Crashes when entering pest control area of vault 22.

[Chuzard]

Like the title says, whenever i reach the bottom level of Vault 22 (the spore infested one) the game instantly crashes... This is a big pain in the butt since I have to go there to complete a quest.

I tried going there from a previous save file and the same thing happened. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Your not using very many mods so it should be easy to figure out the problem. I suggest trying it without World of Pain and if that doesn't work try it without Bounties. One of those is probably causing the problem.

for starters, though i dont know if this will help, Fallout NV.esm ALWAYS must be the first to load. try sorting it like this:

 

 

Fallout NV.esm

AWorldOfPain(Preview).esm

Eve.esm

RRCompanionVault.esm

since i dont know what your companion mods depend on to function, work your .esps:

 

mission/location

game effects/graphics

companions

 

 

also use NVEdits Master Update function, that helps as well

My game still crashes.

I'll try removing world of pain for a bit, but I'm worried it might screw up my game since I'm carrying items I obtained from that mod etc.

I'll be back in a bit to post how it went.

 

EDIT

 

Okaaayy....

Even with both NV Bounties and WoP disabled the game still seems to crash.

Is there like any other information that I can provide, that might throw shine some light onto the real problem?

Thanks for sticking with me this far though.

ok. move your current game save to a temporary folder, and try starting a new game and hiking to Vault 22. if it doesnt crash, then it might be an issue with your game save. if it crashes, then im out of ideas

From trial and error detection back when modding FO3 I found a few things to look out for.

You are having trouble with a location, specifically a Vault so the chances are you are looking for mod with a Vault in it.

Examples: I had a mod that messed up most of the walls in Vault 87. Turned off the Vault mods tillI found the culprit. Another that affected Enclave doors so the same with anything that might add them.

I made AWOP and I am 99.9% certain that that is safe as it repalces nothing in the vanilla game not does it change the default vaules of stuff that would cause the discepancies needed to trigger lots of crashes. Also I have not edited any of the vanilla Vaults.

I would look out for a mod with low endorsements personally. Of course the crashes may be linked to some other kind of reference or script or trigger (as opposed to a location mod). It is difficult to say one way or another.

You can try downloading FNVEdit:

and it's tutorial:

The tutorial can talk you through mod conflict detection and can tell you ways to fix any problems you may run into (creating manual overrides rather than removing mods).

 

After all that I just checked out your load order (didn't spot it before). I had figured you were running more mods than that. As you are not running many mods though it should be easier to identify the problem. I would still recommend FNVEdit.
