Fallout New Vegas: Error: Missing Master! Check mod load order

[cody5421]

HI, I'm have some troubles modding my FNV. I started playing fallout new vegas again after a long hiatus but I wanted to play with my old modded game. I started it up and it worked fine until I made a new char. Nothing was working, anything that was modded in had a red exclamation mark (yes I know that means it cant find a texture) and when I looted boxes all my items overlapped and I couldn't loot or store anything, so I went to my FOMM package manager uninstalled everything and re-installed it in the right order hoping that would fix it. Then I ran it and got the error

---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
Missing Master! Check mod load order.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
So I ran BOSS and changed my load order to what it specified. It still didn't work, same error same problem. So I was hoping someone would go through my mod load order and tell me what I missed (because I went through it about 5 times and found no problems but it still wouldn't work)

So, heres my load order

I counted 151 files in your load order. This exceeds the theoretical limit of 139. By the way, the ! in the red area is the sign of a missing mesh, not texture.

 

The Lings.esm and LingsPrettyThings.esp are not listed here on the nexus. Are you sure they are for Fallout:New Vegas?

1. theres a theoretical limit? what does that even mean? 2. mesh texture same thing 3. i got Lings Coiffure of the FNV nexus so yea im sure they are for new vegas, maybe its just been removed from the nexus then? because i did download it like 3-4 months ago.

Yes, there is a limit to the amount of files you can be using. It is around 139 +/- depending on your equipment, load order, mod type, file size, etc.

 

Meshes are not the same as a texture. That is why there are two different folders in your game. One for the mesh (basic shape) and one for the texture (color and details).

 

Good luck with your game.

Maybe some of those mods need to be updated if you haven't played in a while. You might need to verify the integrity of your game cache on Steam. A missing master should be pretty easy to find with FNVedit. http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/34703/?

Thank you so much! FNVEdit told me what the problem was and I fixed it! The problem was one of my mods relied on the WMX-HonestHearts.esp however I was using the merged dlc esp so it wasn't working but I re-activated the WMX-DLC mod and selected non merged and it fixed it entirely! (after I reordered them in my load order of course)
