Well that's a ton and a half of weapons mods that you'll want to examine the bug reports and forum posts about. I would say that you might want to reduce the number of similar mods by about half, since many of them, if they aren't *specifically made to work together* may be just conflicting so badly that your game cannot process it.

That is exactly what I was thinking....

Yeah, I was just going to download only a few weapon mods, but 5 became 10, 10 became 15, and so on. It's almost like an addiction.

Which is why you need to become more picky. This is exactly why I say every time:

ALWAYS read the bug reports and forum threads. ALWAYS research literally every single mod. Sometimes it might be a load order problem solved by asking about it in their threads. Sometimes it may be just an outright conflict.

When the game sees "gun" and there are 5 different things layering over that gun, it has to TRY and figure out which of them goes on first, which on last, if they're even able to coexist at all. Most are NOT able to be applied to the SAME thing.

So while I definitely understand the joy of "oh look another x thing!" (believe me I have an entire system for deciding which settlement mods to use for this exact reason) sometimes they simply CANNOT coexist.

So I'd suggest go through and figure out which ones you want most, or will get the most use out of, and remove the rest - READ first, to see whether removing them mid-game is even possible or if it'll break even further. Removing and sometimes adding mods mid-game is a VERY risky thing for this game. It's code is already garbage on a stick so adding mods that conflict is even more so.

Found the problem, it was Combined Arms

[Zekiran]

Awesome!

Crossing my fingers for you that's the only one :D

[somebody]

Thanks for the advice guys.

I know I’m late but Incase anyone else goes down this rabbit hole it’s just the Combined Arms expansion pack that nukes the game, you can still use both Combined Arms, and its patch for the level list. Just not the expansion. I personally threw in Dooms weapon pack to fill the void.

Thanks, I had the same problem.
