Fresh start

[bigv32]

I have been playing Vegas for a while now and i have been using a lot of mods. My data folder is full and is a mess as there are a lot of mods that I do not use. I want to make a fresh clean start

 

How do I uninstall the game note I have the disk version that installed it as a steam app.

 

Or could I just delete my entire data folder and start fresh?

 

Thanks

The data files selection in the game main menu only looks at the main plugin files (esp or esm I think) to determine what is listed so a quick and dirty solution is sort your data folder by file type then just remove the main plugin files you don't want.

 

Then reinstall the mods you want and always overwrite if other data files exist.

 

I've done that its fast and easy and worked.

 

Where it gets nasty though is if you have a mod that overwrote some master files. You'd want to reinstall the game. You can do that directly through Steam. You can right-click on the game entry in your Steam Library and choose Delete Local Content. When its done you can double check your data folder should be empty, then right-click your Steam game entry again (it is still there) and re-install. Takes awhile but it cleaned eveything up nice for me to start from scratch.

Okay if I unistall it using steam, can I still use my disk to reinstall it? I do not want to use the internet to reinstall my game

Yes. And when you are done Steam will detect its been reinstalled and then update it automatically.
