Fallout 3 crashes if I save during a mod-related quest.

Hi, my game ran PERFECTLY without mods on. I go to download some mods and then everything goes to hell. First my game crashes on startup, I fix it, then it crashes on save anywhere beyond 30 seconds running away from Springvale. What do I do?

My mods are as follows:

[x]Fallout3.esm 00

[x]Anchorage.esm 01

[x]ThePitts.esm 02

[x]Streetlights.esm 03

[x]BrokenSteel.esm 04

[x]PointLookout.esm 05

[x]Zeta.esm 06

[x]DCInteriors_ComboEdition.esm 07

[x]Ez0n3_Fallout3_MyMansion.esm 08

[x]Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch.esm (ufo3p for short) 09

[x]ufo3p-anchorage.esp 0a

[x]ufo3p-pitt.esp 0b

[x]ufo3p-Steel.esp 0c

[x]ufo3p-lookoutl.esp 0d

[x]ufo3p-zeta.esp 0e

[x]Ez0n3_Fallout3_MyMansion_Update.esp 0f

[x]UndergroundHideout.esp 10

[x]Fellout-Full.esp 11

[x]100% Force Lock Chance.esp 12

[x]MiniHideout.esp 13

I downloaded Fallout 3 Unofficial Patch but the installer cannot finish downloading, so I do not know if all my ufo3p stuff is valid. Please pay careful attention to the load order, as i noticed some things that may be issues in it. the primary things i am looking for here are A) What is the proper load order? B) Are there any mods here that are incompatible with another? C)Do I need to make a merged patch?

For load order you can use a tool called Boss or Loot. They help to get the load order working so you do not get a crash to desktop when the game launches and will also help with telling you if there are any issues to help fix problems such as if a mod needs cleaning or not to use this mod if using another mod, etc.

Does it only crash around Springvale if so than it is likely a mod conflict with a mod that also edits something in that area.

Also if the UFO3P did not download fully than that is likely a part of the issue. So what happens when you disable those plugins.

I never have used any of the fallout unofficial patches since I never really had any issues.

I copy pasted this from when i posted this on the nexus forums, back when i didnt know what my issue was. it has nothing to do with springvale. but if i am in the questline to get the key to the underground hideout or gain access to the mansion and i save my game (hardsave, i dont know how to quicksave), it crashes and makes a save file that is .(inster file extension here).temp

Is that your current load order?

Did you fix the issue with the unofficial patch not downloading fully. Having a mod that is not fully downloaded will cause problems since some of the files are missing information and when that happens the game crashes/glitches/bugs out.
