I've uninstalled, deleted and unsubscribed countless mods. I've moved every thing out except Skyrim.esp. I verified game cache and de-fragmentated. I've spent hours searching for solutions online. Nothing is working, and I have no explanation for why it doesn't work. And for God's sake, yes, I have under 50 mods.


Does anyone understand why this happens?

Try this:

Update to the BETA update, it solves some issues with subbed mods.

Thanks for that link I am having the same issue I guess I will backup and give their beta a try.

Thank you so much. It worked.

I've come across a new problem. I can enumerate over 50 files with the beta, which is cool. But, when I'm over 50 mods, I can't travel very far outside of cities before I crash to desktop, no error messages.

common senses.

it could be conflict over your "over 50 mods"
if you can play the game without issue with no mods, then you either identity the mod(s) that causing the problem, or try play with fewer mods.
