Solved Exporting layout either stuck or CTD

[EmiLady]

Everything's in the title, I'm trying to export a settlement layout in order to make it into a city plan, but everytime it crashes quite fast, loading at most 1% of the layout according to the HUD (I tried 3 or 4 times, everytime I get a CTD, either after a few seconds or a couple minutes). I tried exporting another settlement, and there I waited for an eternity without any progress (I waited 10 or 15 minutes for each try and I tried twice), the loading bar is stuck to 0%. I checked the log files that WSFW generates for these layouts, as expected the ones where it starts then crashes look everything like any other similar file until it ends when the game crashed, but for the ones where I tried exporting and it didn't load at all there wasn't anything written in those files, it's like WSFW didn't even begin to register anything. I guessed maybe I tried exporting settlements where I built too much stuff and outside of the build limit and borders, but I already exported these and made them into city plans which I'm revisiting, and they worked perfectly fine before and not much changed in those designs. It's getting very frustrating spending time trying to create and share these, and failing.

Sounds like Papyrus is getting overloaded.

Try adding this to fallout4custom.ini - this will allow it more time to do it's work (it won't use it if it doesn't need it) and let it use a bit more memory. It also helps to keep your fps capped to 60. The higher your fps, the less time Papyrus has to work each frame.

You may need to wait a short while after loading your save to let Papyrus catch up on outstanding work.

I forgot to update the thread to "solved", now that's done. I could actually export my settlement layout with this, and quicker than I remember in previous exports.
