YES!!! I GOT IT WORKING!!! I just unsubscribed EVERY... SINGLE... MOD... And I think the problem was Ultimate Follower Overhaul mod... That or something else like these weird mods I don't even remember... But it finally started... Now I will slowly but surely, re-install... Every... Stinkin'... Mod... sigh...

*So the other day, I was playing Skyrim as normal, just installed a bunch of mods and was testing them out and all went as planned... Well, I went back in to try and play it (didn't install any more mods before this) and it crashed on the main menu... I thought maybe I need to update my mods so I ran the normal launcher to update them (I use SKSE's launcher) and it still didn't work. I tried the vanilla launcher, I tried rebooting my computer, verifying game cache (in which it said a file is missing so it downloaded it) and it still didn't work. So I turned on the papyrus log thingy in the .ini, and this is what it said on my last attempt to start it.

[02/08/2013 - 02:44:03PM] Papyrus log opened (PC)
[02/08/2013 - 02:44:03PM] Update budget: 1.200000ms (Extra tasklet budget: 1.200000ms, Load screen budget: 500.000000ms)
[02/08/2013 - 02:44:03PM] Memory page: 128 (min) 512 (max) 76800 (max total)

Does anyone know what's wrong with it? It ran fine before, but now it won't... I hadn't installed any mods after the time it worked, and I even tried uninstalling a bunch... NOTHING works... Any ideas?*

what mods did you exactly installed?, some of them can crash the game unless you got a certain dlc

Well, I don't have any new DLC is the thing, nothing was added to my game except an update which someone said it added a high res texture pack so I disabled it in the launcher...

This is what I'm afraid of, I don't want to mess up any of my mods...

what do you mean? as long as you don't delete/remove them, you'd still have all the mods. just deactivate them before reinstalling the game.

Did you use the nexus mod manager to install the mods? If so, there is a bug that happens to me every once in a while when I use the nexus manager, it might be the same... try going to C:-Users-your username here-AppData-Local-Skyrim (AppData is a hidden directory) then open plugins.txt.
If on top of the list there are 2 skyrim, like

skyrim.esm
Skyrim.esm

delete the one that doesn't start with the capital letter.

Uhm I don't know then... try checking the other txt files in the folder, if there's not something like the thing I said I'm sorry but I don't know what the problem might be...

Have you tried to run it without ANY mod to see if it works?

I haven't tried without ANY mods because I have a ton of mods, it would take too long to get them all out and back in and whatnot... I did have the Skyrim.esm in my Data folder so I am reinstalling right now, if that doesn't work, I will uninstall all mods... I wonder in the Unofficial patches are causing it due to not being updated since Dragonborn? I doubt it... I'll wait for it to finish installing and post my results...

Go to Skyrim\Data and check if you have Skyrim.esm there. If you don't have, you won't be able to play game - validating files or even reinstall will be required.

I did have Skyrim.esm in my data folder AND in the load order list thing, I am reinstalling it to see if that works... Validatino files didn't do anything...

Hmm i had the same problem have you try to check if not a mod is confilcting <-(Or how it spells) with another mod? for example

Immersiv armors does not work with Omega99's armor complication i bet that that is the problem :) you can always send a privat letter to the makers and ask them if there is a conflict with any mods that you have installed :) i did that when i had problem whit iHud made by gopher :) it turnet out that Deadly Dragons conflicted my save file which made my game crash all the time :/ do that if you dont find any other solution on your problem they will happy help you (Or not) :)

Well the thing is, all of my mods worked fine together except for random crashes because my graphics card and processor suck at handling it, but they didn't cause any problems. Then, after I exited the game, I didn't install ANY new mods, no new DLC, no nothing. My game was exactly the same as it was when it worked. And when i ran it, it crashed at the menu... I'm not entirely sure it has to do with mods...

Deactivate your mods 1 by 1, testing Skyrim on each trial to check if there is a mod that is bugging out.
