Only the ones with an asterisk in front of them are activated.

Why do you keep posting the plugins list with all of the inactivated plugins too?

Once again, removing the ones that aren't activated gives you this:

hi,

 

to make this easier for everyone, put your load order between quote tags, like this;

[ quote ]

your load order goes here

[ /quote ]

 

remove the spaces from between the [ and ] tags and you'll be good.

 

some questions for you;

 

i see from your latest load order that the unofficial fallout 4 mod is now enabled. did you start a new game for this load order? as i suggested yesterday, you should not enable/disable/enable that mod and continue with your current game, because that game will, at some point, break to the point where it is unusable. fallout4 is not designed to allow mods to be enabled/disabled and not have a detrimental effect on your save game.

 

so to clarify - did you start a new game, when you enabled the unofficial fallout 4 patch? clarify that point for me please, so we can move on.

Next up - has that load order been sorted by LOOT? The reason I'm asking is because right at the bottom I can see BetterSettlersNoLollygagging before BetterSettlers, and I think that BetterSettlers, being the main mod needs to go before the NoLollygagging mod as that's an optional file enabled by the installer? It probably won't break your game, but it doesn't look absolutely correct to me. It might be worth you asking the mod author if that order is acceptable or not.

Did you update Amorsmith and Armorkeywords to the current versions? I see another one Armorsmith All DLC's in there - I don't use those mods at all, but I am not sure if Amorsmith All DLC's is required - if it is required, then again, is it updated to the absolute latest version?

 

Other than those questions, it all looks okay to me - its mostly texture mods and I don't believe they need to be pedantially ordered.

 

what happens if you start a new game with that load order installed? Does your game work - can you get past the point where you previously had a CTD?

 

If you still get the CTD's then you may need to disable all mods, except for the Unofficial Fallout 4 patch, and see if you can get past the point of your CTD. If you can, then a process of elimination will need to take place. By that, I mean you will need to enable your mods, one at a time, until you track down the mod that is causing your CTD, and then you will need to remove it from your load order completely.

 

If I were you, and having to go through the painful process of elimination, I would start by enabling Armorsmith and Armorkeywords first, as these mods are very large and change a lot of things. If you can get them enabled and no further CTD's then it's simply a case of enabling your remaining mods, one at a time.

 

Do this and let me know how you get on.

Ok got it with the display of load order i.e ones with an asterisk.

 

Got for the quote's that will help with understanding.

 

[ so to clarify - did you start a new game, when you enabled the unofficial fallout 4 patch? clarify that point for me please, so we can move on.]

 

The answer I have not started a new game as yet.

 

I working on the rest of the questions, thanks very much for your feedback, I will post after checking through things.
