Ah well. Skyrim doesn't work on my machine. HD Patch Hearthfire Opethfeldt6 ENB and some music is all I have installed. The save may be corrupt or may not be, but this save is from way back after just getting to Whiterun. And I hadn't tried any of those other mods, so if it's breaking this early, I might pass on the whole game.
Plus it looks like everyone here has had their fill of Skyrim. Maybe I'll try sometime who knows. I've got nothing of consequence in terms of mods on here that could even potentially break it, (music, official textures, official dlc, rendering style), so I can't even fathom what Skyrim's problem is, which makes it really just a waste of time at this point
