How do I fix Skyrim CTD when saving?

I looked at some old threads and found multiple mentions of:

  1. Load an older save (as long as it doesn’t have CTD on save glitch)
  2. Create a NEW save (through pause menu)
  3. Type in player.kill.
  4. Load your latest save (the one that had CTD glitch)
  5. Type in player. kill.
  6. Try saving (I usually just use quicksave)

Is it safe to start Skyrim with SKSE?

Do NOT start it with SKSE (if you use it), as the game needs to rebuild the Skyrim.ini file. Let it detect your video hardware, then you can close the launcher and launch as usual with SKSE. This process will not change your SkyrimPrefs.ini file, so all your ENB settings and so on are safe.
