Heavily modded NV menus breaking


Recommended Posts

After installing a few mods on top of an already heavily modded game, I began experiencing problems.

Initially, the fast travel corvega mod would ask me whether I wanted to use corvega mode or not on startup, before even getting to the start menu. Except nothing was clickable as the buttons were merged with one another and my cursor was a purple square. After messing around with load order and such, I discovered that I could not move the corvega mod out of a certain range, and also that when I had under a certain amount of mods active, the glitch would no longer occur. Overjoyed, I load up my save, only to discover that after leaving my house my readius would face left and cease usability, pressing pause would do nothing, and an nearby NCR soldier had a missing model error, even though I could still see him. I can post my mod list, but if these symptoms have any glaring resolutions, please, for the love of all that is holy, enlighten me.

Did you know that there is a limit to how many mods you can have before the game starts acting "weird"? There is a programmed warning when you have 139 or more active in the game, but in reality it can manifest anywhere between 130-140 or so, depending upon your system. That you started having problems when you added "a few mods" suggests this is the situation.

 

You may not be aware that the game counts all the mod plugin (ESM and ESP) files installed in the data folder, active or not. In addition, installing some mods may overwrite some vanilla files, so simply disabling the plugin files is not enough to remove their "ill effect". You have to uninstall the mod, and restore the vanilla files. Some mod managers deal with that, others don't.

 

From your description of the interface problems (merged buttons, purple cursor, unclickable buttons), it also sounds like you may have installed a mod that overwrote an XML file used for the menu system. IF that is the case, I suggest you take a look at the wiki article "HUD-UI-Menu Issues".
