save it instantly crashes to desktop. As for Plugin Limit I only have 152 ESP's the rest are all ESL's.

ANY save? Or just a specific save? Because it might just be that the save got corrupted. If you had to run a downgrader, had you started up the game AFTER the update? If so, you can't use that save any more anyway because it would be changed by the upgrade, I would imagine.

If you have a much older save from that same character that wasn't from the update era, try that?

[EducatedAwsome]

@Zekiran Any save, I started a new game after downgrading the game and rebuilding my mod-list with mods with the downgraded versions and now my game just refuses to load any and all saves. I can still create a new save and play it but upon dying or loading the save it crashes instantly

This strongly suggests you missed something in the downgrade.

Simple test - disable all mods. Can you now start a new game, save it, load it? I’m guessing yes.

Another possibility is you overwrote your ini file and your settings are wrong for your hardware. But given the crash happens on save game load a mod conflict is more likely. One of those mods is not downgrade ready.

Possibly, I was pretty meticulous though when it came to the downgrade. Though mod conflict is possible despite my best efforts to only snatch pre-next gen.

[EducatedAwsome]

As for disabling all the mods, starting a new game, saving, quitting and reloading in just fine.

[The Inept European]

Ok you will have to start working through that long list of mods. Sorry I don’t think there is any shortcut.

[The Inept European]

Best of luck.

No worries, I may just delete and reinstall everything and just go with the next-gen despite my caution regarding that travesty of an update

[Zekiran]

Eh from what I've seen otherwise, there's still plenty of perfectly great stuff, and most mods weren't affected. You ARE using the 'downgraded BA2' mod thing which I couldn't even get to work myself, so I've just lived without updating much in the last year since I'm still on the old version myself.

Did you use any CC? If you have any of those getting in the way that's also something you might want to make sure of, and look up "manifest" in this section of the forum or in sdack's guide because that might also be a problem sometimes your mod list / download manifests are wrong and just need to be remade.
