Help! Skyrim is crashing! When I enter Castle Dour then go back out to Solitude it's UNSTABLE (SOLVED)

[DragonBong]

So i have been messing around with Skyrim Special Edition Xbox One and so far it has been great besides a few fps drops here and there while progressing through Skyrim with mods. Now i know mods have been cautioned upon, but as i said it has been fine until today. I started the mission where i defend Whiterun from the Stormcloakes, no fps drop it was completely fine i quick saved and moved on to the next quest. Now for some reason Reunification of Skyrim has been playing up sometimes... the quest itself works just fine, i enter Castle Dour get my new quest and everything is still fine, i go back out into solitude and quick save... and when i do it crashes (sometimes). It's like when ever i get out of Castle Dour i have major problems because before Castle Dour, i could quick save all i wanted but after i re-enter Solitude, I cant quick save AT ALL or MAIN SAVE. It just crashes. I can still fast travel from place to place, but it ends up with the same result crashing when quick saving and or main saving. I don't know why this is happening all of a sudden, all of my mods work fine with each other before Castle Dour. I have over 150 mods working well, but after this i am not so sure, i have followed load ordering sequences before to make sure i have the best immersion in Skyrim. I have looked up numerous threads online to help my crashing problems, but no one seemed to have the same problem as i do. I have completely hard shut down my xbox so many times but with no luck. 150 mods seem to be a lot, but it was all stable before this quest.

[Update 1]
Ok idk wtf is happening.. i tried my skyrim and proceeded with my quest, and all of a sudden it saves? Thank Lord but still i need help on this, i am still trying to think if its that bug where you try to talk to Legate Rikke where she doesnt give you any 'Report In' dialogue maybe it couldn't stand saving on a bug... curious.

[Update 2]
I am so glad! My Skyrim hasn't crashed since! Main Saving and Quick Saving work like a charm! So the solution to this problem was quite easy... maybe too easy, all i had to do was progress through the story quest without saving anything IT TOOK ME a whole day to figure this out!!!(including turning off all auto saves). I am more than convinced that it was the quest that screwed me.. i was thinking mods but it was actually Skyrim stuffing up, if you're having this problem i recommend going to this page as it helped me through the quest story bug! https://www.gamefaqs.com/xbox360/615803-the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/answers/333808-reunification-of-skyrim-legate-rikke-wont-proceed
I am so over this now yet i still want to play more XD, it's not like anyone will read this anyway... But! i will keep saying i have all these mods and its stable for the xbox one.. don't know for PS4 or PC, but for Xbox well for me its working with little to no lag at all. People should consider my load order i have gone to 150 mods now and its literally at its limit. PS the only intense lag you will get with this load order is in Riften, Slight lag in Solitude, sometimes laggy when outside in the world of Skyrim, especially when it comes to forts and huge lag when on the world map, but not looking at a large amount of locations is a result in smoothness.

[Update 3]
So i played Skyrim for a while and i still have some minor fps drops when outside in Skyrim, but none in dungeons. My first crash happened yet again upon the arrival of Riften when trying to fast travel there... It's happened many times, but the only real way i can enter it is by going somewhere near then walking into Riften hopefully hard restarting my xbox will do the job, it has worked flawlessly before when arriving in Riften... But if it keeps happening then i have to find a fix soon...:/

[Update 4]
Whenever i try to fast travel, sometimes i crash. This happens a lot when trying to fast travel to Solitude, near or in. Riften finally works, but now Solitude is crashing... Still no luck though, i can't even fast travel near it without it crashing... why Skyrim? Now for some reason Skyrim is working, i have fast traveled to Solitude with no crash... What is going on with Skyrim? Quick saving crashed my game, i think i still just have to proceed again to fix it. Ok, proceeding works well and quick saving is working again. Fast traveling out of Riften made me CTD, its only luck for it not to crash. Crashes upon crashes, this time i know its because of mods, but it only crashes now and then, and its not as annoying, i can finally fast travel, i dont know how i fixed it but i can.

[Update 5]
Skyrim froze, just like froze no crash with sounds. At the time i had 60 fps, this is just Skyrim it's self. Its still♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥me off how sometimes fast travel works flawlessly then just crashes... its all about luck now..

[Update 6]
Upon fast traveling to the stables of Windelm, i crashed to the dashboard. I realised when fast traveling to Windhelm whenever you crash, you have to hard reset your xbox in order to quit any files that are open which may corrupt your game into CTDing. Seeing if its successful. It was highly successful, not only was the war on Windhelm doable, but there was absolutely no FPS spikes. Other than that, there was slight freeze and go moments, but that only happened when i entered the city of Windhelm. I fininshed the quest with no crashes and flawless gameplay and finally Skyrim has its immersion back. Dis awesem.

[Update 7]
My Skyrim hasn't crashed since Windhelm and i am so grateful that it hasn't, but i have ran into another weird and confusing moment in the game. Its not a crash but its both my followers, they look completely black one with no hair and the other, his armour is black... not being racist don't judge me, its the game thats making them black... and it was fixed when i fast traveled making the texture reload to their original forms.

[Update 8]
Another crash yet another fix, but this time it was a crash that was unexpected. Newly added mods that i have acquired have made my Skyrim CTD. I was in Whiterun's Dragonsreach and was going through my inventory, and just like that its crashed. Thinking it was because of new mods. A fresh hard restart to the Xbox should work.. i have to find out. Turns out hard restarting my Xbox was great success, no crash going through my items this time. I'll be checking any crashes that occur, further testing is the only way these mods can workout. For now i think i'll be good.

[Update 9]
Fresh new mods and i still haven't learnt my lesson :/ crashed when i tried to continue last save, this is due to heavily changing mods around and implementing new mods. A hard reset is whats best as for now... Upon hard restarting my xbox, yet again it shows that it is quite useful! My load game didn't crash and the new mods are working perfectly fine. Yet there still remains a problem.. the children of Skyrim have no texture and are bald! They all friggin' look like shiny potato heads! I'll fix this somehow like i did with the rest of these lousy crashes. Apparently this, override patch for the Children RS Overhaul will fix it, i am yet to try it.. or if its even on the Xbox mods selection page. Turns out that there is no patch for it, but i have to put the mod that alters children above the loading process of RS Children Overhaul. YES! it worked, no more shiny potato heads! i'd knew i would fix this! Easy, i'll take note that i should read the description more often...

[Update 10]
NO crashes which is great, but now some of my characters especially the companions have something thats called the 'Fruity Pebble Face Bug'. I looked it up and the fix is within my load order. Putting the mods that change the faces of them on top of everything seems to fix it according to some critics but if there is some other mod messing with the meshes of the faces then i will have to change up in order to fix my Skyrim. I cracked it. All i had to do was put the Beauties of Skyrim mod another all the mods that change faces in a way so the meshes don't collide. Easiest fix so far.

[Update 11]
Farkas glitched out on me with him turning into a werewolf. The transformation was fine but when he turned back into a human his armour set and his face were all different. No threads online have seen or heard this, i guess its just how the story progresses when mods are implemented in the vanilla story line. If i can fix him and turn him back to normal i think i have to mess with my load order but not change it so he'll load into his proper form once again. However, this technique did not work as i am still trying to figure out how to change back Farkas. Its not like he is an important character, but i want Skyrim to be at it's best. I am going to try the full reboot option as my game crashed when quick saving again, but the full reboot helped me get through a lot of these damn crashes. Unfortunately, Farkas still looks the same as before, i am thinking of uninstalling then reinstalling the meshes... although i was able to fix the quick saving bug which is even better. The BUG is back from Update 10 i don't know why maybe the load order is stuffed up again... i'll have to check.

[LARGE UPDATE 12]
So i went online to find this thread that formally structures your whole load order. I did this because i felt my load order was a bit messy and was all over the place. I spent a good 3 hours and a half doing all the changing and configuring. First i had to copy my original load order sequence and paste it on word. Then i copied the threads formal 'BIG TITLES/MAIN TOPICS' and laid them all out. First i knew it was going to take awhile, then when i was done it took even longer to do the whole changing processes in my original load order. Now that i can finally say i am done with the load order, it has been pasted on this thread and if you want to check it out, by all means go right ahead. I haven't tested it out yet.. but i will soon, because for all i know this could just be another disaster waiting to happen... oh and by the way, this is the link to the formal loading sequences for your mods: https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/5bbltx/xbox_138_mod_load_order/
So i enabled all of my mods and they work just fine in the order that they are in. Farkas' face is fixed, but Aela's face isn't at all, and she was the one i was trying to fix the most before Farkas. Although i do have now an extra slot for another mod, perhaps i can get the face lift for Aela...

[Update 13]
The Aela facelift mod didn't work, and i don't know why her face is even like that, i should check online to see what helps this awful mutation. Alright, i did some research for this and it turns out adorable females or the KS Hairs mod are the problem.. it seems that these either mods clash and effect her in such a way. Oh and i forgot to full reboot my xbox... when i got the Aela facelift, thats why it didn't work :/. But now lets see if this works. The Hard reboot didn't work at all!!! Nothing is working to fix Aela up!! As is no one gives a warning about Aela's face being permanently colourful because of the bug 'The Silver Hand'... you have to install specific features after this quest line. Soooo annoying. This time i'll try to disable the mod where it wrecks her face. After that, i'll see if it works without a reboot and if it doesn't then i'll reboot. None of these options worked... i went to an old save file and now i have to reset everything to do with the companion's quest. I think she's fixed now though. Never mind she is far from fixed...but i found out something useful, the KS hairdos is the problem to her face meshing up. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't i just have to put up with it now...
