NPCs randomly dying before I even see them

[Varah]

Several times now I have walked into a city for the first time (even closed ones) and either found a dead npc imidiately, or have people saying they are going to miss so-and-so because they are apparently dead. Or sometimes I'll just find a dead guard lying around in Whiterun or somewhere else closed off. I never had this problem with the original skyrim, and I don't think any of my mods could be doing it, at least not to people in closed cities. Is this a bug wtih the special edition or is it actually a mod problem?

You may wanna post your mod list, Otherwise people can't tell you one way or the other.

The ones I had when it first happened are:
The Unofficial Patch
Cutting Room Floor
Forgotten Dungeons
Forgotten City
Alternate Start
Diverse Dragons
Wet and Cold
Realistic Ragdoll
Immersive Patrols

I thought the last one might have been causing it but apparently the patrols can't enter closed cities.

Place "Alternate Start", always, at the very bottom of the load order. That's one of the only things that I can tell you. Other than that, not sure what causes the bugs.

Where's your run and hide mods for vampire and dragon attacks? Must have.

Also I recommend getting SMIM for better graphics.

Do you play with more than 60fps/Hz? In old Skyrim, characters sometimes spawned 20 meters above ground and fell to death, when playing with vsync off or other fps changes. But other than that, I have no problems with dying npcs so I guess it's a mod that causes issues.

Probably vampires. Maybe a dragon

And as Captain Speirs said, if you are sure it's not a mod that causes issues, you should install both When Vampires Attack and Run For Your Lives.

When Vampires Attack lets civillians run inside their houses and lock the door, when vampires attack cities and villages, so they don't die, while trying to fight them.
Run For Your Lives does the same, just for dragon attacks.

When Vampires Attack:

Run For Your Lives:

Should be available on beth.net, too. (Bethesdas Ingame Mod Manager)
