What happened was I tried adding "uGridsToLoad=11" under "[general]" in the Skyrim ini file. Then when I played the game I noticed that some of the textures didn't look quite right when viewed close up. I also read that adding that line to the ini file can destablize the game, so I deleted the "uGridsToLoad=11" line from my ini file and restarted the game. But from that point forward my saved games have always been crashing one second into the load screen, unless I add uGridsToLoad=11 back into my ini file.



Also when I start a new game it starts all wrong: All the characters , including myself, are STANDING around the OUTSIDE of the cart rather than SITTING INSIDE of the cart like they're supposed to be. The horses are behind the carts rather than in front. And the cart, the horses and all the people that are supposed to be SITTING IN the cart are stationary; not moving. <-- This is what happens AFTER I delete the "uGridsToLoad=11" line back out of the INI file. If I add the "uGridsToLoad=11" link back into the INI file, then the open scene works correctly again.



I would like to know how to fix this even if it involves wiping my whole Skyrim file history clean and starting new.



Did you delete your ini file and then restart the game to create a new default ini file?

Yes, I did that; several times. Didn't work. Doing that just causes the whole game stops working. Unless I add "uGridsToLoad=11" back under "[General]."




Did you uninstall and the reinstall the game?


Yes, I did that too. Again, several times. Nope, didn't work




Did you run a "verify integrity of game files" scan?

Yes. Yet again, several times. It always says "1 file failed to validate and will be reacquired" every time I run the scan no mater how many times I run it. The problem is still not fixed afterwards.



I have even tried deleting all Skyrim files from my computer, including both ini files before reinstalling the game. All of my saved games are deleted at this point. Nothing seems to be working!



You know what DOES make my game run (close to) properly again though? Adding the "uGridsToLoad=11" line back into my skyrim ini file. Now I'm stuck with that line in my ini file or else I can't play Skyrim. If I delete that line out of the ini file, thus reverting my ini file back to its defult, the game doesn't work. If I delete the whole ini file and have my game generate a new one upon restart, the new ini file will not contain the "uGridsToLoad=11" line and my game will crash unless I add that line back into my ini file under "[general]."



I would like to know how to make my game run properly again without having the "uGridsToLoad=11" line in my ini file. Even if it means wiping my whole Skyrim file history clean. As stated, I already deleted all my saved games in attempt to fix this problem so I am perfectly fine with starting over fresh with a new game.
