level up freeze

[Demonpoe]

I am ashamed at admitting defeat but I have no choice. When I level from 25 to 26 I go through my stats(none have been altered by console codes), I pick my perk, and hit the A key to continue. Then BAM game freezes, music plays for some time the stops and I have to ctrl/alt/del. I have checked FO3 for conflicts, made a merged patch, tried master update, and searched many a forum. I'll show my load order and maybe someone will have a suggestion. Thanks.

Have you updated your MMM to version 6.1? It fixes its issue with level-up freezing.

[Demonpoe]

Oh really? My MMM is at RC 6.0, even though I downloaded 6.1, I think FOMM messed it up when I used the package manager, still leveling up was no problem when I had it for like 20 or so levels. Though this is all irrelevant because I removed the armor trick mod and then it stoped freezing. :) IDK what it did to mess up leveling....Thank for the heads up anyways!!!

My FO3 suddenly started freezing when leveling. Read on this forum that Book of Earache might cause this problem for someone else. Removed it and my leveling problems and fast travel problems vanished. I like BOE and maybe this is a coincidence, since had to remove Albino Race as well, but for time being am going to enjoy playing and not crashing. Hope this helps.

BOE makes an alteration to the text of the Mysterious Stranger perk. The only report of a level up freeze I ever received was a conflict with another mod that made changes to that perk. Hope that helps.
