TinyMonsters Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Hey all! New to this whole modding thing and wanted to try my hand at adding some mods to NV. I seem to be having an issue with the Nevada Skies mod. Im prob doing everything wrong anyway lol but my issues is when I have the mod active with Nexus Mod Manager, I load the game up and it crashes before getting to the first loading screens. I have two other mods working at the moment. NMC's texture pack (small) and the one that has to be with that for it to run. Is there something im missing for the Nevada Skies mod? I tried looking online and it dont seem to need another mod for it to run. Also, I have no idea what load order is or how to see what load order i have. Hopefully someone out there could help me with this! thanks! Tiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) Someone new to modding in general should read the "FNV General Mod Use Advice" article. It explains "load order", "install order" "plugin caps" and all sorts of other things you desperately need to understand going forward. Then for your problem getting to the first loading screens, check out this section of the "Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting" guide. "Nevada Skies" is a "graphics" mod. Check out the "comments" section of it's download page about possible problem areas. Get a stable base "performance" game going before you try adding graphics mods, which generally are going to impact your performance. -Dubious- Edited December 4, 2016 by dubiousintent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladez Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Don't give up yet, you just made the same rookie mistake a lot of people make when installing Nevada Skies. It happens because the mod installs three plugins and you're only supposed to use one of them. You'll find this described in step three of the installation instructions:3. Choose between the files listed below and only activate one of them, never together!- NevadaSkies - Basic Edition.esp -> This file has to be activated if you do not own DLC Content Packs- NevadaSkies - Ultimate DLC Edition.esp -> This file has to be activated, if you have all FNV DLCs.- NevadaSkies - TTW Edition.esp -> This file has to be activated, if you have Tale of Two Wastelands installed.Go to the plugins tab of Nexus Mod Manager and make sure that only one of these three files is active. If you use the Ultimate version without having all the DLC, or the TTW version without having Tale of Two Wastelands installed, your game will crash on startup because of missing dependencies. You should consider this a hard lesson on what can happen when you don't pay good enough attention to instructions. Instructions are really important, especially when you're a rookie. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
