Question [Workshop Plus] Crash as soon I open workshop menu

Okay so I have tried literally everything. I disable all my settlement mods, and enabled them all one at a time to make sure none are conflicting with each other and none are causing this crash. As soon as I enable Workshop Plus and try to open the workshop menu I get an instant crash to my desktop, no error codes, nothing just kicks me desktop. The worst part is I love this mod, I've used it for so long, but after I updated it and Workshop Framework along with Sim Settlements (all my mods including F4SE are up to date) it will instantly crash my game... Like I said, I've had it working before and its really hard to not use this mod because it just so good. And to add a couple more points:

Yes I made sure this loads after workshop framework, I also tried loading it before, still crashes.
I verified all my game files and they are good
All of my mods are up to date including this one and Workshop Frame
 
Have you tried a cut-down Loadorder?

* Workshop Framework
* Workshop Plus
 
Do you mean just load those two? If yes, yes I have once I realized that workshop plus was giving me the issue, I made a new save and only loaded those two mods, disabled all others, and only loaded those two and still got an instant crash.
 
Okay, this is weird. I am going to assume that you have made absolutely certain that your mod-organizing software (NMM, Vortex, MO2, whatever) has actually installed the mod and enabled it properly.

This is the point where I’d step further back and try some things:

1/ verify files on steam - because it sounds like something base-game has gotten corrupted

If it still crashes after trying the above:

2/ update graphics drivers - sounds weird, that could be part of the issue

Final resort (I’ve had to do it myself):

3/ completely uninstall Fallout 4, completely delete the install directory, and reinstall the game - then download and reinstall all mods from scratch
 
Yes I have verified my files, it was one of the first things I did, even before trying to find what mod was causing the crash. I just updated my graphics drivers. This only started happening when I updated workshop plus, is there anyway I could go to an older file to see if that fixes it before completely starting from scratch, I don't mind doing that but I would definitely take some time so I'm trying to avoid that at all costs.
 
Okay update, I got it working, but the only way it works is if I disable everything it does in game using the Mod Config menu. So it's like it doesn't work, but that tells me one of the settings in this is causing it. My guess is it's conflicting in someway with NAC X. As I recently installed that and I've only had these issues since I installed that (but when i first installed it I had no issue, I could open and close my settlement menu as much as I wanted? so like wtf) for compatibility with my ENB. If it comes down to it I'll get rid of it and just deal with incompatible weather and effects mod. Whats funny is I know NAC X uses it own weather and I even disable the clear weather in the mod config and it still crashes...
 
Glad that you figured it out.

Yeah I absolutely could not see how WS+ would have an issue in just a two-mod list. It was like “something *must* have gotten corrupted”.
 
Thank you for this post. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I was crashing. Strange that I've had NAC X and Workshop Plus work together in other save files.

I have done a lot more tinkering with it and have made NAC X and it work together. But first what mod manager are you using because I was only able to get it to work with Vortex. The mod author of NAC X, says it should be one of last or first (i can't remember which) in your load order and if you do that it conflicts for some reason with Workshop Plus, but if you just install NAC X and reinstall Workshop Plus using Vortex it sorts them correctly and do not do any sort of manual load order, that is what was causing the crash at least for me anyway.

I use MO2, and thanks for the tips. I got it working on my own, but I appreciate the response. Not sure what exactly decided to go screwy, but such is modding. I'm just glad you posted so I didn't have to go through the entirety of my load order trying to figure it out. Thanks again!
 
Sorry for the necro, but this is the only information I've found on this and I can't get NAC X and WP to play together. How did you guys get it working?
 
I recently ran into this issue too. I had to abandon NACX as there's no fix. I was talking to KG about it and he doesn't know why it's happening. They really shouldn't conflict.
Flight mode changes the characters race to Bird, so disabling flight allows it to work. Which means the race change is what's causing the crash.....which makes no sense, NACX doesn't touch race.

If you disable flight in WS+ you won't crash.
 
I'd figured that out before I posted, I was just seeing if there were any full solutions. I did some testing, and it doesn't happen on a fresh save. About 4 hours into my playthrough (I went through a bunch of saves at different points) it started crashing. I didn't realize until 8hrs in, after I had killed Kellog. I'm about to comb through everything and see if I can find something on why it's causing the crash. I'll be sure to post here if I find anything.
 
I recently fount this post after figuring it out for myself through Crash logs, Weird thing for me is i had NACX and WP+ work alongside each other no issue for about 30 hour save, then I disabled Dynamic Lightning and the next time I used workshop it crashes immediately. After knowing it, I loaded up the game with NAC at the bottom loader order, tried to re-activate Volumetric Lightning, and it crashes. The Mod seems to have lots of peculiar issues and Doesen't help they completely removed posts or bug reports so people can know not to use it with WP+
 
I played for a very long time with NACX and Workshop plus together without any issues until very recently. I always noticed that if I had a jetpack on, flight mode wouldn't work in WS+ so I would have to make sure to remove the pack before going into workshop mode. I started having this crash a few weeks ago but is was random or so it seemed... I always had flight enabled, but sometimes I forgot to remove the jet pack and those times I remembered to, I crashed. It has something to do with flight itself. You can have flight mode on and a jet pack will keep you from crashing but you can't fly. I just started using TCL for flight and well, it's better for those cramped spaces anyways.
 
Does anyone have an answer to fix this ? I tried looking in fo4edit myself but can't seem to find anything also downloaded old versions of WS+ but the issue is still occurring
