Game is installed on a 120 GB SSD

Here is my load order....

I don't think it's the Texture pack ,because I experience no l;ag, only slightly when turning. Please give me some suggestions. Oh and also, my manual load order keeps changing. I have to redo it every time I use Boss.

I actually was crashing before I downloaded those mods. That's what made me get them. I may have solved it though. For DarnUI I totally forgot to edit the fonts section in the ini file. I did just that and I played for an hour earlier. Never played for that long recently. Any idea how to decrease mouse lag? I get it while turning. Most of the time it's slight, but annoying. In certain areas it can be heavy turn lag, like in Megaton.

Nope, just crashed again. GDI

if it was crashing before the mods, you need to go through the setup guide and fix it before adding mods.
DoyleDeth Jul 2, 2014 @ 10:09am 
It wasn't crashing before mods.
R5CYA Jul 2, 2014 @ 10:22am 
sorry. i misunderstood. didn't realize you only meant it crashing before adding the last two. you don't have too many mods. i'd go back and re-read the authors notes and make sure they are all compatible, first. while i was at it, i'd check dates and see which ones have been abandoned by the author and which are still being updated. i don't like old mods. they allways seem to give me troubles.
someone with more exp than me may come along and see something obviously wrong there, but i don't know. the guy who wrote the book on fo3 and how to fix it already had a look at it and he didn't say anything was obvious.

This is infuriating. I can get NV to work just fine with mods, but F3 has to be a huge pain in the as*.

did you read the mod section of the setup guide? maybe there's something there that will help you.
i've had no problems with mods on this game as long as i follow the old rule. add one thing at a time and then test.
is that how you did it?

Create a merged patch with FO3 edit.
You have some big mods there so a merged patch can help with some potential problems.

Also mess around with this :

After changing certain settings i noticed a major FPS boost and a lot more stability.
For the mouse lag try this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdjRCEK9PSM

To ensure it's not a save game problem start a new game and play for 1-2 hours without stopping.

Get any patches you may need from here :

And last but not least check this out : http://www.tweakguides.com/Fallout3_10.html
Particularly the Memory part. ( in combination with the 1st link )

A lot of the mods that remove lots of objects from the game (like "better game performance") conflict badly with other mods and can cause crashes. That's why I suggested disabling it.
I'm surprised it didn't help to disable it but it was a pretty good guess. Same possible issue with your fog remover....
I never heard of that view distance reducer either.
Question: Why are you using FOMM and NMM?
DoyleDeth Jul 3, 2014 @ 12:46am 
I just use NMM for some texture mods. Thanks guys, I'll test all of this out tomorrow.
