CTD when loading save

[Romaniacula]

So, I have 202 saves and a lot of mods, but through experience, patience and time, I have been able to play skyrim with all my mods pretty flawlessly, but today for no reason my skyrim started crashing when loading my recent save. the day before I was playing just fine, I did not install new mods or change anything, I do know that it is possible that the saves are corrupted, when i load back to save 100 it does load in, but any higher and it insta ctd's. A while back I made a backup of my saves at save 145, and even when I load the backup which was made a long time ago and when the game was running fine, it still ctd's and after that I just don't know. I do know that there is a chance that my saves are corrupted and unrecoverable, but I just wanted to ask to see if anyone knew anything, because I am at a loss. I have tried many different things, like many different save repairing tools and corrupted file tools, engine fixes and some other stuff. If its too much to read that's fine I've basically given up on that character for now.

It's a very long shot (Meaning its not the likely cause).

Start with your windows update and see if something has been installed or updated (You may have to check driver or other update sections as well). Video Drivers, .net Framework, or Visual Studio's are especially key to look for.

If you have installed or Uninstalled other games. Steam redistributables may have been affected. I don't know what to do to trigger a correction for that.

Those are the only things I can think of if Mod's have not been changed during this play through.

I guess Game Progress (comparing where you were and what you were doing at save 100 vs save 202) may be a factor.

Try loading save 100 and then a higher save and see if that works. (Without restarting the game. IF you haven't already tried.).

Another thing to try. Start up the game and let it sit at the menu for anywhere from 20-30 seconds, then try loading.

Edit: Clarified and added. The wait a bit before loading a game worked for me when I was getting constant CTD Loading a week or so ago.

yeah, there was no updates or changes with windows or any drivers, I didn't uninstall or install any games. I already tried the "loading save 100 and then a higher save and see if that works", it doesn't I even tried playing a bit at save 100 and then loading the higher ones, still doesn't work. I waited a bit multiple times in the menu before loading, each time I waited longer, still CTD.

Small tips:
- keep just a small amount of saves in the saves folder, backup or delete the others
- don't use autosave or quick save, only manual hard save
