Crash when starting OWB

[Ge4ok]

Played 30 hours into one session without any mods. Tried starting OWB and the game just crashes.

Then installed many mods to stabilise the game, didn't work at all. OWB starts in a new game though. Pls help

The DLCs place additional requirements upon the vanilla game. Even without mods, it has numerous bugs (including how it handles "auto saves"), and I'm afraid 30 hours is not enough time to encounter most and especially not all of them. Additionally you don't need "many mods" to stabilize the game; only a few of the right ones. IF OWB starts in a "new game", then please accept that losing 30 hours is nothing and start over. Think of it as an opportunity to make some more informed initial choices. (You could easily spend more than 30 hours trying to recover that existing game as you don't have any real clues as to why it failed. Most likely you didn't know about something you needed in the basic setup and it didn't "bite you" until then.)

 

I recommend anyone read the entire "FNV General Mod Use Advice" article to understand the differences between this game and others you may have experience with; especially if this is your first attempt to play a modded FNV or it's been more than a year since you last did so. It is designed for someone who has never played a modded PC game before, so it tries to avoid making any assumptions, is kept "up-to-date", and covers years of "lessons learned". It has an "Essentials", "Towards Stability", as well as "Common Problems"sections.
