Fallout 3 now crashes after level-up

[ShiftyShifty]

I have several major overhaul mods running on my Fo3, all of which worked perfectly and without any problems. Once I made it to the part where the Enclave captures you after retrieving the GECK, I now cannot level-up without my Fo3 locking up. I can go through the whole leveling process of distributing points and choosing a perk, but as soon as I choose my perk and hit the OK button it locks up on me. Sometimes it will CTD, most of the time it will just freeze entirely. I have to deactivate half the mods I have running, level up, save, then reactivate. I'm hoping it's only a problem with my load order. Also, this didn't seem to happen until I installed IMCN (Imp's More Complex Needs) but if I deactivate it I still have the problem.

 

Here's is my installed mods in the order they load. Of course the ones without an [X] are the ones I don't have running anyway.

If anyone has information on how to solve this problem, please let me know. Kudos for your efforts.

 

P.S.: YES I do have FOSE, and YES it's installed correctly ;)

[Quetzlsacatanango]

I had this the other day. Couldn't explain it but I made a new merged patch and it seems it went away. I don't see a merged patch in your load order at all.

[joey2176]

Shifty you need to move all of your active ESM's up to the top of the load order.

[ShiftyShifty]

@ Quetzlsacatanango

 

I have no idea how to go about that. Is there a tutorial on the site?

 

 

@ joey2176

 

You mean all my .esm 's have to be before my .esp 's? Even if they depend on loading after certain other mods?

 

 

EDIT: I found a tutorial on making merged patches, Kudos to both of you, and it seems I have already given you a kudos in the past, Quetzlsacatanango. I will report back if all this works =]

[joey2176]

Yes all ESM's always load before esp's.

[ShiftyShifty]

Rearranging the .esm 's before the .esp 's didn't work, but didn't cause further problems. I guess I'll have to try this "merged patch" thing, which I'll probably fail at and mess up my game further. -__-

 

EDIT: If anyone can tell me what mods I should merge in this list, it would save me much time, coffee, and Tylenol xD

[Quetzlsacatanango]

Just run fo3edit with your current load order ticked. Then when it's done, right click and choose 'create merged patch'. Close and save. Make sure that new esp is loaded last.

[ShiftyShifty]

Creating a merged patch didn't have any effect, I still freeze on exiting the level-up menu :wallbash: I would p*ss on a spark plug right now if I thought it would do any justice.

[rickerhk]

I'm having the same issue with freeze on level up to level 11 yesterday. After installing the Book of EarAche for the first time. I can only make the problem go away by unticking xCALIBRuniverse.esp.

But the problem could still be an interaction with another mod. I'd like to find the problem because I really like this mod so far.

 

I tried merged patch, masterupdate, unticking all my mods except this one. No luck.

[Nsinger998]

what are your stats(big guns, sneak, ect)?

 

if you don't have space for the 20 skill points at level up it will freeze. try pressing ~ then typing something like player.setav (biggest stat) -50

then press enter and try to level up.
