AncientGamer65 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I think this might turn out lengthy, so I'll preface it with a TLDR: TLDR: If you use New Vegas Anti-Crash in Fallout 4, will it do anything other than take up space? Story: Whenever I try a "performance" mod, it seems to create many other problems for *MY* games...New Vegas Anti-Stutter, for example, causes crashes for me, likely mostly due to my ineptness in being able to tweak the ini properly, I'll admit that. I've seen hundreds swear by it, but for MY game, it causes crashes. Every performance mod EXCEPT New Vegas Anti-Crash (NVAC), that is...heck, my Fallout 3 game was in such a sad shape that it'd crash after 5 minutes of running it (no joke), but when I put in NVAC, it stabilized out to the point that I could even run the last regular quest, walking Liberty Prime over to the Enclave, with zero crashing, and that was crashing even BEFORE I got into modding and had a completely vanilla installation. So you can say I'm a bit of a fanboy of NVAC. :P Everything I've added it to has worked brilliantly and kept my games from crashing...both Fallout 3 and New Vegas have it in them and they simply don't crash for me anymore. Recently, I tried a couple of "performance" mods for Fallout 4...the one to improve frames in Boston and "FAR"...and my game has been crashing a bit more since. With my history with "performance" mods (I once installed a "remove unnecessary objects" mod for Fallout 3 and lost a large portion of the Eastern map...lol), I was quick to blame the two performance mods I installed and removed them...but then had a wacky idea: Could NVAC help Fallout 4 any? I realize it's about the same as asking "Can an XBOX game play on a Playstation?"...different engine, different generation of games...there's no logical reason why it could help, right? But what the heck, I installed NVAC into Fallout 4 at the same time I uninstalled the aforementioned performance mods...and my game isn't crashing anymore. :/ Am I going nutty, or is NVAC helping my FO4 game? I need folks with more experience and modding knowledge to explain this one to me...I know I'm nuts, but can it actually be helping? I suppose I should end this with this thought: this post is made in NO WAY to slam "Performance" mods. I know for fact that they help people and it's just my lack of modding skillz that keep them from helping me...in no way, shape, or form am I saying "don't install the mods I mentioned or performance mods in general". Performance mods do great things...they just haven't helped me out so much...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 NVAC is designed for NVSE. It won't even be loaded by F4SE. You're imagining things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must've been the two other mods that were causing my crashes because I'm still crash-free since removing those two and putting NVAC in FO4. It's nice to be mistaken once in a while. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
