Raiders have pink skin! (others too)

[Palandiell]

why is this? Some of the NPCs have weird pink skin not matching their body armors! does this mean I misplaced some file or that I didnt install some file right?HAS ANYBODY HEARD OF THIS???

 

I installed the dimonized file for females but none for men, could this be the problem? if yes, what should I take? just the breeze male?

 

 

edit: so far ONLY raiders have it!

I have this too, I have not installed DImonized mod, but I have installed:

Fellout

FWE

Weapon Mod Kits

Mini Hideout

Coyote Neural Assistance Power Armor

Enclave Commander

Enhanced Weather

Marts Mutant Mod

 

I also had Pipboy PDA installed, didn't like it because I had no pipboy light with it, so I uninstalled, and my pipboy disappeared! I am using FOMM with FOSE, I completely uninstalled, it was still gone, so I had to go back to a save before I installed the mod to get my pipboy back.

 

Anyway, I am going to disable the mods one by one until I can figure out which one is causing my pink raiders and invisible Super Mutants and Ghouls.

You either did not install the mod correctly or you are not using ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated! Please go back to the ReadMe provided with the files.

I am using ArchiveInvalidation, and I got no errors installing the mods using FOMM. I deactivated all the MMM Mods, and the pink skin went away. I re-activated them one at a time, and it never re-appeared, so I am putting it down to a non-reproducible bug. I still have invisible ghouls and Super Mutants, and I have also noticed some (but not all) giant ants are invisible. Still working on isolating this. The fact that un-modified FO3 has bugs in it makes it hard to track down what is caused by a mod, and what is just faulty code from Bethesda, but I never had problems with invisible creatures before mods, except for the occasional one that fell through the ground, and I played FO3 all the way through, so I am going with the theory that one of my mods caused this for now.

Makes it seem as though MMM is responsible for the invisible creatures as well, recommends a manual install. I guess I'll uninstall MMM completely, and see if I can figure out the manual install process. Although the post says the issue is with RC5 version from Aug 2010, and I'm using 6.2 update 3211 downloaded yesterday. I will update after trying this.

did you install the base mod then apply the update??

[HiRezL]

I did not. Can you provide a link to the base mod I need to install first?

 

Also, I looked up a manual install for MMM and couldn't find it, but while searching found info saying loading the mods in a specific order and adding FOIP would help, based on that I now have these mods running in this order. Haven't tried it yet.

Well, after adding FOIP (packages - FOIP - Marts Mutant Mod and FWE & FOIP - Weapon Mod Kits and FWE 6-03) FO3 now crashes on start every time. I was really excited because I played FO3 and FO:NV and all add-ons all the way through, and still wanted more, and mods seemed to provide that, but I am starting to get frustrated.

First off:

Download, install and run BOSS to fix some of the more obvious errors in your load order first. (like the .esp's loading before the .esm's) And pay attention to any warnings/recommendations it gives you.

 

Second:

Also, it's usually a good idea to put lighting mods (like Fellout and Enhanced Weather) at the bottom of your load order.

 

Third:

Mart's Mutant Mod - Tougher Traders.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - Zones Respawn.esp

These are redundant when you have the FOIP patches for FWE + MMM (they're integrated). Not sure about the increased spawns plugins though.

[HiRezL]

Downloading BOSS now. I uninstalled the enhanced weather mod and the game started working again, but the pink guys are back. I will update again after trying BOSS and your other tips.
