Underground Home permamently bugs game

[Dman66]

DO NOT USE:

This mod corrupts the vanilla game files even after uninstalling it. It makes NPC's in the game like General Oliver & the Holograms & Dean Domino when you meet him in the theater in Dead Money DLC make that annoying SHHHH sound & hand gesture. Seems they all use the same body an the game gets confused.

 

Might as well add my review of it here as well.

PROS:

1. Awesome quest to unlock home, great puzzles.
2. Can move entrance anywhere you want.
3. Voiced computer system.
4. Junk Incinerator
5. Option to turn on or off the quest to get the home or the need to refuel the place.
6. Big display for meds & water.
7. Ammo & Chem boxes are nicely labelled an easily accessible.
8. The Magazine rack also holds books.

CONS:

1. Not all ammo is automatically sorted. This really bugs me.
2. Not all food & drink is automatically sorted. same stuff the Hidden Bunker doesn't see.
3. Drained energy cells/flamer fuel are not sorted into "shells" container
4. The Weapon wall sometimes only will display the "unique" version of a gun. Eg. "This Machine" but not a standard "Battle Rifle" or "That Gun" instead of a regular "5.56 pistol".
5. No "repair" feature on the crafting bench.
6. Mannequins in display room make annoying "shhhh" sound an even make the shhh gesture however it's rather annoying to hear "shhh" all the time when I enter the room. Some may think it's cute thou. I think they only do it when they aren't displaying anything.
7. No "Power Armor" locker, it's sorted in "Heavy" locker.
8. Not all junk items are sorted, most are left in your inventory. I assume the home intends you to use the "incinerator" at the entrance for such items. The incinerator feature turns junk into scrap metal an other stuff.
9.

BUGS:

1. Texture glitch on mod's unique weapons. No biggie thou, don't plan on using them.

This could be a simple fix. What game file controls NPC behavior, particularly the General Oliver & Dead Money Holograms. Since they look like they share the same "body".

 

If I just delete that file an then Steam will automatically reinstall that particular file from their server. Should fix it

I have the same issue but it don't think it's this mod, I'm not seeing anything in the BSA that would do it and on this playthrough I've not even had the thing installed. It's annoying as hell though, I get this starting Honest Hearts....

 

[Dman66]

When I started Honest hearts, none of them did that. It's only on Dead Money and the main game end with Oliver. My games a legit copy, sometimes these mods can mess things up, developers sometimes program in "troll code" for cheaters & stealer's . Wonder if modding messed things up an this is the case, game thinks it's a stolen copy?

 

Still it's bizarre an annoying. Hev ever notice the doors in FNV have the "free mason" symbol on them (eg, Gomorrah Casino). Also noticed this "shhh" thing was some weird gesture thing some of these "secret society" weirdos do.

 

Google Image Search "Illuminati Shh" or "Free Mason Shh"

There's no idle animations in any of the esps, so the mod isn't messing with the idle tree. All those mannequins are player teammates, so probably some other mod that makes companions do random idles or something.

Figured it out. It's the Axepriests Face Aches mod. However I don't know which part of the mod is making the "shhh" gesture. Even thou it lists them all, can't figure out which one it is.
