Trying to find cause of CTD in world space

[wmdvanzyl]

I am experiencing CTD's in the world space around the NV Medical Facility / Crimson Caravan and generally that whole area on that side of The Strip. I noticed a half-finished race-track of some sort inside a newly fortified area that is still unpopulated at the back of the Medical Facility. I don't know which mod adds this. Any suggestions would help to narrow it down. If i know which mod, i can try to find the problem. Included below is my mod list.

*** edit: I have experienced crashes around Crimson Caravan, New Vegas Medical Facility, Sharecropper Farms and ESPECIALLY Freeside's East Gate. I am guessing one of those mods causes a problem in that cell around that gate, as it is in the middle of all these crashes. What could cause this and how can i try to find the culprit?

Anybody?

[Azrael120782]

Repop and Wasteland Defense or whatisitcalled are way out of date. nSkies should be on the lowest of the list

 

ESMs first

ESPs second.

Spawn mods just before weather.

Weather mods bottom

Hi Azrael. I will update those two. How do you personally keep your mods up-to-date? Do you just scour nexus everyday to look for updates? I use BOSS to autosort my mod list and that is what i get. I don't know why it puts nSkies up there. Thanks for the advice - will try it asap.

 

edit*** Ok, i had a look at what my merged patch included as masters and started by disabling those mods - it just makes sense to start with the things that causes conflicts. Through this process of elimination i found A World Of Pain to be the culprit. So i will be updating that and also starting a process of updating all my mods. Generally, i am sluggish in updating mods - both due to the time and the bandwidth requirements (go africa!!).

 

So to anyone else reading this trying to solve similar problems:

 

1) start looking at the mods that a merged patch patches

2) update your mods

Hello the racetrack is part of Run the Lucky 38.

 

It is removed in the newer version. Download the BETA for the most updated ESM to replace Run the Lucky 38.ESM. The ESM is the most updated, the included ESP contains the beta content (not necessary).

[wmdvanzyl]

Thanks you Paladin.

 

I will look into doing that. For now i can gladly report that it wasn't your causing the problems - it was an outdated version of AWOP. Will be sure to grab the newest EMS in any case.
