FO4Edit.exe needs to be in your Fallout folder. When you extract the the FO4Edit download, you need to extract it into the game folder. If FO4Edit is correctly installed, Vortex should see it and add it to the tools panel automatically. Also, you shouldn't really use the external version of LOOT. It won't see any of the rules you create in Vortex. Vortex already uses LOOT internally.

Question, have you used LOOT to sort your load order? Load Order issues can cause CTDs in some cases, so it might be worth the look. Other than that, I don't see anything that jumps out at me as a possible problem.

Having been in your shoes myself, I can completely empathize with you. That said, I have absolutely no regrets paying for a lifetime membership on this site and the no ads benefit wasn't even a top factor. To see that you are proactive in dealing with the scourge that bad ad networks foist on unsuspecting web site operators gives me absolute confidence in knowing that my purchase of a lifetime membership was worth every penny. Well done!

Nexus is my go to site for mods. Been a lifetime member for a while now and have never regretted that purchase! Ive scanned this thread looking for more information on the Community manager position. I have some experience in the field (Former CM for Kerbal Space Program) and was interested in getting some more details. Can someone point me in the right direction? Cheers! Skunky

Yeah, I am getting the feeling this playthrough is shot and I'll need to start over yet again. Ah well, another day of debugging and no playing. Cheers! Skunky

The INI edits are already in place, so that's not it. I've even tried setting the Affinity to two cores with no luck. Everything in my Steam folder and below is listed as an exception in my A/V. I'm using the fnv4gb patch, specifically the one for NVSE. I've not heard of the fake fullscreen trick, got any details or a link? I've tried selectively disabling mods to try and locate the culprit, but I've been unable to determine which mod does it. I'll go back and try again. The freezes are just so random that it takes a long time to realize whether or not it's fixed. I've tried to remove all the mods in an effort to load them up a few at a time but the saves won't load. I'll see about dismissing all companions and waiting 72 hours in a small world cell and trying again. I was wondering about the Canteen and Timescale mods. I'll try removing them as well. Should I be bulding bashed/merged patches for each test or just leave them off until I find the culprit? Thanks for the reply! Cheers! Skunky

I've run into a problem where my game is freezing requiring a task kill and even a reboot sometimes. I've gone through turning on and off various mods but the longest I manage to play before a freeze is about 30 min, sometimes as short as a second from loading. I've tried creating Merged Patches with FNVEdit as well as Bashed Patches with Wrye Bash, all to no avail. I was hoping someone might have some insight into which mod might be causing it or perhaps a certain combination of mods. I've just run out of options and seem to be getting deeper and deeper into the doo doo as I try to find the problem. Active Mod Files: The Personal Fixes mod just renames/reweights the skill mags in the NVEC Complete mod.
