Facing several problems after AWOP, PN and others

[bbman13]

I've been playing modded New Vegas for a while on an old PC that my cousin had, so I had to do everything myself on my new PC. The first few times I installed the mods I did it all at once and broke the game. Most recently, I have been installing mods gradually and tested the game for a few minutes before installing more. I left most of the big mods for last because installing them first in the past created problems. They all worked well until I installed those big mods, namely AWOP, EVE, and Project Nevada. Some of the problems include:

- Missing weapon textures on player after respawn, and on NPCs from the get-go (I had installed Millenia's WRP and it had worked well before this)

- Blood textures missing (fixed - I found out this was due to a conflict between EBT and EVE, yet installing the compatibility patch did not seem to work so I deleted it - would be nice to have though)

- Missing faces on AWOP NPCs in Goodsprings (I had installed New Vegas Redesigned 3, and the compatibility patch for AWOP. It worked on one test run but the other times have missing faces and red exclamations)

- Missing texture red exclamation appears when I die from laser weaponry

- F4 Quickloot has enlarged text (somewhat fixed - I just disabled it for now)

- Unable to open cheat locker for Weapons for the New Millenia near Chet's shop, as well as certain containers (F4 Quickloot allows me to take items inside but deactivating the quickloot mod doesnt fix this)

- Missing icon on Pipboy for Weapons of the New Millenia guns, replaced by a blue square

- Stuck on grey screen after death with main menu music playing (fixed - problem was caused by Fast New Game mod, however I am still curious how that problem happened)

- Bullet holes in walls replaced with white squares

I haven't uninstalled the game yet cause I'm not sure whether reactivating certain mods could do this - they worked for some but not w/ others. My load order is as follows:

I had also planned to install Arwen's realism tweaks, ILO, Anim Prostitution and Realistic Headshots after those.

Could somebody help me out with this? I don't know which mods should and should not overwrite which mods, and whether reactivating solve these issues. I've had LOOT rearrange my load order and it didnt seem to report any conflicts or missing masters. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance and to my American friends happy 4th of July :)

1) Please see at least the 'Third Rule: The Rule of One', 'Essentials for Getting Started', 'Towards Game Stability', and 'Merge Patch File' sections of the wiki "FNV General Mod Use Advice" article. Among other things it will point out that you have exceeded the "plugin cap". Suggest you read it all if this is your first time installing mods for this game.

 

2) That sort for your "load order" is not correct. For one thing "YUP - NPC Fixes (Base Game + All DLC).esp" belongs much closer to the beginning of the LO, and too many things are "alphabetical". They don't sort out that way. Use LOOT initially at least. Covered in the "General Advice" article.

 

3) "Install order" is just as important as "load order". You need to prioritize which mods are most important to your desired play and install them first. You need to see in your testing if less important ones conflict. Covered in the "General Advice" article.

 

4) Pay particular attention to the advice to NOT install Steam to the default "C:\Program Files" folder tree. It's my understanding that the most recent releases no longer do so, but you really have to move it out of there if it did.

 

5) Most of the rest of your problems seem to be related to "ArchiveInvalidation". Are you using a "mod manager"? they all include a "toggle" for this. Covered in the "General Advice" article.

 

6) Have patience. It takes time to get a stable game modded, but you don't want to lose 80-100 hours of your playthru because you rushed into it.

Thanks Dubious. Yes, I have tried toggling Archive Invalidation many times but the texture problems keep coming and going, even after getting the load order revised. Even after uninstalling NVR3, everything looked okay when hunting geckos with Sunny but returning to the Goodsprings Saloon, everyone had missing faces and weapons were also marked with the red exclamations. I have been looking for threads that help with installation order for the most popular mods, but nothing helpful has come up, apart from one that deals with UI mods only. Either way, I'm planning to wipe everything and start fresh soon, so if there's nothing else to add that can help, this thread can be closed...
