Mellowtron11 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Hello all, I'm just getting into Fallout New Vegas modding. So back in November I got FNV on Steam, downloaded LOOT, Mod Organizer, and several mods to go with the game. The game would work but then would crash within 15-20 minutes of gameplay. I only got a couple hours into the game before I called it quits on FNV for a bit. After deciding to go back to FNV, I wiped my all of my older saves, deleted all of the mods I had downloaded, and then uninstalled and reinstalled the game last night. However, there still is a red overwrite title underneath the main game ESM's, saying that I have files in my overwrite. How can I clear out the overwrite file so I no longer get this error message? My computer's operating system is current Windows 10. Let me know if I'm missing anything, or if you need any additional info. Thanks for your help!

dubiousintent Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 It's not that simple, and best addressed in the STEP "Mod Organizer" forum. Please see post #4 in this thread. The mentioned wiki entry is here. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mentioned wiki entry is here. -Dubious-If I click on the overwrite bar in MO, I get this little menu with folders labeled uio and menus. Are these where some of the overwrite files are kept at? Should I delete the stuff in those two files then? Edited March 25, 2018 by Mellowtron11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 The "overwrite" folder contains files that "replace" other files in the "install order". In this instance it is showing your that there are files under the "uio\public", "menus\options", and "menus\main" sub-folders which overwrite previously installed versions of those files. That is by design. I interpret that message as more of a "notification" than a "warning"; that there are file in that folder not placed there by those in the current profile. If you are having "HUD-UI-Menu issues" issues, then those files might need to be replaced by the correct versions as described in that article. If you are trying to get back to a "clean slate" with no installed mods, then yes, I interpret that as you do need to delete the contents of that "Overwrite" folder. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I no longer have the overwrite warning in the top right corner of Mod organizer and the overwrite heading in the left hand column is greyed out. Thanks!
