Fallout 4 Beginners Guide

Nup, crashed again at that same spot. Messed around with my load order a bit, didn't add or take anything away just tried adjusting placement of some stuff, but same result.

I install them all in small groups of categories, and a good deal of them are things I've used successfully in the past. So I'm starting to think it's A) something I'm not as familiar with the stability of, and/or B) a conflict between two and not any one mod being a problem but the combination of them together. And what I have in spades right now that I haven't had much of in the past is adjustments to NPC dialogue. Like, five or six of them I think. The order could be wrong, or it could just be too many of them.

After the last suggestion from NaiRae to check all my Diamond City mods, I loaded up JUST the mods that edit or add anything including NPCs to Diamond City, and it didn't crash. Maybe some sort of dialogue conflict is happening when I enter the city. I'm guessing but I can appreciate a lead, even if only a random feeling, because it's far preferable to having NO idea what to even try next. XD

I honestly don't even know wtf. I disabled everything and I've been going through enabling mods one at a time, loading in, going to Diamond City, saving, closing, and reloading. Anytime it crashed with a mod enabled, I just took it off. But it KEEPS happening. I've gone from 200 to half that. I yeet something off the list because I enable it and it either crashes or fails to load DC after the save, and then it happens again. But this is such a small list at this point, of things I've used before on this PC, and never had a problem. I've started fresh several times now. I don't know what else to do.

Start by eliminating (uninstalling, not simply disabling) everything Diamond City related, like the DC-Guard overhaul and DC Vendors thing and the Diamond City Expansion mods.

 

Elianora's Faction Housing overhaul can be a problem when other mods alter the faction head-quarters, including clothing that affects the factions. Anything SIM-settlement related is a potential hazard.

 

Here's my current load order. 462 plugins

I did. I've done this so many times I've literally pulled out hair over it. I think I nail down the problem, and then I find another mod that is also causing the exact same issue. And there's no way every single one of these highly reliable mods is the problem.

I appreciate and get that it can be done. This is by absolutely no means the largest, most intensive, nor most complex loadout I've done. I built 16 settlements up, including every single one of the Triangle of Death, and saved the blueprints with Transfer Settlements using over 220 mods. Sim Settlements, armor mods, body mods, quest mods, Beantown Interiors, Atomic World, Lexington Interiors-- a ton of things you have are things I either have or have had, and have had no problems with. I've modded it way beyond this time and time again, but every single attempt in the last six months has just been random crashes.

The Diamond City mods all work fine. I loaded them all up into a Profile, and I can get into Diamond City, save, reload, run into a building, save, exit, reload, etc.

Stuck all my building mods in a profile. Loaded that up just fine as well. No problems.

Uninstalling everything and testing everything one at a time has given me several false-positives. It's why the list is so small at this point, because anything that causes the issue I just immediately uninstall and continue along testing the rest of them. I have no confidence anymore that when I find one that's causing it that it's the actual problem, because I've had it reappear with so many different mods. Example:

Everything else is disabled. It won't load Diamond City. OK, easy, right? Just get rid of 3DNPC_FO4Settler.esp

Except, if I do that, I know from experience because I've been dealing with this absolute migraine for months, that it will happen again. And then I'll go do this all over again, and find some other mod, and uninstall that, and restart my game. I don't see anything on either mod page about it, but going to the UFO4P page to ask seems like a good way to get told it's absolutely any other mod but theirs. And in this journey of migraines, I've had false-positives several times where it's X mod, I take it off, and it's still happening. I've played with these two before with no problems. But short of someone on the 3dNPC page coming back to me or anyone else being able to verify this conflict, I'm back to exactly where I started of having no idea why this isn't working or how to even find out.

Try the base game files only. if it still does it with just the base game files then it might very well be an overheat issue. My game ran fine for over a year then everytime i tried to run it , it would crash. The cause of the issue was an update to the Nvidia control panel had reset the CPU cooling fan to only 180RPM

Just uninstalled everything with NMM, again. Once again, it loads fine. I save, close, and reload, and it's fine.

 

This is a mod conflict, there's absolutely nothing else it could be, but I have NO idea which one. No matter what I uninstall, it doesn't solve the issue. As shown, I've had it down to TWO mods, literally TWO, and it caused this exact crash. UFO4P and Settlers of the Commonwealth, neither of which have any such reported problems. Neither do any of the other mods I've identified to be "causing" this and subsequently uninstalled. My modded game used to be the bright spot of my week, now I'm honestly so depressed about this half the time I don't even fire up my PC. I had hopes one day of releasing my own city builds, but at this rate of failure, I don't want to play anything anymore.

Someone else pointed me at Fallrim Tools... I'm not sure why, as I have no idea what it does. I have it now, I guess? All they vaguely said was, "Examine your save." Yep, it's there. It still won't load after saving in Diamond City right across from the noodle stand, on a completely new save, with nothing but F4SE, UFO4P, Settlers of the Commonwealth, and now this tomfoolery.

Then someone else said go get Buffout 4. OK, fine. So I go download x86, x64, and ARM64 of the Microsoft Visual C++-- as Buffout 4 doesn't specify which you need-- and xSE Plugin Preloader F4, Address Library, and Buffout 4.

Game won't run at all now. HEADDESK Windows gives me the little circle like it's doing something for a second, and then nothing.

EDIT: Changed the Load Method in xSE Plugin Preloader. Loaded. This is what I get from the Buffout log when I try to load into the save inside Diamond City:
