Crash To Desktop (CTD) Cure-All

[RasterOps]

Good morning. My latest non-modded save game loads and I can start a new game from within Steam.

 

I have accumulated over 1300 hours FO4 game time. Prior to this CTD I have played modded games with 80-90 (or more) mods. The only CTD's were easily fixed by ensuring the mods were installed correctly (required files and order, etc.). I had to disable all mods to start collecting achievements again. Also I had to remove some edits to ini files in on order to fix the huge Nuka Cola bottle display bug. So I thought to play a modded game, all I should have needed was to re-enable my mods...

 

I reapplied my ini edits. The last ini edit I made was for Enhanced Blood Textures. I can play modded again as my game no longer CTD's.

 

Fair Warning

Deleting the contents of the data folder included a file, "...-prey.esl", which I assume is the key (?) for Morgans Spacesuit (Creation Club), which the engine informed me was required by my non-modded game. It is missing from my inventory. Verifying the integrity of the game files does not restore this file. Fortunately, it is possible to open the Creation Club and re-download the ".esl" file.

Ran into a little problem: While following the rules as accurately as possible I did NOT find a folder in my Fallout 4 files called "Strings" so I didn't think it was a big deal and I deleted all the files that didn't seem that important (all of the files I deleted seemed to be involved with the mods I used)
Afterwords I attempt to launch the game to no avail.
Right after hitting "Play" from the launch window the game simply closes and I'm back to the desktop.

As of right now I'm attempting to fix this by uninstalling and re-installing Fallout 4 from steam so as I await the game to download I ask for help from anyone who might know what my problem is and if I just made it worse.

WARNING: When he says that you should only have two folders in your data folder doesn't mean 2 items... I deleted everything elseand it got rid of all of my data!

Edit: Don't worry about me, i had a backup for it! I'm really happy that i backed everything up when I started speedrunning!

Start a new topic about your issue instead of adding your problem in a different topic; you'll likely get more responses, Cos.

 

And use the

tags when adding larger chunks of text, please ;)

Why is this topic giving very bad advices not deleted yet? :)

This helped me to solve my CTD but it should be updated because with DLC-s loaded, there are a tonns of additional files in the directory now. I see it isn't obious for everyone that we don't need to delete the DLC files for example. So it's not bad just needs some update (OP was made back in 2015).

For me, my version of Fallout 4 has no mods and... it's crashing and I installed the Fallout 4 Configuration Manager and still it is crashing. What do I do?!
