Crashing every time at the nine year skip

Post by Zagami » Thu Mar 22, 2018 3:22 am

So during the quest Baby steps you have a skip to 9 years in the future for your character's 10th birthday and start the quest Growing up fast


 


Every single time I attempt the time skip the game crashes but before the crash TTW preforms normally, I can create a character go through Catherine's death scene and even walk around the crib room normally.


 


I went into Nexus Mod Manager and set all my mods as disabled so the only mod I have installed is TTW and the respective hot fixes (which need to be installed through FOMM), which of corse didn't solve anything and the crash still happens every time at almost the exact same point. The only person I know who has played TTW claims to have never experienced the crash. All I can think to do is to delete all the mod files that are not TTW related but I really don't want to do that. If anyone has any idea how to fix this bug please let me know

Crashes at the 9 years later

Post by Risewild » Thu Mar 22, 2018 3:52 am

Crashes at the 9 years later are usually related to custom races or pipboy replacers. Both of those types of mods are not compatible with TTW.


Our FAQ has more information about this:





  • DO NOT USE The 'Official' Pip-boy Readius mod.  It will break the game when you enter simulation chambers in Tranquility Lane and Operation Anchorage.


    • The pipboy replacer mod Pip-Boy 2500A - The Arm Mounted Pipboy 2500 works fine.


    • You can use the mod A Familiar Friend, which is functionally similar to the Readius mod but you have to uninstall it  (follow the instructions) prior to entering the simulation chambers, and then reinstall later.


      • IMPORTANT: Do not install A Familiar Friend UNTIL AFTER VAULT 101.  Because the game gives you your first pip-boy at age 10 during the tutorial/character generation sequence, you need to wait until after that is over to install AFF.


      • IMPORTANT: If you use A Familiar Friend,  YOU MUST UNINSTALL IT before you start Tranquility Lane or Operation Anchorage, and then re-install it after you exit the simulation chamber.  Otherwise your Pip-Boy will not work properly when you exit those parts of the game.








CUSTOM RACE MODS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED.  There is currently no compatibility patch for custom races, and if you use a custom race, you may experience bugs in character generation.  This is because in Fallout 3, your character starts as a child, and most custom races do not come with an associated "child race".  For more on this and how to fix your custom race, see this thread.
