I'm trying to figure out what mod an NPC and his home belong to. I'm pretty sure it's one of the older giant mods like NVInteriors, Mission Mojave, Simply Uncut, New Vegas Restoration, etc. Directly north of the North Freeside Gate (and only a few seconds of walking away from it) is a Mojave Express building. Attached to that building is a smaller building with a fenced gate. Going through it and into the door just behind the gate, you end up in a cell called Hunter's Place. Opening the door at the top of the stairs, you're greeted with a bottlecap mine, a neat little living room, and a very angry man in reinforced combat armor named Kyle Hunter, wielding a 5.56mm pistol. There's a door leading to a kitchen area, which is where Kyle initially is, and a locked door leading to a small room containing all manner of high-value supplies, weapons, armor, and meds/drugs. What mod is he from?? There are old videos on Youtube of people going through that place, so it's relatively well-known I'd like to think, but for the life of me I can't figure out what mod he's from.

I would like to suggest a sorely-needed feature for Vortex- the ability to sort through your mods by the time of downloading and/or installing. This would help greatly for people who install mods in bunches, who need to locate mods according to when they got them.

Update: I disabled Mikoto Beauty and Mojave Delight, and now everything's working fine. Thanks for the help and advice!

I've had all 3 of those for a long time and they've never caused issues before. I'll try disabling one or two and seeing what happens though. The 7 plugins I have installed are from Project Nevada's individual DLC plugins, and I can't seem to get rid of those without completely removing the mod, so I just ignore them. I thought the mod limit for FNV was 200 or so? I have a Heap Replacer mod, New Vegas Stutter Remover, New Vegas Tick Fix, and of course NVAC, and those are all that I remember. I can't seem to find any others, so I'll assume for now that that's all I have.

I used downloaded and used LOOT, and now I get the bug where the main menu loads, but none of the buttons/UI appear. Apparently that means the load order is incorrect, but because I have NVAC the game doesn't actually crash. I read through the guide and couldn't find any helpful info. What should I do?

Every NPC has the white exclamation mark inside a red diamond sign instead of faces. I assume this means all the NPCs are missing their face textures. I've checked for file conflicts in both Vortex and FOMM and found none. I've done my best to organize the load order of texture mods. I will put my load order below. If any other information is needed, please let me know. --------------------- FalloutNV.esmDeadMoney.esmHonestHearts.esmOldWorldBlues.esmLonesomeRoad.esmGunRunnersArsenal.esmClassicPack.esmMercenaryPack.esmTribalPack.esmCaravanPack.esmYUP - Base Game + All DLC.esmFCOMaster.esmInterior Lighting Overhaul - Core.esmVurt's WFO.esmELECTRO-CITY - CompletedWorkorders.esmNVInteriors_Core.esmNVInteriors_ComboEdition.esmBlue Hotel.esmenclavebunker.esmProject Nevada - Core.esmProject Nevada - Equipment.esmCFWNV.esmSomeguySeries.esmProject Nevada - Rebalance.espInterior Lighting Overhaul - L38PS.esmELECTRO-CITY - Highways and Byways.esmNVR-Strip.esmVanessaFollowerNV.esmProject Nevada - Cyberware.espKhanInitiation.espMore Traits.esmGRARG.esmMore Perks.esmProject Nevada - Extra Options.esmTh3OverseerCore.esmMikotoBeauty.esmYUP - NPC Fixes (Base Game + All DLC).espUnofficial Patch Plus.espUnofficial Patch Plus - Addendum.espFCO - Race Addon.espMission Mojave - Ultimate Edition.espNVR-Version_10.espNVInteriors Addon.espSimply Uncut - New Vegas.espFCO - NPC Changes.espProject Nevada - Rebalance Complete.espProject Nevada - All DLC.espEliza.espIMPACT.espdD - Enhanced Blood Main NV.espProject Nevada - Gun Runners' Arsenal.espEVE FNV - ALL DLC.espVanGraffOverhaul.espIMPACT - AllDLC.espMMUE-CP-EVE.espWeaponModsExpanded.espFCO + YUP.espEnergy Weapons MERGED.espWMX-DLCMerged.espWeaponrebalance.espWeapon Retexture Project.espSimply_Uncut_-_WRP.espMore Perks Update.espBlue Hotel (Esp).espDepthsOfDepravity.espBrighter Lucky 38 suite.espCentered 3rd Person Camera - Unraised.espJackpotAMR.espJIP Companions Command & Control.espCourier Vests.espNo NPC Compass Ticks.espPerkEveryLevel.espReal Recoil.esp1nivVSLArmors.espRussell.espARESproject.espHeadhunting.espNorthRoad.espsimplyuncutdialogtopicmain5dlcCompatibilityPatch.espCFW-DLC.espProject Nevada - WMX.espProject Nevada - IMPACT.espThe Storyteller.espMMUE-CP-Electrocity.espMikeBurnFire Complete.espCompanion Sandbox Mode3.espA Better Veronica.espMMUE-CP-NVInteriors.espMore Traits Update.espBillyV666.espNVR-NPCs.espPowerArmorRevamped.espHiddenBunker.espNVR-ELECTRO-CTIY_Patch.espBrigComp.espWastelandthings.espVGO-FCO3.0-Patch.espSU-NV The March West.espAssassins v1 The Organ Harvesters.espCAGE 1.9.3.2.espCheckpointGary.espThe Courier.espTripleBarreledShtgn.espDIM TYPE3clothesRETAIL.espFollower Home Marker.espThe Mod Configuration Menu.espProject Nevada - Better Sprinting.espProject Nevada - Cyberware Additions.espILO - PipBoy Light.espILO - YUP Patch.espUnlimitedCompanions.espUnlimitedCompanions SCRIPT FIX.espUnofficial Patch Plus - Project Nevada Patch.espProject Nevada - EVE All DLC.espWMX-ArenovalisTextures.espWMX-EVE-AllDLCMerged.espWMX-POPMerged.espNVInteriors_Rewritten.espMMUE-CP-ILO.espModdable Unique Weps.espExtraFreesideGates.espThe Courier - Patch for Project Nevada.espMojaveDelight.espMikotoBeauty.espRoberts_NewVegas.espInterior Lighting Overhaul - Ultimate Edition.espILO - NVInteriors Project.espBetter Game Performance.espNevadaSkies.esp Total active plugins: 129Total plugins: 136

You're welcome, this certainly isn't my first rodeo with troubleshooting janky games and I know how much providing details makes your job easier lol. I figured the menu hangs and save hangs had some kind of difference. I'll read those sections, thanks. Regarding DirectX9- Just yesterday I found that section of the guide. I manually installed DirectX9, unpacked the files to a desktop folder, ran the setup exe (as administrator) and then deleted the desktop folder like the guide says. That solution so far seems to have done nothing at all, unfortunately. Steam is not installed in the default location, it's installed directly to the D drive (D:\Steam). I have New Vegas Stutter Remover installed. I'll read those sections as well. I am not receiving any "missing masters" errors, and to the best of my knowledge, I've made sure all compatibility patches are loaded after their target plugins. I read the Merge Patch File of the article, but I'm afraid I understood none of it. I'm familiar with The Rule of One and I take measures to appease that rule when configuring my load order. The merge patch stuff is, quite honestly, too much to process and take in. In the meantime, while I'm reading up on those sections of the guides you linked, is there anything I need to do to the game, or my load order, or anything?

Half of the time I launch the game, it immediately freezes at the copyright slide. If the game manages to get to the main menu, one of two things happen: 1. The background image is displayed but the menu isn't, and I have to restart. 2. Everything works and I can proceed to loading a save. If I am able to begin loading a save, one of three things happen: 1. The game completely freezes after about 5-10 seconds. 2. The game loads, but everything other than my HUD is invisible and there's no audio, forcing me to restart. 3. The save loads successfully, and the game allows me to play for about 15 minutes before it randomly crashes again. I've tried reinstalling the game, reinstalling all my mods (which initially worked months ago when I had similar problems, but after taking a break since March the crashes are back), making sure I've got nothing else running, and yet nothing prevents the problems. The crashes are relentless. I've only been able to put 1 hour and 20 minutes into a new game, but I've spent 3 hours playing the game between yesterday and today, trying to coax the game into running properly. I'm losing my mind. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Computer specs: Processor: Intel i7-8700 @ 3.20 GHz GPU: GTX 1060 3GB RAM RAM: 16 GB Monitor: 1920x1080 @60hz OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit installed on an SSD 1 TB Hard drive with 60GB of free space (also I last updated my graphics drivers in January if that helps) Running a Steam copy of New Vegas (with all DLC) with NVSE and FOMM Mods load order: FalloutNV.esmDeadMoney.esmHonestHearts.esmOldWorldBlues.esmLonesomeRoad.esmGunRunnersArsenal.esmClassicPack.esmMercenaryPack.esmTribalPack.esmCaravanPack.esmYUP - Base Game + All DLC.esmInterior Lighting Overhaul - Core.esmNVInteriors_Core.esmVurt's WFO.esmSomeguySeries.esmFreesideOpen.esmELECTRO-CITY - CompletedWorkorders.esmNVInteriors_ComboEdition.esmInterior Lighting Overhaul - L38PS.esmMore Traits.esmProject Nevada - Core.esmNevadaSkies.esmFCOMaster.esmProject Nevada - Equipment.esmProject Nevada - Rebalance.espCFWNV.esmELECTRO-CITY - Highways and Byways.esmVanessaFollowerNV.esmMore Perks.esmProject Nevada - Cyberware.espProject Nevada - Extra Options.esmMikotoBeauty.esmYUP - NPC Fixes (Base Game + All DLC).espMission Mojave - Ultimate Edition.espNVInteriors Addon.espSimply Uncut - New Vegas.espBrighter Lucky 38 suite.espILO - Nevada Skies Patch.espILO - PipBoy Light.espILO - YUP Patch.espProject Nevada - Rebalance Complete.espProject Nevada - All DLC.espNVInteriors_Rewritten.espIMPACT.espdD - Enhanced Blood Main NV.espEVE FNV - ALL DLC.espIMPACT - AllDLC.espFCO - NPC Changes.espFreesideOpenPatch.espMore Perks Update.espUnofficial Patch Plus.espMMUE-CP-EVE.espWeaponModsExpanded.esp1nivVSLArmors.espRussell.espsimplyuncutdialogtopicmain5dlcCompatibilityPatch.espMMUE-CP-Electrocity.espCourier Vests.espMikeBurnFire Complete.espCompanion Sandbox Mode3.espMMUE-CP-NVInteriors.espFCO + YUP.espEnergy Weapons MERGED.espWMX-DLCMerged.espProject Nevada - WMX.espPowerArmorRevamped.espMore Traits Update.espVincentVincent.espHiddenBunker.espNCRTrooperOverhaul.espSU-NV The March West.espCAGE 1.9.3.2.espWMX-ArenovalisTextures.espWMX-EVE-AllDLCMerged.espNevadaSkies - Brighter Nights.espThe Mod Configuration Menu.espPerkEveryLevel.espProject Nevada - Better Sprinting.espProject Nevada - EVE All DLC.espReal Recoil.espProject Nevada - Cyberware Additions.espSimply Uncut NV - Freeside Open Patch.espWeapon Retexture Project.espUnlimitedCompanions.espUnlimitedCompanions SCRIPT FIX.espWMX-POPMerged.espUnofficial Patch Plus - Project Nevada Patch.espNo NPC Compass Ticks.espMojaveDelight.espJIP Companions Command & Control.espJackpotAMR.espMMUE-CP-ILO.espUnofficial Patch Plus - Addendum.espModdable Unique Weps.espProject Nevada - IMPACT.espCFW-DLC.espCentered 3rd Person Camera - Unraised.espFollower Home Marker.espFCO - Race Addon.espA Better Veronica.espAssassins v1 The Organ Harvesters.espTripleBarreledShtgn.espDIM TYPE3clothesRETAIL.espMikotoBeauty.espRoberts_NewVegas.espBetter Burned Man.espInterior Lighting Overhaul - Ultimate Edition.espILO - NVInteriors Project.espBetter Game Performance.esp Total active plugins: 109Total plugins: 110 If there's any additional info I need to provide, let me know.

I purged, then hit deploy, and the "Deploying mods" thing flashed on the screen for about a tenth of a second then went away. Nothing happened unfortunately, everything's still the same.

Ten...days...later...anybody out there...anybody who gives a damn, please? Nothing I've tried yet has fixed it.

I come from the future...I am here to talk mods and to chew bubblegum...and I'm all out of bubblegum. I would love to know what/if any progress has been made toward the goal of romancing our favorite New Vegas companions?

The last time I used Vortex was a good few months ago. Today I decided I wanted to play Fallout: New Vegas again, and thought it would be fun to find a new mod or two. So I found a companion mod on Nexus and installed it. When it finished installing, Vortex froze and stopped responding. I closed out of it and restarted Vortex. It never got past the splash screen. I heard a Windows error noise (or whatever the sound is that plays when something goes wrong) and saw that Vortex had stopped responding. No dialogue box or anything, just frozen. Closed out and restarted, did the same thing. I repeated this a number of times to no avail, so I decided to uninstall and reinstall Vortex. Since I couldn't get into Vortex to uninstall it, I used the Programs & Features uninstaller, then downloaded the latest version of the Beta from Nexus. Vortex started up just fine, the mod I had installed only needed enabling, and off I went to play New Vegas. Later, I decided I felt like playing Skyrim SE. This is where we arrive at my current problem. I switched modes from New Vegas to Skyrim SE in Vortex, only to find that every one of my mods had been duplicated. The original versions say "uninstalled", and the duplicates are disabled. What's stranger is that although it says all the mods are either disabled or uninstalled, under Plugins, everything is there, enabled, and just like normal. I started up Skyrim to see how the game itself reacted, and it played just fine, no problems with any mods, other than SKSE saying something about needing an update. Exited out of Skyrim and went to the Nexus forums to see if anyone else had a similar problem. Turns out this is a somewhat common issue, and many times you apparently just need to re-deploy the mods...well, when I did that, nothing happened, except that under Plugins, all the mods are now gone. Not even disabled or anything, just disappeared. Under Mods, it's still the same, duplicates "disabled" and originals "uninstalled". It looks like I'm forced to re-enable/re-install each mod if I want to play Skyrim again, although I have no idea what to do about the duplicates, nor do I know whether or not to enable/install the duplicated mods or the original mods. EDIT: Checked my other games. No Man's Sky is perfectly fine, but Oblivion is also messed up. According to the Mods tab I have *no* mods, but under Plugins, all the mods are there. They were disabled though.

So it turns out it was a mod. Specifically it was Umbra Island. I disabled everything and re-enabled all my mods six at a time, testing the game each time until I found which one was causing problems. I knew it was a mod...if anyone in the future has a problem like what I had, hopefully it's a also just a simple case of malfunctioning mods.

Apologies, for some reason rm200 and HadToRegister, your replies didn't show for me until after I made my reply, and then edited it. I tried using Fallrim Tools, and didn't work. Thank you though. And I would load an earlier save, however every one of my save files are corrupted. What can I do to be able to start a new game again?

The first one didn't work, unfortunately. The second one leads me to suspect something major is happening with my mods: Without deploying my mods, my save files still say corrupt, however I can start a new game. *But* if I do deploy the mods, save files are corrupt still, and I *can't* start a new game. What could I do to figure out what's going on from here?
