linzerdinzer Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Update: NMCs was causing the problem, but then mysteriously stopped causing it, so now the only suspect mod is Ojo. Also worth noting that the only effect the FNVLODGen-created mod seemed to have is make the background lights blinkier, so that has been disabled. When using the OJO BUENO Texture Pack (and usually while using the NMC Texture Pack) the Lucky 38 building in Fallout: New Vegas becomes invisible. Disabling both mods makes the Lucky 38 reappear, indicating the issue is related to these mods. Despite extensive troubleshooting, the exact cause remains unclear. Corresponding video clip here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-mJiBmsk-TaP81aGpoTEzf9OQstmHHKd/view?usp=sharing What We Know -- The Lucky 38 disappears only when either OJO BUENO (or, usually, NMC Texture Pack Small or Medium) is enabled. The issue persists regardless of whether specific Lucky 38-related .nif files (meshes) are hidden or overridden. Mesh files I've determined to be related to the Lucky 38 exterior so far include: architecture\Strip\Lucky38.NIF architecture\Strip\Lucky38Base.NIF architecture\Strip\Lucky38Top.NIF architecture\Strip\Lucky38Overhang01.NIF architecture\Strip\Lucky38Overhang02.NIF architecture\Strip\Lucky38_B.NIF But OJO BUENO does not contain a dedicated "Strip" folder in its texture directory, suggesting it might modify global or shared textures that indirectly affect the Lucky 38. And textures from NMC related to the Lucky 38 (l38base02.dds, l38base03.dds, etc.) - Hiding (or disabling) these l38base textures in NMC did not fix the issue... originally. But like I said, now it's suddenly working and I'm not sure what changed. (Those files are still hidden.) I used Mod Organizer 2 (MO2) to analyze texture and mesh conflicts in the textures/architecture/ folder and verified that both mods are modifying resources, but nothing directly linked to the Lucky 38. I investigated whether distant LOD models or textures (e.g., lucky38_lod.nif) might be causing the issue, using FNVLODGen to pre-load LOD, and packed those into a mod and deployed using MO2. The process worked smoothly, but unfortunately did not repair whatever damage is being done by Ojo Bueno and NMC. And no definitive evidence of LOD-related files from these mods affecting the Lucky 38, since the problem persists whether the LOD mods are present or not. This mod is currently disabled because it made the lights flicker. And finally, I of course disabled mods incrementally and tested the game with each mod individually disabled. The Lucky 38 reappears only when both OJO BUENO (and NMC most of the time) are disabled, and disappears if either one of them are active. The goal - How do I keep the benefits of Ojo Bueno and NMC textures without the Lucky 38 disappearing?
