North MOD Crash

Does anyone know why this MOD keeps crashing? Im playing on its own nothing else and has crashed about 6-7 times. Not even that far into it only have 10 people.

Did you try quit the game first after you enabled the mod,I encountered a similar problem years ago and that fixed it

I have had the MegaMod for at LEAST 3 years and it kept crashing this week. (First time ever). Any mods that can be installed that won't crash? Is the Colonial Charter mod doing the same thing? Thanks!!!

CC is working fine.

I had a mining/quarry mod that would cause my game to crash everytime I clicked the trader. Found a similar but different one and now everything works fine.

I play mostly vanilla with a handfull of small mods for quality of life(play) tweaks. Larger coverage areas for market, herbalist, multiple woodcutters, etc.

Came back to the game after a few years and started a new game with a few DS mods.
Got fatal errors every half hour or so.
Got mods uninstalled and everything is fine.
I used to play with mods before and never had any issue.
It has to be with the game as mods did not change.

Should add that the North mod crashes constantly.

Megamod (ver 9 from workshop) doesn't crash for me but loading time is long around 2 min each time I open the application, then again when loading a game.

Is it the last version of The North you got? I use the version from the modder's website since I don't have the Steam version of Banished, and I am not getting any issue. Might be worth trying with the direct download?

Also, does it crash when you do something special like clicking on a tradeport when the trader arrives? When you place a specific building? When your game autosaves? (try changing how often it autosaves to check that).

If the crash comes from autosaving, it comes from an antivirus setting that flagged Banished as suspicious and blocked the game's access to your Save folder. Flagging Banished as safe solves that. The issue can happen after a system or antivirus update, but I've heard of it happening after enabling a mod.
