Mod Issues Newbie

I know its a possible mod list issue, but I think I'm missing a mod requirement. Here is my mod list Please help. I've made sure and I've checked for the requirements.

1) install every mod you are going to use

2) run loot

3) run FOMM and correct load order and double check for missing dependencies in the archive and data tabs

4) run FNVEdit and verify load order, also in the left pane, right click, then choose other then the MERGED PATCH option

 

When running this many mods you HAVE to use a merged patch so they all play nice together, the merged patch will also handle leveled lists for any mods that add items, make sure the merged patch is ALWAYS loaded last in your load order, NO EXCEPTIONS, unless using an ENB

 

Any time you add or delete a mod to your load order you will need to repeat steps 2-4

Download and run FNVEdit. Make sure you read the installation instructions, it is not a mod and does not install like one.

 

When opened it will load your current load order, and it will let you know if there's something wrong with it. If it tells you there's a missing file when trying to load a plugin, then you got your problem.

 

From now on, do not install more than one - at most two - mods at a time. Everytime you add something, make sure you test your game to make sure it's stable.

[gromulos]

I run around 138 mods in my load order on each play through and have never had any problems installing them all at once.

 

If you follow my instructions above, you can load all 255 ( maximum allowed ) mods all at once and still have a stable playable game, i've done it

[Ladez]

Then you're either very careful or very lucky. I'm not saying something is bound to go wrong, everything may work perfectly, and if you know what you're doing it usually will. But when it doesn't, you will have no clue as to what mod caused your problem. So for the sake of easy troubleshooting, don't install everything at once. Especially if you're a self professed newbie.

 

I also find it hard to believe that you've managed to run 255 at once. That is the theoretical limit, but most start to have problems long before that.

[gromulos]

I only did it once and only did the main quest, so i was done with the playthrough in something like 3 or 4 days worth of playing, did it mainly just to see if I could lol :tongue:

 

But seriously, if you use all 3 programs you're almost guarenteed to have the best possible load order and thus far less problems in the game, my method also works for FO3 and Skyrim, although with Skyrim it's a little more extensive so requires more guidance for new people to modding :)

I can play as long as I don't use NVSE. Opening the launcher I can play. Now I have all three installed, made prior changes before coming here but I don't know what could be causing the issue for NVSE.

Thank you for the replies and sorry for my late response

That's not going to work, later in the game you will have MAJOR problems, there are at least 2 or 3 mods in your load order that require it

 

You NEED that merged patch, once you have it you should be able to use NVSE with no problem, also, NVSE does not install like a mod, it should be done manually, or with the executable
