You are overloading the game's papyrus engine. Also, you may have removed a vital baked-in mod after using it, and have broken your game's save file with items no longer being present that it expects to be there.

Just because you don't think you're using 'many' mods, obviously the mods you ARE using are breaking your game badly.

Go to your mod organizer and find how to export your mod LOAD ORDER in a text file. Send that here if you can.

yea....

You've overloaded the Papyrus engine data array...

Either:

A:
You have too many objects and settlers in your game - meaning you've overbuilt your settlements and are exceeding the 64,000 items it can track.
B:
You have mods that are adding entries to the papyrus engine and filling your arrays.


The number of mods you use isn't the issue, its the type of mods, and what they do that matter..

Running Sim Settlements 1 or 2, with a few cell mods and a couple of "wildlife" mods will produce this error...

That list was overloading my optical arrays. Ouch. D:

yeah its overwhelming for me as well i have made many new saves and it still happends even after a fresh install and deleting everything and starting fresh and installing mo2 and fallout 4 and making a new game after i get about 10+ hours into a save this happens the only mods i use are fixes and CC content i got the cc bundel a week ago and the reason am seeing these crash logs is because of the pluggin i use called Addictol it shuts down the game on me if the arrays are too many. i dont remove or add mods i just setup a base mod list short and then i download the cc content its very close to vanilla. it happends eaither during a fast travel or mainly when i am building and i don't build that complex of settlements. i cant tell if its a mod or a pluggin or i just don't know what i am doing. all i want to do is play the game. thanks for the tips and help you have gave so far.

Ironic that all but six of 'em began with the letter 'cc', two are same authors as Nexus mods and the two additional are 'verified creations'. Which mod of thine is giving thee crash log?

My advice when you inevitably have to start a new game:

Nuke 100% of those CC from orbit, remove them from your subscription list/cancel them from downloading next time. CHOOSE which pipboy mods you want to actually use (like. no one ever needs more than 1 imo but that's just me). CHOOSE whether you need all the weapon skins. You don't.

On looking up the Tales of the Beast Hunter mod, at least one reddit thread indicates that there are serious issues with it slowing fast travel, which might be something related. Other comments also agree that that mod is a buggy mess and should be avoided until fixed. Those are 8 months ago by the way, so who knows. fps stutters, lag in travel, and slowing down or completely wrecking auto saves.

Obvious that OP's got Creations Bundle. Of which I have nought. Did download that free Tale of the Beast Hunter separately from said bundle, however & it ran without issue.

Yeah, looking more into this issue it's either that it's my cc content that would be a downside but it's that or it's something else while looking into the reason the game is crashing its because a pluggin I have is terminating the game when the limit is reached this is a quote from someone on said pluggin

Disabling the handle limit warning disables the forced termination. It's enabled by default because it's a preventative measure that's intended to prevent saves that have exceeded the limit from being saved, because it will cause issues that are very hard to diagnose ("random" crashes, missing references and stuff). Like I said, the forced termination will likely be removed, but for now it's enabled by default because it's more of a "I am disabling this because I am willingly choosing to play on a save/loadorder that is too bloated and accepting that my choice will cause issues down the line" kind of thing.

Could you go up to the top of your steam library window on the computer you're playing the game with, and click HELP > SYSTEM INFORMATION and post the list here? Drivers and drive sizes and hardware specs may be important if you are also running out of ram or vram too quickly. or if your cpu is too slow to handle things properly. Since I've never used buffout or one of those things to monitor the game code I have no idea whether any of the issues I've had with the game during the 11 years I've played, had this specific problem.

Yeah def not the system. However, is your game capped to 60 fps or are you using higher speeds?

I play at 120 I use high fps fix or whatever it's called again. the game speed is normal everything works fine.

Yeah it looks like I can disable the termination by
setting bReferenceHandleLimit to false. In the settings of the pluggin but I will try that tomorrow and see if it fixes the random crashes I could keep it on and get used to the crashes every 1 to 3 hours but by disabling the limit I could face issues down the line or the longer I play I could corrupt my save. It's just a fallout 4 issue at this point I do appreciate all the help! Thanks again
