Major load order problems

[sm0508]

Hello,

 

I have the Steam Version of Fallout 3 GOTY.

 

I had downloaded various mods without experiencing too many problems. Now I downloaded and installed FOOK2 open beta, and I am no longer able to start the game. I launch FOSE and it crashes before the main menu shows up.

 

I checked instructions, load order and compatabilities and have been unable to find the issue.

 

Even more worryingly, I disabled all FOOK2 plugins and it kept crashing at the same point. I then removed ALL other plugins except for the main fallout3.esm and the DLCs, with the same result. DEACTIVATING all the mods solved the issue and I could reinstall all up to FOOK2 again.

 

NOTE:

 

1. Had compatability patch for WMK/FH ironsights

2. Had compatability patch for WMK/FOOK2

3. No other 'major' mods; only textures/hideout/perks etc.

4. I have darnified UI

 

The original load order can be found below. Any ideas?

 

Fallout3.esm=1

Anchorage.esm=1

ThePitt.esm=1

BrokenSteel.esm=1

PointLookout.esm=1

Zeta.esm=1

CALIBR.esm=1*****

FOOK2 - Main.ESM=1******

FOOK2 - [DIK] DLC Improvement Kit.ESM=1******

Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch.esm=0

WeaponModKits - PointLookout.esp=1

WeaponModKits - ThePitt.esp=1

WMKAA12Shotgun.esp=1

WeaponModKits - Zeta.esp=1

The above works WITHOUT FOOK2 files in their load order places.

******* Hypothetical location of FOOK2-related files which causes the game to crash on start up.
