GamingGrannyXs3 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 In the description of several mods, I have seen a reference to ArchiveInvalidInvalidated...that has to be created or changed. What is ArchiveInvalidInvalidated? I have seen it referred to as ArchiveInvalidInvalidated.txt and ArchiveInvalidInvalidated!.bsa.I have also seen a reference that you need FO Mod Manager, which I do have. (Do not know how to use FOMM except to maintain load order) There is no archiveinvaliedinvalidated file in my FONV directory or the DATA directory. Could someone please explain this to me, what it is, how is it created, how does it work. Please try to keep your explanation somewhat simple as I know very little about mods and the technical aspect of making changes to files and why. Thanks :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linmor Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 While it doesn't make complete sense to me, the guys who figured it out and the why and how of it, posted everything.

Click it with your mouse. As others have just stated, someone else has done all the hard work and brainstorming for us. The program knows what to do and does it correctly. Just one click.

Nimboss Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) If you install the latest FOMM from herehttp://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36901 And after install, Run it and select Tools from the menu bar, the last option is to toggle Archive Invalidation. Select it and it will start to work. Simple as that. Ah! Herculine beat me, As she said but with other words, still puzzled what to do?
