Hi, just wanted to make sure. So this mod disables disassembling expensive junk when you click the button in the menu; while Smarter Scrapper disables disassembling expensive junk automatically when you got the perk Scrapper. Is that correct?
Tried the mod out. Crashed the game when loading up. Even worse it corrupted the gamesaves I tried to open with the mod on. Deleting the mod got rid of the crashes and gamesave corruption, luckily didn't use it on the gamesaves I want to keep as starting points. Back to double-checking the junk category for expensive stuff and not hitting the disassemble all button, oh well.
This mod cannot touch your saves in any way. It's a simple 2 line tweak to the code that disassembles junk, with some extra code for the settings menu.
What's confusing about your description is how you say the game crashes on load, but then say the mod corrupts saves you loaded - how are you loading saves if the mod is crashing your game on load? I don't doubt you ran into some problem but your description doesn't help identify the cause.
In general, mods cannot touch your existing saves. I.e., if you get crashes when loading saves after adding or removing a mod, it's not because those mods touched your existing save file but because your current list of mods and dependencies is incomplete or unstable. So, removing the new mods or adding back the mods you had will let that save work again. Just stating this for your knowledge, not doubting something is messed up in your environment: but those saves aren't corrupted in any way.
I would look at how you installed the mod and whether you have redscript/Mod Settings working. Mod Settings has its own dependencies to use it, check they work.
I have Mod Setting and Redscript, also saw the ModSetting window to change the disassemble value. Still, this mod was the only new one added to the game so it was very easy figuring out what the problem was when the crashing happened followed by finding out the gamesave got corrupted and wouldn't load. Removing the mod made the game go back to normal. Now I don't want to risk losing gamesaves this way.
