CTD on loading a save

[BrackObama2]

Hey.
For some f*cking odd reason my game started crashing, it crashed every damn time when I load a save, doesn't matter if an old one, or the recent one. I was playing FO4 a few days ago without any problems, without any crashes, without anything, then I went out of town, got back today and now it's unplayable.

Yes it's modded.
Yes I have organized my load order (with LOOT).
Yes it's was working great.
Yes my PC can handle this game.
No I haven't installed any new mods since the last time I played it.
No I haven't updated any of my mods since the last time I played it.

I have found this thread on Nexus:
https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/3606550-crash-to-desktop-ctd-cure-all/

I will try to do that, but it will take a loooot of time to disable all mods.Can anyone confirm if it's working, or maybe someone has other suggestions how to fix this problem?

Alright one of the older saves are working. However game started lagging, FPS dropped. I have never played any game that would be so problematic.

this might be the reason(s) for your crush
"It's possible to mod the sh*t out of this game, I have about 280 mods installed and active at the moment, it took quite some time to get everything up and running, but it was worth it.
Also, if some mods wouldn't be working, always check the "posts" section in mod's Nexus page. Almost every time you can answer to your problems in there."

Yea it's kinda ironic how amazing Fallout was working for me a few days ago, and when I told to other person that with a patience and help of the internet you can mod the crap out of your game - it stopped working for me.
However problem might me in corrupt files, it's a long process to find them tho.
Telling someone that his/her game is crashing because of mods is same as saying "you are dead because you died"
On every thread that was ever made about crashing, the reason is "mods". Yea I know, it would be way more helpful if you could share some tips and tricks on how to "maintain" your game, instead of saying something that already was said by thousands of other people trough all these years.
Thanks

I was not trying to be smart but there is nothing left for me to say about this because mods caused a lot of unimaginable problems for me previously, it is until I play vanilla I can get a relatively crash free and trouble free playthrough. Other than telling you it is the mod(culprit), I really have nothing else to contribute to this.

and I am using gtx1070. I think no hardware can save bad modded game.

Don't get me wrong I wasn't trying to be mean or something, maybe my lack of knowledge of english language made you think so.
I would take a guess, that the game is modded quite decently, I mean that I tried to do everything I could to prevent my game from crashing and all that stuff, but it's Bethesda's game after all, even the fresh install of vanilla game is unplayable for some people.
At the moment game is running decently, not that good as it was when I played it the last time, but it's not too bad either.

The weirdest thing is, that I haven't touched the game, it's files or mods for two days, it was working very good, and now it's not, frame rate dropped, it was crashing on launch and etc.
Fallout 4 is like a living being, it can f*ck up even if your PC is turned off lol.

The problem of A "bad" mod is not always apparent, the signs will only show after some time passed, like a disease if you may. When I scrapped some things that should not be scrapped using a certain mod, all was good for a while, and then mysterious painful glitches.

[BrackObama2]

Hmm maybe it's the same thing for me. I will have to look into it, for now I think that maybe it's just the save what was corrupted, however it's kinda weird, if the 4 saves were corrupted at the same time, because I managed to launch the game and play without a single crash for like 40 minutes, from the fifth save.

Try disabling all esp's and see if you can load a savefile. If that works it means one of your mods causes a CTD.

Turns out for me the Mods were just fine. The frickin' save was just refusing to load. Luckily I'm not new to modding, so I just loaded a previous save and thanks the heavens it loaded just fine.

Did you, at any point, remove mods mid-playthrough?

Data is baked into your save, so removing mods off of an existing playthrough increases your chance of a save corrupting.

I don't even trust uninstalling a mod that has an uninstall holotape. I personally will never, at any point, uninstall any mods that have already been loaded into a playthrough.

Also, if you're unaware of the problem with autosaves/quicksaves/saving over the same slot multiple times, relying on these will increase your chances of a save going bad. Always create new saves. Relying on saves that have been constantly overwritten is risky.

I've still never had a skyrim or fallout 4 save corrupt and I've played both games since launch, including using ridiculous amounts of mods.

Data corruption can always happen in any game, even with no mods, but if you take the proper steps you can definitely minimize your chances.

I realize this doesn't exactly answer your question, but keep this etiquette in mind for all future playthroughs to minimize your chances of something like this happening.

This is happening to me. I have a new computer so the game was a fresh install without mods so I started a new game, saved came back and tried to load and got a CTD.

[Hornet]

this has been happening to me now, ive tested it with and without mods

[MaXx]

seems, there is now 2021 and sh!t happenning all around...

I just told myself to get F4 and build another crazy thing I did thought about yesterday, BUT(t) I ran F4 and it did noticed me about "graphic setings" -thats ok, I did not mind... but the game itself did not saw its "old" saves or anything... I managed to make game to see my "old" settings and saves, but everytime I load any save it goes CtD...

I have NO mods or anything just DLCs (I will try to reinstall all of it, might help...) but Im quite frustrated with it, because Im building "crazy" stuff since the game was "fresh" and I do not want it to get lost...

The most weird thing of them all is I just did not change a jot in my pc ! but uninstalling (fckng) EasyTune which has been sh!tt!ng all over the place and messing with my iCUE RGB settings (just WTF xD)

Reinstall did not help soo, what might be the problem...

In many cases, it's a UI mod which is causing the bug. I got rid of "Vault Girl Signs and Posters", which didn't even have a .esp, and that was all it took to get my save to load. Btw, I know that signs and posters don't normally fall under UI mods, but this one in particular came with a UI mod as an optional mod.
