Help With Skyrim TrueVision ENB

[Morcaster]

Just finished installing everything from

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30936/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D30936%26preview%3D&pUp=1
Installed all the optional stuff as well. Cleaned up all dirty files, fixed all errors that loot read. There is 0 errors. Load order seems optimal.

Trying to load or start a new game. Skyrim crashes to desktop.

Spent more hours on how to fix, I could not find anything. please help?

This could be 100 different things but I will give it a shot. I have uninstalled and installed realvision enb and all the mods several times but I have never had it crash when I tried to load something usually it crashes in game or on startup so im not too sure what would cause this but I can make a few guesses.

1) Did you have the correct skyrim.ini and skyrimperfs.ini settings?

2) Are you using the SKSE launcher? Do not use the normal skyrim launcher.

3) Do you see the enb series watermark in the corner of your screen when you launch skyrim?

4) have you tried creating a merged patch?

5) Did you reset archive invalidation in nexus mod manager?

1. I don't know if there was correct settings for those two files, I didn't find any requirements on those.

2. Yes

3. Yes, Top left.

4. Not sure what that is.

5. No.

Maybe I messed up by overwriting some files? "And let always overwrite if NMM asks! (say NO to update and YES to install normally)"
These directions are not really clear to me.
I just know for SIMM I DON'T overwrite but over everything else I did.

Is it possible to just download a version of skyrim with all this pre-installed?
Am I missing out on anything If I just skip the optionals?

Here are the ini files, replace the ones in C:\Users\your user name\Documents\My Games\skyrim with these: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/59373/?tab=2&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D59373&pUp=1

To reset archive invalidation just open nexus mod manager and click on the wrench icon on the top and choose rest archive invalidation you should do this everytime you install a new mod and are abt to launch skyrim.

You could have but I doubt it would cause a crash usually that would just cause a mod to not work or not work properly. Yes always say no when it asks to update and most of the time you will say yes to overwrite unless instructed not to by the mod author.

It will be soon nexus mod manager is adding a feature that allows the installation of pre construed load orders so basically you will be able to download realvision and all the mods they reccomend with a click of a button but that feature is not here yet.

Hey, thank you SO much for helping me, I stood up all night for about 9 hours trying things. I want to go outside.... I just Dled the INIs and placed them in the folder. Now I'll be back a bit later to report back. THANK YOU AGAIN for helping.

Okay, I must have had installed the mods INCORRECTLY. When NMM asked to overwrite I just clicked "Yes for all" Because I assumed, "And let always overwrite if NMM asks! (say NO to update and YES to install normally)" Meant to say yes for all. But I now know better, I'll read every description for every mod on the right of NMM. The only mod I saw that required overwriting was SIMM.

Just to confirm! I shall delete ALL my mods. Uninstall skyrim. Un subscribe to all mods via steam.
Start over, and when I go down this list in ENB for the optional's I shall do what?
Say "No to mod" ? "No" ? or "No to all" (Unless specified by author).

I'll have to find what exactly the 6 options are when NMM asks to overwrite. Because the above directions for the ENB is very un-clear.

Say yes to overwrite on everything. Except for the ENB patches which are "skyrim_Particle_Patch_for_ENB-All-In-One" and "Skyrim_Subsurface_Scattering_Patch_for_ENB" these will ask to overwrite SMIM say NO.

And always say no if it asks to update anything. What mods are you getting on steam workshop? I just use nexusmods.com and download everything to nexus mod manager to keep everything as simple as possible and in one place.

I have quite a few mods from the workshop. But I'am going to take note of them all and un-subscribe from them. It won't matter then what mods I had.

I'am just going to uninstall and delete everything and install skyrim. Starting from scratch should work.

So "Overwrite" and "Update" are two different things. Say No for update.
And I'll say just "Yes" for everything else except the two patches.
I think I pretty much got it.

Exactly, make sure you say no to the update that is most important, the update function doesn't work properly and it can screw up the mod.

Well, i'm going to start installing everything. I should be done tomorrow. Wish me luck. I'll report back when i'm done.
