Help a dingus optimize load order!

[Stephen44911]

I do have LOOT and typically use that for load order, but you guys are probably far more knowledgeable then me.

A "v" symbolizes that it the plugin is activated.

Well, that's it. I've been having some completely random CTD's (completely random time intervals too. Sometimes crashes will be within 20 minutes of eachother, and sometimes I can go an hour without a crash) It would be awesome if anyone could help me optimize my load order, or even recommend patches for compatibility, or any hotfixes I forgot.

 

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I AM currently running the 4gb patch.

First, uninstall all the inactive plugins. They may not be active, but the files are still in the Data folder and will be loaded into the game. Loose files are loaded before .bsa files.

 

Get BOSS http://boss-developers.github.io/ to handle your load order. LOOT makes a load disorder. Check the FWE mod page for an example of a correct load order.

 

Disable and uninstall all lthe compatibility patches you have for Project Beauty. You do not have Project Beauty and don't need patches for it.

 

Remember, compatibility patches must load after the last mod they are patching.

 

As far as random CTD's go, you should feel lucky the game would even load since you have a missing master file (project beauty). It is probably because the patches were being overwritten by other files.

Thanks a ton M48A5

I know Fallout 3 is supposed to be unstable, but not "crash every 20 minutes" unstable.

Thanks for mentioning the FWE mod page too, I completely forgot it had a recommended load order too.

So for deleting unused plugins, should I just delete the unused .esp's from the data folder?

[M48A5]

To disable and uninstall unused plugins, use your mod manager. First, uncheck them to disable them. Do not delete a plugin that has not been disabled, you will really mess up your game and have to do a complete re-install of both the game and your mod manager. After you have disabled the plugins, use the mod manager to uninstall them. Or delete them from the data folder.
