fronzelneekburm Posted November 17, 2010 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 Posted November 17, 2010 FNV keeps a backup copy of your ESPs under the data folder I think.
Guest deleted2296411 Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 thank you for your help i found a backup name hideout.esp.9only problem is its a BAK file not an esp fileis there a way i can use it again love muffin :pirate:
digmaster Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 try opening it in Geck or change .bak (Stands for Backup) to .esp.

digmaster Posted November 18, 2010 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.
