if anyone still gets crashes at RobCo Sales and Services Center aka the area that leads to Mechanist Lair then disable any mod that modifies County Crossing area/settlement. possibly even Boston Airport and or Bunker Hill mods since they are close to Mechanist Lair. I had to run the DLCRobot.esm aka Automatron dlc through Fo4 Edit using the Auto Clean function. inside Fo4 Edit folder there is a file called FO4EditQuickAutoClean open it up then select DLCRobot.esm it will take anywhere from 1 to 3 mins to finish. at the bottom right it will say finished then exit out the program and it will save the file with the new changes. Do the same cleaning as above for any mod that modifies County Crossing area. I have around 700+ mods in my game so anyone that has area/settlement location mods around Mechanist Lair or 200+ mods will probably start having random crashes at Mechanist. Hope this solution helps others out.
Can't think of anything that I've loaded that started this, but it only started after I took over County Crossing. I use the road beside the front ruined house as my gate placement. The moment I step outside that gate into the road, I get CTD. Cannot fast travel there. CTD. I have to come in from the back side of the settlement from another location. For all I know it could be that the whole place has problems handling added items when you build a settlement. This mod didn't work.
I just chalk the whole thing up to Bethesda's game engine, which is one of the most extremely buggy systems ever made for an advanced game like this. They need to seriously hire new talent. Rewrite the game under a different engine. Leave the mod community able to keep their mods intact and working. The base game is 'OK'. Mods are really what makes the game.
If this mod works for you, fine. Some of the other suggestions as to why this crash happens are not in my game to cause it, so the crash still remains unsolved.
UPDATE: 5-11-23: Installed Simply Better Weather and removed a lot of the ENB effects in the game (even though it doesn't affect any of those things, programming wise), cleared fog, etc. I have no more CTD around County Crossing AND no CTD around the downtown area that many people complain about. Apparently it's all about the atmospheric effects trying to be forced on the game. I got rid of godrays before that with console commands. Any way, no more CTD and my frame rate has stabilized and is much smoother.
I am having similar problems in the general area between southwest harbor and Vim Pop factory can someone help or know a possible fix!? its like i have about a minute in the area before it just Straight up CTDs to im just fustrated with it. I had a similar problem with Cambridge and was able to fix it by doing KAH command thru it and it work fine when i drop down from the sky by this area just refuses to work right no matter what i do. its like there entity just loads up here and i cant figure out where and it like completely makes impossible to get thru this area.
I kept crashing in Boston Airport Ruins, I didn't think this mod would help since it's an interior cell, but downloading this fixed the issue. So thanks!
I spent hours trying to figure out why my game was crashing - ended up reinstalling the game, and all 150+ of my mods manually, and meticulously redoing my load order, only for it to continue happening. The only thing consistent I noticed was that it always happened near Ada's caravan fight, but it was happening elsewhere as well. Googling that led me here, and I can't tell you how thankful I am...I haven't had a single crash since. Thank you SO much for this fix!
I just spent the last couple of hours trying to raid Country Crossing for a new raider outpost. It seemed like anytime I shot a Hired Thug, the game would CTD. Then I thought it was VATS causing it, so I ran in with a machete chopping away at the NPCs.....CTD. Then I tried using a Predator Grenade which aggroed Doc Weathers, THEN...CTD. After searching online for everything but Country Crossing, I finally found this mod, and it works right out of the proverbial box. I am only up to the "talk to the robot" part of Automatron, for what its worth. Thanks for the mod.
