Automatron Robco Sales and Service Center crashing with no mods

[Turtle-Gal]

The automatron Robco Sales and Service Center loads forever. I've tried on multiple saves, modded ones, ones with only the Unofficial Patch, and completely unmodde ones, and it always loads forever. I left it for over an hour and it never loaded.

first mistake was to remove all your mods. You've now borked your saves unless you can put them back exactly as they were.
There's a game bug that rarely happens that causes that cell to not load properly.
other than that bug, it could come down to a simple texture & mesh issue.
You didn't need to remove all your mods

I didn't remove it from my save, I made a new save with no mods.

and you used coc to get over there to find out?

edit: what mod manager are you using?
Are you using CC mods?

I'm using MO2, and I have the free Saint Patrick's day CC bundle. Could they cause a problem? And yes, I used COC to test, both the exterior to use the doors and skipping right to the interior.

[JDaremo Fireheart]

some CC can cause issues. The one I hear most about is Tunnel Snakes Rule, but I heard that one a couple times this week already. Maybe have a look through the discussions and see. You might have to scroll through a few pages.
I also use MO2, with close to 300 mods running right now and have never had the issue.

Did you make a whole new profile in MO2?

[Turtle-Gal]

Yes, the ini files are unique to each profile, but saves aren't. The only CC item I have though is just some green paint for some weapons and armor.

[JDaremo Fireheart]

why aren't the saves profile specific?
I always have both boxes checked in the profiles. saves headaches.
That way I can copy a loadout, change it a bit and delete the saves under the saves tab.

I only have one main profile and then the default, didn't see a reason.

[JDaremo Fireheart]

I have multiple profiles plus the default.
Each one has some different mods along with the base mods I always use.
For example, one is for Sim Settlements. That way I can play those mods without messing up a favourite profile & mod load-out.
You can also run the install for mod patch compilations for each load-out. Just rename it with the profile name in it.

I've changed to unique saves. But I still have the issue with not being able to enter the Robco building. I've verified the games files, uninstalled the CC content and reinstalled Automatron, and even with a new save I cannot enter the building.

[JDaremo Fireheart]

are you launching with the unofficial patch through f4se?

[Turtle-Gal]

Yes, and right now I'm trying without them

[Turtle-Gal]

Disabling F4SE seems to have fixed the issue. I guess F4SE is causing the bug somehow?

[Liquid Inc]

Not unless you've installed it wrong.

What mods did you have before? Because F4SE on it's own isn't going to do anything like that.
Since you've used mods there's probably files remaining from those that F4SE is attempting to load, but can't because the plugin's gone, so it hangs in the loading screen.
Removing F4SE would stop any stray remaining files from loading, but it's not going to fix the issue until you find what's left.

[Turtle-Gal]

All of my F4SE plugins are loaded with MO2 so they aren't directly in the game folder. Like I said, I made brand new saves with no mods enabled other than F4SE. No plugins left in the folder since they're loaded by MO2 only when enabled. I must have installed F4SE correctly considering I've been using mods requiring it and they worked fine.
