Game breaking crash

[Zeph101]

Normally I wouldn't bother people by asking for help but I'm at my wits end trying to figure out what exactly the problem is. My game occasionally crashed before but nothing too serious, however now I've run into a crash that won't let me proceed no matter what I do.

It happens when I enter the DC Ruins for the first time and meet Lyons' squad. Once I enter Chevy Chase, it crashes. I load a save from 10 hours ago in the wasteland, go all the way through the metro tunnels again and, it crashes. I fast travel from just outside DC to Minefield, sleep in a bed in one of the houses for a week, go through the tunnel again, enter Chevy Chase and, it crashes.

 

I've used fo3edit, fo3masterupdate and BOSS with no indicators of any conflict. I've even entered another part of DC through Tepid Sewers, going to new buildings added by both AWOP and DC Interiors. So it's not a problem with DC as a whole, just with the Chevy Chase area when doing the early mission. I've got no idea which mod is causing this so I was hoping anybody here could help before I start removing mods one by one.

 

Here's my load order:

Fallout3.esm

Anchorage.esm

The Pitt.esm

Street Lights.esm

Broken Steel.esm

Point Lookout.esm

Zeta.esm

CRAFT.esm

CALIBR.esm

EnhancedChildren.esp

Not an expert, and it may not even be the cause of your problem, so take this input with a large grain of salt.

 

But, I do note that you have one esp (EnhancedChildren.esp) mixed in amongst the esms, and my (limited) understanding is that this is almost always a bad thing.

You are missing some compatibility patches. Mainly, Fallout Remastered - EVE. You should also checked Blackened http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/18173 for any necessary patches.

Thanks for the replies but I've changed things to no avail. I removed EnhancedChildren.esp and AdoptBryan.esp. That didn't work, still crashed at Chevy Chase but no where else.

 

And thanks for the link M48A5 but the same problem persists along with some new ones.

I followed extensively the instructions given by both Paradox and Remastered, using version 1 of the Paradox esp for EVE. However, afterwards my game would freeze at start-up, it would play the music and background animation but would not respond to any key presses. After un-checking the Remastered plugin, that problem was gone. I have no idea why it didn't work since I swear I followed the instructions correctly.

 

I even added Mart's Mutant Mod (following the instructions for which version) so I could use the Blackened FWE+MMM+EVE+ProjectBeauty.esp, but that still did nothing. It still still crashed at Chevy Chase but no where else. :(

Move the DLCs above 'Street lights.esm'. Long shot, but it might work.
