Some of what you want to do is possible, but to turn fallout 4 in to fallout 3/NV is on a practical level extremely unlikely to ever happen. Most of what you want would have to be done via scripting. Having scripts sufficiently complex to do this and have the game remain stable seems like it would be a challenge. The time commitment required would be considerable. The suggestion to get Skyrim and the creation kit for that is a good one. If you already have fallout 4 and or NV you could get some idea from modding those as well. I suspect that the scripting would be similar. I wish you luck, but I think you will probably find such a global overhaul to be very challenging. Maybe start smaller.

You don't need to add a file to a BSA to re-texture something. You can have it loose (in the correct path). Loose files take precedence over the ones in a BSA. Or you can create a new BSA using the FOMM create a BSA tool. For a single texture, I suggest you just use a good path and archive invalidation to add the file to your game.

How many mods have you installed? The max total (including the game files) is 139. You said 'THE MOD' implying a singular mod is giving you a problem. Which makes the obvious questions: Have you tried a different mod? Have you read the install instructions for the mod? Have you tried unpacking the file you are downloading to see if it includes all the files? Also what is the name of the "THE MOD".

I'll bet you skipped the last step.

Run your load order through FNVEdit. Consider making a merge patch (compatibility patch) with FNVEdit (very easy) Consider adding some of the stability increasing mods such as NVAC, YUP, MMUE and possibly NVEC. If it is still a problem, cut mods a few at a time to see which one is buggy.

Which of my original suggestions have you tried thus far?

verify the install with Steam.

It varies. Read the description and installation instructions for each. merge patch is last. YUP is fairly early (first after the esp's is fine) MMUE comes some place after YUP and so on.

Count your load order, max is 139. Depending on which ones and how much resources they need some people have issues as early as 120ish. Check your load order with FNVEdit. Add some of the stability increasing mods like YUP, MMUE and NVAC. Also consider NVEC (not supposed to be a stability patch, but it helped me). Make a merged patch with FNVEdit (compatibility patch)

Glad you got it sorted out. You don't need to give me kudos. I didn't actually help you. Even if I had, it still wouldn't be necessary. As for how to do it... you can click on my backup thingy and from the database side you can give anyone kudos.

138 mods, including YUP and a MERGERand what are you saying? You followed some of my suggestions and I am supposed to read your mind to find out how it is working? Load order has 139 items. Which is still ok, but pushing it. Did you look at the contents of the merged patch to see what it was doing? Is your game performing better so far? wsex is known to cause some problems. Don't recall exactly what it conflicts with but I believe it includes several companion mods (such as Willow). I still suggest that WMXUE is a better choice then WMX for games with lots of mods.

Most of the time texture corruption is caused by too many mods or other thing which is causing too much strain on the game engine. It can also be caused by corrupt texture files and mod conflict. Run your load order through FNVEdit Create a compatibility patch (called a Merged Patch) Consider adding stability improving mods like YUP, NVAC and possibly NVEC. (If you do, you will need a new merged patch). I see you already have MMUE. Load Yup early and MMUE later. If it is still a problem, re-install your game and mods.

New Vegas is or at least was a Steam exclusive. Not sure what uPlay wold be allowed to sell but it probably would not work well with the stuff here since many mod managers and other programs expect them to be in a steam path. I suggest you ask uplay if it is a steam game or not. ... edit ... Ok found this with google: http://www.reddit.com/r/GameDeals/comments/1rqmqb/uplay_fallout_new_vegas_ultimate_edition_5/ In which a couple of users claim they got a steam key. If true, this means it is completely compatible.

Jaege, Not suggesting you get a sports car. If your present computer does it for you, stay with it. No need to upgrade. Your truck analogy falls apart a little since you're not really buying sports cars or trucks... unless you want include specialty built gaming PCs (sports car) with a specialty built workstation (truck), but both of those are HIGH end. I advocated middle to lowend but upgradable. Your present PC is no truck. It is more like a Pinto made from knock-off parts. New shocks and such mean buying stuff compatible with your locked in system and will result in a locked in system with a slightly nicer bit here and there. For example, the two weakest links are the powersupply and the funky case size. The way to make meaningful upgrades is to use your PC until it no longer meets your need and then replace it with one better designed to your long term goals. Have a nice day, Bjorn

this will purge your cell buffers but this may mess up some mods. http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/52428/? Also what you describe is most likely caused by other things. Too many mods Incompatible mods both of the above corrupt save file Too many companions The game has horrible memory management. Keep the load order under 139 use 4gb loader (with NVSE), YUP, MMUE, NVAC (and consider NVEC) Reduce memory use by compressing stray graphics files (http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/46074/?) If you are using NMC's textures drop down a level.. For example, I have a very high end system but only use medium.

highly doubtful it is crashing your game. It is just a texture pack. The files are \Steam\SteamApps\common\Fallout New Vegas\Data you can dig around in there to see if you can find the culprit, or you can uninstall the game and delete the folder and it will remove every stray file not just the NMC texture pack

Tossing good money at a this sort of system is money wasted. The small form-factor means you'll be coping with THAT rather then buying the best 'bang for the buck' in upgrades. Save your money until you can buy a new pc. But just in case you are planning to win the lottery in the next few months and don't mind poorly spent upgrade dollars... the video card you need to look for is a low-profile 7750 http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/HD_7750/24.html But I am strongly recommending that you do NOT do that. Browse NewEgg or your favorite hardware site. You can put together a very snappy computer with out selling off body parts and the end result will be a much more up-gradable system the next time you do this. tomshardware.com has several builds (system configurations) they build from time to time. Look there and settle on a level you want and start shopping... or better still contact someone with the technical training to advice you and build it for you. Most places do not charge more then 100 bucks to assemble and test a PC. Money well spent.

max load order = 139 mods. Missing the mods which increase stability (MMUE, YUP, NVAC I also found NVEC helped me). No merged patch cut your load order maybe begin by replacing wmx with wmxue (throw away all modded weapons in your and all companions first) You have a bunch of mods which do very little (add 1 weapon, for example). Replace them with mods which help you. Then once you get everything in order count your mods and see if you have room in your load order to add a few back.

In the image that is not CASS that is Sunny. You're over the max mods of 139. At least two of your mods which are right next to each other say they are incompatible with one another. You're not using any of the bug fix mods. yup, mmue, nvac you're using many mods which seem to change similar things but you are not using a merged patch (compatibility patch from FNVEdit). The image looks as if one of your mods changed the base model (specifically the skeleton). Could be as simple as using mods which need a body replacer and neglecting to use one (they have different texture mappings).

Run your load order through FNVEdit to check for conflicts. Consider creating a merge-patch (no merging, just a compatibility patch) with FNVEdit. Unless I am missing something (which could be), why do you have someguys.esm when you don't seem to have any someguy mods? Consider YUP and/or MMUE and NVAC as they all help with performance/ stability.

4gb does not care what disk you use. I moved my entire steam catalog a while ago. This meant backup the saves and the load order (for those games which allow mods). Uninstall everything. Delete all the lingering files (including those in your My Games\FalloutNV\ folder. Then re-installed everything (including 4gb, nvse, etc). I'd suggest you check if your INI files maybe were not re-created...

max safe is 139

Count every item in your load order. FNV does not support more then 139. Some people have issues at around 120, most can get in to the 130 range. It depends on the types of mods, how resource greedy. they are, and of course on your PC hardware. Going over 139 will give you problems. It can lead to severe memory corruption and once that happens you can your saved games as they get overwritten with corrupt data. this is the tool I was referring to to re-compress your textures some. Don't get too aggressive or you'll trade one problem for another. Recommend you backup first so you can roll it all back if you need to. http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/46074/?

You can use both. I use NMM for my load order but I use FOMM for some of its utilities.

I'm gonna go with line #1 in your post. You could try adjusting your load list and or load order to see what impact it has. You must be under 139 total mods. Use the texture optimizer to reduce the size of loose textures. used fnvedit to reduce compatility problems. user the stutter reducing utility. Don't forget to check your PC as well... an out of tune Ferrari is not very impressive. Patching, virus scans, background tasks, etc
