First post, hope it's in the right section, if not, let me know. Anyways, I'm currently trying to understand creating patches to make various mods play nice together. NMM and LOOT both consistently fail me, see following load order LOOT suggested, NMM endorsed it, lol. EVEN I can see that this order ain't gonna do nothing but CTD all day. Totally out of order. So I rearrange based on what I've learned from youtube, the nexus, and related sites. Still CTD, so I fire up FO4Edit, apply to show conflict losers, etc. BOLD and red are bad, correct? Orange is a conflict winner, I understand this. I've made patches before. Just not for Fallout 4, mind you. When creating the patch, I used the automated patch, and then begin the fun part of dragging records to the new patch. Now, if FO4Edit shows red before the patch, but the patch is orange text, is this correct? I activate it, fire up the game, play for about an hour, and CTD. What went wrong, how do I fix & ensure it doesn't happen again? Appreciate any and all help, suggestions, comments, guidance. The main mod at odds seem to be Project Overlord, followed by Spring Cleaning, Armor Keywords and Better settlers. I put PO as the last mod before my patch, as there are a few keyword/name changes made by it, and then follow that with my patch as final loaded. Is it better to combine certain mods with extra .esm files into ONE mod, to help narrow the conflicts? (Certain mods like True Storms, Arbitration, etc. I would like to combine into one, and I make sure there is no broken dependency if another mod needs a certain mod before it, or after.) LOOT & NMM Suggested order: (Can you say CTD?) Thanks for your help & time folks! Oh yeah, almost forgot. Specs: i7-975 w/ 32GB DDR4250GB SSD (drive game & OS are on)Win 7 x64Dual GTX 960 w/ 4GB.So no, not a hardware problem either. Not with 132 FPS in MechWarrior Online, and ~24% CPU load :smile: (What? Sometimes big, stompy robots is the answer. Can't play Fallout all the time, ya know)*Edit, forgot the spoiler tags. My bad.
