Skyrim SE/AE new game crash upon entering an exterior cell and clearing pop-ups | Nexus Mods | Page 1

As stated, I'll exit the 'starter cave' and I'll get the pop-ups for "Survival Mode" (I select 'no' as I have iNeed and Frostfall instead), and "Religion" (the 'Wintersun' mod) - though the order varies. The crash isn't instantaneous after that, but moving (even just 'mouselook') brings it on quicker.
I have tested coc-ing to an interior cell straight from the main menu (QAsmoke, then the 'Riverwood Trader' interior cells), but then I try to go outside, I get the pop-ups, and then my game crashes (sometimes with a visible 'lock up' before it dumps me back to the desktop).

Attached are crash reports gather from two different crash-loggers ('Trainwreck' & https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/59818?tab=description ).

ah interesting not jsut 1 npc

#

but still the same plugin

#

that references the npcs

#

can you summon either of them in a cell out of riverwood?

#

see if it crashes

smoky hornet Mar 14, 2025, 8:25 PM

#

Wait a sec... Both 'QuarriesOfSkyrim.esp' and 'Eli_RiverwoodShack.esp' - Those are too completely independent mods, there shouldn't be anything linking both of them...?

clear crag Mar 14, 2025, 8:27 PM

#

'Eli_RiverwoodShack.esp is the plugin that modified the cell they were spawn in

#

just spawn them out of the cell and see

#

#

I've looked up their NPC_ 'number', and put into the console "moveto player (number)" - But I get a 'compiled script not saved!' error...

clear crag Mar 14, 2025, 8:29 PM

#

cus it's just moveto player

#

without anything at the end

#

onceyou click a ref

#

player is basically just some variable that returns the ref id of the player

#

the syntax is moveto <ref id> iirc

smoky hornet Mar 14, 2025, 8:30 PM

#

But I can't tell it WHAT to 'moveto player' because I can't get the ID manually (by clicking ON them or anything).

clear crag Mar 14, 2025, 8:31 PM

#

you do not need no id

smoky hornet Mar 14, 2025, 8:31 PM

#

Should I go with a "placeatme" command instead?

clear crag Mar 14, 2025, 8:31 PM

#

once you click them you just type moveto player...

smoky hornet Mar 14, 2025, 8:31 PM

#

I CANT 'click them'

clear crag Mar 14, 2025, 8:31 PM

#

then yes use placeatme

#

since you probly cudn't get their ref id to do prid anyways

#

since you'd probly crash

smoky hornet Mar 14, 2025, 8:32 PM

#

Just "placeatme (reference)" then...?

clear crag Mar 14, 2025, 8:32 PM

#

placeatme requires base id

smoky hornet Mar 14, 2025, 8:33 PM

#

The 'base ID' being the string of letters and numbers after the NPC_ tag?

clear crag Mar 14, 2025, 8:34 PM

#

pretty sure one of them is 3A00A222

smoky hornet Mar 14, 2025, 8:34 PM

#

Yup! Thats it exactly!

clear crag Mar 14, 2025, 8:35 PM

#

and what happens?

smoky hornet Mar 14, 2025, 8:36 PM

#

Nothing so far as I can tell... No error message, but no NPC appears either... Try a different interior?

clear crag Mar 14, 2025, 8:37 PM

#

nah, try disabling the plugin that modified the cell and go to riverwood this time @smoky hornet

smoky hornet Mar 14, 2025, 8:38 PM

#

So the second listed .esp - The one for Eli's Vuoksi mod?

clear crag Mar 14, 2025, 8:39 PM

#

ye

#

Eli_RiverwoodShack.esp

#

make sure do a new game

smoky hornet Mar 14, 2025, 8:43 PM

#

Whoops - I was just doing "placeatme" instead of "player.placeatme"

#

AH HA!! I hit enter on the command, instant crash!

#

Right, so I'll try again with Vuoksi disabled, see if I can summon him again then.

clear crag Mar 14, 2025, 8:46 PM

#

smoky hornet AH HA!! I hit enter on the command, instant crash!

lol well it is the plugin that made the npc

Tenor

#

thought it wud be the cell, oh well

smoky hornet Mar 14, 2025, 8:47 PM

#

So the mod the NPC is from, not other one?

clear crag Mar 14, 2025, 8:47 PM

#

in the log it said broken facegen

#

Quarries of Skyrim.esp

#

is where the npc are from

smoky hornet Mar 14, 2025, 8:48 PM

#

I've been recommended elsewhere to install the "Face Discolouration fix" mod as well - So I'll do that too.

clear crag Mar 14, 2025, 8:50 PM

#

that only is for when facegen is black, but ye worth the try, you shud always have it

smoky hornet Mar 14, 2025, 8:56 PM

#

Well, I have it now - But I didn't stop the game from crashing when I tried to spawn the NPC

#

So I'm disabling the associated mod entirely...

#

that being this one: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/10301
