Crash ingame "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION"

In the default Breezome house, I am at the forge, then I give equipment to my follower and I click on a piece of furniture in the house, a crash appears.

I come back in the game, this time I remained motionless approximately 5 minutes, and the game crashed without me performing any action.

My game has a lot of mods, because I installed a collection of 3000 mods.

I cant get into Castle Volkihar for the quest 'Bloodline'

i have tried every glitch way to get in and none worked, my only other option would be to try loading a save from before i discovered the castle. except one of the first things i did was discover the castle, and id rather not lose all my progress. is reloading all the way back the only way to solve the issue?

Não consigo nadar

If the English is strange it's because I'm using the translator.

Please, can anyone help me. My character is walking on water, even without a potion, internal effect, or any of those things

No Signal on new monitor when loading up through skse

So I just installed a new crua 27 inch 1440p monitor and I’m loving it, however when loading up Skyrim through skse on vortex the monitor tells me no signal and if I turn it off and back on it plays Skyrim like normal. It’s a small but annoying inconvenience. I went to Bethini and its resolution is on 1440p I also deleted the skyrim prefs folder and ini inside the steamapps/common/skyrim se. Any idea what could be causing it ? I have a Radeon 6750xt 12 gb with a 5 5600 do i don’t think it’s the specs and everything is connected well.

Thieves Guild Radiant Quests not popping up.

So I have been playing the Gate to Sovengarde modpack, and on my first few characters the thieves guild worked fine, but on my newest one the radiant quests either don't pop up when I accept them or they pop up after about 2 in game days. I've seen some posts saying the special quests can be glitches with the USSEP, but nothing on the radiant ones. Any help would be appreciated.

Speaking with silence bugged

After I complete scoundrels folly, Mercer doesn't give me the next quest. I've reloaded the game countless times and it still won't work. I play on console so I can't use commands. What do I do?

How to reload previous quicksaves?

So basically I did a proper save before starting the civil war questline. I got to the Haarlmarch liberation quest but then reloaded to my previous save. I then made quicksaves/autosaves which overwritten the previous quicksaves from when I had done part of the civil war. Just wondering if there was any way to get these quicksaves back so I don't have to do all these quests again. Sorry if worded badly. Basically just need to reload quicksaves that aren't showing on the load menu anymore. Also I know upto liberate Hjaarlmarch is only a few quests but I did other stuff in between and don't want to have to do that again.

Restoring Order's annoying bug

Hello! I'm new to this sub (but I'm not necessarily new to TES games/lore). I've been having a little problem with the "Restoring Order" quest. I need to find the "conjurer's lair", and as I searched deeper into it, i have to go down the Solitude sewers (but i can't have access to them yet). So before doing that, i have to talk to some Khajiit somewhere (i don't remember his name, sorry) - i looked for him EVERYWHERE POSSIBLE!!! In Whiterun stables, outside Windhelm, outside Markarth... Idk what to do! There's no marker showing me what to do/where to go!!! Any advice? Any help? Please and thank you!

My dragonborn is tilted to the left when she is walking.

She is upright while in an idle or running, but tilted left when walking. It looks like it only is happening to my character. She is tilted over maybe 10 degrees from verticle. It is very noticeable. Has ahyone else ever encountered something like that?

( SE 1.5.97) FPS spike after waiting in the game menu for 1 minute

So this just happened to me. Opened MCM menu to mess around with some stuff then back to the game and I'm getting 60fps for a good while before it returned back to my useall 30-45fps range ( hey I didnt know I'd enjoy 2160p so much )
This seems to happen everytime I spend a minute in the menu and return backt to the game. I'd like to know whats going on here if anyone can provide some input. If it manages to hold it at 60fps like this then I wonder why it doesnt always hold at 60 when it clearly is capable of doing so like this.
Any insights so I understand this? I do have a fairly large amount of mods installed. I'm on PC btw 1.5.97 SE

Can't talk to ulfric to complete a quest.

So i just did the battle of whiterun and finished up the fight, and was told to go back to ulfric to report to him. Quest marker is over his head and everything and the whiterun city marker is gone too. I go to talk to him and the dialog option doesn't show up, i can only ask about how the war is going and about the fight with the high king. I can't find the console commands to progress the quest past this point either, and i don't have a save from before this point. Any help would be much appreciated.

Waking nightmares won't work

I have drank the torpor and it transported me to the start of the sequence but now it won't let me move and nothing is happening. I already tried using the console commands to force the next step of the quest to register but still nothing. Has anyone ever had this happen? I redid the whole quest and it did the same thing.

Can't equip Gray Cowl of Nocturnal

As stated in the title I can't equip the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal. As far as I'm aware it is the only piece of headwear that I cannot equip. I am really confused because I can still equip it to mannequins and my follower.
