PLEASE HELP "Before you leave Vault 101 Forever..." Menu keeps popping up, can't leave vault!

[doopdedoo]

So I got all the way to the end of Vault 101 on a HEAVILY modded playthrough start and I CAN'T LEAVE THE VAULT! The menu where you change you appearence etc if you want keeps popping up and everytime I hit, "Finished, Leave Vault 101" it just reappears! Here's my load order (nevermind that some aren't selected, I was disabling some to check for conflicts, just view this as if all are active, mind you some are merged into the bashed patch)

OK well nevermind. This is the weirdest thing. I just found a solution and NO it's not just ~ coc vault101exterior (though I did try that and it worked, but the menu still kept popping up and it's a pain in the butt to keep ~ cam'ing it, lol). What I did was, went through each option on the "Before you leave the vault" menu one by one. Change race, name, special, etc... until finally I get to "change skill advancement" and VOILA! I exit the vault!

 

However... I just realized (I'm running the awesome Ties That Bind mod btw) that I forgot to unlock my sister from her prison cell... OOPS. I was dissatisfied to see that the quest cinematic that goes with Ties That Bind did not activate as soon as I left the vault, so I assume it's because I forgot to unlock her. So I guess I must reload a previous save and go back and get her. lol if it's not one problem it's another!

You are going to run into problems as you get into the game. You have too many plugins for the game to run properly. You need to get your load order below about 130 +/- plugins.

[doopdedoo]

well the game actually runs amazingly well for that many plugins. So far that's the only problem I've encountered, and upon realizing all I have to do is click a different option to get through the door, it's not that big of a deal after all. I think the mod that's causing the most problems is actually Ties That Bind.

 

Anyway, on getting my load order down, tell me more about merging plugins. I wonder... could I just take all those esps and merge them into one big fat esp to bring my count back down to next to nothing? Then I could run virtually INFINITE mods! Well not infinite but a whole damn lot at least. What do you think?
