Help with modding my game. Crash when trying to load/save game.

[SpudBud 0]

So I followed Snigaroo's modding guide as closely as a possibly could for the full pc build of Kotor 1. Everything seemed fine until I realized I could not exit the tutorial room. The door just says "Locked" and I can't open it. Additionally, when I tried to save the game it crashed. Same story when I try to hit load from the start up screen.

The only mod I didn't install was the 4GB patch mod at the very end of the mod build since I am using the steam version of the game.

I have tried running in compatibility mode, running in window mode, turning off frame buffer effects (in game menu), and verifying game files from steam.

I am not sure what I did wrong and I don't really want to go back and reinstall everything. Does anyone know what might be causing the issue?  Thanks for any help anyone is able to give me.

EDIT: Forgot to mention I am on windows 10.

It would likely be faster for you to get support on the Discord, but I can try to help you here. The behavior with the door being locked implies that Trask isn't present, which is very very old behavior--Trask Without Tutorials, the new KOTOR tutorial mod I use, keeps Trask in the party and uses him for the door unlock, matching vanilla behavior. If you don't have him or he can't open the door, something is already quite wrong. Is he present for you?

Regarding crashing on save/load, you may simply need to use the 4GB patch. Patching widescreen in and using it for stability might be totally unavoidable for your setup.

@Snigaroo Thanks for responding. I will check out the discord as soon as I am back at my main rig.

Trask is present. He tells me to grab my gear, I gear up, and then he joins my party. Door is stuck after words. 

I will work on installing the 4GB patch right now and see what results I get.

 

BTW, thanks for all the work you have done to keep this game alive. I have had problems modding in the past and you have always been the one to respond back when you were still on the subreddit. You are a true champion of the republic, old and new.

So you tried opening it with Trask and it still did nothing then?
