Black screen after installing mods.

[talithaulima]

I've had similar problem, I downloaded and merged a makeup mod and I didn't like it, so I removed it and remerged (after deleting modded patch and copied the vanilla one of course), but then all I got is freeze after launching the game, at the loading screen. with the vanilla patch it works but it said that I should download the later version...

 

Idk whether I was wrong on removing the mod, I dont know :( . It worked before, but after disabling the makeup mod it freeze on loading screen. anyway I have patch 7 and used "patch.daimod" fix for later version than 5, it worked before

To fix the problem where you get the error that says you need to have a higher version of the game to load the save, I do this and it works pretty well.

-Navigate to your update file within the game files and go to the new file you just renamed "Patch" after merging your mods.

-find the file called "package," and open that file using notepad. The contents will read like this:

Name patch
Authoritative
Version 9

 

The version number will vary for everyone depending on how many times you've added mods to the game or updated it.

-Change that number, in my case a 9, to the next digit higher. In my case, I change it to 10.

-Save that file and close it.

-Launch your game. This should fix most problems with that error since you just told the game it's a higher level than it really is.

 

If you still get that error, within the game under the Load option, open the list of saves for the particular game you are trying to load. Try to load each save one by one from the most recent down. I found on a couple of games that while it won't load the most recent saves, it would load a save two or three saves down. Yes, you lose that progress but it's better than losing the entire game and having many hours of wasted game time.

FYI: Any time you update or repair the game, this fix will need to be repeated if that error ocurrs again.

 

I hope this works for you, talithaulima, and anyone else that's having that problem. As for the black screen issue, I found it's a mod conflict that's causing it. The only solution I have is to take out the mods you added most recently and add them in one by one. This could take hours so beware. Good luck!
