Question Mole Rat Den Crashing on Save and Infinite loading while exiting.

[Porthosl2fx]

As the title says when i save inside the Mole Rat den bellow the Red Rocket in Sacntuary my game crashes, also when i try to exit it the game goes into the infinite loading bug. At first i thought it was Conqueror but it still happens with Conqueror disabled. However when i disable the SS .esm file the game behaves normally again.

I use fo4edit to fix my load order, no major conflicts detected.

i am not sure that amending virus scanning in that way is a good idea.

i am not sure that amending virus scanning in that way is a good idea.

Disabling virus scanning on particular files that you know you can trust is fine and in some instances, absolutely necessary.

again, i would massively disagree with that advice.

for me it was when running conqueror then it happens. without conqueror and 6 or 7 faction packs on nexusmod, molerat den under red rocket has no issue.

Since it seems to be related to big save files or something similar, I think prebuilt settlements are making it happen sooner.

i don't know if save file size is a contributor. where did you see that?

 

[m&m]

DON'T do this if you use MO2, srs.

I use Vortex but as a matter of curiosity, why do you stress this?

update 4:
I now have only minutemen faction pack installed, removed the other 5. there is no molerat den problem. But I only ran this test once. I think I will just go with this game set up for now.

update 3:
my save file is creeping up to 40mb, it is at 39.8 mb.
There was a thread in march with people saying anything near 40 or above the game craps out. This must be it. Another good mod concept defeated by shitty Bethesda engine

update 2:
spoke too soon, the stupid game locks up more than it doesn't after numerous tries. with even less mods too.

however, with conqueror installed, it happens right away i suppose. But I dont remember molerat problems before sim settlement. too much strain on this shitty engine.

update:
well I cleared up my sim settlement related mods. removed pretty much all add ons except mega packs and leader mods. Now i can complete red rocket molerat den with conqueror installed.

Im not sure if its part of the "Starlight Drive In" cityplan but there was a frozen molerat. (I thought it was just for decoration) After killing this one I was able to complete Shamrock Taphouse quest. After thatI tried "Hidden Vault 81" but again, quicksave did not work. Why? Of course, the molerat at Starlight Drive In was back^^ Killing this one again... no issues in Vault 81.
I dont know yet if this also works in similar situations like hidden Skorpions in Vault 88 and so on...
