ok.. i tried this last night. i might have made an error extracting the files. i couldnt select all of the files within the particular bsa's. i had to click extract all. that might have led to what i had issues with. maybe not. after following all the steps i loaded the game, brought up the console (gamepad players will need to switch over to keyboard controls to bring up the console) typed in coc springvale and poof i was there. whats weird is that practically nothing was theres. thousands of red excalamation points were everywhere. no buildings were there. all megaton was a large crater. couldnt find the door. rivet city was not there, harkness and the other guard were just floating around where they should be. i did find the door to vault 101 but of course its locked. interiors looked normal, but the outside was screwed. are there not other textures to extract? im going to try some expirimentation tonight.
