Experimenting with every spot in skyrim I can reach.
Ive got water for Enb, tomatos landscapes aio, and tomatos coast.
But these water seams are just atrocious.
The waters look great at riverwood or whiterun but uo north.... These seams are setting myocd off.
Any recommendations for beautiful water mods that wont do.... This?
I thank u/OOAKss for bringing it to attention.
Campfire - Complete Camping System adds an item called Linen Travel Cloak to the tanning menu --> Where you craft leathers and leather strips.
We found that if you craft the item, it's fine initially.
But when you EQUIP it-- the game crashes.
Now I tested it first. I managed to craft it, and equip it without issue.
But! Having learned my lesson from Enhanced Blood Textures, the first instance doesn't always reveal the issue. So I exited the game, reloaded and tried again-- lo and behold. Crash.
I checked if I had any mod or patch tying to Campfire that could cause it but found. And none.
Just wanted to bring awareness to it.
If im missing something please let me know.

Hello everyone, as requested I am providing my current-stable-up-to-date LO in this post.
I am currently running less than 305 mods now from my previous 330, and I do not have any town or city changing mods like JKs, TGC, or COTN.
Instead I make my cities and towns beautiful by snmall mods that make world edits and awesome textures.
Once again, credit where credit is due. --> I will give thanks to u/Brxsie who posted his Load Order template back in r/skyrimmodsxbox so very long ago.
I have since made significant alterations which have only promoted the game's stability for me.
If you want to see his explanation and load order --> you can go here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SkyrimModsXbox/comments/hxbgu5/logical_load_order_an_indepth_explanation/
This time, I will provide every one of my mods in this Load Order.
**Note: Except for maybe one or two mods, all are PS5--
**Note: There are mods that will appear at the top that normally woudl be further down. These are MODS tagged as master files, and move up automatically when downloaded.--
**Note: If there are versions of the same mod uploaded by more than one porter, use your discretion as to which you want to use.
================================================================
A. --Master Files
and
B. Foundations-- (Core mod game patches, Master Files, foundation mods that add or change gameplay, and ESM master files.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Reforging - To The Masses.
- Water for the ENB - Master File.

- Lux- Resources - PS5
- Lux - Master
- Lux - Orbis - Master

- Nordic UI (skyui)
- Kontrol - PS5
- Improve Third Person
- Cyan49S Another Third Person Camera Mod.
- Dialogue Interface Reshaped
D. --Quest Alterations--:
----------------------------
So here goes anything that makes any change or adds to, or modifies any major vanilla quest.
Remember, the order of the mods top to bottom is very important.
*note: as the only way I can comprehensively view all my mods is in the offine mode.
*Some mod names are incomplete so I will just indicate it from what I remember it to be.
- JaySerpa's Quest Expansion
- Partysnax
- Jayserpa's Lines Expansion

- Ordinator
- Ordinator - Fix - PS5
- Odin
- Odin - Ordinator Patch (very important if using both)
- Summermyst
F. --Game Mechanics--
-----------------------------
For example: Growl, Sancrosanct. etc.
Mods that change specific in-game mechanics.
- Sacrosanct
- Growl
- Cursed _ death alternative For Growl. (for werewolf characters. if you die, you force transform into a werewolf)
- Sekiro Combat - KittyTail -- I moved this higher as I felt it needed to be closer to the top.
- Wider Block Angke
G. --Pure Craftables--:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is where your purely craftable items go.
And I dont mean crafting CBBE or UNP armors, or weapons placed in the world that you can craft..
I mean, items that you can only craft directly.
*Note: XTUDO's armors can be placed in craftables.
But, if they specify CBBE or UNP, that has its own category.
If its found in the world space-- that goes lower in its own categoy.
I personally keep them close to my retextures category,
- BattleScythes
- Wearable Elf Ears
- Ultimate Assortment
- Nirn Necessities - PS5
- Simple Wearable Lanterns
- Dwarven Knight Armor - Xtudo
H. --Item and Loot Leveled Lists--:
and
I. --AI Behvior, Enemy NPC Leveled Lists--:

I combined both in one list as they are hardly separate from each other in my load order.
Anything that alters NPC behavior goes here.
As well, as items added to the game that are distributed via levelled lists - Magic spells, or consumables, or weapons.
Then Non-vanilla creatures.
*note: Mihail Zombies and Draugr Patrols crashes my game. So be warned about that.

- The Standing Sound Stones
- LeoMaximus Revoiced NPCs
- Japanese Player Voice
K. - Skeleton --Idles and Animations--:

- SQ Female Movemen ------> I like this one as it feels weighty.

- Simple Actions SE 4.0
L. --Skin Mesh and Textures, Skeleton--:
-----------------------------------------------------
Next are your character creator beauty mods.
The load order of your body meshes, and skin textures matters... alot.
So here's how mine looks:
*Note: I've switched over to UNP/
*Note: for the love of-- never use the Diamond Skin mod. GAME killer. not kidding.
1.) (PS4/Ps5) Character Editor -
2.) UNP Female Body Renewal 4.6
3.) UNP - Reverie Skin

2.) Origins of Forest.
3.) No Grassias (Ultimate)
4.) High Quality IVY replacer
5.) Dirt Cliffs Enhancement
6.) Hanging Moss to HQ IVY

- NAT III - Natural And Atmospheric Tamriel -- uploaded by ArmedwithWings
- NAT III - Brightness Consistency Patch
- PS5 DRAGONS CHANGE WEATHER ---> YES!!! I HAVE IT UNDER WEATHER MODS! always keep it below your weather mods.
Q. -- Weapons and Armor Retextures
------------------------------------------
(Anomalous placement) - XTUDO HD Skyrim - AIO - No Flora. == this might seem out of place to you, but I had to adjust this placement to compensate for other mods that add multiple things and I dont want anything by this overwritten.
Actual Weapon Retextures
- Retextured Weappns SE - Core --> xavbio
- Retextures Weapons SE- Remnant --> Xavbio
- Real Bows PS5
*Note: if you are going to use replacers, for armors. it goes here.
*Note: Replacers for armors need to be placed beneath the Armor Retextures.
*Note: With that logic, I kept XTUDO's armors here-- because I use their replacer patches also.
--- and while I am sure Xtudo's armors are not affected by retexture mods, i feel more comfortable having them here.
--- But I believe you can place them under craftables if you want.

T. -- EFFECTS, Magic or World --
--------------------------------------
(Anomalous Placement) - Flora Atmoshpere and Visual FX AIO 1k mod ----> THIS ONE MOD! caused the unusual placements.
**The above mod contains both effects VFX, plants and floral replacers, and some world item retextures.
**Ugh calculating the placement of this was a pain.
(Anomalous Placement) - Vibrant Flora and Plants (High Quality) ---> had to move it lower so that Flora Atmosphere and Visual FX didnt overwrite it.
*Because the above mode includes kittytails VFX, i had to place it high in effects because I already have V4 of kittytails effects.
- KittleTails VFX Edits AIO v4 (it does not have light magic)
- KittyTails Light Magic FX

- Kittytails-piercing expert magic spells --> spell mod, but it has to go below kittytails vfx.

================================================================
This LO took a while to WRITE down hahaha!
But it was worth it. I have not experienced any major repetitive crashes for this, outside of certain mods I may have pointed out above-- which I have since removed.
I do not experience crashes with dragon combat.
No Western Watch Tower Crashes either.
So far this build is really stable despite being stacked.
HOWEVER--- space, is consumed. alot.
And I will be making edits to this once Ashe Crystal Heart Arrives -- because thats not a small mod.
I hope this LO helps!!!!
And for those who asked for this, Thank You for your patience!!!!
I want to give props to omgdeadelf who has been working for days, non-stop putting this mod together. I've been watching them upload, edit, update, then re-upload what began as a plugin for Azurite Weathers that gave skyrim a Silent Hill like atmosphere. Now, they've taken it and and they've made it stand alone.
I am personally awaiting the complete version of this weather and atmosphere mod and I am excited for it to be complete, and I praise omgdeadelf for working as hard at they have, toiling to make it match their vision.
If you read this, know that as a fellow Silent Hill fan, I am very excited for this atmosphere mod!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
** Final Update (for now) - Update 3**
Current Load Order: --> Working And Stable
So alot of extensive testing and application of the process of elimination had helped identify these mods as the most stable thus far.
Mods that had issues and/or caused crashing:
I have also tried StarPratt's Tyrant and the Lickers, and Defective Synth mods and those have worked splendidly.
However, so did Nemesis -- until it didn't, so I've made the decision to avoid them for now.
At present ZPS Fauna 2 AIO is an excellent creature retexture.
I intend to test more mods as I get the chance, but given the minimalistic load order I have above, and with the one's I've listed crashing the game -- I'm taking it slow and thorough.
Thanks to everyone for helping me sort this out!
*******************************************
*******************************************
**Update2. **
enoos weapon mods, Malyuk and MK18 are stable. Just follow what it says in the mod description, like dont drop the gun or mount on a weapon mount and everything just works (right Todd?)
Went to the same places and entered into combat. Swan's Pond, Hallucigen, Good Neighbor then outside Good Neighbor. All good no problems. These mods are larger but I think that makes them worth it. And the MK18 lets you choose if the item will be added to a level list or not- for now I've been saying no. But Backpacks of the Commonwealth, which I also have but not have had issues with-- i just leave that at default. Gonna check for another handgun mod I can try... And then, hoping--- I'll see about monster and creatures.
**Update1. **
I have identified that my issues stemmed from Absterge's Munitions, and weapons to start.
And when I removed those mods, I did not have issues accessing swans pond or outside of goodneighbor or other spots in boston.
I then tried a different weapon mod, SIG Sauer P320 - M17 from hornethugger. And I did not have any issues, accessing those places, but I could not exit the chem bench after crafting the weapon,
I am now trying to fairly large mods from enoos.
Malyuk
MK18 CQBR + 1000 Year Empire.
- I've read both descriptions and there are distinct identifiers to follow to avoid issues.
The goal of this post has now become, identifying which weapon mod is stable enough to work with what I've got.
**
Hi Guys, im trying to figure out what mods are causing boston to crash, and as previously advised, i've avoided any monster, creature or faction addition.
So at first, all I had was the UFO4P and Alternate start, and cheat terminal. then teleported to swans pond. It loaded fine.
In a new save, I added sound. NAC X. CBBE, and CBBE outfits, Munitions and its associated weapons and ZPS FAUN AIO-(its a retexture), True Grass, Asphalt and Puddles and two other mods that retecture the landscape. just retexture not change mesh.
I'd like to ask, by process of elimination what should I cut out?
This was requested by u/TheJasonater0001 when they had asked me how I had made my character.
This video, that should have been shorter, demonstrates how I put my characters together, using the following mods:
1.) [PS4/PS5] Character Editor - All In One Customization Pack by Julihah
2.) Caliente's Beautiful Bodies
3.) PS5 the Pure skin CBBE - (use any supporting skin texture.) DO NOT USE DIAMOND SKIN, IT KILLS YOUR GAME.
4.) (PS4/5) RAN46's Head Mesh Variants - Type C
5.) KS hairdos - (your choice)
6.) Vivid Eyes
7.) Improved Eye Reflections and Cubemap - PS5
8.) Koralina's freckles.
9.) (PS5) HD Vanilla Eyeliner By Xtudo
10.) Jr's Eyebrows
11.) Waifu Expression Redux
12.) FemFeet Redesigned
13.) HN66's Hands and Nails
14.) DETAIL MAP SEAM FIX -- > VERY IMPORTANT FOR NECK SEAMS.
-- RAN46's head mesh is the closest we'll get to a poly head.
Note. Im tried NOT SO POLY HEAD and it crashes the game when you switch genders.
So be warned.
Thanks again guys!
Hello everyone, I know my reddit presence is nil but I am reaching out today to share my load order template. I am currently running 320 mods now-- down 10 after i removed JK's and its been stable since I've started.
The template I will share is one that has continued to work for me even to this day, from my time modding since skyrim XBOX. I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me.
I will give thanks to u/Brxsie who posted his Load Order template back in r/skyrimmodsxbox so very long ago. I have since made significant alterations which have only promoted the game's stability for me.
If you want to see his explanation and load order --> you can go here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SkyrimModsXbox/comments/hxbgu5/logical_load_order_an_indepth_explanation/
note: If an SWF version of something exists, I go for that.
- (SWF means Simple WorkAround Framework.)
A. --Master Files--:
-------------------------
- This will contain your main patches. USSEP, Reconciliation patches, or major game bug fixes.
B. --Foundations--:
------------------------
- This will be the main cream of the crop overhauls, like Campfire or HunterBorn or Frost Fall.
- Things that change the core gameplay or Add to it in a major way that affects large areas and spaces.
- You will also notice that many major mods (or some not even major) may automatically move and place themselves up here. That's fine. The mod is up here as it's being loaded like a master file. Lanterns of Skyrim II comes up here automatically as well.
C. --Menus, User Interface, Font Changes--:
-------------------------------------------------
- So this is a given. Exactly as the title says. But note the order of the mods in the list, in case you want to overwrite -- or not overwrite something.
- I personally also fit Kontrol here and Third Persona camera tweaks.
D. --Quest Alterations--:
----------------------------
- So here goes anything that makes any change to any major vanilla quest.
- For example: Serana Dialogue Add-On
- Or: Jayserpa's Quest Bundle
- If the the quest was in the game, and the mod tweaks it in a huge way, it will go here.
- I've placed alot of civil war dialogue mods here.
- I placed my Party Snacks here, below the JaySerpa mod expansion.
E. --Pure Craftables--:
----------------------------
- Here is where your purely craftable items go.
- And I dont mean crafting CBBE or UNP armors, or weapons placed in the world that you can craft..
- I mean, items that you can only craft directly.
F. --Game Mechanics--
-----------------------------
- For example: Growl, Sancrosanct. etc.
- Mods that change specific in-game mechanics,
G. --Perk Overhauls and Magic Additions and Overhauls--:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- So here goes things like Ordinator, Odin, Apocalypse. etc etc.
- Note the order of thee mods btw. Ordinator combine with odin, or apocalypse or Mysticism, have a specific order in order to function correctly.
H. --Item and Loot Leveled Lists--:
--------------------------------------------
- items that get added to the game, organically and through levelled lists go here.
I. --AI Behvior, Enemy NPC Leveled Lists--:
-----------------------------------------------------
- This one is fun. For example, Haugbui, for the Draugr behavior and variance placement.
- Haugbui changes draugr behavior and even puts in unique named draugr bosses at random places.
- 4thUnknowns Creatures or Mihail's monster and beasts go here too.
- New monsters that are inserted into the game, go into this category.
- Anything that changes NPC behavior is also placed here.
J. -Audio--:
--------------
- This one is obvious. SFX changes.
- OST replacers.
- Player voices.
- Combat and Magic Audio-FX go here.
K. - Skeleton --Idles and Animations--:
-------------------------------------------------
- This is where I began to deviate from my Xbox load order.
- Originally, category K was for weather. But not anymore.
- This is for the skeleton and animations.
-You start this load order category with XP32.
- Then your animations.
- Or if you use GDB, make GDB the second thing after XP32, and then add the rest.
- Idles. run animations.
- If you know how to incorporate other weapon animations, you place it down here too.
- Personally, I keep VIOLENS in this list at all times.
L. --Skin Mesh and Textures, Skeleton--:
-----------------------------------------------------
- Next are your character creator beauty mods.
- the load order of your body meshes, and skin textures matters... alot.
- So here's how mine looks:
1.) (PS4/Ps5) Character Editor -
2.) Caliente's Beautiful Bodies
3.) PS5 the Pure CBBE - (use any supporting skin texture.)
(ADDITONAL note: DO NOT USE DIAMOND SKIN- IT WILL CRASH THE GAME - COMPLETELY)
4.) (PS4/5) Ran46's Head Mesh
5.) KS Hairdos

Q. -- Weapons and Armor Retextures

- Once again, just as the title says. Retextures of what already exists.
- Mine starts of with Xavbio's 1K Base + DLC
- Then Kanjs weapons.
- Xtudo's replacer armors. etc etc
R. -- Creature Replacers/ Retextures --
-------------------------------------------
- So what retextures, or replaces what already exists-- goes here.
- For example: Bears of the North, Canidae- wolf replacer, or Felidae, Saber cat replacer etc etc etc.
-- If you are adding something new, like a new creature then go back to category "i".
- Fun fact. since I am using DRAGONS 2K. I placed the mod ""Dreadful Alduin"" directly beneath it.
- Dreadful Alduin does change Alduin's combat and flow. But at the same time, it's specific to Aldun alone.
- Just wanted to pointed that out in case anyone wonders.
- Additional note: Vampire Lord and Werewolf Retextures go here also.
S. -- NPC Replacers --

- Bijin AIO (Which is not on playstation yet)
- Pandorables, go here.
- True blood serana goes to the bottom in case your replacer has its own serana.

3.) KittyTails - ENB hands, so that your hands glow with the spell
4.) Immersive spell light, so that the spells in your hand act as a light source.

- Any mod that adds an item in the world for you to pick up or find, goes here.
- For example: Ivory Bow - placed in Sky Haven Temple.
V. -- Single World Area Edits -- -> (Now this is the part where it gets confusing. )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- So mods that make changes or add things to a single or minimal world cells go here.
- Like say, player homes.
-- Etc. This part is vague for me, as I have personally had to gauge what exactly constitutes single world vs Multi- World Edits.
W.) -- Multi World Area Edits --

- I use Water for ENB
ZZ. -- Lighting --
------------------------
- I use LUX. all of LUX.
- Orbis, Lux, Via. All its resources and master files go ALLLL THE WAY TO THE TOP!

Lux Patches with (insert mod here). All go here at the very end.
That's about it folks!
Does this guarantee your game wont crash? - I can't ever promise that. Mods do the crashing, this is just the order of how I got things to work more efficiently.
I will state that the only major crashes I've had, were with bad load orders or broken mods. Often broken mods.
Take note: Sometimes, it is best to start over! If something doesn't work.
Never be shy against purging your console of all saves or reserved space, or reinstalling the game and starting over.
Sometimes, it's the best way to get load orders working perfectly..
Having said that -- DO NOT DOWNLOAD DIAMOND SKIN!!!! IT WILL CRASH THE GAME AND YOU WILL NEED TO UNINSTALL AND REINSTALL TO FIX IT!!!
That is all!
Thanks everyone!!!
So testing the stabikity of my load order. Add guns, add world lighting and textures? Great! Add new outfits, sure! Add monsters... What can go wrong?
