Crashing on saves outside of settlements

[Tilarium]

Hi all. I'm a bit perplexed by this issue and came to see if anyone else has encountered anything similar or if anyone might have a solution. Sense release I've logged 96 hours in game and have had 0 issues with or without mods loaded. My last play session I did all of the Vault 81 quests, got Curie, returned to Starlight and did some building and then headed up to Sanctuary to build the beacon platform. Many auto-saves during that time (regular interval ones and ones from going in and out of areas) and saved many times manually as well.

 

After building the platform and a power generator (which I can't seem to attach a cable from to the platform which showed it needed power) I talked to Sturges, got the next segment of the quest, the game then auto-saved and headed I out. Passing through concord I remembered there was a save in the workhouse that I couldn't pick before but now I could so I went to stop in there and the game crashed as I went to enter. Loaded it back up and headed out of Sanctuary again, got to the workhouse and went to enter and crashed again. Loaded back up, got outside the workhouse again turned off the auto-saves and went to save the game manually and crashed. Loaded back up, turned off the auto-saves and headed back out and was able to get into the workhouse. Opened the safe, looted the insides and left and continued my journey. Got the one of the rail-stations (the one near Starlight, grabbed the ever regenerating concrete bags and went to save which caused another crash.

 

Now I'm here with the conclusion, I can only save in settlements. I'm doubtful it's one of the mods as I had made no changes sense before I started the last session which had many saves. Now that I think about it, they were all saves inside Vault 81 or while I was in Starlight. It might be that I can only save in settlements and inside areas. More testing is obviously required. But still, this is very very odd.

 

The only thing I can think of that might be behind it is the scrap scrap mod. I say that because the only think out of the normal I while in Sanctuary was scrap some of the scrap items there just to test the mod out. More testing will be required there as well. I'm doubtful that was the cause though as many of reported that mod to be safe.

 

Anyway. Has anyone else encountered this issue before? If it matters, I swapped Piper out for Curie just to get my rep with her built up a little.

 

 

EDIT:

 

First test seems to be the right test. Loaded up the save I made before using scrap scrap for the first time. Made a save down by Red Rocket and then beelined to the workhouse and entered with no problem. Seems that the mod was the cause of the problem. Perhaps not the whole mod itself but just one of the pieces I randomly removed while trying the mod.

 

EDIT again instead of again making a new reply:

 

Nope, not the mod at all. I know this because I uninstalled it, loaded the save from before I used it, build the platform, talked to Sturges, and crashed when I tried to save. Only logical conclusion now is that it's the platform that's causing the crash.

 

EDIT:

 

After a round of various testings, I think I have it figured out. Seems to happen only after building the platform and talking to Sturges and starting the next segment of the mission.

 

EDIT again:

 

Another quick test where I moved the platform after building it to an adjacent foundation and the game has had 0 problems sense. Could it have been that simple?
