Crash in workshop when opening crafting section.

[KellMiffy]

I've just started playing again after a month and decided to add some mods to the game for the first time. Have plenty of experience modding 3, New Vegas and Skyrim so, I'm hoping, i've installed the mods correctly. I add mods one at a time and check stability in the game before adding the next.

 

After adding the any mod any weapon mod, whenever i open the crafting section of the workbench i get an instant CTD. Even when removing the mod, the crashes persists. I tried removing any mod that adds a new crafting bench and still, it crashes.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Please refer to the Bugs section on that mod's page. It seems to be a common issue even after uninstalling it. You might have to revert back to an older savegame before installing that mod.

I seem to be having the exact same problem so when you figure this out please let me know what you did to fix it. i deleted my old saves all of them and then repaired my game, after that i started a new game, and no matter what i do only when i open the settlement menu i crash immediately. I have similar plugins

@Ryan1076R:

 

on a new game without installing that specidic mod again, it should not be related. You're probably either missing the archive invalidation setting or you're missing meshes from one of your workshop mods. Refer to this guide for troubleshooting workshop mods and CTD issues.

For me, it was Alternate Settlements mod causing conflict. Go to the bottom of it in the end. Disabled Alternate Settlements and any other ESP files that depended on it.

look to see if you have Data/Interface/Workshop.swf If you have a Workshop.swf remove it and test your game.

 

When Beth updated i.e. beta Patches 1.3 and 1.4 they used a new Workshop.swf to add features. Any And I mean ANY mod that edits and includes a custom version of the old Workshop.swf will cause a CTD when trying to open the workshop menu.

 

This is because the OLD workshop.swf is not compatible with the new update/beta.

 

You'll then have to wait for the mod responsible for the issue to update or run your game without the workshop.swf.

Damn, was hoping this would help me. After disabling a couple things, I can now open Workshop etc. but it crashes after being in it for like 2-3mins. CTD straight up. No idea why.

 

I don't have the workshop.swf file in data? maybe that IS the cause? :P

Read and follow this guide for troubleshooting your workshop mods and CTD issues. Your load order shows a lot of issues covered in the guide.

I'm having the same problem it completely shuts down even when i just hover my cursor over the crafting option in the workshop.

[b4dmojo]

These post by SpyderArachnid fixed my issues. I was crashing whenever i touched or tried to open workshop by holding down button.

I installed DEF_HUD and DEF_INV. I did not delete my Workshop.swf.

 

This is from the posts on Settlement Keywords.

Just thought I'd mention this again, as the beta patch is now live already.

Every time I try to open the Workshop now, I insta crash. Whether it is Homemaker, Alternate Settlements, Business Settlements, OCDecorator, Settlement Keywords, etc etc, I have no idea.

I just know the new patch added new categories for the new items now, which could be the obvious problem. Not sure if this mod just needs to be updated with the new categories, or if all workshop mods need to be updated now, but thought I'd mention it at least.

Rather sucks, as I was right in the middle of rebuilding the Castle and the patch hit, and now I can't finish (or work on any settlement for that matter). Hopefully these mods get updated soon to support the new categories.

EDIT: (I always feel retarded after posting cause I figure out the issue after I already post about it) Seems it was an issue with the workshop.swf file. Any interface mod that changes it was causing CTD when opening the workshop. And DEF_INV/DEF_HUD updated today, so got the new update and the workshop works fine now.

I'm not getting any CTD's from this mod or any settlement mod for that matter. Just finished building an elaborate clinic in the Castle and didn't have any crashes.

My crashes were due to DEF_INV/DEF_HUD instead. After I updated those two mods, everything is working just fine again.

So check if you have a workshop.swf in your interface folder. If so, remove it (as it is usually added by an interface mod), then try to open your workshop again.
