#incompatible mod

DLCs: All

Specific Mod Issue: N/A

Brief Summary of Issue: Game freezing when opening the inventory, buying or selling at merchants or accessing storage.  Bug started after obtaining the Ardent Blossom.

Troubleshooting performed so far: Removed all mods and created an empty merged folder.  Game worked fine.  Removed all mods affecting the Ardent Blossom and game continued to crash on the inventory.

Word of Mod Note: This does sound like an incompatible mod, but it does seem as if you simply haven’t tracked down which one yet. Sometimes which mod could cause the problem isn’t obvious.

The Word of Mod would recommend troubleshooting your mods. Install them in small bunches (say, 5 at a time), and see which ‘bunches’ cause the game to freeze as you describe. Then, once you know which ‘bunches’ are causing the issue, you can narrow it down from there and figure out precisely which mod is causing the issue. The answer might surprise you, as sometimes seemingly innocuous mods have ended up causing the oddest of problems. Sometimes it is even COMBINATIONS of mods which cause problems, and not the mod itself.
