Game keeps crashing - Not sure if mod problem

[AmKieran]

My game keeps crashing although it's not constant - I can play for about 5 minutes but it always seems to crash after a while. This is my load order. Please ask if you need additional information.

Firstly, your MMM files are out of order. Correct order is:

 

Mart's Mutant Mod.esm

.

Mart's Mutant Mod.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - DLC Anchorage.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - DLC The Pitt.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - DLC Broken Steel.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - DLC Point Lookout.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - DLC Zeta.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - Master Menu Module.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - Zones Respawn.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - Tougher Traders.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - Natural Selection.esp

ThePitt.esm should be above BrokenSteel. The Unofficial patch (there is an Updated version) should be just below Zeta.esm.

There is a MMM / DCInteriors patch, though it being missing will probably not cause many problems.

I personally put lighting and weather mods last in the load order.

Along with this, any mod with multiple plugins should be in the same order.

 

I suggest that you go back to the mod pages and read the complete page. I know that Fellout has instructions as to how to order the plugins. I think MMM also does.

Also, the Caravans part of EssentialFollowers+Caravans might conflict with MMM TougherTraders (I only say might - I don't use either mod). You can check for potential conflicts with FO3Edit. If after getting your load order sorted out you are still experiencing problems, turning off the three optional MMM modules is worth trying.

I fixed the load orders of a few mods based on what their pages say, as well as disabling the optional MMM's ones although I'm still getting crashes. Here is my updated load order:

I don't use RH_Ironsights but those modules look out of order as well. Try this order (taken from another thread):

 

RH_IronSights_Basic_VanillaPlugin.esp=1
RH_IronSights_Basic_AnchoragePlugin.esp=1
RH_IronSights_Basic_PittPlugin.esp=1
RH_IronSights_Basic_BrokenSteelPlugin.esp=1
RH_IronSights_Basic_PointLookoutPlugin.esp=1
RH_IronSights_Basic_ZetaPlugin.esp=1
RH_IronSights_Pitt_NewRifleSights.esp=1
RH_IronSights_RemoveReticule.esp=1
RH_IronSights_PL_NewItems.esp=1

 

There is also an Ironsights-WMK bridge which may help https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/6938?tab=files. This would go after the other Ironsights modules and after WMK. There is also this Ironsights-WMK plugin mod https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/13347?tab=files. I think you still need the bridge if you install this. You will have to read the relevant mod pages. WMK also has DLC modules and i have no idea if they would be needed if you have the ironsights-WMK bridge installed.

 

I can't see anything else obviously wrong in your load order so if you are still crashing you may need to look for other causes, like where the game is installed, .ini settings, whether you have FOSE installed etc..
