Over the course of the few years that I have been actively modding (for myself) Fallout 3 I have come across the most stable load order that you will ever use because I have hand-tested for hours on end with several playthroughs and no major issues.
Furthermore, all my TWPC patches are based on my own load order and it is essential that you follow it should you wish to get the same results that I do.
In short, you can have any of your mod .ESM and .ESP files in a specific order you deem fit from another source other than my own BUT my TWPC .ESP files need to be loaded AT THE END of ALL your other mods to ensure maximum compatibility and the patches to do as they were meant to. Failure to do so, and also not following the below load order, may result in undesirable results.
So PLEASE, trust me on this one, sort your load order to the T as I have below and your issues should lessen already, and have far less incompatibilities. Of course I cannot have every single mod listed and these are of my own personal collection of several years which give Fallout a HUGE overhaul, staying mostly lore-friendly and best of all; working together.
This list may change over time and become updated or new mods added, conflict/error ones removed etc. So feel free to ask any and all questions. Just please note that I am not your load order sorter, BOSS/LOOT do exist for this and while they are nowhere as accurate as I would be due to human conflict resolution, I will try to help as best I can if I am not swamped with IRL/patch stuff.
A note on Bashed/Merged patches: When you create them DO NOT include ANY of my TWPC patches!! They are never to be overridden or added to, just batch/merge without them, then ensure said files are loaded BEFORE the TWPC patch files and then activate all my TWPC files.

You can simply place any mods that we share in common in a similar order, skipping any plugins I have that you don't.
It will be very useful for working out my own load order to avoid clashes.
BOSS is no longer supported and lacks many of the mods I use. LOOT is up to date but I personally find that it completely screws up my load order, I mean putting DLC's before Fallout.esm, and patches all over the place, for example, so I don't use it.
Perhaps mod users swapping useable load orders like this is the best way to resolve most problems.
Keep up the good work with the patches.
More and more I am looking to cut out the necessity for a "correct" load order as my patches fix all issues, regardless of the load order between two or more mods so that just means as long as my patches are loaded AFTER said mods then all should be well.
As my patches grow however there may be certain load orders to follow, but that will all be documented here!
