I've been having a bit of an odd problem the past couple days after a fresh install of New Vegas and NMM. I've been able to download and activate my mods just fine and they appear in the data folder as well but when I got in game no mods were actually in the game and when i close the game and open NMM again if find that all my mods have been unchecked in the plugins tab. If i check them again it doesn't seem to actually do anything as there still won't be any mods in game and they will all be unchecked again when reopening NMM. Not sure what the cause of the is, Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the replies, yeah i'm gonna do it 100% from scratch no ripping/porting, probably use the hockey mask as a base. I hope i can bring quality mods for everyone in the future ;)

So i'm starting to make some armor and weapon mods for fun, iv'e recently been learning blender mainly just for fun. I was wondering about any rules regarding content from other games or movies and such. i've seen plenty of mods that add armor and weapons and things from other games and things, so to what extent is that ok? For example i've been borderlands 2 as Krieg and i'm really fond of him so I thought it would be pretty cool to make his gas mask for fallout new vegas and maybe his outfit. If i made the meshes and textures myself would that be ok to upload? or would it go against some rule or is that safe? (Just for nexus rules i'm not talking about any gearbox copyright laws or things like that ill end up looking that up on my own or trying to make some sort of contact with a gearbox employee.)
