well, suppose i got a little too curious and decided to give it a shot with a backup copy ready if it doesn't work. however, surprise surprise, it actually did work, all I had to do was replace all of the text data of the references with 00 on the hex side, and it worked perfectly fine. it had no real reason to have been referencing those mods, thus it didn't really seem to care that the references were removed, and I was able to edit the mod as usual. Thx for the suggestion to use a hex editor tho, I would've never thought of that lol

Wait, does this mean I could just hex edit out all of the master file references and not have to bother with that? Or would that just break everything even more? I also want to remove the reference to the crash save file, so if this does work, that would be useful.

So, I'm working on a custom companion and I'm having an issue with FNVEdit regarding circular references. For whatever reason, the mod has itself as a master, and I can't seem to find a way to stop this. I can't open it in FNVEdit to remove the dependency, and there doesn't seem to be anything I can do in the GECK. Reverting to a previous version does nothing, it still references itself as a master file. I really don't want to redo all of this work, if anyone has a solution, please let me know. This occurred after a crash in the GECK when editing topic names, if that helps. And no, loading the crash save doesn't help either. It also relies on the main file as a master, and can't be loaded without it.

This worked perfectly!! Thank you so much <3

For reference, the pic above is me standing at the side of the Tops, aiming at the wall to the side. No zoom whatsoever. Going into a scope is basically just giving myself tunnel vision and a straighter shot, rather than actually helping me see any farther away. Y'know, like what a sniper rifle is supposed to be used for. I've been searching for over a week and can't find any other posts regarding this issue... x.x;; I also have pics of the dialogue and VATS zooming not working too, but idk if I'm allowed to post links to a google drive folder or whatever here.

So, until now, everything regarding this has been absolutely fine. Sniper scopes, perfect, magnified, long range. Dialogue, zooms right in on the character speaking. Suddenly outta literally nowhere, it stops working. I can't zoom in with sniper scopes, and dialogue zoom is also broken. Absolutely no clue what could have caused this. Oh, and VATS doesn't zoom in either, it's basically unusable. Help??? I have a few mods that I think might be to blame for this, but all of them have worked properly up until now. >Wide Scope View - Sniper Zooming >Anniversary Animation Pack >Enhanced Camera 1.4c >EVE - Essential Visual Enhancements - EVE 1.18 >Just Hold Breath >New Vegas Reloaded >UIO - User Interface Organizer >Unified HUD Project v3.7 If any of these could have caused it, or you know a mod that might conflict with these that I didn't mention that could cause it, please let me know.
