Game crashing after being initiated into Dark Brotherhood

[criegler]

I'm at the point on the questline where I've killed Rufio, and I need to sleep so that Lucian will come and initiate me into the Dark Brotherhood. My issue is that no matter where I sleep, the game crashes as soon as I try to leave the building. I believe I'm having the same issue as this person:

I've attached my mod list from Wrye Bash below. I've not downloaded any mods that affect the dark brotherhood questline - what could be causing this?? If the quest is corrupted or something is there any way to fix it? I accepted the initiation quest right at the beginning of the game so I can't really load from an earlier save..

What do you use to sort your mods?

Took a look at MessageLogger?

[Guest deleted55763432]

it seems, that the problem is about better cities mod, having the same issue here, trying to resolve the problem right now

[VaultNinja]

For anyone experiencing this problem, here's a possible work around that seemed to fix it for me:

 

Don't exit your current location. Instead jump to your next objective using the console command "coc cheydinhalabandonedhouse", then proceed to the sanctuary in the basement. This will skip any exterior locations that trigger the crash. Once you talk to Ocheeva, the quest completes, and clears out whatever script is bugging out.
