tony4life Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 My game runs perfectly fine. At times though, meshes or textures go missing, and the only fix is to restart Fallout. Usually it's a missing mesh for an empty whiskey bottle/ texture flicker for armor/purple NPCs. I've toggled invalidation on and off, to no avail. No meshes or textures are missing from their folders, as they appear again after a restart. Is there any permanent solution to this? By the way, if you want to see my mod load order list, please do ask. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loopz Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I've had similar problems in the past, especially in the case of hair/eye mods. It was *usually* fixed with an overwrite from that mod's files (extract/copy again). Of course, personal experiences are exceedingly differing. Sorry I couldn't be of any more help.

Quetzlsacatanango Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 How many mods do you have enabled. I have seen times where when I get to about 100 I start having random missing meshes and textures. Disabling something, or combining plugins to get below the magic number fixes it. I have no idea what the root cause is as the maximum number of plugins is something like 254. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what the root cause is as the maximum number of plugins is something like 254. Total active plugins: 202Total plugins: 422 Does this mean I should disable a chunk of my mods? (Or can I combine them somehow to lower the number...?)Im going to try the replace mesh fix and see if it works. The meshes go missing on vanilla objects too though. Edit: Sometimes instead of a missing mesh or texture, the body part is completely invisible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quetzlsacatanango Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I am guessing you are having the same issue. To test, you can try disabling a few and see if the issue goes away. If you confirm, use the FO3 Plugin Utility to merge some. For example, I have combined all clothing/armor plugins into one .esp which helps a lot.

If you confirm, use the FO3 Plugin Utility to merge some. For example, I have combined all clothing/armor plugins into one .esp which helps a lot. So I've disabled ONE mod (The Telescope.esp) and it fixes my problems.The only thing left for me to do is merge the mods together. Do I do this in the GECK or in Fo3 edit? And if so, how? From what I remember, making a merged patch (manually or automatically) still requires the uncombined Esms to be loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quetzlsacatanango Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 FO3 Plugin Utility is how I do it. Search on Nexus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony4life Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 FO3 Plugin Utility is how I do it. Search on Nexus. Aha, I've found it. Just a few last questions, how are you supposed to be able to select Multiple esps in one load rather than choosing them one by one? Also, can I just go ahead and merge every esm+esp in my list and disregard the rest of those 200+ modules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quetzlsacatanango Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Hold down control for multi select. I wouldn't merge everything like you're suggesting. Even if it works, have fun waiting while the thing loads in GECK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
