After many hours on my playthrough (50+) I've run into my first major issue that I haven't been able to fix. I am using BRB's modlist with a few extra mods on top.
I first noticed the issue after completing the quests "Hole in the Wall" and "Follow the White Rabbit" (from Depravity). After finishing those quests I fast travelled to Fallon's Basement in Concord and then left the building, this is when I crashed. After many hours of testing and lowering all of my graphical/performance settings etc., I concluded that the entire Triangle of Death area would cause me to lag so heavily that the game would freeze. For example, within a few seconds of walking towards Concord from Abernathy's farm, it would freeze completely, every single time. Sanctuary and Red Rocket are both at Level 3 but I don't think they're the issue, as I even tried using the "Low" setting from the Sim Settlement Performance Wizard.
I eventually decided to try loading a save from before I started the above mentioned quests, only losing a couple hours progress. I am now able to enter Sanctuary, but as I head to Red Rocket and then towards Concord, the lag starts again. It doesn't freeze completely anymore, but it happens every couple seconds for a short period of time. I'm assuming it has something to do with a script load error with the Jammer questline or a conflicting mod. There's also no less than a dozen "Raider Recruits" that are just standing around in the house next to Jammer in Concord. No idea where they came from or what they're for, but maybe they're making some script lag? Attached a screenshot so you know what I mean.
I haven't touched the Jammer questline in many hours, getting as far as "Tapped Out" and "A Weapon For Willy". I decided to stop doing them when I realised it was a raider questline (I play as a mostly good guy). I also didn't enable the Conqueror options at the start of the game. As far as I know, the only Conqueror content I've even done/used is the Jammer questline. Honestly, I would just remove the Conqueror mod entirely but I don't want to do that mid-playthrough for obvious reasons.
Is this something fixable or do I have to restart?
