Build bar draining as I build

So this is not the first time I have had this issue, for some reason I seem to be plagued by it, despite a Vortex/FO4 wipe and reinstall.
That bar should be filling up, Right?
I have not touched the build limits.
I am also getting CTDs. about 1-3 and hour.

I do not know what the issue is, but this is what happened to me in Taffington, and ultimately why I withdrew. I set my build limit, the bar would stay low, kept building, then would go up and down as I continued, ran the tools to check usage, etc... would say I am good... build some more. All yellow. Check usage, back to green..

I gave up in the end because I was over limit (couldn't build anymore).. and would have disqualified my entry regardless.

In my personal builds I use 4x and still can see it fluctuating in the middle up and down... but at least on a personal level, I don't care. I aim for 2x, but nah, it gives headroom to account for this.

Oh, and you can get around the "limit" with the weapon glitch and lower the bar, but running calculate usage, it will be back up again.

I abandoned my Regret Marina build that I had completed and was giving me issues during my final tests.
I started on a Taffington build, but ran into random invisible objects blocking standard paths.
I was hoping both those issues were related to the save game I was using for my builds, but since this is a different save game I don't have a clue as to what might be causing it other than maybe Vortex Profiles.
Vortex support swears that there can be no "bleed through" from other profiles but I have seen it happen.
Are you using Vortex?
And if so are you using the profiles for different mod load outs?

No, I have always used NMM Using the community version now. I only have one profile so I dont have blled through. And I always do manual plugin sort. Actually, my plugin order is reflective of my install order.
 
For when I build for a contest? Or a game play build?

If you look on nexus, do search for "load order" by BiBrait. Or known as BRB.

Not sure how vortex works, I only see wo te shop framework should be above simsettlement.esm

Source of the incorrect stats right there.
Thanks for that
I moved WSFW to load before SS, ran sort, and redeployed. (how Vortex works..)
My build bar is diminishing and I am not sure what to expect once it goes negative.
Logging my crashes on paper to see if I can find a pattern.
 
Well, my build bar I can only assume has now gone to Negative plaid, all the sudden I cannot heal myself with stimpaks, my health goes up and immediately goes down 1 and my vision gets blurry, with the heartbeat and everything.
Bed numbers keep fluctuating in workshop from 17 to 22.
Tried eating a squirrel on a stick and I DIED, and instead if sending me to my last save, I guess cause I had just reloaded, it kicked me back to the game menu.
Gonna dig around on the forums and see if I can find anything that will help the situation.
Not a a happy camper:scare

I did a recalculate Usage in the SS holotape and my build bar is now sitting at around 45% full. Exactly where I expected it should be, so that panic attack is over.
Maybe I should have done that when I moved WSFW in my load order?
 
Welp here i go again.....
My last recalculate usage gave me hope, but the build bar started going down again.
I finally got brave and ran R.U.again and i got this:20190913_225531.jpg
Below is before i ran it.

I did a build limit reset, rhen bumped it back up, ran recalculate usage, and now my bar is at about 50%.
I then ran cqf kgsim_autobuildparent recalculate buildlimit none true and got this20190914_120129.jpg
Not sure what it means though.
