Hi all, been playing lots of TTW, haven't had many issues at all, the crash here and there but not often enough to be a bother.
I only recently finished Point Lookout, and am now starting on Mothership Zeta, but I'm running into a game-breaking issue.
My Fallout 3 version is the Game of the Year Edition from Steam.
Once Somah and I begin to "fight", my FPS goes from my solid 60FPS to max 5FPS. I figured it must be the electrical door, since when I look away from it I get 30ish frames, but once the aliens come inside it doesn't matter if I'm looking at it or not, I get 5FPS- permanently.
I have tried turning down my settings, including resolution, and loading different saves.
I fear this is an easy fix that I am simply over thinking, as I have not encountered any one else with this issue.
Note that I am not freezing or crashing at all, the game just simply runs at single digit frames per second once the aliens come in to break the fight.
Here are my system specs:

I used LOOT for my load order.
I haven't had any other game-breaking issues, and I'm running on 10 hours of straight gameplay so far, but I would be super glad and to fix this issue.
Thanks for your time reading, and your help!
EDIT: I've made some progress in fixing this issue. I hadn't noticed I still had "tyfasterwalk.esp", which PMS.esp (Proper Movement Speed) already accomplishes, so I got rid of it, re-used LOOT to organize the load order, then turned my settings back up.
I got a stable 60FPS in that section now, even though I'll sometimes get dips in the 40's, guessing it's just a demanding DLC.
However, I am now getting very frequent crashes and freezes, where I wasn't before, at least not in Zeta. I crash every 20 minutes or so. I have seen another thread on this, but the solution there was to remove CASE, Craft Master and Craft Pack. I do not have this.
TL;DR - I no longer have the FPS issue, now I have crashing and freezing issues, and solutions from other threads have not worked. Also, ignore "tyfasterwalk.esp", it's gone now.
