Skin and Body CTD troubles

[DocHammoc]

Every dozen or so mods I stop to benchmark and play the game to test for stability.  Of course I check to ensure mods are not dependent on something not installed yet and also run LOOT and always start with new game.  Dynamic mods that depend on all other mods are problematic.  Right now I'm including them but not dynamically updating them.  This includes DynDOLOD and ASIS right now.  I backed out FNIS and other mods after Skin and Body.

 

To test I choose the default male Nord and start at the Docks of Solitude and run up the stairs, turn left and run up the hill.  I keep running in that general direction for 5 or 10 minutes before assuming I'm good.

 

With "Better Males" I normally don't get past running up the hill before CTD.  With "Mature Skin" I usually crash just after using the bed.

 

I 'm at 6GB system ram, Win 7 64bit, 2GB 680 Nvidia GPU, 1280x800 (yes that's right .. low resolution for testing).

 

I've also selected 1k version of textures for most mods where available.

 

I've updated my SRLE to June 6 0:49:49 (wip to Skin and Body mods).

 

Uhg!

Do you have the UNPB body installed? Because you need the XPMSE Skeleton to not crash if you do.

[DocHammoc]

No but that is good information.  I have Cover Khajiits, Forgotten Argonian Roots, and Khajiit body replacers for UNP and CBBE.   Hmmm, maybe I should try adding the XP32 Maximum Skeleton Extended ...

 

.. also wonder if UNPB Body is required as well ???

Ok .. I added UNPB Body and XP32 MSE and tested.  It worked fine WITHOUT "Better Males" and "Mature Skin".  I then added Mature Skin and I got a bit further, up the hill and back down again with CTD within a couple minutes.  I have not tried Better Males.

Also see https://forum.step-project.com/topic/10422-mature-skin-texture-and-body-ctd/  Maybe running a 2 GB card is simply not feasible?!

I had stuff working fine with my old GTX 670 setup. That was only a 2 meg card. 

 

You just have to be very careful with what you run. Choose 1k and lower textures when you can, and maybe reconsider using an ENB preset at all.

Performance is 60+ FPS before it CTD's.  It reassuring you had everything working .. means I just have to keep trying :confused:
