Better New Vegas Crashes/Messed Up Install

[boowootoo]

So there's this great mod, Better New Vegas, and I try to install the expanded version using Nexus Mod Manager, but it kept crashing. So after the fiftieth time, I figured I didn't do something right. I looked back to the mod page to read the instructions and I'm too f*#@ing retarded to figure out how to properly install it. Any help or clarifications would be nice. Thanks in advance!

post a link to the mod page please so I can have a look see at it.

Based on just what I read here, no need for me to download this. This is another attempt at what TTW has done, "Tales OF Two Waste Lands"

 

This is a instructional mod for user to combine the two games, partially to create a new game world.

There are many ways to mod the games. this is users choice and it is clearly labeled / Posted "Highlighted in bright Green in the spoiler tag here"

sorry , I would love to help you but I am not going to rebuild some ones mod for them. This is for you to play with.
