Fallout 4 Random CTDs and I just want to ask what mod is most likely causing it

[uysiorly]

UPDATE: I've uninstalled LOOT and I'm trying to install Buffout4
UPDATE 2: I've used FO4Edit and used "Apply filter to Show Conflicts" and everything became red such as here https://imgur.com/a/9Ii2CU8

I'm new to modding but I tried to really do some troubleshooting before posting here. I've been playing for 5 hours but I've already had >10 random CTD's, from just walking, to moving between places, to fast-travelling, etc.

I used Vortex to install the mods, I'm also running F4SE, LOOT, QuickCleaner

I've initially installed 60 mods that I saw were interesting from youtube and I thought that they'd be compatible with each other since they were recommended by the same channel.

Here's the load order of mods I've used https://pastebin.com/B08sVHEN

Actually I've already deleted some mods that I thought were causing the problems (I did this mid-game, I know, bad move) and the CTD's remained. I noticed there were two mods that had deleted navmeshes which were Better Goodneighbor and Better The Thirdrail so I deleted them. After that I also deleted FunctionalDisplay since it had some ITM's that no matter what I did, didn't get cleaned. I also deleted Better Settlers since I thought it might have been incompatible with Sim Settlements 2.

I've tried everything I could without starting a new game (changing my settings, deleting mods, trying Resaver which couldn't also load my save file).

Now I just give up and I just want to start a new save. I just wanna ask what should I do when starting this new save and what mods should I delete before doing so? Thank you!

Hello uysiorly,

 

Before getting into finding conflicts, have you tried running the game in borderless windowed mode? I used to get frequent random crashes even with vanilla setup, but using borderless windowed mode stopped my problem completely. If you haven't, it might be worth a try.

 

About "moving between places" and "fast traveling" - these things will load new areas (in exterior space, crossing cell borders will cause new cells to be loaded in the background), and the game can crash during loading (bad assets, referencing deleted refs, etc.). If it is reproduceable by going to the same spot, that's highly likely the mod using that area causing the problem.

 

I would suggest cutting down on how many mods you use at first, though. It's much easier to troubleshoot if you start small and add mods one by one. The vanilla game isn't as bad as some people say IMO.

I was having a problem with CTDs, which was fixed when I turned graphics settings down from Ultra to Medium.
