Mod Installation Assistance Needed

[Trickysocks]

I am trying to get started on modding Fallout:NV, but I can't seem to get even the most basic mod started. I started with a body replacer "Beware of Girl Type 3 Hi Rez" and it was listed to use "Archive Invalidation Invalidated" which I thought I follwed properly.

 

[Archive]

SInvalidationFile=

iRetainFilenameOffsetTable=1

iRetainFilenameStringTable=1

iRetainDirectoryStringTable=1

bCheckRuntimeCollisions=0

bInvalidateOlderFiles=1

bUseArchives=1

SArchiveList=Fallout - Voices1.bsa, Fallout - Sound.bsa, Fallout - Misc.bsa, ArchiveInvalidationInvalidated!.bsa, Fallout - Textures.bsa, Fallout - Textures2.bsa, Fallout - Meshes.bsa

 

This I have in my Fallout Prefs configuration set, as the Fallout configuration set won't allow me to save. I assume that's right. When I went to make the changes most of it was already done. I didn't have to add "ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated!.bsa" and "SInvalidationFile=" was already in place, didn't need to delete the text that came after it. Only change I actually made was "bLoadFaceGenHeadEGTFiles=1" changing the 0 to 1.

 

I didn't understand the adding "ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated" bsa to data folder. Only thing I see in the folder for the download of Archive Invalidation is that icon that's black and brown, the biohazard looking thing. I added that just in case. Yeah, I'm clueless.

 

In the end, I get a topless female char wearing black panties and some texture issues or mesh issues, she doesn't look right at all. This is my third attempt at trying to mod FONV, it's just confusing to me. It's probably something minor and simple to fix, but it's something very specific I'm betting. I really want to get this going, I need help, please. ^^

 

edit: Nevermind. dimon99's official Type 3 mod page explained everything step by step and I was successful in the end. Wow, what a process!
