You know how NukaWorld adds ant colonies that embody the word "bug" so well that they can crash your game? I (the original author Glitchfinder, the same below) definitely didn’t! But now I understand, so I fixed it.

FAQ
**How do I get started using this mod? **
Just install it! No configuration or special steps are required.
**Is this safe to use in existing games? **
Yes.
**What exactly caused the crash? **
The ant colony's body parts data refers to the parts that are present in its skeleton but not in its actual model. In some cases this may cause a crash, for example if it is terminated while not loading.
**Will you submit this for an unofficial patch? **
No, because it will be rejected. As far as I can tell, this is a bug that's only encountered when mods do things with Ant Swarm, and the unofficial Fallout 4 patching team's policy is to only patch bugs that occur without other mods installed.
**Do I need this fix? **
or? This is a small, rare, random crash, and I don't know what mods in your load order might require it. I know about this issue because someone reported to me that their game would crash if they tried to use Integrated Addons (which adds random encounters involving mortar flies) and Mutant Menagerie (which adds swarms of bees to the bloated fly tier list).
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
