LincolnS Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I am unable to download NMC successfully either through NMM or manually. It fails to install and usually only gets to about three percent unpacked before throwing an error. I have tried downloading all versions, reinstalling my game, etc. I even went premium to see if that would help. Any tips or help would be appreciated.

dubiousintent Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Not really a download issue. Most likely problem is that you do not have enough free disk space remaining on the drive where you downloaded them to unpack them there. Each are roughly 2.5GB when unpacked, in addition to roughly 1.1GB for each archive file itself. So you would need roughly 11GB of free space on that drive before downloading. (You shouldn't let a drive get below 10% of it's capacity in free space or you won't be able to "defrag" or manage it.) Open Windows Explorer, find the drive where you downloaded the NMC files, right-click on the drive letter and select "Properties". That will show you how much of the disk is "used" and "free". -Dubious- Edited August 26, 2017 by dubiousintent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the error I am getting for both NMC and Ojo Bueno. The same occurs when I try to extract manually with 7zip...bunch of corrupted files. Any ideas? Error: NMCs_Texture_Pack_For_New_Vegas - NMCs Textures NV LARGE Pack Part 1 of 3 FOR NMM // A problem occurred during install: Could not extract files! Message: File is corrupted. Data error has occured.The mod was not installed. // Install // Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 If 7Zip is reporting the files as corrupted, then they probably are. You can try using the "test" command in 7Zip to confirm. But if they are corrupted, then you really have no choice but to download again. Given you are having connection problems, you should probably test each download again before attempting to install. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
