Yup, made sure the ESPs for all the various texture mods I've tried across these past couple of reinstallations have been active, and still no dice. I'm really hoping I don't have to take the performance hit and just unpack all these BA2s into loose textures just to get them to work. The weird thing is that it just seems to be BA2 texture mods that are acting funky. Any quest mods that have everything wrapped up in BA2s seem to load up and start just fine.

So I'm on my third fresh install of FO4 trying to get this to work. Long story short, I almost finished a load order, got to the textures last, found out NONE of the BA2-based textures would load (loose files are 100% okay), tried fiddling around with all the required ini edits, started over with a fresh install, used Bethini to make sure all the ini edits were on the up and up, started with only installing texture mods- and none of the BA2-based ones would work again. Nuked the install and started fresh again. This time I was able to get Falconoil's textures to load (some of them anyways, impossible to know if they ALL loaded at this point), so I thought the problem fixed itself, but other BA2-based textures still don't work. I'm currently trying to get the textures from the link below to work https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/44251/?tab=posts&BH=0 but they don't. I don't really have a load order to list- the official DLC (not the HD texture pack though), the unofficial FO4 patch, Falconoil's texture pack, and F4SE. I cannot fathom why this is an issue. It's not like Falconoil's is overwriting the above textures either because they don't cover the same textures, plus I've tried rearranging their load order as well. So there's clearly a screwed up setting somewhere or something that I just can't pinpoint. I've trawled the internet extensively the past few days to find solutions for this, and most similar threads elsewhere either weren't answered or never got solved, so I'm at a complete loss here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your question makes NO SENSE. You understand that things are done somewhat differently in FO4, you understand that you can use new tools to RECREATE something similar to a model from another game- yet you still seem to request a ONE BUTTON solution? You seem to be working hard to refuse to accept a truth you already know. It is as if you are saying you want a thing, but don't want to do the work to get a thing. If that is the case, you need to offer your original character to the general modding community, and see if anyone is willing to do the porting work for you. Yikes friend, that's not what I'm asking in the slightest. I was asking if doing this is even possible. Yeesh. Ah, right. Bodyslide. That might actually help a lot. Haven't really touched FO4 mods since I was waiting for the CK stuff to start rolling in, so I wasn't aware if that was even a thing yet. Thanks for the heads up friend. Hmm, I'll look into that. The body I used is based on the basic CBBE body, which is in FO4 now from what I've seen, so I might be in luck with that. Thanks for the tip!

So a number of years ago my friend made a custom character for my personal use (skeleton, model, and textures). I wanted her to do the same thing for me with FO4 so I could carry the same character with me, but she's since given up modding and has no plans to touch FO4. I tried to make the character in FO4 as close to the original as possible, but without the original's custom tattoos and other things it's just not the same. I heard that fallout handles its textures, models, and skeletons in a different manner than Behtesda's older games so I kind of gave up thoughts on jury rigging the character into FO4. So, now that the creation kit is out I was just wondering if it's possible to do this? Hell, I'd even settle for just getting my custom textures and nothing else since those are what really matter. Side note: everything that makes the character up is completely original assets. Nothing belongs to Skyrim, so there should be no issue porting it over in that regard in the event such a thing is possible, right?

So I found out what the issue is... kind of. I turned off each mod one by one starting with the most likely stuff to the least likely. The last one I turned off ended up being the culprit- the bodyslide tool. Now, I'm not saying it's the tool's fault since that thing worked like a charm, but for some unholy reason one of my mods or something else in Skyrim's folders despises me having that thing active. Skyrim had a 100% failure rate with the tool active in NMM, and a 100% success rate with it deactivated. Anybody have the faintest idea of what I could have downloaded that would hate the bodyslide tool so much? Hmm hmm, I see. I've read up some stuff suggesting I do the same regardless of whether I have any problems or not. Off the top of your head do you know what any of that mumbo jumbo stuff actually does to the game?

Exactly as the topic says I end up getting a CTD almost immediately after trying to load a save or start a new game. I've run with similar mod loadouts several times over the years, so I'm a bit befuddled. I had it working several days ago with nothing but the race mods, body mods, hair mods, animation mods, and race menu stuff. Ran LOOT, TES5EDIT, and WRYE BASH which is about as far as my problem solvings skills for this type of problem stop. Any help you folks could provide would be lovely, so thanks in advance.
