Dozens of raiders near springvale

[billpasdmf]

I have this issue where a bunch of raiders spawn in the river near Springvale school. What appears to be happening is that they will spawn hear instead of their usual scripted places. So, you get certain areas that have minimal raiders (under the bridge across from the citadel, the overpass near vault 101) and literally dozens right by the school.

 

I didn't mind at first cause it was kinda fun to nuke bunches of them and sweep up a bunch of xp, but now it's annoying. Usually it will cause my pc to lag and sometimes crash.

 

Is anyone aware of a mod or anything else that may have caused this?

Not sure how much help this will be, but I heard of a glitch that causes certain NPC to spawn under school. I actually found Walter from Megaton there once. I used the console to move Walter back to megaton and then he followed his track around there and all was fine. I doubt it will work for the Raiders as you would have to know where each one originally came from, but you could give it a try. You could give this a read http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Recovering_missing_NPC_in_Fallout_3 and see if it will help.

 

There are supposed to be raiders there though as it is the raider base that attacks Megaton, but not dozens of them outside.

Thanks for the response, but I'm pretty sure I narrowed down the issue.

 

The mod "Springvale Schematics Shop" seems to be the culprit. I like the mod, but the cons outweighed the pros in this case. I posted in the comment section giving a rundown of the issue, to let the author know about it. Not sure if it's a conflict w/ another mod or what. I definitely know that when I turned the mod off, it stopped happening. The raiders went back to where they should be and my cpu stopped crashing in that area. So, that's that as far as I'm concerned.
