Editing workshop menus is causing CTD─ Don't know why.

I use a lot of mods that add settlement objects, and not all of them have their own menus. Since my vanilla categories are getting awfully full and I don't feel like scrolling passed 100 items in the "Chairs" menu to find the one I want, I decided to make my own workshop mod that organizes everything.

 

So I started with the base game, made new formlists and keywords, made my own art objects for the new menus, updated COBJ records to use the new keywords, and so on. For some perspective on what exactly I was doing, I broke one-layer menus down into more sub-menus, so for instance, Furniture→Chairs became Furniture→Seating→Living Room and Furniture→Chairs→Kitchen. I was occasionally saving and booting the game to check for properly appearing menus and items, and everything was good until I reached Power.

 

After sorting light fixtures into sub-menus, when I booted the game, I crashed to desktop whenever I scrolled to my new "Lights" menu. After some tinkering, I have it working to some extent. I changed all of the COBJ records to use my new keywords except for the ones added by the Vault-Tec DLC. Now I can go into the Lights menu and everything is okay, and I can even put the vanilla "Lights" keyword into my new "Lights" formlist to nest it there. I just have to deal with the fact that my wall-hung lights are in their own menu, lamps are in their own menu, and all of the Vault lighting is still inside the vanilla "Lights" menu.

 

I figured I would just deal with it later and went on to the rest of the menu. When I was satisfied, I started to include mods to assimilate them into my new menus. But when I activate such a mod, like Pristine Workshop Assets, whenever I scroll to a part of the menu where an item it adds would have appeared, I crash to desktop. I don't get even get to scroll to one of the modded items. The game crashes as soon as I arrive at the top-most menu level that it will eventually appear in.

 

For example, Pristine Workshop Assets doesn't add anything to the Structures section of the Main Menu or the Beds section of the Furniture Menu. As soon as I go into the Furniture menu and scroll passed Beds to Seating, the game crashes.

 

I don't have any clue why this would be happening.

I just wanna say this is brilliant. I really hope you get this thing working and ultimately, hopefully, share it. A bookmark-type feature for the workshop menu is so painfully absent. It really grates the nerves to have to scroll through that entire mess just because you decided to have options. I don't know if "bookmarks" is exactly what you would consider this thing to be but it does sound sufficiently close to it.

Do you use custom menu icons (ArtObj)?

If so, carefully verify the NIF used for the power submenu(s).
