Clean save resources

This is a collection of clean vanilla saves from the start of the game I made for my own personal use.
You can use these to troubleshoot problems and mod conflicts.

The character is the default Nord male or female with nothing changed as you can always change this later.

Skyrim 1.8

They only use Skyrim.esm and Update.esm as their masters.
No DLC is loaded
No DLC High res Textures are loaded

The masters haven't been cleaned.
I suggest you clean your master files after using one of these saves using the latest version of TES5Edit.

Different genders will have different file names e.g. StartVanillaMale1.ess or StartVanillaFemale1.ess

I have picked the warrior stone on all save files after the standing stones.

Installation :

Pick which gender saves you want.

Put the file or files of choice inside your save game folder.

The default path is :

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\my games\skyrim\Saves

Open skyrim and load the save.

If you wish to safely change your race after loading a save file :

Open the console and type “showracemenu” without the quotes “”
Close the console and set your new race, gender and appearance set your name and finish character creation.
Save the game
Exit skyrim completely and then reopen and reload your save.
Make another new save

Regarding the showracemenu command :

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Console

Using this command to alter one's race will reset skills and health/magicka/stamina to default levels. This command can be safely used to alter a character's appearance without causing any unwanted side-effects as long as race is not changed. However, it should be noted that upon completing your changes and choosing a name for your character, all temporary active effects (such as Gift of Charity or shrine blessings) will be removed. Racial resistances will no longer be listed in Active Effects until the game is loaded from the main menu, at which time racial resistances will be automatically reapplied. Permanent active effects such as those from guardian stones or perks will not be lost. Active effects granted from enchanted items will not be listed until the items are re-equipped. 

If you have crashes on the racemenu then it's normally related to too many highpoly items such as apachii skyhairs. You can safely edit apachii's mod using this method :

If you wish to start at a higher level or wish to customize your character using batch files I suggest using this skyrim character modifier :
