[MODDED] Fallout 3 Won't Reach Main Menu

[MitchiMitchy]

Okay, so i'm sitting with a problem here.... I've been searching on google for solutions, but none of them are working for me. I've got like 175 plugins active on Fallout 3 GOTY, and i can't reach the main menu,and the game just closes automatically.

 

This is my load order. I would really appreciate it if one of you could help me out of this.

The game cannot handle more than 125-130 active .esm/.esp files in the load order.

 

You should not try to start a new game with ant mods active. You will crash at the birth scene. You should play through the tutorial until you get to the exit tunnel, then make a save. Exit the tunnel to the wasteland and make another save. Now you can add your mods.

 

However, you should start and play the game with NO mods to ensure that the game will run on your rig.

aye, thanks man, will try to disable the mods

[MitchiMitchy]

Well.... i've managed to cut my mods down to 140, but still, when i try to start the game, it shows a little bit of the title screen, and then BOOM, gone......

I don't know what to do now.

[HeyYou]

That's a missing master crash. One of the mods you are trying to run needs some other mod, in order to work. The 'other' mod isn't installed, so, the game chokes and dies. :) Did you use a mod manager to install your mods? Or did you install them manually?

[M48A5]

The game cannot handle more than 125-130 active .esm/.esp files in the load order.

 

From the looks of the load list (it is no where a load order), you used LOOT to sort your mods.

 

Mods with multiple plugins should be in the same order as the base game.

 

READ your load order and start removing the conflicting ones.

 

I would suggest you get the Blackened compatibility patches, but you must read and understand the instructions or the game will crash.

 

You also need to go back to the mod pages and read the instructions there.

 

As an example, all the plugins for FWE are completely in the wrong order.

 

Is the game installed in "Program Files"? If it is, it will have to be reinstalled in a location outside of Program Files.

 

Do you have FOSE?, Large Address Aware Enabler? Fallout Stutter Remover? New Vegas Anti-Crash?
