So something is wrong in my save that is causing MMM not to work correctly. Is it possible to fix something like this or am I doomed to starting over from scratch? I'm not sure I have the stomach for that.

Possibly. Send me your savegame, I should be able to work out pretty quickly if it's in your save. If it is, and cleaning the savegame from (any) mod doesn't work, unfortunately there may not be much we can do.

EDIT: Of the Feral Ghoul test you're using, that'll be easiest for me to test with.

Broken Steel is to blame for that. Beth screwed up and the Enclave appears too early as random spawns.

My load order always almost the same- I preserve it on the disk with help of FOMM

Today I plan to visit Jury station, will see

Also, above, what files are these? I searched for nexus but couldnt find them. I'd like to use the TUPAM power armors, but they seem not well balanced. ^_^

Hm jury station is still acting wrong in my game. The raiders shouldnt spawn on top of each other all at the door. I'll test it out again.

Well, it is definitely MMM not working with my save anymore. I loaded a save from right before I left the Vault 101 cave with my current pared down load order and used TMM 1, TGM and SETGS FMOVERUNMULT 10 to quickly visit some areas. I fast traveled to L'Enfant Plaza and there were numerous super mutants. I didn't count but I'm guessing more than 40 in the entire area. Oddly enough, there were no Talon mercs near the Irradiated Metro entrance, but I'm guessing this is because it is a level 1 character fresh out of Vault 101 that hasn't gotten a contract out on them yet?

I also fast traveled to Pennsylvania Avenue metro entrance where the big fight happens. There was again six brotherhood defending the barricade and about 10 super mutants attacking it. The seating area around what ends up being the entrance that leads to the airforce base and presidential metro and such was not there yet, but maybe it doesn't appear until later?

Anyway, I ran to the other side of the area to where the diner and metro central entrance are. It was now populated with 10 or so super mutants, no behemoth though (level 1 thing again I'm assuming). Then I went down into metro central...and hahaha, let me tell you that Feral Ghoul Rampage was again working. Heh. I couldn't even begin to count how many there were down there. I'd guess hundreds? Again packing all levels of the multi-level area too.
