Very annoying and unique problem with FOMM and NV

[crossdressinate]

I recently bought FNV on Steam during the sale and I got FOMM and installed it, when I try to install NVSE, any other mod or update FOMM I get this: Something bad seems to have happened. As long as it wasnt too bad, a crash dump will have been saved in C:\User\xxx\documents\FOMM\crashdump.txt Please include the contents of that file if you want to make a bug report. and when i go to the crashdump.txt and open it it comes up with this.

I've reinstalled FOMM many times and it still comes up. I'm reinstalling NV now. Any help would be awesome!

For starters, the Update button on FoMM will cause the program to crash every time. The file and/or server it's looking for don't exist, and the program can't handle that, so it crashes.

 

You might also have an issue with FoMM crashing for seemingly no reason. It appears to be a bug in the newest version, getting an older version from the Sourceforge page here might solve the issue.

 

FoMM also doesn't install anything but mods. Any of the menu options in it (with the exception of the parts of the tools menu) are handled by externally installed programs. So you would need to get NVSE from here.

Sorry I'm quite new to Fallout modding as well as the FOMM that supports both FO3 and FNV. I'm used to using the FOMM for just FO3 so I never got the directory setup. I'm guessing that placing the mod directory and install info is common sense but I want to be 100% sure now so I don't have to redo anything. I'm using the last FOMM before the current update now btw. I'm guessing mod directory goes in "steamapps\common\fallout new vegas\data" or just "common\FNV?" And Install info shouldn't really matter?

I still get a crashdump...

Ok I installed NVSE to the new vegas directory and whenever I launch NV it just crashes even before the copyright and bethesda screens.
