Crashing with Grass mods

[DeliveryGodNoah]

I've been trying to add some grass mods to fill out the bland landscapes, but the three I've tried all crash.

Right now I'm near Caldera, and when I step near the hills on the east side, the game just closes. However, if I remove the grass mod, I can pass through that area just fine.

I've tried two so far:
Vurt's Groundcover (the one that was adapted to work with OpenMW) and Ozzy's Grass (also said to work with OpenMW)

Is there an alternative that works or does someone know what I'm doing wrong? I was playing the game just fine with the mod up until I got to this specific area.

Edit: It seems to just be when I get near the Indalen Ancestral Tomb

Edit 2: So I made a new character on the same server with the same mods applied, and ran all the way to the Indalen Ancestral Tomb and had no crash at all. But when I tried to log back in with my original character, it crashes before it finishes loading.

What kind of crash is it? Does the window close itself with no warning, or do you get one of those "tes3mp.exe has stopped working" windows?

The window closes itself with no warning

Seeing as you're playing a multiplayer project, I assume you're playing with someone else... Has that person had any similar problems with the grass mods?

[DeliveryGodNoah]

Yes, I've been playing with my brother who lives in the same house, so we have the exact same mods.

He also cannot be in the same area without the game closing on him in the same way.

I'd like to replicate your problem on my end, but your initial post is a bit hard to follow. For instance, in your first line you said you've tried three grass mods, then later on you said you've tried two. Did it always crash in the same place with them? Did you turn them off without turning any other mods off? Are you sure nothing else could be causing it, considering you can go there fine with a fresh character?

[DeliveryGodNoah]

Sorry, it was 3. Vurts, Ozzy's, and Vality's Grass mod.

This is my first playthrough going to this area with these mods, so I don't know if it's always been capable of doing this. Both my brothers character and mine are unable to log in without it crashing.

I tried a fresh character with the grass mods turned off and only my other mods activated and was able to get to the same spot without crashing. However, if I try to log in with my original character with the grass mods off the game still crashes.

Oddly, I WAS able to load in using Vality's grass mod one time, except I was slightly beyond the hills that the Ancestral Tomb is in, and was being attacked by a cliff racer. I killed the cliff racer and ran around the area to see if it would crash again and nothing happened, so I logged out, told my brother to try Vality's grass mod, and then when I went to log back in again, the game just crashed.

I did notice that when I went back to the same area with the fresh character there was a rat enemy that I didn't see before, so maybe the main character isn't loading enemies right either? Could be unrelated, but it's something I noticed. Obviously can't double check if the rat is on my main character since it's crashing

I guess I'll start testing grass mods...

Until then, if you open up your character file in mp-stuff/data/player, you can change the location to somewhere else and allow yourself to connect as that character without crashing. Make a backup first though, just in case.

Sorry you have to go through the trouble, but I really do appreciate it. If there's anything I can do or that you need to make the process easier, I'll do whatever I can as quickly as possible.

Another update, I moved my character by changing position in the player file, and I was able to load it this time, without and grass mods, and even walk to the exact same spot that I was crashing at before with no problems.

However, I tried adding a grass mod again, and like before it just crashes. I removed it, tried to load in, crashes instantly.

I tried reproducing this crash and it didn't happen with 2 of the 3 mods (I couldn't find Vality's).
Could you provide a client log for when you crash and your player data file (mp-stuff/data/players/<name>.json) when located at the spot where you crash.

Also just in case your pluginlist.json.

Thanks.
