Missing Textures and Instant Crashes
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1319734711
This is one of the four weird bugs that I have found, and I've tried everything, I got LOOT, TE5Edit, Wrye Bash, and I've cleaned my master files and set my load order, and I haven't found a solution at all to problems when I post on here, Yes, I know Skyrim is an old game, and it has problems, I have the Unofficial Patches to fix some of those. All I want is to play Skyrim modded, but it keeps showing pink, yellow, textures on everything and it frame drops and lags too and then it crashes a whole lot, i don't know what else to do, I've been trying to see on here to get help, but none worked. I need some help.

Can I ask you one question the mods you chose where they mod that require other mods in order to work correctly

best way to fix the random CTD and missing Meshes or Texture

1. uninstall all mods (with the exception of the Unofficial Skyrim Legiondary Patch (USLEEP)
2. use File Cache Verify in Steam to fix the missing core files.( you may want to backup your cleaned copies of the DLC Files before you do this and restore them after.)
3. check your game after this if you can load up and get the game running and your character can roam with out the game CTDing you to a good start
4. add one mod back at a time ( i would suggest going to the mods page and reading the install requirements (some mods require other mods or patches)
5. check your game again if problems arise run TES5Edit and check to see if there are any missing masters (this could also include esp from other mods.)

repeat step 4 and 5 until you get all your mods reinstall and your game running stable.

another thing I would suggest is to watch Gophers Video Series on Modding Skyrim on YouTube.

yup main reason of instant crashing is mods, if you are using mods and some of them need other mods to work or they are outdated (or sometimes they simply aren't good nor stable mods) and this is very likely to be the source especially if you seem to crash each time you are doing the same thing, or goes to a specific place then there is a 90% chance of it being a mod that is not stable or is just causing the crash for some unkown reason.
How much memory does your GPU have? From what I remember reading you may be running out of video memory. You could try installing Enboost if you haven't done that yet.

If you're using Windows 10, right-click on the desktop, left-click on Display settings in the menu. Left-click on Display adapter proberties at the bottom of the newly opened menu, below the Detect button. In the properties window for your adapter, see the Dedicated Video Memory.

Did you install Enboost?

Try right clicking on enbhost.exe. In the enbhost.exe properties window select the Compatibility tab. Then check the "Run this program as an administrator" box.
Have you tried verifying the integrity of Skyrim's game files? Doing so will re-install the dirty master files you've cleaned but you can back up the the cleaned files into another folder before you verify them through Steam. To verify go to your Library page > right click Skyrim > Properties > Local Files tab > "Verify Integrity of Game Files". See this guide for the files to back up unless you don't mind cleaning them again:

And still getting the "run as administrator" messages? Try disabling any virus protection too. There's probably a way to disable security protection in Windows 10 (if that's your operating system) for the Skyrim game folder but I'm not sure how to do that. I installed my Steam directory out of the Program Files(x86) folder so I wouldn't have those frustrating security issues.

Its a mod no less causing this, i had to uninstall Static Mesh Improvement mod because it caused a clash with one of my others, even with my 1080 Ti it caused lagging, quite bad in some places, now it runs smooth as, you'll just have to go though and find which one it is, pain in the ass i know, but if you don't want to see pink and have crashes to ruin your game, its what you'll have to do.

I know its a pain and we all do the right thing but you seem to have a lot of texture mods, do you need them all ?, i'd start one at a time through NMM and see how you go, after 3000hrs i get it down pretty good but still have hiccups like one i got in Markarth yesterday, something conflicting somewhere, good luck.

Who do you mean ?, if it is a mod issue which in all likey it is, you can't very well blame Bethesda and 7 is not that old, i'm still playing it, new mods still keep coming out and people will still play it until they hear from Bethesda about a new Skyrim, like i said its a mod, i subcribed to Helmsyrr Village couple of days ago, when i arrived a Markarth the forsworn that attacks Margret was killing air, there was no-one there for him to kill but he went through the motions, Margret came running up after when she should have been dead, i figured it was a mod so uninstalled the Helmsyrr Village mod, resaved, went back to Markarth and as it should be the forsworn attacked Margret and killed her, unless you stop him this is what is supposed to happen, so there is an example of a mod causing issues.With NMM you can uninstall and reinstall a mod easily, i'd go to a spot where you have the color issues, save there , then try uninstalling some one by one till you find the problem, like i said its not Bethesda's issue if you mod the game past the standard, i only use the game loader anyway and don't have issues with load order, just sometimes you get a mod that causes a problem, long as you have saves in place, you can fix it.

I can't tell you that, maybe start off with the smaller ones like your enhanced blood textures, the eyes of beauty and go from there, hey i have restarted this game that many times i've lost count, i only run 20 mods at the mo, most of them are to do with villages enhanced, i have pure waters like you and ruins and clutter, i have the high resolution pack and saturation boost, hdplants and herbs but not much more than that, do you have your latest video drivers ?, though i doubt thats the problem, it will be a mod somewhere just which one is the question, the static mesh mod is a big one that changes a lot of things and caused lagging in my game even with my 1080 Ti and only playing @ 1920x1080, let us know how you went.

Don't use steam cloud, i never have, never will, here is my load order and what mods i use, i know i did say i didn't use NMM but i put it on the other day and use SKSE though it, well i was going to show you but the ♥♥♥♥ setup Steam has for making it simple to insert images is just a cluster ♥♥♥♥ !!!, should just be able to copy paste from your artwork into here.

Elder Scolls, properties, updates, untick the box for Steam Cloud and see it that helps.

I dont use NMM for Skyrim- I'm using Mod Organizer- but if this picture actually represents the load order upside down I believe the patches should be ordered, looking at them right side up, as:

unofficial skyrim patch
unofficial dawnguard patch
unofficial hearthfires patch
unofficial dragonborn patch

You should probably replace the above patches with USLEEP: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/71214/?tab=files

unofficial high resolution patch (and you have the High Res pack installed correct?)

You might need to order the above files in the Steam Skyrim Launcher.
