fronzelneekburm Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Unfortunately under rare conditions your esp mod file can become "corrupted". Usually if you can't get it loaded in GECK (try a reboot) at all good chances it's broken. Try loading it in the game, if it still works in the game it might be opened on another computer (With more RAM?), otherwise it's broken, in that case you could only use an older copy (if you have one).

Interfer0 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 FNV keeps a backup copy of your ESPs under the data folder I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intencemuffin Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 try opening it in Geck or change .bak (Stands for Backup) to .esp. GECK only open data files as esm or espBAK files are not easy to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digmaster Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Change the file extension from .bak to .esm. Depending on what OS you're running (Guessing windows 7), go into control panel>all control panel options(click the arrow next to control panel)>folder options>view>uncheck hide extensions for known file types. if your in windows xp I'd assume its a similar process. Then just rename the file from "hideout.esp.9.bak" to "hideout.esp". then put this file into your data folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
