Fallout 3 crashes when I try to start it up : Fallout 3

So I finally decide to play Fallout 3 after a while. I decided to download a few overhaul mods this time around. It crashes whenever try to load it up. Here's my load order

Go over the readme's again. You've got some things that shouldn't be there... example:

FO3 Wanderers Edition - Optional Restore Tracers.esp

FO3 Wanderers Edition - Optional Restore Tracers (automatics only).esp

and

Mart's Mutant Mod - FWE Master Release.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - FWE Master Release + DLCs.esp

Pick only one of each of these ^

Mart's Mutant Mod - Natural Selection.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - Tougher Traders.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - Zones Respawn.esp

IIRC, FWE readme says that these should not be loaded with FWE because it is already included- in the FOIP I guess- and configurable within FWE in-game menu. I myself am a bit confused here because with the latest FWE, MMM and FOIP files, the FWE menu does not detect MMM and hence can not configure it. The MMM menu works though...

You also have no merged patch.

I haven't used Fellout, so can't comment on any probs with that.

I've recently reinstalled FO3 as well... so far it's quite stable. So, in case it helps, here's my load order (I think I got everything right! :whistling:), also with MasterUpdate applied:
