L3s7ing, Ty for your understanding and lack of teeth at my frustration. I do appreciate it. Tbh, L3s, I think it's probably my hardware. Back when I first started encountering these problems I had a shitty processor and an even worse vid card but I recently upgraded and was super excited to actually PLAY fallout 4 without the 1000 year loading screen or the enemies spawning on top of me b/c s*** didn't fully load as I was walking around.... I'm glad it's working 100% for you. Maybe I'll just put Fallout 4 down again until I get better hardware.\ and yes I am using mods, over 150 atm but I know none of them are causing this explosion graphic issue because I was having this EXACT issue on a vanilla install ages ago before I put Fallout 4 down in the first place.
