inability to use mods

[yungskiz]

ill start with a list

 

legal copy of nv installed to the default directory (about to do fresh install if this keeps up)

win 7 64 bit - 6g ram no issues running the game

using nvse

using 4g enabler

using nvse plugin - NVAC new vegas anti crash, hasnt done me wrong so far.

using FOMM

 

so here is where i would post my load order, but it doesnt matter, i recently installed a no esp mod from the nexus replacing some load screens, simple change, i even uninstalled it after i booted the game up because this is where the problems started. i refuse to believe that mod caused all this, but i check the nexus after i get out of work, i downloaded two mods today, only installed one (i only do one at a time to ensure i dont mess things up) and it was running fine before i went into work...

 

it seems that even if a mod is checked its not going to work in game, the only thing i have gotten to work is the pre order mercenary pack, and thats because its fused into my new vegas, i have never actually had that mod activated (i wouldnt use the items it had, i didnt when playing on xbox....no mod problems there lol), but ive been trying new game, pressing esc to check for MCM - mod configuration menu to see if my mods are loaded, and even thats not there, i have re-downloaded, deactivated and deleted mcm then reinstalled, reactivated the new download, and its still not showing up.

 

i know its not just mcm and my game conflicting, in my testing i also have alternative start "loaded" so ill know right from the get go if i start at doc mitchells its still broken, other than that just the new vegas file is active.

 

i have deactivated archive invalidation went in, saved then reactivated it. this did not solve the issue

 

i verified the integrity of my files and i was missing almost 200 files, those downloaded, then i checked again, missing 3 files, re downloaded, did it one more time, missing 1 file, again downloading, checking one last time as i type this and now im missing 2 files, i dont think this is going to solve my issue.

 

i honestly think that this is it....nothing was done that could "break" the game yet now its not working, ive run out of ideas at the moment and i have to be up at six.....

 

im open to ideas, i wouldnt play nv still if it wasnt for mods, and i also cant play vanilla because my pip boy is gone, even in new games, im thinking a fresh install might do it, im going to have to learn how to package mods first, i have a bunch that can no longer be downloaded due to the site going down, and even if i never use them, id still like to have them haha, thanks for reading, i hope someone can help, i can troubleshoot all day long, but i really have nothing to work with here, also contemplating the nexus mod manager, i have it, i just like the simplicity of fomm, but i use nmm for skyrim

 

 

 

update - i can verify that my fomm is not defective, i used nmm without any change in behavior. steam still downloading a single file every time i validate my files, and piriform CCcleaner detects an obsolete software key every time i do that, at this point i think im beyond mod troubleshooting and need to post this in tech support

THIS CAN BE CLOSED

 

please and thank you to the moderator that stumbles upon it.

 

trying to troubleshoot the issue on my own ive come to the conclusion that, based on my situation, i may find or at the least have a better chance of getting help in the tech support section
