[Reaper2507]

Hello there :smile:

 

i desperatly need help from someone with experience without my sunday would be destoryed i got the following problem... my Fallout New Vegas Crashed my Computer needet a Restart and after this my Falout Mod Manager don't work anylonger therefore the mods don't load.. i fixed this by adding the Nexus mod Manager so i could at least activate them "per hand" again.. but now im unable to manage my mods since i installed all with FOMM

 

i tried to reinstall FOMM without deinstalling it and hoped for the best.. sadly it still does not run

Your FOMM screenshot is the same as the second one from NMM. Can you upload a new one or tell me what happens?

in "short" windows crashes telling me "FOMM didn't load" its without any error number or further information just that it can not load the EXE file.. just like NewVegas when you hafe a bad load order

Damn. That makes it hard to find out what happened.

 

You could try completely removing FOMM and reinstalling it again. Your mods will still be there. If you backup the FalloutNV folder in C:/Games your packages will also still be there I think. The uninstaller should have an option to leave it behind if I remember correctly.

im a bit confused isn't falloutnv not the NMM datafolder?Im

 

a bit afraid of removing fomm because i got everything to work up fine . it just buggs me that i can not remove mods anylonger like removing and adding if something bad happened..

[Ladez]

Like I said, removing FOMM will not mess with your mods. First of all, your mods are stored in the New Vegas data folder, completely separate from FOMM. Secondly, FOMM stores all data about your mods in C:\Games\FalloutNV, which is also separate from the installation folder, so you can safely uninstall the program completely and reinstall it again. I just tried it - the uninstaller does not touch any files in the mentioned folder. Everything is as it was before. So there's nothing to worry about :wink:

thanks very much

 

is there a way to add the installed mods to NMM too so that i can manage them with both programms?

[Ladez]

That sounds odd. But you got it working, so what does it matter. :)

 

I don't know much about NMM - I've only used it for Skyrim, and I haven't played that for close to a year. In any case, I don't think it's wise to use two mod managers for the same game simultaneously. I think it's best to make a choice and stick with it, and since you already have everyting set up with FOMM you should probably stick with that for now.

[Reaper2507]

well you may be right :)

 

but this "incident" gave me some "Fear" to lose my game because of a crash.. is there a easy way to backup the current settings to that will not happen ?

If worked hard on my mod's and load order and even ingame Mod settings to archive a really hard falloutgame that feels like late 80s games and it would really hurt if i loos the modsettings again without recoverying...

 

thanks anyway kinda saved my sunnday night *g*

Navigate to the following folders and delete them.

 

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\FOMM

and

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Black_Tree_Gaming

These folders store program settings for FOMM and NXMM, so the next time you run them you will have to set them up again.

 

DO NOT set them both to use the same folders for mods or install info.
