yolothedino Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Okay, here's the gist of it: I've played FNV since it was released but only started playing with mods about 3 years ago. A few months back, I tried to get FNV running with much more CPU-intensive mods as I had a new laptop which had 8GB more RAM than my PC. My PC itself gets laggy and crashes often when using mods that spawns more enemies, thus the switch. Anyway, the last attempt worked quite well when testing - the only problem is that exiting to exteriors warrants an occasional crash. I shrugged this off as it was a huge improvement as compared to playing FNV on PC. However, I soon experienced much more crashes the further I got into the game, with it always happening for exteriors. It has gotten to the point where I am unable to ever leave an interior without relying on console. I'm not a complete newbie to installing and using mods, but I'm not a total expert at it. It'd be great to have some extra useful information when it comes to installing mods. I've already used these in my last attempt: Nexus Mod Manager FNV 4GB (and legit version of FNV) New Vegas Anti-Crash installed CASM (A save manager, this was recommended when I was seeking help last time) The only difference between using my laptop (12 GB RAM) and my PC (4 GB RAM) is that the game is **playable** on my PC, but not smoothly along with random crashes. On the laptop, the game runs extremely smoothly but crashes on exteriors to the point where the game cannot be played anymore. Also, I've used a few big mods that I did not use when on PC, which are: NMC Texture Pack One Hud Darnified UI Please advise me on how to decrease my crash rate. I've asked for help at the nexus forums for a month but did not receive any satisfactory answer, despite following the suggestions (installing CASM, reducing load order, etc). I've given up on actually finding a real solution and just wants to find a way to install mods smoother so I won't run into game-breaking problems later on. **tl:dr - read bullet list, advice on how to make mods run smoother overall** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 How much VRAM do you have? NV tends to crash when it runs out of it and that texture pack can increase usage by a large amount depending on which version you're using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
