Constant CTD even with mod removed?

[vermillion73]

Just installed a mod called Talking User Interface 0.9 into the data folder and now when ever I start up FO3 I get CTD straight away every time. The uninstall instructions say 'to uninstall delete mod :)' Ive gone into the folder and deleted the sound files yet it still crashes. Whats a wastelander to do..

Do you have any savegames from before installing the offending mod?

Yes I did, should i get rid of them or something? ty for the help btw. I sorta over came the problem by reinstalling everything except that sound mod, but its constantly crashing ingame randomly, been told autosaving, quicksaving and loading a game in game are at fault.. Never realized FO3's save mechanism was so volatile..

Rule #1 for FO3 = Save often and in different slots. (Not using quick or auto save.)

No, don't delete the old saves. You may need to use an older savegame if your recent one is corrupted. There is a mod called CASM that revamps the quicksave and autosave features to make them less vulnerable to corrupt savegames. Have not had a problem with loading games while in game myself, but I do not use quicksave or autosave because of bad experiences.
