Help me, texture mods not showing at all.

[Lightleggy]

The same thing had happened to fallout 3...well I have had FO3 for quite some time already (like about 8 months) but I didnt started modding like 3 days ago, I just downloaded a few retextures and stuff like that, well the other mods showed up well with no problem, but the retexture mods were not showing, it stlll had vanilla textures.

so I looked into it a bit and some sites said that I had to change some things from some files, like a line saying validateolderbin from 0 to 1 or something like that, well I did, for all the 3 files that I had to mod, but still no result. so I just gave up FO3 modding there.

 

I bought NV yesterday from the steam sale, and I started modding, downloading retextures (I download and install ALL mods with the NMM) however, the same crap happens, texture mods wont show up, it still has the vanilla textures...

with FO3 I tried using some file called invalidated invalidator or something like that...I activate it and did everything properly but it didnt changed anything, I havent tried with NV tho but I dont think it will do anything.

 

so can anyone help me? what am I doing wrong? I dont want to play it without mods because quite frankly it looks terrible.

my PC specs:

 

AMD phenom II x4 965 be @ 3.4 ghz

XFX radeon 6850 1gb

4gb RAM DDR3

windows 7 x64

 

 

and yes I did made sure that the mods installed correctly

Download this : FOMM Use FOMM to launch your game and manage your mods. Pretty essential if you want to mod succesfully. Also:

Click the Tools tab then toggle Archive Invalidation, this lets Fallout use the textures you installed. Google is your friend in learning how to use these tools.

thanks, but I downloaded FOMM earlier, its not working for anyone, literally, theres a bug in the file uploaded, when you try to open FOMM it just gives a crash message and never opens, and its happening to everyone judging by the comment section.

Try this tip from Kunfury : If you are getting the crash dump error do this and it "Should" work

 

Go To (C:Games\FalloutNV\Install Info)

Delete the file labeled "Install Log"

Launch FOMM

 

It should say its re installing something. Just let it because its re installing the "Install Log" file. and it should work.

 

Also FOMM needs to be run as Admin, at least for me, in win7 64

OK I got FOMM to work and I installed the mods with it and all that.

nope, texture mods still dont show, animation mods and all those do show, but the game still uses vanilla textures.
