CTD when loading a existing save
Hi guys, I’m having a repeatable crash-on-load issue with a heavily modded save and I’m trying to understand if this is a known mod/update problem or an unrecoverable save case. The game launches normally. When I click the save, the loading screen appears and then the game CTDs during loading. After that CTD, Skyve detects the corrupted files. Skyve reports no compatibility issues or missing dependencies, and the mods worked together previously. This started without me changing anything manually. Important details: the crash happens during save loading (not on game launch), Skyve only flags corruption after the CTD, verifying game files and reinstalling did not help, and the save was previously stable with the same playset. The saves are heavily modded. Mods appear compatible on paper and Skyve shows no warnings.

TL;DR: Save CTDs during loading, then Skyve marks it as corrupted. No Skyve conflicts, mods worked together before. I have already lost 3 saves to this issue I can start a city just fine, play it for hours but when I want to reload the save after quitting the game, CTD during loading of the save. If anyone knows a fix I would be very grateful, thx Thanks
