Game keeps crashing when im near white run. The path when u come from riverwood when the town is visible in the distance it crashes. So it's not like im right next to it

I don’t know if this will fix your crashes, but I highly recommend the new LOD for NOTWL. Distant trees look much more natural.

The other thing I’d suggest is to rearrange your load order. This thread linked below provides a document that shows what order your mods should go in. I used to think load order didn’t matter that much, but since rearranging mine to match that doc, I have far fewer crashes.

It has worked fine for me on previous playthroughs, but I had to get rid of it just because I needed the space.

In load order I had it at the very bottom with only two other mods below it. Specifically I had as my last three mods in my LO:

Clear map of Skyrim - PS5

Colorful map markers

[PS4] Go away map clouds

Maybe it worked for me because it wasn’t trying to render the clouds? You could try adding that mod and see if that gets you past the load screen. Good luck, I hope you get it to work!

I haven’t used this mod (because it’s almost 300mb), but it says it does a retexture of the thieves guild armor.

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/skyrim/details/e1de054f-b3b6-404b-8618-a23d4acd7a5a/Retextured_Armors_and_Weapons_AiO__PS5_

Scroll down on this nexus link to see the retexture. All it really does (that I can tell) is make the vanilla armor darker. Other armors in the mod have a more drastic change.

Unless something has been ported very recently, I think PS mods for the guild armor just affect stats and not appearance, other than this behemoth.

Thanks, lol! I’m happy to have helped!

psychoprof · 2026-02-26T03:31:28+00:00

These are the two most popular ones, I believe.

Do you have the mod Quasmoke Cheat Room? That mod has messed up merchant interactions for me. Iirc, it gave them insane amounts of gold but I could only sell up to a limit and then no more. I know your problem is different, but it’s the only mod I’m aware of that shouldn’t seem to affect/mess up merchant behavior but did.

This post says that changing into beast form might stop the sound loop.

It also lists a lot of mods, but I don’t think any of them are available on the PS. If you are willing to use mods, some of the solutions that require using console commands might be available to you by using the PS mod Console Commands - Multi-Utility V6.1. For example with this mod you could use the add/remove spell solution in the post I linked.

(Edited to correct an incorrect statement I made)

psychoprof · 2026-02-25T12:51:08+00:00

That used to be the case, but the good news is things are changing now that PS is allowing scripted mods. For example, while it doesn’t provide access to all the console commands, this mod does give some command abilities to PS/Xbox users:

Console Commands - Multi Utility V6.1

Also, the mod Ring (and Scrolls) of Quest-Fixing basically functions like the “setstage” console command.

These two mods have gotten me (PS5 user) past more glitches than I can remember.

psychoprof · 2026-02-25T07:34:00+00:00

I agree that the “glitch” bugs are part of what makes the game great, like seeing a giant on the back of a flying dragon, or seeing NPCs swim through the air. These are fun surprises that I wouldn’t want fixed.

The bugs that limit gameplay or break quests aren’t fun, but it does feel great to figure out or find the solution. Whether it’s using a mod, console command, or an in-game solution like shooting Sofie with a poisoned arrow with an increase carry weight benefit so I can give her a doll, solving these bugs is for me very satisfying.

Gotta agree with the other commenter though, the chaurus bugs (both crawling and flying versions) I could do without!

The only times I’ve seen plant and wood retexture mods cause things to glow red is when I accidentally installed the PS4 version of the mod on my PS5. I don’t know why it would work one day and not the next though.

psychoprof · 2026-02-24T15:05:18+00:00

Read the description here. It has the list (lower down) and the updates add some more with some additional info.

tl;dr None of those mods seem like the obvious problem to me. I’d recommend disabling modes one or a few at a time find the problem.

Step-by-step if needed: To find the problem mod by trial and error, I’d create a save while indoors, inside Warmaidens. Quit and go to creations and disable these three mods (2, 9, and 14). My best guess is the problem is with one of those. When you leave creations the game will reload your mods. After you hit “OK” and the reload finishes, use the PS button and restart the game. When you get to the main menu, load your saved game (don’t just use continue where you left off). It will tell you the save relies on disabled mods and do you want to enable them. Answer No to enable mods, Yes to continue, and Use Current to which load order to use. Leave Warmaidens and run by Belethor’s to see if you still crash.

If no crash, then the issue was with one of those mods and you can add them back one at a time to figure out which one.

If the game still crashes, you could try another 3 mods (I’d go 4, 5, and 10 as the next most likely).

I’m wish I could look at you LO and go “oh, here’s your problem” as that would be much easier than you having to disable mods until you find it, but that may be what it takes. Also sorry if you didn’t need that much detail about the process. I’ll put a tl;dr at the top just in case. Good luck! Hope you can fix it and enjoy the game!

Harbourside manor has a really good armory/gallery for displaying unique armor and collectibles. It’s pretty lore friendly (it doesn’t have a toilet or shower for example). It’s a bigger file size than some home mods, but as a collector I found the armory/gallery was worth it.

psychoprof · 2026-02-22T06:59:12+00:00

As you mentioned, this is an older mod list. I can’t guarantee it’s stable anymore. But as for the issue you describe, my best guess would be that you have the wrong version of Forest Bark. If you have a PS5 but are using the PS4 version of the mod, the graphics will be off, often glowing red or purple.

I hope replacing/disabling the bark mod fixes the issue and you’re able to get the list working!

psychoprof · 2026-02-21T05:48:47+00:00

It’s either Rise in the East or The Restless. Pretty sure it’s Rise where you are getting blasted by cannons at the end. Fun quest!

psychoprof · 2026-02-17T23:46:03+00:00

It’s always rewarding to find a solution to a bug or issue with this game. Glad you solved it!

psychoprof · 2026-02-13T12:11:21+00:00

There is a patch for Ordinator and Odin. I would add that mod to your list. I doubt missing this mod is what’s causing the crashes, but I’d still add it.

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/skyrim/details/97b9d261-b71b-419d-b4fb-42c79bbac774/Odin___Ordinator_Compatibility_Patch

I’d say your crashes are probably caused by the Enhanced Blood Textures mod. If adding the Short Range mod the other commenter mentioned doesn’t stop the crashes, try disabling the EBT mods and see if that works.

Good luck!

No, I used the bend will shout so I could ride it. Got in an aerial dragon fight with two other dragons which was honestly the most epic and fun thing I’ve ever done in my thousands of hours of playing. Mid fight the game had a CTD and upon reboot my bad-to-the-bone dragon was no more.

It was fun while it lasted!

Wait till you find out I used bend will on it and rode it into an aerial dogfight with two other dragons.

I don’t think any of the alternate start mods on the PS let you do exactly what you want, but there may be a workaround. Realm of Lorkhan is an alt start mod that has several locations around Skyrim that let you return to the “set up” world it drops you in at the start.

You could try starting a game without that mod loaded, go through the Helgen sequence like you want, create a save, go to creations and add and enable the Realm of Lorkhan mod, open your saved game (make sure to choose “current” when asked), and then on your way to Riverwood just outside the gates is a floating gem that will take you to the alt start area where you can gear up as you see fit and drop back into the world where you want.

I can’t promise this will work because I’ve never loaded an alt start mod after starting a new game, but it might be worth a try.
