Game cashes w/o mods
Hi. I just updated my game but it was cashing before that. I toke my mods out and ran the game I was able to get to main menu and I stayed there for like 25 minutes or so and the game was fine but the when I clicked resume it was loading but cashed before getting to live mode and when I had my mom in I made it to live mode before it cashed. I have been having this problem for more than a week now and I’m so tired.I stopped playing the game for a while and when I came back I updated the one before the 5/27/25 update and it had been cashing since then I idk what to do. Can someone plssss help me 😭😭😭
4x53wf4cnpvz If the game works fine as long as you don't have any mods installed, then the problem, or at least the immediate problem, is something in your Mods folder. So you'll need to test that content. The 50/50 method can make the process a lot more efficient:

Having said that, your dxdiag shows that your computer's page file is also unnecessarily small, and the breakpoint errors in your screenshot and your dxdiag (lots of them) could be caused by the game running out of memory. The page file is where excess data is stored that would normally be in RAM but doesn't fit, which is why it's relevant here. So please increase the page file size, as described here (option one):

Set the minimum to 12288 and the maximum to 16384, and restart your computer.
It's possible that your mods are actually fine but are demanding extra resources that the system can't supply, leading to the breakpoint error. Or you could have a broken mod. Point is, you can increase the page file size before testing your mods if you want, as that might fix the problem.
