Games Crashes when trying to activate an Armor Workbench

[duckyduckyquackquack]

Since the last game update I'm now having an issue in game, where if I try to use any Armor Workbench the game instantly crashes to the desktop. All other workbenches work fine I can use Weapons, Power Armor, Cooking, Chemisty, Settlement etc all without issue, but touch an Armor Bench and crash city. I'm not even sure where to begin looking for the culprit in my load order:

If anyone has any suggestions I'd be really grateful to know how to fix this.

You know, you can get rid of ALL of those Crafting Mastery ESPS if you download one of the OPTIONAL Files instead, because the Mod Author has merged them all together in different Combinations.

There's Combo 1, Combo 2, Combo 3 , and Combo 4
Pick which Combo fits your installation, Uninstall Crafting Mastery, and Install the Combo instead.

The Mod page could be a little clearer on that, but anyway, it will save you a bunch of esp slots.

Deleted; as it can't be the same problem, since you can open all the other workbenches.

Think I've fixed it by trial and error disabling and loading the game and trying to access a armor bench. Seems like the the offending mods for me are:

 

Concealed Armors

Concealed Armor Season Pass AWKCR 3.x.x compability patch

 

I'm wondering if it's because they contain an ArmorKeywords.esm replacement file that's older then the current standalone Armor Keywords Mod, which they overwrite then because Vortex offers you know way of excluding that file from being installed and subsequently mods that look for and require the newer Armor Keywods file can't find it because Concealed Armors has overwritten it. I'm even more surprised that Vortex doesn't even offer a warning that this is what will happen when you install the mod.

Glad you solved the case. ^^ But in fact, Vortex SHOULD tell you that there was a conflict. There are those messages on an orange background telling you that there is a conflict. There's also those "lightning" icons, which are red, if you got an unsolved conflict. Okay, Vortex doesn't force you to make a decision or take any action - which might be subject to discussion. But the warnings ARE there. From my experience, Vortex is absolutely reliable in this respect.

[duckyduckyquackquack]

I think the problem was that after installing the mods one of those screens popped up that said a file had been changed outside of Vortex, possible as I think I download Armor Keywords via the in game mod menu rather then nexus and vortex. So when installing Concealed Armor it didn't warn about the conflict and instead choose to load the ArmorKeywords.esm from Concealed Armor over the one already in my data folder. This then broke several of my other installed mods that require the later version of Armor Keywords.
