Companion Mod Problem

[EnzoMafioso]

Howdy, I tried posting this on the discussion for the mod itself but I couldn't get a response so I was hoping someone here might have an idea:

 

The mod in question is Sydney Follower by drg6525

 

I had previously installed the mod, did stealing independence, recruited Sydney successfully, and pretty much accomplished every interaction possible. Due to some mod complications, I later had to uninstall (using FOMM deactivated and deleted package). I then redownloaded the file and reinstalled.

 

However, my attempts to regain Sydney as a follower have resulted in nothing but frustration and crashes to the desktop. At first I just plain couldn't find her. I finally determined she was back in the National Archives for some reason (quest was completed). However, trying to enter the archive cell resulted in a CTD. I then tried to teleport her to me using the base "moveto Player" on her refID. This also resulted in crash to desktop. Finally, I downloaded an optional "recruitment fix" posted by the author and used the "set SydneyFix.Go to 1" command as he specified. Alas, also a crash to desktop.

 

It seems that something about Sydney is causing the game to crash whenever she enters the same cell as me. Upon further testing, I have uninstalled the mod again, removing everything associated with the mod, deleting my old merged patch and creating a new one. The game STILL crashes when I try to bring Sydney to me.

 

Anyone have any ideas? What could an NPC have that it's mere presence in a cell would cause the game to crash? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you loaded up all your mods in FO3Edit to see if any other mods loaded after or in your merged patch are touching any records in Sydney Follower.esp?

I have absolutely the same problem and cannot even attempt this quest.

 

since un-installed Sydney Follower and still CTD anywhere near National Archives, talk about frustrating

 

i cant find a mod that should conflict at all and i run Merged Patch and FO3Masterupdate and National Archives is the only CTD in my game.

Did you make a clean save after un-installing the mod? Have you re-installed the mod to the exact same place in your load order? Running MasterUpdate on all your installed mods can cause problems, especially for mods that don't require it. If FO3Edit does not find any conflicts with your installed mods then there's always the chance that your save game(s) may simply be corrupt in some way.
