Fallout 4 Crash every time I go near certain places

[rowlando]

I am concerned one of my mods may be causing my game to crash when I try to complete the quest for helping the settlers in Tenpines Bluff, basically when I go anywhere near the quest challenge to destroy the raiders for the settlers the game crashes I have been able to get as far as Starlight Drive Inn but as soon as I go further the game crashes without any warnings.

 

Any suggestions please I use Vortex, I believe it could be a mod but don't know how to find out.

 

Cheers Rowyn

you need to take this to the fallout 4 forum itself. just because you use vortex doesn't mean the root cause of your issue is vortex.

@ rowlando .... I do not believe it is Vortex but some mods in your load order that are causing the issue.

 

Yesterday I started a new game ( fresh ) fallout4 precisely because my game was crashing when approaching workbenches in my home settlement and this was something it never happened before ( ? ) .... I was completely clueless till I decided to start reading ( trying to find clues ) all description and posts from evey single mod that I thought had something to do with that issue.

 

I found the culprit and got rid from those mods forever. Do yourself a favor : read the post of every single mod you got in your game that you think may be the issue and believe me, it won't be that easy to find out because it could be anything, from a mod map, color, armor, weapon, textures, etc to anyother thing that is applying while you are approaching Tempines Bluff. Think about it and you will find out.

 

Story short : after I restarted my new game without those mods, problem has been solved. You will be very surprise if I tell you what mods are, it will be a fallout in Nexus if I point the finger to the mod that was the major problem in my load order. Read and you will find out.

Well post a list of the mods you have.

I am reading through the plugins list and a lot of those are not active in vortex so perhaps I need to do something prior to post the list up any suggestions

[HadToRegister]

You're using Spring Cleaning with Scrap Everything for one.

You have to use one or the other, NOT BOTH.

I would remove Spring Cleaning, but you'll have to start a new game.
Spring Cleaning hasn't been updated in a couple of years

[rowlando]

Ok I removed that can you see anything else before I try a new game. Disappointing to do that but its worth it to play the game fully cheers

[sopmac45]

For the amount and variety of your mods list, I can tell that you are new to modding and you have a long way to go to have a stable game. I am not saying that you cannot have that amount of mods in your game, but you have to have experience and know how to use FO4Edit to do some patches and make your game works with such amount of mods.

 

I remember the first time I modded Fallout4, I installed 136 mods and that was 3-4 years ago. A couple of days ago, I started a new game with 46 mods. Because I have been learning thru all these years, and because I know how to create my own mods and because I exactly know how I want to play my game, is that I only have exactly what I cannot mod in my game and go with it. Again, that is just me. The game already have everything in it. I just need a few to enhance some things or to add some things the game does not provide that often. I remember when I played this game in PS3, I did not have any mod and it was fun. Obviously, when you play it in PC, you want to have mods but honestly and let's get real, we do not need that many. I came to realize this after too many years modding this game and I am still learning.

 

You have a lot of mods and mods that I have never seen in my life. One thing I would recommend you to do, is to DEFINE yourself about how do you want to play your game. Fallout 4 is merely a survivor game but you can play it by leaning toward certain areas more than others. If you prefer to build settlements, then go with those mods. If you prefer just to use it as a first shooting game, go with spawning mods and weapons, etc, etc. Once you define yourself, then go with those mods and try them out. I would recommend just to download a few. Why ? Because it is a pain to start a new game by having to re-install 250 mods agains. Because it will easier for you to find out which mod (s) is (are) causing CTD.

 

And there is something else and please, do not take it bad : not one will be able to tell you or find out for you what the problem is with your game. Why ? Because the only way for somebody to really help you, is for that person to download all of your mods in his/her PC, play with them, find the culprits and tell you how to fix it. Question ? Do you think that somebody will do that for you ? Not one my friend.

 

HadToRegister already told you about Spring Cleaning. I can guarantee you that even if you remove that mod completely from your game and reinstall all of the mods again, you will have another problem created by another mod or mods. A perfect game does not exist in the first place and the game engine sucks. So, yes, we can tell you, this mod or that mod are not good mods, but again, even if you remove them, you might end up with other problems. That is why my recommendation, before installing too many mods, is to go from simplicity to complexity. From a few to a lot. From very well and endorsed mods to others nobody even know they exist.

 

Read the mod description, read the mod posts ( this is very important ) because in that section you will find out what other users found out about the mod. Try with a few and add more as you feel secure with what you have. Learn to know the mods you are playing with, this is super important because it will give you a heads up on what to expect from that particular mod and do not forget, to define your game personality because everything else depends on it. Good luck.

[HadToRegister]

FWIW, Tenpines Bluff was ALWAYS the Game Killer for me.

No matter which mods I used, I would get that dreaded "Help Ten Pines Bluff" and 9 times out of 10, that would be the settlement that would CTD whenever I went near it.

I think there's something wrong with that area that Bethesda still hasn't fixed
