i'm new to vortex and am trying to play fallout new vegas but vortex is confusing me

[greasymansweat]

hey guys, i was wondering if someone could walk me through what the hell to do so i can finally play fallout new vegas with the mods i have installed. it is saying things like: "mod rules contain cycles" and shows me a giant list of mods, "there are unresolved file conflicts." And when i go to deploy the mods it says, "deployment not possible when you have cyclical mod rules." I have been trying to play fallout new vegas fro months but i dread the thought that i'm going to hae to sit here and dive into this s#*! for likel 2 hours of misery when all i wanna do is relax when i get off work lol. thats it. can someone help me? like discord screenshare and guide me through it? it would be much appreciated.

You probably installed a ton of mods all at once without checking for conflicts? Then you told Vortex to use circular rules for how it overwrites mod files that are contained in more than one mod. 

It's best to go slower and resolve conflicts after each one is found. You can use the graph to help you disentangle the conflicts. Or just start disabling conflicting mods til you get to an order that works, then go from there.
