My game is crashing when loading a recent save

[tehsuperscout]

So I got into modding Skyrim and everything was going on without a hitch for a while. I stopped playing for a few hours one day, got back on and it crashed. Eventually I found out that if I loaded my most recent save by either loading it or dying that the game would crash. I will include my mod load order from Vortex. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

1. Have you disabled any mods during this playthrough (at anytime between when you created your character to the last time you saved?

2. Have you tried loading any other saves (preferably from a fresh game start (Starting the game after exiting, not exiting to main menu and loading, though that could be tried). Point is to see if you can load any game at all.

3. Did any mods get updated recently. Did your windows update system files or drivers. These can have an effect.

I had an issue earlier today where a game wouldn't load, I simply selected the previous game save to that which loaded fine and went on. I try to save every 10-15 minutes at a minimum. Manual saves. If you rely on quick or auto. You will lose it eventually (this is just my opinion).

I did have another character I swapped to occasionally, along with my main character. I did download a couple of mods during my playthrough. One to not have to go into the inventory screen to get items (like fallout 4) and one to point out where the stones of Berenziah would be. I can check the mods to see if any need to be updated but I feel like Vortex would tell me as much.

Was this installed prior to game start or after game start?

Reason I ask is I recently tried to install mid game and it crashed my game. So I am aware of it at the moment.

Edit: Actually you just solved my issue with it for me. Loading it mid play was crashing my game then I noticed you had it below precision (which I also was trying to install) and when I lowered it below precision, it didn't crash my game. Also it evidently activated for Simple Degradation which I wasn't aware was a thing that had an MCM.

But yeah, Point 1: is the main concern, not disabling mods during a playthrough. Doing hat has the most potential for causing a crash at game load if that happened. Next is updating a mod mid playthrough and after that I would start looking at drivers and System updates.

You will occasionally get issues that can't be explained. First thng to try is loading an earlier save and see if the issue persists.

Everything was installed before the playthrough besides BarenziahQuestMarkers.esp and Quick Loot RE.

Do you have an Nvidia GPU and did you update your drivers recently? The newest driver is a flaming turd of instability with massive CPU overhead.

Most people are suggesting rolling back to a different version, the last one the Nvidia community recognizes as stable is 528.49.

I tried updating mine but it didn't seem to go through even after multiple attempts. I will look into it.

Bit late, but still, if this happens for ONLY your most recent save, its a corrupt or hidden corrupt save, so that just means delete it, go from your new most recent save, then just continue as normal.
