Game keeps crashing upon turning into a vampire.

[シャドウ]

Yeah this is really starting to ♥♥♥♥ me the ♥♥♥♥ off... I don't know what mod it is that is making it crash but here is a list of mods I have, I rather not have to get rid of all of my ♥♥♥♥ing mods as a troubleshooting step so please try to help me another way WITHOUT suggesting I remove/deactivate mods to find the culpret. I will if I have to but I prefer to avoid having to do that and save it as a last resort.

Amazing Follower Tweaks

Campfire Complete

FlowerGirls SE

Heartfire Multiple Adoptions

Marriage Mod To Have and To Hold

Don't question me about my mod choices or how many I have, just help me with my problem regarding the vampire game crash thing. I have already tried removing mods that I would assume could effect this, but I have had no luck and ♥♥♥♥ is still crashing. It is driving me crazy and I dislike it.

I have removed multiple mods now and it is still ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crashing. This is hopeless, I am probably just going to have to uninstall the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing all together.

not sure, maybe its the running animation combined with the run speed mods? i try to avoid multiple mods that effect the same things. hope you find it :)

Never remove mods mid-game.

Here is a list of some things you may find useful before throwing in the towel:

Does it happen when you change into a Vampire Lord, or just when you take the Dawnguard option from Harkon to become a vampire, or when you get the disease from a normal vampire and let it progress naturally?

My first hunch would be any of the Race mods, particularly those that add new races (Yakuza race. Really? No such thing, but whatevr). They may not have complete vampire functionality, or there might be a conflict with another mod, especially if they use loose files.

No it happens when you transform into a vampire, like once the vampirism takes hold and finally turns your character into a full vampire.

And yes I do have two custom race mods, but this was working fine before and I still had those mods when it was working. So there for I don't think the problem is the custom races. I don't really have any other mods that inhance or add races. When I did end up trying to varify my game files it checked out fine, but then I uninstalled it since I was not really sure what else I could I am now getting an error saying that files are locked.

I did not remove my mods mid game, I always quit and end the game before messing with any of my mods.

I removed the mod that was meant to edit speed when I was removing some mods that I did not really need in order to see if I could find the issue. Nothing, it did not help it nor fix it.

You did, the only clean way to remove mods is to start a new character. Switching them out like you have can lead to issues as they leave traces behind.

Someone with more knowledge should be along at somepoint to help you further.

Already did that actually, I tried a lot of things. I am going to see how this install goes, if worst comes to worst I will just whipe all the files and start fresh.

I recommend downloading a program called loot that can help sort out your mod and check for errors. It helped me find speific files within mods causing errors.

You got a link to it? I have actually heard of it, but could never find it. I guess I should state I use Nexus Mod Manager to work with my mods.

https://github.com/loot/loot/releases/tag/0.13.0

i use it alongside NMM(nexus mod manager)

LOOT is not a "smart app" that does what it does by a complex series of algorithms. It runs from a list of "this mod doesn't work with this mod" and that list is not complete.

The safest way to ensure a mod is completely removed is to delete all the loose folders in your Data folder and let Steam put everything back in that's supposed to be there, then reinstall all your mods. This gets rid of loose files, including those which may have replaced vanilla files. It's 3 steps short of a total uninstall/clean install process (deleting plugins.txt and your savegames and your SkyrimSE folder), but at least you save that much time.

If you've extracted any BSAs, you'll have to re-extract them, although that could trigger the same problem.


Since the issue happens when you transform into a vampire, there's an issue with either the script(s) that govern that, or the meshes and textures related to the change, and/or the script(s) that govern the Faction change and NPC relationships. I'm pretty sure that's a Quest of its own, with attached scripts.

Have any of your race mods been updated by Nexus Mod Mangler? It could be an issue with newer versions.

Crap, I already downloaded it... Should I get rid of it? Because after restarting the whole game and removing everything, it is not a problem anymore actually. So this was basically solved through means of purging, uninstalling, and redownloading. I still don't know what was causing the issue though unfortunatly.

Wish you would of came around sooner with the help I needed, if I knew what was causing the issue at least I could of eliminated the mods that effect those things until possibly fixing it.
