What did I do wrong? a.k.a CTD's after following the S.T.E.P Guide thoroughly.

[TehPenguin]

Hello there and welcome to my desperate shriek for help!
 
After having multiple and continuous issues with modding and after having spent a time amount to fix those issues that was almost equal to my play time... I decided to say goodbye to lazyme and take my time to get through the S.T.E.P guide.
 
I'll try to keep it short but informative so those of you generous enough to help me don't fall asleep whilst reading:
 
I installed every mod suggested by the guide, used all of the recommended textures and only the recommended ones. The only exception is the water texture where I choose the 1024 version over the proposed 512(because water is a really important ingredient of my eye candy). I applied only the INI tweaks from the guide and from the Rainbow mod(fLODFadeOutMultObjects in SkyrimPrefs.ini was set to 10).
 
I also took my time with it(nearly a week)to avoid errors caused by exhaustion from the extensive 'modding'.
 
So! After getting finished with the guide, applying the finishing touches with LOOT, FNIS, Wyre Bash and Dual Sheath Redux Patch I created a profile named S.T.E.P in hopes for creating a working, modded, platform of the game that I can pick-up and mod to my characters needs.
 
But before doing that, before modding it further I took the S.T.E.Pped Skyrim for a 'spin'. Everything looked great! I created my character, went through the Helgen sequence and the dungeon after that. So what's my problem?
 
I played the sequence twice and got CTD'd twice:
1. CTD happened while engaging the first pack of wolfs that attack you right before Riverwood. It happened the exact second as I hit one of the wolfs with the sword. Looked the Papyrus Log up:

[09/07/2014 - 10:44:31PM] warning: Property DLC1VampireBeastRace on script zbloodnpc attached to Active effect 3 on (0006E279) cannot be initialized because the script no longer contains that property

multiple of those preceded by

[ (2200BAEB)].FXBirdFleeSCRIPT.OnCellAttach() - "FXBirdFleeSCRIPT.psc" Line 21

There were also some missing textures on and around the standing stones but I think it's better we focus on the CTD's at the moment.

2. CTD happened while rounding the corner on the path just before the standing stones(where you stand directly in front of the stones after you've rounded that corner).

[ (2200BAEB)].FXBirdFleeSCRIPT.OnCellAttach() - "FXBirdFleeSCRIPT.psc" Line 21
[09/07/2014 - 11:10:32PM] warning: Property DLC1VampireBeastRace on script zbloodnpc attached to Active effect 5 on  (000B6CE1) cannot be initialized because the script no longer contains that property

This time the textures loaded correctly.

 

The thing I do not understand is: I started a completely new game, new save. How can there be missing scripts when I did not remove anything from the game?

EDIT: Updated with LoadOrder and ModOrder(Thank you Gandaganza)

Edited September 10, 2014 by TehPenguin

[TehPenguin]

Silly me. I somehow replaced the d3d9.dll thus disabling the ENB fix. Now my game runs smoothly(fingers crossed). I got so much faith in the Mod Manager that I forgot about all the other stuff. Thank you all for your help. I hope I won't be needing it anytime soon.

[Ganda]

In the Mod Organizer directory, go into profiles, open the respective profile (should be named STEP) and everything is in there :p 

Did you install any Packs?

 

Posting your load order should help the people who actually understand scripts help you!

[TehPenguin]

Oh. Obviously. Thank you. 1st post updated.

 

And no, I have only installed mods from the extended STEP guide.

[Ganda]

Well, I can see that you didn't run LOOT after installing DSR, since that plugin is after the bashed patch (only dynamic patches, like DSR patch, can go after the bashed patch)

[TehPenguin]

Oh that I did. Even multiple times. But it was probably only on the profile I created from the copy of the STEP profile(and the one I started playing on). Updated with the loadorder from the profile. Sorry for the confusion.

Edited September 10, 2014 by TehPenguin

[Ganda]

Did MO complain about mod order? And did you use its fixer?

[TehPenguin]

Yes it did. I ran it both with MO's fix and without(I kept the STEP profile with the guides order and applied the fix to the new profile). Nothing changed though.

That's what MO complained about:

 

 

• Move Thieves Guild Requirements - No Auto Quest Start Brynjolf after Traps Make Noise - More Dangerous Traps
• Move When Vampires Attack after Thieves Guild Requirements - No Auto Quest Start Brynjolf
• Move Complete Crafting Overhaul Remade after When Vampires Attack
• Move The Choice is Yours - Fewer Forced Quests - Improved Dialogue Options after Complete Crafting Overhaul Remade
• Move The Paarthurnax Dilemma after The Choice is Yours - Fewer Forced Quests - Improved Dialogue Options
• Move Non-Essential Children after The Paarthurnax Dilemma

 

 

Edited September 10, 2014 by TehPenguin

[Ganda]

Run LOOT in the one where you didn't fix, redo all the patches in the order provided by STEP (bashed - DSR - FNIS) and try out again from a brand new game or a clean save outside helgen

[TehPenguin]

Weird. Now it CTD'd while riding the carriage to Helgen(pretty much at the gate).

 

Papyrus says pretty much the same:

I don't know then :x Someone who recognizes those scripts should be able to help you, hopefully

[TehPenguin]

It seems pretty random, though. Now it CTD at the headsman. PapyrusLog stays the same.

[Fereval]

In an attempt to pinpoint the culprit mod(s) -it there is any- I would try the following (very basic pinpointing method, sorry it's a bit time consuming especially if the CTD is hard to reproduce) :

I will explain it step by step, but as I said, it's a rather basic procedure so you will certainly understand the reasoning quickly.

 

 

• Don't activate any of the dynamic/bashed patches. Run LOOT, then experience on a new save.                                                                                                                            

If the same script related CTD still occurs, go on to the next step.

If it doesn't, well you have a better idea with what the problem is related to.

 

 

 

• Backup, then delete Skyrimprefs.ini and Skyrim.ini located in your current profile folder (Mod Organize/Profile/Your_profile) and replace them with the ones that are conserved in your Vanilla default profile folder (they should have been left untouched). Run LOOT, then experience on a new save. 

 

" -same as above- "

" - "

 

 

• Activate only one half of yours mod list (which we will call A). Run LOOT then experience on a new save.

If the same script related CTD still occurs : You know that the problem is related to A mod list combination; and that the other half (B) is theoretically unrelated... Just to be sure, activate only B, run LOOT then experience on a new save. The CTD should be gone, continue on to the next step. 

 

If it doesn't : the problem is obviously related to B. Go on to the next step, replacing "A" by "B".

 

 

 

• Activate only one half of A (we can call the 2 subsets A1 and A2). Run LOOT then experience on a new save.

From now on it's only rince and repeat the procedure, until you pinpoint down with precision the mods subset combination that cause the same-script CTD.

Just keep in mind that it's probably a mod combination that provoke the CTD rather than a mod by itself, the former being obviously harder to pinpoint...

 

 

As basic as it is, hope that can help, personally that's what I do when I'm left with a problem with no idea how to deal with.

[TehPenguin]

Thank you for your reply! Sadly, deactivating the dynamic/bashed patches did not help and I am afraid deleting the ini files won't do it either since I deleted all skyrim files when I started using MO and redownloaded everything. I will try everything, though. It seems like the rinse and repeat option is my only solution, which is sad news. I followed the S.T.E.P Guide because I wanted to have a stable modded platform but I guess life would be too easy then ^^ I'm still not sure if the guide needs to be revised or did I mess up something.

[TehPenguin]

Ignore this post for now.

Edited September 12, 2014 by TehPenguin

[DoubleYou]

You have the STEP Extended Patch loaded in the load order at the wrong place.

1. Launch LOOT and make sure you have the correct priority assigned to it

2. Sort plugins

 

Don't use the Sort button, as it uses an older version of LOOT and doesn't sort quite perfectly.
