📋 About This Mod
Fixes the issue in which the game will crash if you target a creature wearing gear like the saddlebag, a bandana, or body paint in VATS.
After a decent amount of time, I finally found what the issue was as well as how to fix. I got the information from this Nexus Forum Post. The second to last specifically was the one that helped me find the issue. I proceeded to download NifSkope to see if this would fix my issue and it did!EDIT: There is a value in every segment called "parent array index" in nifskope. It has a long number as a value, the same for every segment. And for some reason every torso segment value was missing the last digit (5) for me, probably because i was using an outdated version of nifskope months ago when i first tried to add the armor, and it somehow stuck, outfit studio didnt correct it. So it was my derp.
INSTALLATION:
If you are using Mod Organizer, load the patch AFTER "Beast Master - Creature Companion Overhaul" on the left panel. If you download the fix for the Exotic Creatures Patch, do the same thing and have the fix loaded AFTER "Beast Master - Exotic Creatures Patch".
For those using Vortex, when the message about conflicts shows up, have this mod go AFTER the original Beast Master. Same for the Exotic Creature Patch.
If doing manual, I would assume you copy the meshes file in the fix and paste them into the original mods and have the old ones replaced.
