There isn't anything we can read from a crash report.&nbsp;
Do you have mods or CC in your Mods folder? If so, please do a "vanilla" test:&nbsp; Drag the Mods folder to the desktop and rename it, delete the file called localthumbcache, open the game to test, and exit without saving. This will let you know if a mod or CC item is your cause. If it is, see Mod &amp; CC Issues: START HERE
