pattamus Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 The other day I decided to go "browsing" for some new mods for skyrim since it had been awhile. I found about 5 new cool mods, and installed them using Nexus Mod Manager. When I tried to start a game, it would let me load a save, but then immediately crash. I started disabling the mods one by one to see which one was causing the problems, as it was working fine before. After disabling and uninstalling ALL of the new ones, I even started to get rid of mods that had worked before. I finally downloaded BOSS, and it gave me a warning. Here's what it said: RealisticWaterTextures.esp Warning: DELETE. Use WATER.esp instead Now, I tried to find the corresponding mod, but could not. I even went as far as to look up the mod, reinstall it, then disable and delete it. The .esp was still there. I have disabled many other mods just out of sheer frustration, and I still can't get past the loading screen. I am starting to think that downloading BOSS was a bad idea for some reason. I can't find the esp file it wants me to delete, I did delete it from the mod list under the BOSS directory, but I couldn't find the file anywhere else. There is a master list under the BOSS directory, but i'm afraid to delete it there. It says something like "IF RealisticWaterTextures.esp, warn, switch to WATER.esp" I don't know much about coding, but I know that could screw things up worse if it is not the right thing to do. So I come to you more experienced modders for help. How can I get rid of that pesky .esp file? I really want to keep my mods and saved games, it has taken quite awhile to accumulate them. I would list my mod order, but I'm not sure how to do that. All I can say is that I only got one warning, and 8 unrecognized mods, which have all worked in the past. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I would love to continue playing! If you guys/gals have any specific questions for me, i'd be glad to answer them for you. I'd say I have about 50 mods or so, nothing to obscure. Mostly off the top mods list . Thanks in advance, Pattamus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattamus Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Please, anyone? I am willing to provide whatever information required.. Is it possible that BOSS screwed my game up? I disabled all of the new mods and it was working fine before. I realize a lot of you guys are way more experienced than me, I just need to figure out whats going on. I'm trying not to be inpatient, but I know the deeper my thread gets buried the less chancee of being helped. I realize that I'm not owed anything, but I know other modders enioy the game as much as I do and understand how much time goes into modding. I am not completely new; I have modded both fallout 3 and FNV. This new BOSS system works differently, and me not being able to delete an .esp file is new to me. In the past, I could simply delete the file from the data folder. Since I'm a new NMM user, things are different for me as well as the new BOSS standalone program. BTW, I have deleted RealisticWaterTextures.esp from the Data folder. It is now giving zero warnings, but is still crashing at the loading screen. I could really use some help here, this is driving me nuts. Pattamus Edited July 15, 2012 by pattamus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
