Initial release
Attention: This mod is no longer being supported or updated.
This mod has been uploaded by "The Care Taker" at the request of its owner. The Care Taker account is run by Nexus Mods for the purpose of hosting mods created by authors who are no longer active in the community.
If you are a mod author and would like to learn more about this service or have questions, you can find details regarding The Care Taker HERE.
I am considering the latest release of this as final and won't be offering support or making future updates to this mod. I sincerely hope this never needs to be ported over to Skyrim Special Edition since the newer engine should get rid of many stability issues that the original Skyrim engine has.
Compatible with Enderal
What Is This?
If you play Skyrim with lots of mods you probably experience regular crashing when loading a save game from the main menu. Originally the only ways to get around this reliably were the following methods:
Open the console and enter the command "coc qasmoke" to move into the qasmoke cell and manually load a save game there.
Keep around a save game that has been saved at a "safe" location that you load first and then manually load your desired save game after the safe one has been loaded.
Use an alternate start mod to quickly start a new game and then load a save game after the new game has started.
All of these methods are rather cumbersome and time consuming when all you want to do is jump back into the last point you saved your game at. This mod makes some tweaks so that when you click on CONTINUE or LOAD in the main menu it will load your save game in an alternative manner that should prevent crashing when loading save games without the complexity of those other methods.
This mod is not guaranteed to work 100% of the time as it is trying to work around bugs that exist in Skyrim. If this does not work for you then there are likely other mods causing problems that you will need to take some time to diagnose. It is difficult to make this work for every computer with every possible combination of mods.
If you do not experience crashing when loading save games, there is no reason to install this mod as it will simply waste a slot in your load order. I highly recommend you try using Crash Fixes before attempting to use this mod as it contains various fixes to prevent crashing that this mod does not work around. You may also want to follow the Stability Performance Optimization ENB Configuration guide to try and resolve any stability issues you may have. This mod should only be used when all other options have been exhausted.
Permission
You can feel free to make translations, upload this to other sites, and generally share this with anyone you like without asking for permission so long as you don't try and make any money from this mod. I only ask that you make sure to give me credit for this work. You do not have permission to port this to Special Edition as this relies heavily on SKSE and I don't want to deal with complaints people may make about this not working due to the differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of SKSE that someone else did not compensate for. You also do not have permission to use any part of this mod in your own mods without asking for permission first.
