CTD Approaching Sanctuary

[j3ssential]

Apologies if there is information anywhere else, I searched high and low but could only find information regarding SS1, and none of the fixes/workarounds/commands for that work.
Basically, my game has been stuck on plotting the future since launch, even through all of the betas, but the 1.0.1 release finally fixed it! I restarted the questline and was doing it from Sunshine Tidings Co-Op, and decided to go around to all of my settlements and build them up with city planner desks. However, as I approached Red Rocket and Sanctuary, I CTD every single time. I am unable to fast travel to either settlement, and while I can wander Concord just fine and get fairly close to RR, I am unable to get to what I am assuming is the Sanctuary loading barrier (about halfway up the road to RR), this includes also the direction from Abernathy. I was able to make it into the RR garage by running all the way from Abernathy before everything finished loading, but it CTDd once everything did.
I should note, also: everything else is working swimmingly in every single other settlement that I've come across.
Thanks so much for all of the help!

So i have been having this problem in my last 2 saves and from what im hearing there is no real fix to this power grid issue. I need to use the tool in the settlement and i cant enter the settlement on these saves. For me its Red rocket that seems to be the problem. Its a real bummer crashing is killing my enthusiasm for this game i came back for SS2 but im a modaholic that doesnt know how to quit.

Have you read this?

Next I would post your load order/list of mods. Maybe someone can spot a conflict for you.

Hi guys, having the same constant CTD near Covenant. So sad that i was happy to learn about that pinned post about clearing settlement but when i tried none of the option seems applicable, now i understand it was for SS1.

So after all this long , is there exact solution to this ? Im not tech savvyy i cant really understand the previous technical screenshots

That was totally it!

Now it was able to finish rebuilding the plan while I was standing in the settlement without crashing.

p.s.: Although I don't know how I would have been able to run this without entering the settlement (which I was only able to do after messing with the save manually)

how do you get cpg command ? when i tried your command it says not found

They are using a mod Power Grids tools or something, it was linked earlier in the conversation in post #12.
