xPsykes Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) It was Start me Up... I was using the Normal vers, I removed it Edited August 15, 2020 by xPsykes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucidLady Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 You've pasted your load order upsidedown which is fairly confusing. @_@ Anyhoo, first and foremost - the basics. How many saves do you have in your save folder?How many saves for different characters?You want to only have about 10 saves for ONE character at a time in your saves folder.The rest you should move to a separate backup save folder you create yourself, wherever you want. Or delete them. That aside, i'm suspicious of your Start Me Up mod. Try disabling that one and see if it works.The Extended Dialogue Interface mod is also extremely problematic and old. It needs a remake. You may be missing a patch for it, make sure you have everything related to that mod. If none of that helps, I also point the finger at the UFO4Patch.You have a lot of mods. The UFO4Patch becomes much more problematic than anything if you've got more than a dozen or so mods. It should not be installed as a baseline.If you encounter a bug that you dislike in the game, you should install a fix-it mod for that specific mod on an individual basis (and flag it as esl).I think i've been through like 4 threads exactly like yours this week, and in every single one of them removing UFO4Patch helped.

xPsykes Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 I removed UFO4Patch and still had the issue but I had re-enabled Start me Up so Idk if it's that too so I will disable both and test again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucidLady Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 When preston says "Anyways, i'm glad you're here", it's normal for him to take a long pause.What's actually happening during that pause is - something is happening over at Tenpines Bluff. Someone's getting kidnapped or ghouls are givin' them trouble or Corvega's being a pain.The pause can be quite long. A solid minute or more sometimes. I'm not sure how long you're giving Preston - but try just waiting a minute or two. If he never speaks up again, try going to Tenpines Bluff first, and kill the settlers before talking to Preston. Aside from that - your load order is not how i'd personally do it.I've been posting in another thread where load order was the problem. I'll link you to it -https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/9003868-fallout-4-inconsistent-ctds/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPsykes Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) Mod order was sorted by LOOT but I'll try to sort it your way, after killing the settlers Edited August 15, 2020 by xPsykes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucidLady Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I figured that was the case.LOOT cannot be trusted if you have anywhere near 100 mods enabled.If you have more than a dozen or so mods, you need to sort your load order yourself.
