Problems with a couple of NVSE functions. : Fallout: New Vegas

Have you tried using a container with it's own persistent ref, instead as a linked ref? Just something to try, but i'm using RemoveAllTypedItems with and without a formlist between containers/NPC and player without CTD. The casino frisking scripts use containers with persistent refs too.

Ricker! That was it! It's gonna need further testing, but I've run it about a dozen times with the direct permanent reference to the container, and it seems to be working perfectly! Same with the Null items in the exception list. Many, many thanks; I will credit you for the help when the mod goes up on the Nexus! You certainly saved my bacon on this.

Glad to have helped!

Hey Ricker, just a quick post to let you know, even replacing rather than deleting from the form list doesn't work reliably. For what it's worth, though, the issue is almost certainly centered around the removal of base forms. I'm using form lists extensively elsewhere in my mod with the important distinction that I'm adding and removing persistent references to them without any issues, including the zero'th element. I've dropped Ian a note about this. Hopefully, the NVSE team will find time to look into and resolve this.

Thanks for the update. Good info

Come to think of it, my form list script is adding non-persistent references (furniture) gathered from a ref-walk, and then replacing those with a blank form later to 'clear it'. The only work I've done with base forms is with AddFormToFormList, not replacing them or removing them.
