Raella69 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Ok so I have a huge problem with some mods. Something is causing my game to crash before it starts and I cannot for the life of me tell what mod it is. Im guessing some textures but whatever. As I have the Steam version, I tried to reinstall the game to get all of the mods out. But after waiting for THREE HOURS, it did not work. Does anyone know how to set the game to its "factory settings" so to speak? Or anything that would help me find the mod? Also, this is happening with my type 3 mod: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/images/34702-1-1289343345.jpg, and as I can't figure out how to correct that, I figured that resetting and re-adding all the mods MORE CAREFULLY would be the best choice. Thanks for reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkgreenme Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I feel your pain. After this install I recommend making a copy of your "Data" folder in a separate location. May be Hard-Drive intensive but saves a headache. Also, have you tried going to the launch screen an ensuring "fallout" is the only thing selected? This should disable any mods but the vanilla game.

Raella69 Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 Yeah, that will be a great idea, but that initial reinstall that I did, did not exactly work. So I need a method to reset the game entirely to get it back to its old settings. Also, turning off the mods would work, but my objective is not to play vanilla FoNV, but I want to play with mods. I just need to completely restore vanilla FoNV and then re-add my mods more carefully, as one file is causing errors and I don't know which one. So I would be adding mods one at a time, knowing which one is causing errors. So, does anyone know how to restore Fallout New Vegas's Data folder to its vanilla format? (Reinstalling doesn't work so don't tell me to) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linmor Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 go into the options for the game in the steam client, and select "delete local content" once its done, go to the directory and wipe out anything it missed.. restart steam and tell it to download the game. (or re-install from the retail copy if you have it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
