Unexpected CTD during the Unexpected Voyage mission : IV

» Thu Apr 14, 2016 12:52 am

Hi,

Now, I am experiencing constant CTD during the Unexpected Voyage mission in the Bloated Float.

After completing the mission and being prompted by the ship owner to retire to bed in order to return the ship back to the Imperial City, when I sleep, the sleep counter counts down to zero and the game ALWAYS CTD, with the message: "Oblivion.exe has stopped working", blah, blah...

After doing a modicum of research, I discovered that there's a well-known bug that if you have the Elven Maiden mission active at the same time as this mission, the game will CTD after time you complete the Bloated Float mission.

But this scenario isn't applicable to me, as I don't have that mission active.

Here's my mod list:

(PS: Man, these seemingly endless problems that I am encountering with my mod set-up is causing me to comtemplate uninstalling the game and giving up on it entirely: the stress and hassle is simply not worth it...)

» Wed Apr 13, 2016 6:39 pm

the onyl way is disabling half your mod list and seeing if you crash. Then start adding them all back until you find the culprit.

» Wed Apr 13, 2016 3:43 pm

It may be Better Cities. Try disabling it and see if it fixes the crash. I got a similar crash back when I was willing to brave the performance hit of BC.

» Wed Apr 13, 2016 10:10 pm

Thanks for both of your replies, but I am in mood to restart the protracted and convoluted process of uninstalling and reinstalling these bloody mods again; I will probably avoid this particular mission altogether if I don't have an adequate solution to this problem...

» Wed Apr 13, 2016 2:40 pm

I have Better Cities, and I did not encounter a crash like this. So it is not a Better Cities issue, but a mod interaction. Anything in your mod list that affects sleeping?

Also, after years of frustrating crashes, I have come to rely on the "less is more" approach to mods where game stability trumps the need to install every shiny mod. My mod list is still pretty extensive, but is composed of well-tested mods only.

» Wed Apr 13, 2016 3:35 pm

@anithinks Could you share your LO? Would love to compare

» Wed Apr 13, 2016 6:33 pm

Thanks for your input, anithinks. I can confirm that at one stage, I were using mods that affected sleep, but after discovering this problem, I proceeded to delete all mods that in anyway affected sleep. But the problem still remains
