Skyrim crashes as I play.
Every time I play I can start a new game, but as I play, the game will just exit. It happens at anytime. If I try to load an existing game save, it will kick me off too. I have LOOT and TES5edit installed and both of them say everything is fine. I have checked FNIS and everything is fine with that too. I am very new to modding games. The only one I have ever modded is the Sims 4. I am not sure what I need to do in order to fix this. Am I able to put my load order on here if there are some dirty mods?:steamsad:

The two likeliest culprits are either your antivirus or one of the mods not playing nice.

When any game bombs out right from the off, then you should automatically suspect it's antivirus (I know that's not the case here but bear with me). Antiviruses can often identify false positives on steam files or game files. Simply go to the antivirus suite, check the quaantined items page, and if there's anything there from either the game or steam itself, make exceptions for them.

In your case, it could well be that a mod is causing a false positive too, which is why it may be bombing out at load of a save.

But any time you start adding mods - especially to Bethesda games - you increase the risk of things going kaput. It's nature of the beast. All you can do in these cases is to either manually uninstall the last mod or so you added to see if it fixes things.

If it does not, then your only real option is to clear everything out and redownload the game vanilla. Then gradually add one mod at a time, running the game each time until you find which one causes the problem.

Thank you!!! I didn't even think of the antivirus. I'm using Panda for the first time so it might be that. I just uninstalled to see if I can figure it out and as much as my impatience does not want me to go one by one, I will. I am just super surprised that it is still crashing even though every program says all files are fine and I only really installed a few mods and the requirements. But I will also tell my antivirus to look away from Skyrim.
