Problem is solved, turns out it was a mod after all, specifically the file that remains in the game folder when the mod is disabled. Thanks for the help.

skse crashes regardless if Vortex is running or not. I already tried that, neglected to mention that in OP. Oops. Unfortunately, that did not work.

What I mean by that is that I've added the SKSE loader onto my Steam games library, I'm assuming you didn't know you could do that so yes, you can do that. I'm pretty sure I had both Steam and Vortex running when attempting to open SKSE.

I try to start up SKSE through Steam, the window opens and is black for a couple of seconds, then crashes. I have already tried starting up SKSE with all of my mods disabled, to no avail, I am using the latest version of SKSE available, and running the game from Vortex has the same issue.

For the mask, the Ranger Helmet could possibly be turned into Bane's mask. The mouth area fits well enough. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110503220323/fallout/images/6/65/Ranger_helmet.png Anyways, this is a great idea.

Okay, I figured it out. Thanks dudes.

As I am new to using mods for the PC CD of Fallout New Vegas, I do not know how to use RAR filed mods. Are they supposed to be changed to eps files? Or is there a way to allow them to be used? Please help.
