Main menu won't show after launching modded FNV w/ NVSE

[toejam888]

I'm sure this is a noobish problem I'm having, but I googled around for it and none of the solutions I've tried so far have worked for me.

 

I'm new to modding and had to reinstall everything a few times. I was about to mod and get Fallout 4 to work, but no such luck with FNV yet. This time I think I'm pretty close, I can even get into the game, but the main menu won't show. There will be the FNV picture in the back where the menu should be but no text. I was fine earlier on in the modding, I was able to run and start a new game after all the core and UI mods were installed, but somewhere along the line of adding the last half of gameplay/overhaul mods it doesn't want to work anymore.

 

I use NMM, NVSE, the 4GB patch thing, FNVedit, and LOOT.

 

A solution I tried (didn't work) was to relocate the "start_menu.xml" file and put it in FalloutNewVegas/Data/menus/ .

 

I haven't applied any cleaning filters in FNVedit though.

 

Here's my mod list and load order. I checked it with LOOT and FNVedit numerous times and get no errors. I had errors before with compatibility patches mostly but fixed those. I'm guessing there is still some kind of compatibility patch I'm missing or some file which LOOT isn't picking up on. Or it's very possible I installed something in the wrong order. Maybe even something with my GameMode?

To begin with, you've exceeded the "plugin cap" with 153 active plugins. The nominal cap is 130-140, but that is a rough estimate and the actual number varies by system and the mods installed.

 

Please see the wiki "FNV General Mod Use Advice" article in it's entirety. You have committed at least some of the errors listed in the "Game won't launch" section.

 

If that doesn't get you straightened out, Please provide ALL the information requested in the wiki "How to ask for help" article. Don't forget to identify things that do not appear in the "load order", such as NVSE and it's related plugins, texture replacements (specifically their larger image sizes: 1024x1024, etc.), and "post-processors" like ENB or SweetFX.
