    So I have CTDs every time I go into the Reactor Sector B. I already went through the area before but I guess I missed the review 04. Is there an ID code I can get so I can just spawn it? I'm unsure how else to get it at this point.

      Crashes when entering or leaving an AWOP area have pretty much always been the result of the game's application memory (which is not the same as computer physical memory) becoming exhausted. The best way to alleviate that problem is to use the FNV 4GB Patcher -- see RoyBatterian's sticky post. That post contains various recommendations about what to do to minimize the risk of crashing. You should follow that advice, because you already have that kind of crash now in Reactor Sector B, and so you will likely have it in other places later on as well.

      The Form ID for Roach Review 4 is xx078264, where "xx" is AWOP's load order index for your install setup.

      Thanks for the ID.
      I've already previously tried every step listed in RoyBatterian's post. Unfortunately nothing has worked. Is there a way to repair that area?
      I've tried everything and even disabled everything and went to using only vanilla with AWOP and MoMod and I still get crashes. I'm unsure of what's causing it as it seems to only happen there and the Sewers East End and only after I've been in the area once.

      It is not something that can be "repaired" because it isn't broken. When I go in there with a fresh install of the game, and just AWOP installed, I can wander in and out and all around without issues. So it is something about your installs or install setup. And I suspect that if you sent me a copy of your saved game, with your character standing at a doorway just before you click to enter a place that causes a crash, that I could go in and out without issues.

      In fact ... feel free to send me a copy for testing -- because who knows, maybe it isn't application memory overload. Send it to me as an email attachment to [email protected], or upload it to a file sharing site and provide instructions on how to grab it. It should be a Full saved game, not a Quick saved game. NOTE: I can usually run someone else's saved game, but not always, so no guarantee that this will succeed.

      Note that some installs can't be "disabled" to remove their influence, and instead must be completely uninstalled. Which is why the best way to test is often with a fresh and empty game install, and things then added slowly thereafter during testing.

      Ah that makes sense. I always assume just by disabling every mod in MO2 and replace the FNV directory with a completely vanilla one it would be just that, vanilla. I was wrong about that. Thanks for that info!
      I'm sure there's something going on in my game and I'm sure you're 100% right. With all the mods attached to this save I'm not even 100% sure it will load. I CTD if I try to even launch this save in vanilla. I do really appreciate your help and your activity. You're quite fast with responses and always very helpful!!

      Also side note: Where is the power station B? Is it connected to Reactor B? If so could I just get the ID for that one too?

      Sometimes body mods and other appearance mods must also remain installed and enabled while testing to help ensure the saved game will both load and permit you to move around within the game world. When absent they can sometimes cause crashes or freeze your character in place.

      The spoiler above for Review 9 seems pretty blatant already, and should make it trivial to find ... ?

      Grab the AWOP Documentation download from our Miscellaneous Files section. It has .jpg maps which show the connectivity between areas (pre-Version 6.0'ish so newer locations are not included).

      Ah makes sense. I don't need log 9 sorry I was looking for log 3 (the one in Power Station B). I keep crashing when going into Reactor B and that's the only way into Power Station B so I can't get the 3rd review. Sorry to ask this of you again but could I just get the item ID for the 3rd review?

      The Form ID for Roach Review 3 is xx078263, where "xx" is AWOP's load order index for your install setup.

      Greetings from the future, 2024! I also am suffering persistent Reactor Sector B crashes :) If anyone has any ideas reply to this comment, pretty frustrating when AWOP has been so good so far! :)

The best way to alleviate the problem is to use the FNV 4GB Patcher -- see RoyBatterian's sticky post above. That post also recommends additional things to do to minimize the risk of crashes.

      If the problem continues when using the sticky post's recommendations, it then can become tricky to resolve.  Might be that the installs still exceed the game's memory requirements, or be a conflict with some other install or patch, or be the result of a "broken" saved game which needs information that is no longer present because the player uninstalled something.

    Very nice guide.
    A handy info would be where to get the key to the area in which no.9 is located, because its not even a piackable lock.

    Are Power Plant A and Power Station A synonymous?

      In terms of actual location names: "Power Plant A" and "Power Plant A Reactor", but no "Power Station A". And also "Power Plant B" and "Power Plant B Reactor". Might (or might not) have different names for those same places in NPC dialog.
