Fallout 4 Mod Hunt

[Torkkar]

ok so I've never had any issue with Creation Club content before but I added 1 new one to my list at 9:35am Nov, 5th the Ambush Kit (It played well with my Junker modded play through) but now on nov, 8th as of 3:30pm my Achievement Hunting save now crashes to desk top when ever I'm in Sanctuary (Where I built just the firing range, & Watch Towers) for any where from 30sec onward Quick saving does help but to do so multiple times a minuet is ridiculous.

I've a few more CC's in the save all added mid save just like ambush kit, NONE of these CC's are causing it, Just the ambush kit.

Now I've already tried to fix the issue:

verified the game files - Verification successful - Problem persists

Uninstalled/reinstalled Game + Re-downloaded all CC's 1 by 1 - All other CCs work without issue, Ambush Kit still crashes

Tried to make a new Achievement hunter save placed firing rang in sanctuary - Game crashed to desktop 30sec later.

basically I've done everything to fix this on my end now its Bethesda's time to hot patch this stuff. cause as is Fallout 4 is now unplayable with this issue.

EDIT: SO Crashes fix now I'm changing this to a mod hunt forum for all the Bethesda .net mods I'm going to be swapping over from but some are Bethesda .net exclusives so I need to get new mods so when I find an exclusive I'll post the mods function as well as what I'm looking for. Mainly I use Q.O.L. type mods with as simple an interface as possible so anything that used custom hotkey's is out due to my proffered FPS control type.

Example Manufacturing enhanced Extended, Better Manufacturing, & Conveyor splitters.

Well you have three choices:

1. Create a shortcut to the f4se_loader on your desktop.
2. Edit the Steam launcher properties to target the f4se_loader.
3. Create a tool on the dashboard tab in Vortex pointing to the f4se_loader.

Personally I advise option three or one and to avoid option two.

You should also edit Fallout 4 properties to only update when launched, and have Steam running in the background before launching the F4SE. This way you can avoid any Fallout4.exe updates that will invalidate your F4SE. Even though it has been two years since the last Fallout4.exe update they could start again at some point.

true Bethesda is a foolish dev in that way remember nearly 20 years later the asshats updated Fallout 3...Why not just Remake the game at this point?

[Löthar Storm]

That was likely a micro$oft decision as the update merely removed Games For Windows Live. Meanwhile I'd been utilizing the GFWL Disabler on the goty edition of FO3 since 2011.

Well Skyrim Anniversary comes out in a couple days so that may put new interest into Fallout 4 Creation Club content. However I think the hold up for Fallout 4 Creation Club content is the idiotic court case claiming all Creation Club content should been included in the Season Pass/GOTY editions. There was a bunch of stuff announced like two years ago then it all went dark due to the lawsuit and the pandemic making courts even slower.

Yeah I think Microsoft finally gave up on the Windows Live launcher. There was a bunch of other game affected as well like the old Warhammer 40k Dawn of War series.

Fallout 3 was released in late October of 2008, so that's just over 13 years ago. Maybe in 2028 Bethesda will spring a Fallout 3 remaster on us.

so guys I just found the Crashing culprit... AFTER adding all the mods in my B.net lists Plus Msautomatroncolection & F4SE & all the dependencies for Buffout 4, I found a Protectron dead Glitched into the ground of main street sanctuary... so I resurrected it Teleported it to me then Murdered it again & fed it to my robot disassemble(mod contraption) & went to eat supper came back an hour later Fallout still running in an area it would randomly craft in any where from 30sec to 10mins of play.

now I did remove all the ambush kit stuff but it did crash after that & before I recycled the robot. SO 2 questions remaining:

1.) did that Glitch dead robot do it? (I say yes but I'd like another's input)

2.) with Buffout 4 the Nexus page said it enables achievements with mods but when I opened the save and made it an [M] save I was warned achievements were disabled so does Buffout 4 work? or does this message still display even with this mod active?

if it doesn't work what mod I need to enable achievements in modded saves?

Hard saying. You need a crash and it will tell you instantly in a crash log.

You receive that warning once but the M should have gone away if Buffout 4 is running.

[Torkkar]

well thats the thing I down loaded everything buffout 4 needs to run & vortex says its enabled & in my F4SE documents folder I see in one of those 3 text documents a Buffout 4 dll line but I had to install achievements mod to get that M gone I'll try to reinstall Buffout 4 see if that helps any thing

[Torkkar]

ok so just did 2 Reinstall's first just clicked Reinstall in vortex & saved over original started a game loaded save did a quick save the M is back (disabled achievements mod) second Uninstalled Buffout 4 launched the game to title & quit then Reinstalled buffout 4 fresh launched the game loaded save did a quick save M is still there.

so I went hunting in my game files opened buffout 4's file location its says its in stalled but when I went to the path where the nexus page says its crash logs should be in:

user/my name/Documents/My Games/Fallout 4/F4SE

I open the Text Document here F4SE 3rd line down says this:

couldn't load plugin C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data\F4SE\Plugins\\Buffout4.dll (Error 126)

so I think buffout 4 is installed but failing to activate in the actual game any clue how to fix?

[Torkkar]

and figured that out with a google search for ONCE and the first time EVER in my 34 YEARS google actually help me fix a modding issue.

so it was tbbmalloc.dll was not present so I'll list it here if anyone has this issue:

1. goto Buffout 4 nexus page click files download TBB Redistributables

2. Make a new folder in your file explorer (either downloads or documents) & name it something you'll know what its for like Buffout 4 Dependency

3. Virus scan optional (but you should to be safe) open the TBB Redistributables compressed zip folder.

4. find your Fallout 4.exe application file should be in:

This PC/program files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Fallout 4

5. Drag & drop the tbbmalloc.dll into this area with the Fallout 4.exe application

6. open Control pannel app from windows start bar look for: Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 & make sure the date it upto date with the curent day/month/year

7. if all this checks out launch the game & buffout 4 SHOULD be loaded & working & no more [M] tags on saves means you now have achievements & mods + you don't need another mod for it, & you have all the wonderful features of Buffout 4.

my only question is F4SE uses Vortex & auto installs .dlls into this file path so why can't Buffout 4 do this with tbbmalloc.dll?

I thought I warned you on that file, apparently I was confused with other help topics. I usually mention that while helping people install, but I help like 3-4 people a week and it gets confusing.

I missed that file myself the first time around because it appears in the files section and is easily missed. Others I helped install missed it as well. I think I evne left a message on the Buffout 4 page pointing out a lot of people are missing the file on their install.

No idea.

I find help all the time, the problem is sorting through 90% of the trash that comes up in a search. You have to be very vague and use certain keywords.

At any rate you should be good to go now. The moment you crash it will create a crashlog and then you just need to read the exception line to get the conflicts, and then check the mod slot number against your load order.

While it seems like a pain in the ass to install and get running it literally saved me hours and hours of troubleshooting mods. When you are running like 50-100 mods it is a complete pain to play the disable game to find the conflict.

[Torkkar]

50 - 100? man & I thought my 15 was a pain in the arse. But then again I do assemble minecraft modpacks so I'm dealing with on average 80 - 300 and MOST of those are mod suites 1 core mod its lib mod/s & its addon mods Immersive engineering is the best mod for fun but the worst for addons lol.

Na well now that this is closed I just need to find a Buffout 4 equivalent for Skyrim & start fixing that game with mods.

I do not know of any Buffout 4 equivalent for Skyrim that creates crash logs.

Of course the big issue right now is because SAE came out at midnight and SSE got an update last night most mods are now incompatible if they use SKSE.

[Torkkar]

yep that's why I'm looking out over a month or so before I start playing that one again. Really my SSE rarely crashes so I'm looking for an achievement enabler and maybe a working player shop stall mod(HATE fast travelling selling crap for an hour after 10mins in a dungeon)
