CTD when using Pipboy

[JordanJ]

Hi all,

 

In my latest Fallout 3 savegame, I would get CTDs every few hours--annoying, but nothing really game-breaking. Now, I've run into a problem: whenever I open my Pipboy (specifically, when I try to discard an item), I get a CTD. It only seems to happen when I open my Pipboy. I'm in Point Lookout, in Desmond's mansion, if that helps.

 

I've already tried verifying the game cache and defragmenting through Steam, installing FFDShow and disabling the game in it, installing the Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch and altering the .ini files in the game folder. No difference.

 

I have several mods installed. Some of them were installed with the Nexus Mod Manager and some were installed "manually" (unpacked and copied directly to the /Data folder) when, for one reason or another, the NMM wouldn't download them. I'm running the game through FOSE, which I've added to Steam for convenience. I've also been playing with the mods a fair bit in the NMM, uninstalling and reinstalling them, so maybe that upset the game somehow--I get a message that says "Some files may be missing" when I load my game, but I can't remember which mod it's referring to. Here's my load order, taken from FOMM:
