I got my answer. For anyone else suffering similar issues: Be aware that by the time of Patch 10 the "sResourceArchive2List =" line is already 850+ characters long. There is a limit of 1000 characters per line beyond which the mod files won't be recognized by the game. You might want to consider renaming your mod files to somewhat shorter (1.ba2, 2.ba2 etc.) to accommodate changes in "sResourceArchive2List" string after yet another game patch.

I've run into some problems after the latest patch. I had to split my mods between sResourceArchive2List and sResourceArchiveList2 in order to get them all to work. Is there a limit to the number of mods or on the number of items that can be listed in each section of the [Archive]?

Thank you!

I really hate to be a bother, but I don't seem to be able to do this. I think the problem might be that I do not have SK. After all, the entire point of removing an SK requirement from a mod I want is because I emphatically do not want to install SK. Is it possible to remove the SK requirement from a mod without having SK installed?

Thank you for your help! I agree that Build Your Own Pool would be perfect for my needs if only it included the Institute water steps which are the building element I am most interested in. I am a complete newbie to modding. I'm guessing I'd be able to do the first two steps, but I don't understand what you mean by "clean masters"? Also, where would I find SK keywords? And where would I find a list of suitable vanilla replacements?

There is a great-looking little mod called Fallout Pool Party which adds the ability to create swimming pools, including the falling water steps from The Institute. Unfortunately, the mod was last updated the better part of half a year ago, back when SK was a thing. Now that SK is no longer useful, I was hoping the modder would create a new version that does not rely on it. But the modder seems to have dropped off the modding scene. Anyone know how to strip the SK requirement from a mod? Or the best place to go to get this done? Alternately, does anyone know a good mod that offers the same?

Try Half width shack walls by CitizenRandom.

The Alternate Settlements mod introduces a beautiful variety of snappable carpets and wallpapers, but it suffers from immense bloat and relies on Settlement Keywords, a mod that has often been the source of conflicts and problems. A few other mods have added carpets, but I have not seen snappable ones. And to my surprise, I have never seen another mod offer wallpapers. I would love to see a mod that gives a variety of floor and wall covering, including carpets and wallpapers, tiling and paneling.

In response to post #36179015. #36184145, #36187930, #36192500 are all replies on the same post. I originally signed up for the Beta because there are bugs in the base game that the beta fixes. Having opted out of the Beta now that it disables mods, I find myself struggling with the same broken features that I joined the beta to solve... none of the fixes that the beta has implemented have been carried over into the proper game.

Thanks for responding! I am fully aware of the three-hour restriction. The mod I'm trying to rate was downloaded over a year ago. (Although I did re-download it yesterday in an effort to fix the problem.) The mod was rated moths ago, and then I removed my rating when an upgrade was issued. (Nexus did allow me to remove the rating.) I have now played through the mod with the upgrade and am ready to rate it, but the system will not allow me to, giving me the disclaimer that I either haven't downloaded the mod or have downloaded it too recently. Even the most recent downloading of the mod has been nearly 24 hours ago, well beyond the 3-hour limit. Notably, this is not the first time I have been unable to rate a mod that I have downloaded days, weeks or even months prior to attempting to rate. (I believe in playtesting a mod thoroughly before issuing a rating.) I have tried clearing the browser cashe as suggested and restarting my browser. It has not helped.

Several times, I have attempted to rate a file on the Fallout 3 Nexus, only to get the message denying me the ability to rate the file, regardless of how long ago I downloaded it. Usually, I am eventually able to rate the file, but only after multiple tries spanning several days. Currently, I have found myself unable to re-rate a file that I removed my previous thumb-rating on due to the mod receiving a major overhaul. Any suggestions?
