Random CTD's

[Closertothesun]

So i recently got fallout 3 working with mods, but with that comes Crash to Desktops. Does anybody know what mods could cause this or if there's a mod remedy for CTD?

 

Here's my load order: I didn't bother using LOOT/BOSS because some people said they don't work and just screw thing up most of the time.

You definitely need to use a load order sorter. Do not use LOOT for Fallout 3, BOSS is better. http://boss-developers.github.io/

 

You need to start with a stable base game. Your starting load order should be:

 

Fallout3.esm

Anchorage.esm

ThePitt.esm

BrokenSteel.esm

PointLookout.esm

Zeta.esm

 

Any mod with multiple plugins needs to be in the same order. You also need to read and understand what you are installing. You cannot use both FWE-Optional Restor Tracers.

 

You also need to read and understand the mod description page of the mods your are installing. Most of the larger overhaul mods have load order samples, if you look for them.

I disabled CASM and have been getting less frequent CTD's, although they do happen at the worst times still. Are there any other auto saving mods I have that I'm unaware of that I can disable?

Update: I found out that RTS (Real Time Settler) has an autosave feature, but I have no idea how to disable it. Any idea how to?
