Solved New Game Doesn't Start

On starting a new game with Conqueror installed, the game refuses to start. I can install any mods except Conqueror and the game will begin just fine. Specifically, when I select "New Game" I hit an infinite loading screen before the "War Never Changes" start cinematic. Originally, I thought I hit the script limit, however, disabling all other mods except those required by Conqueror has the same result. I've tried reinstalling Conqueror manually (I use MO2), but this didn't seem to fix anything either. I'm at a complete loss here. As far as I can tell, I've tried everything. I've also tried redownloading Sim Settlements, Workshop Framework, and Conqueror with no success. Further, I've tried verifying my FO4 installation through Steam, double-checked my .ini files, including using a newly generated .ini files. On top of this, I set the game to run on the lowest graphic setting possible. I've looked over the incompatible mod wiki page, and I have nothing on that list either.
 
mods are better anyway. :drinks
100% true. If it wasn't for mods like Sim Settlements, this game would have been boring after running a few times. It's really a shame that the CC never came out with anything worth the price tag as far as I'm concerned, it had potential to give us mods like Sim Settlements with developer support so we wouldn't have the dreaded script limit to fight. Once again I appreciate the help everyone has given me, and I apologize if I came off as a bit snippy at first. It's been a hell of a few days with this whole virus outbreak! Amazing community as always!
 
AHAHAHAHAHA. Oh boy, that's great. Yeeting the Creation Club files fixed it. Also apologies for somehow misreading CC as SS, I have no idea how the hell my brain managed that. I never expected the CC files I didn't even purchase to break mods, yet here we are I suppose. From this point, should I simply keep the CC files in quarantine, as I don't own any of them so I don't know why Bethesda insists on putting them on my disk? Or will that cause long term problems?
Thanks for the help so far by the way, I really appreciate all of you pitching in with this! This mod continues to be the best thing about FO4.
YES! Nice one mate.
If you don't have CC mods - you are safe to delete the files. They are put there because Bethesda don't give a shit about their player base. They are pushed down any time the game gets an update. I just delete them all any time I start a new game (which is often). It's no big deal to do that and you won't cause any issues.

And I get to reclaim some disk space too! I like this solution already.

True, it's incredible. Love the community here and I also follow BAGS_2.0
 
I have a similar problem, but found an other solution.

Like in the original post, I have recently installed only Sim Settlements and it prerequisite. When a I start a new game, I get an infinite loading screen before the intro video.

The thing is, it's not really infinite because when I hit "enter", the video starts. I think there may be a invisible message box. So, that's weird, but that's fine.

Removing the Creation Club files from the data folder did not fix that problem for me.
