Hi i have played so far over 55h plus hours of this game and really enjoyed it!

But ever since i discovered Nuke world area. i am unable to return back to sancuary eiether by travelling by foot or fast travel.

When i try to fast travel there the game instantly crashes and when i go on foot and reach close-by sancuary, it crashes!

The only mods i have are some graphical improvement mods and the unofficial patch mod.

This all started to crash etc when i took on a mission in nuke world to clear out this nuke world theme park where i had to find a number of computer core circuits to install in the mainframe panel.

I am running this game on an ssd drive and a 2080ti card
 
Could be a mod conflict or a corrupt save.

Doesn't sound like a mod conflict if only using the unofficial patch and basic texture mods, and a load order issue caused by just the UOP would have showed up earlier.

Best suggestion would be to try an older save game file.

If you really want to keep your current save game file, there are some tools for clearing out scripts and the like that may have gone wrong or been leftovers from a mod change midway through a playthrough.

Results can be mixed and be prepared for unwanted surprises later on in the game if you do decide to use a save cleaner tool.
The mods i am using are below:

  • vivid fallout rocks
  • true storms wasteland edition v1.4.1
  • Unofficial fallout 4 patch
  • Enhanced Lights and FX

When i disable all of the mods, going into sanchuary works!

if i enable "any of the mods on its own it instantly crashes in sanchuary?!?!?
 
How come it was all working previously?

Its as soon as i entered nuke world and activated this specific quest telling me to clear out multiple areas made me not able to return to the sanctuary.

I'm level 37 and been playing for close to 60h with the listed mods from day one
 
Sorry, I did try to be very concise, but I don't think I'm getting through here.

Please refer to the mod pages for any support and instructions, which is usually to a high level with Bethesda games.
I am just wondering why it worked perfectly for over 60h of gameplay and now it does not and its specifically just sanchuary i cannot enter using any mod.

very weird. im lost on what caused this issue

what mod manger u using

fallout 4 vortex
 
The game ran fine before.

The only thing that has changed is the save file.


The save file came in contact with an expansion.

All mods are now causing a crash under specific circumstances.


The problem is likely to be how the expansion affects certain attributes in the save file that the mods are no longer compatible with.

The solution would be to either change the save file or something related to the mods.
How do I change a save file?
 
IF you have the time switch to mod organizer 2 I find it much better it makes a virtual folder when you run it with the mods in so cannot mess up fallout 4 and makes turning mods on and off much better.

Another thing I see you have a 2080ti you have weapon debris turned off as that is know to crash fallout 4 with 2080's and always for me around sancuary
O ok I'll check out how to turn on weapons debris, I assume that's in the graphics settings of the game
 
Do a clean save as set out in #6.

If that doesn't fix it, use the Resaver function from the linked utility in post #2.

If still nothing, revert to an older save game or continue without mods.


The above assumes the game files have been verified through Steam, Nexus Mod Manager (Vortex) is correctly set up and has properly auto-sorted and updated all the mods. I'm also assuming the latter is dilligently created given the experince they must have picked up over the years, but some things still end up requiring manual intervention in the complex situations that these mods tend to create. Looking through the individual mod pages becomes necessary at that point.

I always used Wrye Bash to manually set up all my mods and auto-check my save files for dependencies, so can't provide any personal insight into how well Nexus Mod Manager works.
Brilliant thanks I'll try these suggestions also

By clean save do u mean starting the whole game from scratch?!?

I practically been playing with these mods since day one really and i will be royally ****** if i had just wasted 60h+ playing it all for it to break and crash on me all of a sudden :(

anyways i tried that clean save tool and cleaned out by removing unattached instances and now the game crashes randomly every 20mins or so at random times/points of the game .
Yes its in there its a known problem lots of 2070 cards and up have the problem as they havn't updated the physics calls in the games and they never will

Tried this in conjustion of cleaning the save file and getting crashes even more?
