And in fact, since I'm NOT having any issues I shouldn't think about starting over from scratch. But I am - because my game's stable. However, it's been stable forever - and probably that's asking for trouble.... I don't mean reinstalling Skyrim from disk etc. I mean deleting all the mods, archiving the save games, deleting the %appdate% folder, uninstalling NMM and reinstalling a fresh copy of 0.61.23.... then putting all the mods back....

Before I do that though, I'll archive the ENTIRE install folder to an external drive.... just in case.

Yeah, I have found even on console, that if you wipe everything and try to recreate a copy of the previously successful load...it can still fail !

Starting to wonder if Neil shouldn't just start over from scratch... :(
Actually, that's essentially what I've done. I didn't reinstall SSE, but I did uninstall and remove almost all of the mods I had. I've been adding them back in, but avoiding the mods that gave me grief the first time around.

Venetus sat quietly reading a journal. The chair recently vacated by the bandit chief Hajvarr Iron-Hand. He closed Hajvarr's journal with a snap and a glint in his eye of satisfaction. He'd rid Whiterun Hold of a group of bandits that had been terrorizing them for quite some time now. There'd been no official bounty, but once the two bandits outside the cave attacked him without provocation, Venetus decided to make it his personal mission to put an end to their thuggery!

Three trips later he'd managed to cart a great deal of the crap the bandits had accumulated back to Whiterun for sale. The merchants paid a fair price and Venetus learned a trick or two at negotiating better prices. Laden down now with more ores and ingots he continued honing his smithing skills at Adrianne's forge. She'd been kind enough to let him use it when she wasn't busy herself. Quite often she was tanning hides or at the workbench while he smelted ores and produced various weapons and armors that he would later enchant for a better sale price.

Venetus reflected on the journey he'd made to Winterhold. A number of wolves, saber cats and a troll along the way, but the worst were those damnable ice wraiths. They moved uncannily out of range just as he would swing a blow. In the end it was the combination of flames and sword that did them in and provided him with their essence and their teeth. He'd have to make better resist potions for any future encounters.

Venetus sighed. The civil war continued in the background like a simmering pot waiting to boil. But for now he would need to continue to perfect his fighting skills and armor if he was going to survive what was coming.

Update for Sascha:

She is currently level 10 and sitting in the depths of BFB puzzling over the mysteries of the golden claw. Time played: 4hours 16minutes

So far she has survived Helgen with Ralof, wiped out a bandit camp on the way to riverwood, had a chat with gerdur, meddled in the local love triangle and got herself an elfen pack mule for her trouble. She ignored Camilla's directions and walked out of town straight back to Embershard mine and cleaned it out, returning to riverwood briefly to sell off all the loot then heading back out to Falkreath.

At Falkreath she gifted the Jarl an old bottle of Blackbriar mead found in a bear's lair on the way out of Helgen. This impressed him enough to send her on a clandestine mission to clear out some bandits the Jarl had previous dealings with. On return Sascha was offered a position as Thane of Falkreath as reward for helping out the Jarl and his people, but found herself a couple hundred septims shy of being able to purchase a plot of land. She took a bandit bounty for the group at bannermist tower and wiped them out as well as shriekwind bastion on the way to BFB via the western watchtower. Having just acquired the perk for bound weapons to cast soul trap she will now be able to start making more money by buying empty soul gems and selling them filled.

Ella Menthri is dead. Got stuck in a corner of a wall at Fort Hraggstad, and mobbed by three ugly thuglies. They took down her health too quick for me to apply potions.

She was level 13, and about 20 hours of play. I can post stats if it matters. I won't be restarting.

She was Thane of Whiterun (Breezehome), and Thane of Falkreath (small Lakeview house.) She had also done quests in Windhelm, Dawnstar, and Solitude.

This was a particularly risky challenge for an unarmored mage. She came close to death several times. I think if I had it to do over, I'd include Enchanting as a skill. I was just not lucky in finding useful enchanted non-armor items.

Good luck to everybody who remains!

Thank you Sah. I'm glad you like my channel, i wish i had more time to make the short version videos.
I started that channel because my 320 GB HDD was almost full, so i had to free up some space. I just didn't wanted to lose over 200 GB video files.

Sascha has died at level 12 and 6 hours 35 minutes

She was doing a pretty good job with everything she came across until she hit 5/6 wolves in rapid succession...followed by 2 large frostbite spiders and a bear while she was travelling across the rift. The bear would have been no problem had she not backed away from it and right into the end of a log....with no movement backwards and no time to side step or take a potion the bear got in one last hit and she was no more.

So far Sascha had managed to become thane of Falkreath, completing the favour quests and assisting 3 citizens and blazed her way through BFB before returning to Falkreath and purchasing the plot of land and making a start on her manor.

Not decided yet if i'll retry...33 hours should still be plenty of time to get things done, but I keep finding myself wrapped up in Fairy Tail rather than playing Skyrim of late and I don't want to be one who commits to the competition then never actually takes part lol
