prensa Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) DrTredBear - Hello! Check the mods you are making are ending up in your: Fallout 3\Data EDIT: That will be your Fallout New Vegas Data folder in your case, I'm used to Fallout 3. :smile: If so, are they ending up named something like MyMod.esp, or is it being named with a different extension like .tes? If it has a different extension you can change that .tes to .esp & it should work fine. If your mod is not there at all it's probably been redirected to a hidden folder. Both of these things can happen if you're using Vista/Win7 & saving into the Program folder, it means GECK does not have clearance to save there. Try right clicking GECK & running as Administrator, you should be able to save as .esp's that way. Hope this helps!

prensa Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) DrTredBear - Hello! Remove the .tes, leave it with just .esp like: MyMod.esp & it should work just fine. To prevent it happening in the first place either allow GECK security access to your Data folder or just right click on the GECK.exe & "Run as Administrator", that will allow GECK to save files you're working on as .esp's. Also make sure the .esp's you're working on in GECK are not open in another program like FONVEdit at the time of saving as that would also prevent it being saved properly. Hope this helps!

Prensa When I went to save the world save as "MyMod.esp" in the data folder, it said "save as type: TES Plugin Files (*.esp) and it only let me pick that option, what should I do then? I am thankful for your effort to help me, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prensa Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 DrTredBear - Hello! No need to resave it through GECK to get your .tes named mod working. Just go into your Data folder & right click on it & rename the .tes to .esp like: MyMod.esp It will then show up in your mod manager & can be ticked & used as normal.
