So I crash every single time I try to enter the old watermill.

all other crashes seem random and do not repeat


any suggestions or alchemy to fix this are appreaciated.

the one in the Dark Valley, with that painter quest?

does that happen for some time now,
or are you standing in front of that house, only trying to get in now, because of that quest?

if the latter, try to load an earlier save and walk up to that house again.

could you upload a savegame?
found in ..\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves,
we'll need the skse and the ess of a manual (no quick- or auto-) save,
pack them to a rar or zip archive and attach them to a post here

I loaded the save, and I then made sure not a lot was going on, figured the less active things going on the better (no timed effects etc)

I saved a hard save not quick, turned computer off and on, made sure very little was running in background...


It worked!!

And yes it was for the quest. And first time there.

huh
well, good to know it works now
(for whatever reason)

if you didn't already, you could take a look at ENBoost,
that might help with the random crashing

Had the same problem. Only worked after turning off the game and waiting for a short while.

Edit: Crashed multiple times when I wanted to enter the 1st time for the quest, patch 1.2.2.0
