Load orders and CTDs : Fallout 3

» Wed Aug 10, 2011 7:49 am

Just did a mass install, everything worked great for about five minutes, CTD. For the record, when I installed everything, I did so with FOMM, and whenever I was asked about overwriting files, I sort of just went with whatever made the most sense. I may or may not have made a mess of it. Oh well, here's my load order:

Thanks in advance for whatever advice you can give.

There are some problems with your load order so let's try to get some of that sorted out.

You're missing FO3 Wanderers Edition - Project Beauty.esp from the FOIP pack and it's needed for compatibility between PB and FWE.

You're also missing Mart's Mutant Mod - FWE Master Release.esp from the FOIP package as well. It's the primary patch for FWE and MMM. You'll still need Marts Mutant Mod - FWE Master Release + DLCs.esp and Marts Mutant Mod - FWE Master Release + Project Beauty.esp loaded (which you have already). When you have that loaded you can drop...

Marts Mutant Mod - Tougher Traders.esp
Marts Mutant Mod - Natural Selection.esp
Marts Mutant Mod - Project Beauty.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - FWE Master Release.esp contains all those and MMM options are now configurable in-game via menu.

It'd be best to be running only one major weather overhaul instead of two. You need to make a choice between Fellout and Dynamic Weather; I'd go Dynamic Weather all the way but that's me

You'll still need resources and a couple of plugins from Enhanced Weather, mainly Enhanced Weather - Rain and Snow.esm if you want to use Dynamic Weather's rain. The only other Enhanced Weather plugins that are compatible and can be used with DW are...

Enhanced Weather - Weather Sounds in Interiors.esp
Enhanced Weather - Radioactive Rain and Snow Plugin.esp

DO NOT use any other Enhanced Weather plugin especially not Enhanced Weather - Sneak Bonus during Storms.esp as Xephas Dynamic Weather - Dynamic Sneak Bonus.esp takes care of that.

Those are some of the problems I see so get your load order sorted and see how the game does then

That seemed to fix it up. 20 minutes in and no CTDs. Thanks a million
