SSE freezes and has infinite loading screen with just nexus mods

[puffen0]

my game only crashes when i use mods from the nexus, the game runs smoothly with the bethesda.net mods. ive been using nexus for a couple years now with the original skyrim. the game either freezes when i open a container or my inventory or i get an infinite loading screen when loading a cell. i cant even use the flora overhaul because it crashes when i go outside

here's my load order after using loot

the issue isnt that, its that if i have any mods from the nexus the game crashes

Is your list of mods in your Plugins.txt in the same order as that which LOOT suggested?

Real Mountains gave me crashes a while back, so I disabled that. I'm still having infinite loading screens though, especially when travelling to the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary.

Just tried that, didn't really help in my situation. My one handed weapons started to be equipped as two handed and then the game froze

Screw it. I'm done with the nexus mods. I've tried with no Bethesda.net mods and just nexus ones and it still crashes. Idk why it's doing this.

Load order is probably the biggest thing. I notice you have Realistic Water Two up pretty high when it is suggested to be loaded almost dead last.

Have you tried any load order changes?

Have you tried loading each mod one at a time and seeing if one causes a crash?

i use loot to load all my mods. i have tried one at a time with no crashes but once i get really into the game it crashes and then refuses to load at all after that point. the crash is so bad that i cant close skyrim and i cant even tell my computer to log out or shut down. i have to hold the power button and then get everything fixed again

It's doing that because you've done what nearly everyone does who blames mods. Chuck mods at a game with absolutely no Idea what it is you're doing to your game, or how you're supposed to mod your game. The Nexus didn't become defacto for modding by not being fit for purpose.

Nexus Mod Manager seems to have a bug in it that messes something.
I know I had problem with it that never occured by using the method described below.

Manually decompress the mods files in the Skyrim Special Edition\Data folder and activate the esp files directly from the in-game "mod reorder" HUD.

Then, when it get back to the main menu, it tries to reload the mods.
Don't trust the game to do it correctly, the game sometimes crash or do weird things if you try the new mods right after the game auto-reload.
Just to be safe, before using the mods, quit the game and restart it.

This is what I do, and it works perfectly, everytime.

Found this on the forum about LOOT :


Skyrim SE 1.2.39 will ignore any DLC entry in plugins.txt and instead will force load the DLC according to the time date stamp of the files. Currently no 3rd party tool writes the DLC to plugins.txt in accordance with patch 1.2.39 changes. All files listed after the DLC will be written into plugins.txt and sorted by LOOT.

So, yeah, using the in-game reorder tool to reorder your mods correctly is the only safe way to go right now.

Thank you I'll try that soon. I was at work all night so I just saw this. By decompress you mean extract the zip file to the data folder right?
