Can't play with Dust mod?

Dust mod problem

I have all the stuff installed and I used LOOT to make sure the load order is right but it keeps getting stuck at the main menu, won't let me exit or anything.

Please work through the 'Solutions to Starting the game problems', and the 'Solutions to "Crash To Desktop" (CTD) problems' sections in the wiki "Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting" guide.

If the problem persists, please see the 'First Timer Advice' section; and the 'Common Game Problems' section of the wiki "FNV General Mod Use Advice" article.

 

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 is NOT a list of various mods to install that happen to work on the author's machine. It addresses fundamentals underlying how to get the basic game and mods to work together.

I had the same problem and was caused by one particular .esp that conflicted with Dust. I recommend unticking one .esp and booting the game up to narrow down which one. Start with .esps which aren't Dust related. Tunnelers.esp might be a good start.
