Deleted99367623User Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) Greetings to everyone! I need help with my HUGE load order. I do not get crashes often but have problem with disappearing landscapes, plants, trees, grass and buildings that appear after some seconds. Game freezes at almost all locations I visit - even when I have been there.When I get crashes Buffout 4 logs show mostly/mainly companion/follower related mods.For this plugins load order list I sorted first with LOOT, then looked in Wrye Bash for plugins that missing masters, sorted them manually. I also sort the plugins after mods' authors load order guides. I also use FO4EDIT for cleaning the mods (when Wrye Bash or LOOT show errors). As organizer I use Mod Organizer 2.Here is the BIG list: # This file was automatically generated by Mod Organizer.Fallout4.esm DLCRobot.esmDLCworkshop01.esmDLCCoast.esmDLCworkshop02.esmDLCworkshop03.esmDLCNukaWorld.esm Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch.esp SettlementKeywords.esmOWM-Master.eslArmorKeywords.esmdlcprojectx_mainplugin.esmHUDFramework.esmEthreonMasterPlan.esmLoads.esmHomemaker.esmWorkshopFramework.esm SettlementSalvageBot.eslWasteland Illumination DLC.eslSS2.esmWorldwideGhoulsV400.eslNewCalibers.espCWSS Redux.espC.O.A.T.S -

Deleted99367623User Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) is your goal to have a load order that contains every mod for fo4?there's so much duplication of mods in that list.Of course, I am NOT going to have all Fallout 4 mods to have one of the biggest plugins list (I would then reach even the limits for .ESL and or .ESL flagged plugins of 4096). By the way, in the list are 380+ .ESL and ESL-flagged .ESP. And 180+ .ESM and .ESP. (the limit of 254 is not reached). I know no one would go through the VERY LONG plugins list to look what is conflicting or what mod is not needed. Maybe there is some one who has such big list and knows what to do. What you mean exactly with duplication mods? Do I have double of them and if yes, which one are these?If you know please tell me (of course when you have time for it), but I thank you for answering me.

HadToRegister Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Well, you've got 69 LOST patches installed, so I decided to copy the name of some of then going down the list, by hitting CTRL+F to use Browser Search, so I copy the Titles, Like "See through Scopes" or "David Hunter" and the browser returns "1 of 1" fileWhich means you have patches installed for Mods you don't even have installed, I found about 10 of them so far, but I'm not going through all 69 of them. Also, I question your sorting, you use LOOT, but then sorted them manually anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I question your sorting, you use LOOT, but then sorted them manually anywayThank you too, for answering. David Hunter - A Brotherhood Story mod has BoSStory.esp. And See Through Scopes has 3dscopes-replacer.esp. I install the patches from Mortercotic's LOST and optional Reaper patches so: What FOMOD installer finds, will be installed. I installed the mods after Masterlix1982's MOFAM, ThuggySmurf's Thuggyfied, Mortercotic's Way to the Lost and LOST AWKCR VIS-G Patches and from other authors' guides. Sorting of plugins: After guides' rules then, because I added MANY MANY mods that were not on those guides too so I had to sort mostly manually while looked to load order guides of famous authors. If you want to know what mod the plugins is I would answer. By the way, I made on MO2 many sections/genres when installing mods after the guides I used so I know where a mod installed (want to say that it is easy to find what mod is installed in what order). AGAIN: I get RARE crashes with Buffout 4. I got VERY OFTEN crashes 'till 1 month ago then I wrote in many many mods' "Posts" page about my problem and could solve, even so it is not properly solved, solution for crashes. Since then rare crashes but when it crashes it is mostly because of companion/follower related crashes. To FPS: I have in FULLY built Sim Settlements 2 areas normally 30-40 FPS when I look around, outside/far away from SS2 settlements normally 40-50 FPS. But the biggest problem I have is ENSeries info needs 1 minute to appear, 1 minute to disappear. Loading a save needs 3 minutes. 1 month ago I had to wait 3 minutes for ENBSeries appearing/disappearing and loading of a save took up to 10 minutes. But after Sigt1's performance guide (that I followed) starting game is acceptable and FPS so, See the link:https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/49866/?tab=description&BH=1 Edited June 1, 2021 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted99367623User Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 ( I was using those as random examples, what about "Heal Thyself", and "Cheat Terminal" those were a couple that showed 1 of 1 (First, thanks again for trying to help and EVERY help is WELCOME)Companion Heal Thyself: CompanionHealThyself.esp (LOST patches: LOST Heal Thyself Patch.esp). And to Cheat Terminal: CheatTerminal.esp (in LOST: LOST Cheat Terminal Patch.esp). I do not know why your searching shows just 1 result.I also tried to play without LOST patches and also without AWKCR, AE, VIS-G Item SOrting and related mods but then I got VERY OFTEN crashes. I also tried with AND without LOST AWCKR VIS-G Patches (and related mods) and Thuggysmurf's two Patches "Grindfree Game Settings". When LOST and OR Thuggy patches are installed=rare crashes.But I do not know how to load FO4FI_FPS_FIX plugin. Author says VERY LAST and it means just above Bashed Patch, 0.ESP and AFTER the Mortercotic's LOST patches. When I load FO4FI at top (after Masterlix1982's installation guide) or at LAST still same re-building of areas that are first 50% or 100% 'ghostly' (not visible) for awhile. Then everything will be built (landscapes, plants, trees, buildings, grass etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monesq Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 While my list of mods was not that extensive (I had around 400 mods) I made the decision to eliminate certain mods so that my game performance would increase. I am an ardent settlement builder and want to share my blueprints, so I have a huge number of settlement mods that I will not get rid of, but some of the mods that I did for textures, I bundled those up with the basic game assets as per a guide I found that has increased FPS and decreased CTDs. I normally do not have CTDs but FPS issues. So now, if I am going to build settlements, I set the graphics level to low and when I am not, I set it back to high so my FPS remains consistent. Bottom-line, you need to make adjustments with this game engine and one of the best ones would be to reduce the number of mods. The more mods you have, the more likely you will have CTDs or performance issues unless you have one heck of a PC and even then, you may still have issues. You can put a Yugo engine into a Ford 4x4 pickup and it will run, but when going uphill, it will run backwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom-line, you need to make adjustments with this game engine and one of the best ones would be to reduce the number of mods. The idea of reducing graphic settings when building is good idea but it would mean I must do it every time I want to build, end the game, set settings at high, then when building, end game, set settings low etc. I do NOT mean that your idea is useless, it is VERY useful. I am at work reducing mods but slowly. I had last month 850(!) active plugins but reduced them a lot. But almost, but NOT all, mods I installed are mods I would not play without them. But performance comes first then mods, so I must continue to reduce the list. Thank you guys for helpful information! Especially, because I get crashes because of companions/follower (and I installed many) mods, I must concentrate on those mods. And of course because of longer loading times and often freezing that have to do with big texture, landscape, flora mods I must also look around to reduce those mods.

monesq Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Texture mods can be a killer, especially if they are in loose file format. You can combine them with other BSA texture mods through Cathedral Assets or a tool provided by the CK as BSA are much more efficient to load. I have done that with the game files that someone added their choices of textures and I added mine. It worked very well. You should try the High FPS mod. I finally figured out wh7y my game was lagging so much. I have an outdoor "man-cave" with a TV an evaporative cooler, etc., and I play outdoors as I smoke cigars while I play (I do not smoke inside my house). Irrespective of the number of fans I am running (4 under the laptop and the evap blowing on to my laptop) the temperature outside is very high (over 100 degrees and climbing now). At least I know that it is not a hardware problem per se. Companion mods can be problematic as they are heavily scripted I believe. The max I will run are three, Ivy from Lover's Lab (my all time favorite, I am waiting on version 6 to come out to play with her again) and a recent discovery, Darlene and Amazing Follower Tweaks (you cannot control Ivy or Darlene with AFT but I use it for the other companions to get their perks and then dump them). I like Heather Casdin and Ellen the Cartographer, but they have not been updated for years and after playing with them several times, the romance is over. Ivy and Darlene are actively being updated by two very good modders and I think they are the best companions for this game. I also have eliminated many of my weapon mods as I can only carry so many weapons with me. I use the BR77 as in latter stages it can be very powerful, which I need as I have mods that allow NPCs to gain experience with no limitations, coupled with mods that increase their intelligence and fighting (like taking cover or trying to surround be with cross fire, my combat game play is great, leaving only settlement mods (the vast majority of my mods), some visual mods and presets and of course Quest mods. I would easily go over 700 mods as there are so many out there, but with more mods, comes more exposure to instability. Keep working on your load order and eventually you will find a stable one. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
