Strange Issues .... need help!!!!

[HerrValkyr]

I'm experiencing a rather odd crashing issue centered around a combination of mods that I'm trying to run.

 

I know that I've somehow created a conflict of sorts, and am ready to re-install from scratch, as I can't seem to figure this one out.

 

 

 

I'm running FWE / FOOK / MMM / WMK with all current versions + FOIP patches in place

 

I'm also attempting to run some other Mods within and alongside these ... which was working fine ... until just last evening.

 

 

I can start a new game ... choose my character / stats / proficencies, etc. via the FWE alternative start feature ... no problems.

 

Once I actually get the game underway is when things go wonky ...

 

first thing that happens is I lose the ability to interact with things outdoors ... containers, npc's etc. ... the text appears, I can hear the "click" sound of interacting, but no dialog box appears ...

 

then I notice that my saves aren't working ... I can Quicksave ... but when I try to Quickload ... nothing .... as a matter of fact ... I can't even access the main menu via the escape key ...

 

soon afterwards ... if I start moving around at all ... the game crashes to the desktop ...

 

now, I have noticed that if I go indoors before the crash ... then everything seems fine again

 

If I fast travel to another place on the map ... all appears well & good ...

 

 

the whole thing is a bit strange to me .... and makes me suspect that my main fallout.esm file has somehow gotten corrupted ... is that even possible?!

 

I've exhausted my efforts in troubleshooting the matter, and could really use some advice ..

 

I've only been trying my hand at modding FO3 using the files available here @ Nexus for about a month now ...

 

 

For those more experienced than myself, and that can spot problems easily ...

I've included my plugin load order as follows ...

if anyone sees a conflict, please let know, as I really want to learn how to do this properly .... and this is the only way ...

 

Much Thanks in advance for all help given!!!!

Damn, that is a lot of mods!!!!!

 

The only thing i can think of is maybe FWE became corrupt, you said after you start a new game.

 

When your int he shack can you do ANYTHING.

IF you get past that is it after you sleep?

--if so it could be your FWE, but I would have no idea why

 

I did take a look, why not have the Mart's Mutant Mod- FWE+FOOK.esp instead? (i havn't played FO3 in a long time as I am "trying" to install XP on my computer because vista is pissing me off)

[TGBlank]

You could try disabling mods by groups, till you find which one it is. if none seem to do it, then rename your data/textures folders so the game uses the stock graphics. If that doesn't remove the ctd, then reinstall.

[HerrValkyr]

well.... I found the problem(s) ...

 

thanks for the replies BTW ... much appreciated indeed.

 

It boiled down to the extra quests I had installed ... something in there did not like them, and as a result, was crashing the game ...

 

can't remember exactly when things started going wrong ... but, it was well into a game in progress (note to self: leave well enough alone!!!)

 

 

There was one mod in particular that was causing the glitchiness (which remain un-named, as there is no need to vent frustrations here)

 

the creator had made some changes & included "the pitt" in a recent update of his ... and did not point the new DLC requirements out adequately in his update ... so, as a result of not having "the pitt" installed myself, some very serious issues ensued, which was the root of my problem, and thus kept crashing the game ....

 

When I tried to delete his mod using FOMM ... everything went haywire ... FOMM began CTD, and barfing up some cryptic error ... blah blah blah ...

 

now, even if I get the game working at all, the textures for pretty much everything are screwed ... all my bodies are purple, and there are Bobble-Head textures where floor-textures are supposed to be ... in the nutshell ... the game is pretty much non-salvageable at this point ..... so ...

 

In light of this, I have decided to un-install everything, and start from scratch ... this time including both OA & TP, as I have both of them (what the Hell!!!)

 

so, thanks again for looking, and trying to help as well!!!
