I HATE to say this but CTD happening :(

I just feel bad even bringing this up after all of your work.
I installed version 2. Then installed the industrial one.
I have played a few times now and after half an hour to 45 minutes I crash to desktop {CTD}.
I hope this is just me and not your mod.
If this is an anomaly then fine. I will try to figure it out.
If not, is there a fix?
Yes I have over 200 mods, but always have.

Thanks for any help :)
 
No it did not. The closest to fast travel was maybe a full five minutes after a fast travel one time. I then went and killed some insects.
The next time I was building a settlement with the new pieces [advanced industrial].
Mostly it is me walking the commonwealth. Or during building a settlement.
 
Once a popup saying that windows has to stop the program.
Another time it just goes out like a light.
It varies.

Wondering. Sim settlements installed fine and in the same place. However the industrial one was last on the plugin list. Might that affect it?
 
and are you all that are having lag spikes and CTD while building or fast traveling using mods or trainers that increase your settlement budget?

I was playing fine.
Then installed the two new mods.
Sim Settlement version 2 and also sim industrial .
After this I started to experience CTD.
Sometimes with a popup with windows saying they have to close the game.
And sometimes just straight to desk with nothing.
It has never happened during fast travel.
I do not get lag spikes since uninstalling a mod a month ago I did not like.
I have had a CTD mostly when in a settlement.
Only twice outside of a settlement.
Once when approaching a settlement and once when leaving a settlement to go fight some insects.

All the other times I had an CTD when building a settlement since updating.

I have not had an CTD for a month now. And I removed the mods that caused them.
 
The youtube video in my signature was made before the update. I was in that the last time I CTD.
I was adding new advanced industrial plots.
 
Everything you just posted makes me think its related to your poly count.

This bar isnt a ball & chain; its an active poly counter in your settlement. If you use a mod or a tweak/glitch/hack to increase the size you put yourself at risk of CTD. This CTD usually occurs whilst working in a settlement, fast traveling to a settlement, approaching a settlement. It can also happen in large high detailed locations on the map. But if you break this bar you put yourself at risk.
 
Ah ok. Yes I have made some rather large settlements.
Ok so now with the upgrade of the mod it is even more of a concern then?
Dang.
Oh well then, thanks for this info.
I don't like it but at least it is a reason lol.

Thanks for all of your help :)
I take it you watched the video and figured it out that I use a mod to increase settlement sizes eh? LOL :)

Nope. Ive seen the video but I assume everyone breaks their budget bar because it always fills up at the worst possible time.
 
I think KingGath said that anything that is spawned doesn't consume any of the cap, so high-poly SimSettlements buildings could eventually cause it too.

LOL well I never had a problem before and in another run through I made one so big and complicated I got lost myself in it lol.

Right. actually because the buildings dont add to the poly counter they have the same effect as modifying the budget bar. You can easily go over without knowing.

Yeah, I think adding the new parts [industrial advanced and the guard posts were probably too much for that particular site.
Just confused about the others though as they were not near as large. And some had no development at all yet.
Oh well.
 
@kevbal I have something similar, I cannot fast travel anymore to Sanctuary, Abernathy, Sunshine and Red Rocket without getting CTD. I increased just a little bit the poly count in Red Rocket using console commands, in the other places I did not do that since I cleared a lot of polys with Scrap Everything (Sanctuary and Sunshine I had a completely empty bar before starting the settlements with SS).
I didn't have any problem before the expansion and I added just one weapon mod to have M4/M16 (not the one you showed in your police station project), and mostly fast travel works in the other places of the map!
I still have to try to load the last save in Sanctuary with a new game run.
Can you please have a look at my help request? I explained my problem, but now I don't know what to do

I feel for you Mpilo. I was at Finch Farm where I had not done anything yet. However I still had a CTD. Same thing at the light house and the castle. Hmmm, weird.
 
The strange thing is that at Nordhagen (for example) everything works fine, and it is a full SS place with 20 settlers and the Motel with maybe three guests. Same at County Crossing. They shold have problems too, but they work smoothly.

Strange. So then maybe this is NOT solved.
 
hmmm maybe my CTD wasn't caused by Conquest
I will have to check again and see what happens
