How to get this mod setup to work?

[Moon_Dew]

Okay, I think that, instead of putting everything together and try to fix all of the inevitable errors, I think it would be better to discuss the mod set-up I'm wanting to use first.

Here's the list of mods I'm hoping to use.

EMP Weapons

Do any of these mods clash with other? Do some of these mods need mods I don't have? Will those additional mods clash with the mods on the list?

I know this is a lot, but it's still under the hard plugin limit, and I managed to get Skyrim working with about this many mods, if not more (albiet with duplicate item crafting recipes), so I'm not too concerned about this many mods not working.

Okay, let's hammer out the details and then the mod-order should be easy as cake (knock on wood)



I was recently informed that several of the quest mods affect the same area and may conflict, which ones are those?

The game's crashing before I'm even getting to the main menu, what's going on?

Oh, and before anyone says anything, this list was sorted using LOOT, not BOSS, simply because LOOT is the program currently being constantly updated, while BOSS had pretty much been abandoned, so let's not talk about how I should be using the out of date BOSS.

 

[Lexx]

I'll doubt anyone can really help you with it, as probably nobody is going to search & download all your above mentioned mods just to try it out. If you have any problems with your mods it is usually the best way to disable them all- and then enable them one by one until the problem appears again. This way you can find out which one of the mods is generating the problem. If you want to speed up this process, you disable half of the mods and see if the problem is gone. If it is gone, you enable half of the remaining mods, then again half of the remaining mods, etc. etc.

But beside this, the above is a fucking huge list. Does Fo3 even run with so many mods enabled?

 

[Moon_Dew]

Well, the hard limit's 255, so it can, at least in theory. And I'm not asking people to search and download the mods, just to look through the list for any that may or may not be problematic.

 

[Warhawk]

Was under the impression that weapons mods were not terribly compatible. FWE conflicting with RH and so on. A multitude of add-on kits and individual guns also messes with that. I've never used more than one gun mod at a time as a result. I think there was some attempt at merging several kinds together, but I doubt they got 'all' of the ones on your list.

 

[BuffHamster]

Being a Fo3 mod list, what Warhawk says is true, Lexx gave you a suggestion for disabling half the mods to see if the game CTD occurs, but you can use Warhawk's suggestion in combination: disable all the weapon mods except one and re-enable them one by one,

... or use this: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/637/? a help guide for the FO3Edit program is here: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/8629/?

Fo3 Edit is an extremely useful tool for searching out mod conflicts. It also enables you to create a "merged patch" once you have created a working mod list. A merged patch helps minimize crashing. Other useful programs are FOSE (which you more than likely have already) and the "large address aware" program: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/6510/?

other useful utilities:
http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/20107/?

http://fose.silverlock.org/

Although LOOT is good, I think there is a newer BOSS system that works very well for both Fo3 and F:NV here: https://github.com/boss-developers/boss/releases/tag/v2.3.0

Hope this helps you out.

Just by looking I can see your load order is screwed. Did you just install all of these at once and hope they worked? Using LOOT or BOSS doesn't make the load order foolproof. Best way to install mods is one at a time. I would start from scratch as others have suggested. I think I see some that are missing patches, probably missing required files, LOOT hasn't been used as long so it may not be as up to date, so many things to go over there.
