Approaching Sanctuary causes Crash to Desktop

@Arza Can you try the 3 steps I mentioned a few posts up?
 
@kinggath

1. Sent you my save file
2. Wen't as close as possible, fast traveled away and fast traveled directly to Sanctuary, only to crash upon loading screen completion as always.
3. I have so many mods lol I don't even wanna touch going back to vanilla right now haha. Unless there is a simple way to do it without screwing up my mod list.
 
If you're using NMM, expand the plugin tab and just uncheck them, after the test you can check them back in and load the save from before you did the test.
 
@kinggath

Okay so, I did that, only with the DLC plugins active and it let me fast travel /walk to Sanctuary and RR with no crash.
 
Ok, cool - so your save file is in good shape - which means we can get definitive confirmation if there's something I can fix!

Last test @Arza , can you load with just SS and the expansions (if you were using them)? Let me know if it crashes or not.
 
@kinggath

Haha, so, I loaded in with just SS and the expansions, as I had it, and whaddaya know, it crashed! Curiously, When I walked in, from outside, it let me walk in further, but alot of the things had not loaded, and alot of the houses were there blocky blurry unloaded form, theeeen it crashed. Also, going into building mode also caused a crash, as it did before.
 
Ok, hopefully I can replicate this on my machine - if so I should be able to solve this mystery. Thanks for crashing so many times for me! ; )
 
Glad I could be of help, hoping for the best! I've enjoyed this mod soooo much so far, you're doing such great work, even with the minor setbacks, it's just enthralled me. My goal is to raise a nation to rival the might of the NCR back west under the banner of the Brotherhood Of Steel! #RememberHelios
 
Just to add to this, I'm getting the same thing. Fast travelling to and/or walking into Sanctuary, I get a CTD.

1. I've tried without mods enabled, same crashes.
2. Walking as close to, fast travelling away, fast travelling back - same crashes.
3. I can fast travel to Hangman's Alley, which has Rise of the Commonwealth city manager set up in the same manner as Sanctuary, and that doesn't crash.
- 3b. I can walk to Red Rocket, but can't fast travel there. I haven't added anything to this settlement at all, so not sure if that's relevant or just that's it's close to Sanctuary. Indeed, it's almost before I walk out of Red Rocket toward Sanctuary that the crash occurs.

I'll upload the save file, if required (with this in mind, do you want mods disabled for any uploaded save files - bar official and SS esps/esms?)

I've tried the Fallrim tools, and am on 3.0.3b - the active scripts section has no SimSettlements scripts there.
 
@davsheep If the crashes are occurring without mods enabled, this is very likely a corrupt save issue. Though not always, sometimes your save becomes dependent on certain mods, for example the unofficial patch.

To test if Sim Settlements is causing the crash, try clean saving it out. Disable Sim Settlements, the expansions, and any add-on packs you have, then load your game and manually make a new save file. Now load that save file and see if the crashes still occur. If not, it was probably Sim Settlements and sending me your save file will be helpful. Also if it doesn't crash from there, you can re-install SS and play from there in that new save. This will reset your SS progress, but your save file will be restored to working order.

Most of the time though, when step 1 still crashes, the save file isn't recoverable. Though if you know it only happens in certain settlements, you can avoid those and finish the play-through that way.
 
Nah, it crashed even with the cleaned out save file. Pity, Sanctuary was coming along well. I suppose I'll avoid it in this playthough. And make Hangman's/Graygarden my main base - more central anyway!

Thanks for the assistance - and the mod for those involved! Best of luck.
Dave.
 
PM sent with save file. I wonder what is causing this bug for Sanctuary in particular. I worried that I left my power armor somewhere the settlers might build over it, but would that cause a glitch like this?

Click to expand...
No. Although you might have a time digging it out. hehe
 
Did we ever get a solve to this issue? im getting it on Xbox one with my sanctuary having recently notified me that it is ready for settlement upgrade
 
Hmm, I have some more information as I had the same crash. I decided to save and go to sanctuary every 30 min just to make sure I knew when it crashed. I went, and it did just as it was updating (I believe, since the zoom out affect was just being done.)
 
I am having the exact same issue, it only happened one Sanctuary got to level 1. Please help. Thanks
 
I have this too, and not just on Sanctuary, but also when I fast travel to tenpines bluff (which is still level 0). I also noticed that sometimes, (but not everytime) when I restart FO and choose continue, it will say my saved game is corrupt and I have to load a different save.

I'm on xbox tho, so this could be a totally different issue, but before the game crashes it will freeze and make a buzzing sound.
I will have to test if this still happens when I turn off using multiple threads , and autosave on travel.

There are so many things to do in this game, and having a job and a life is really not helping at all...
 
I have recently had this problem. Thing is, there were 15 mark trackers for plots waiting for upgrade, and when i put a toe on the bridge game freezed to 0/1 fps and crashed. Loaded an earlier save where there weren´t any plots waiting for upgrade and the crash didn´t appear. After that, tried again with the problematic save, but this time waited some minutes at the entrance before getting closer, and there were no crash.

Wonder if tweaking the multi treads options will help this

PS: I only have some plots for testing in Sanctuary, no city plan
 
Is there anyone for whom this mod is running flawlessly and they have completed a whole playthrough? If so I will keep trying to install and play again it's just it never bugs out until. I've got almost 20 hours or more into the game. At this point I have kinda just raged and unintstalled all Fallout stuff for the moment. I really want this to work. I only had like 10 mods. None of which shohds effect this one. Is this mod still being worked on. @kinggath or have the issues been resolved for most people, thanks.
