Fallout 3 Won't load textures correctly...

[Sarge198]

I know what your thinking, he didn't install his mods correctly when copying over texture and meshes. no this is not my problem. So heres whats going on, I load up fallout 3 seems to be working great, usually after a minutes play, then just at random, usually after switching cells I get red triangles and I guess the pink coloring of the skin is a missing mesh? See Screenshot:

So after this I left restarted the game and came back, and now the textures and meshes loaded correctly:

I thought it was fixed until I opened the pip boy:

Strange huh? seems that it could be a save file issue?

 

After playing the game for a while with this strange stuff going on, the menus stop working, the escape button doesn't work, wait (t) doesn't work. pretty much the whole game just stops if I try to switch cells after this, as in: Fallout3.exe has stopped working...

 

 

This is now the third time I have had this issue, the way that I fixed it the second time was by uninstalling EVE, that was just temporary I guess, the first time I did it by reinstalling the game and deleting the meshes and textures folder where my mods are. I could just do that again but would rather not. I really need some help identifying the problem.

 

I'm using fallout 3 version 1.7 with fose 1.2 b3, fallout mod manager, I use its method of invalidation for mods, and I use Fo3Edit and FO3MasterUpdate.

 

Another strange thing that happens is, if I uncheck a mod in fomm, lets say tailor maid, and then load a game, it well works fine I didn't have issues. Then I installed another armor mod and the problem came back.

 

I can provide my load order if needed...

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

 

info on my computer

 

Win 7 Pro x64

AMD Phenom 2 X4

GTX 260 driver version: 257.15

MSI NF980-G65

Corsair 850W PSU

my drivers are updated.

 

I'm not sure if that info is helpful to fix my problem or not.

 

Thanks,

Fix: I had way too many .esp files, around 212 is the max that fallout can handle, I have around 150 now and the game works fine.
