Fallout 4 texture mods not functioning

[ScottSearle]

Hi all,

 

Have spent the last couple of days trying to solve this, have read dozens of different posts, articles, etc. Tried different tools. Nothing seems to work!

 

Basically it appears that non-textual mods:

 

• Another life: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/14253/?
• New Dialog: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/619
• Lowered Weapons: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/522
• Player Comments & head tracking: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/22166
• Realistic Death Physics: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4371?tab=files
• Wasteland Water Revival: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/19380?tab=files

 

All appear to work fine. However when I attempt to use mods that change things graphically:

 

• Improved Map with Visible Roads: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1215
• Fallout Texture Overhaul, Pipboy: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/449
• Vivid Fallout: All In One: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/25714

 

They simply don't load.

 

I'm not new to the use of mods, I've edited my INI files, I've tried using Vortex, when that didn't work I tried using NMM (After removing all instances of Vortex, then reinstalling Fallout 4).

 

I'm running game version 1.10.26.0.1, and F4SE 0.6.0 Release 7.

 

I've run out of ideas on how to handle this :(

The loading of texture files is pretty straightforward.

If they don't load then they are in the wrong folder.

 

To make things easy, use the Vivid Fallout, All In One.

 

1. Make sure that the BA2-file and the ESP-file resides in the DATA-folder.
   
2. Open NMM and place the ESP-file LAST (at the bottom) in Your load order.

If the texture from Vivid doesn't load then the files are placed in the wrong folder....

OR (I've seen this on my old rig), You gone above what the VRAM on Your GFX-card can handle, and the textures fail to load because of VRAM saturation.

 

If none of this is the case.

Duplicate/backup your game, re-download from Steam and try with ONLY the Vivid package.

 

Best of luck

I've been trying with the Vivid AIO, unfortunately no luck.

 

I also ensured it was at the very end of my load order, still nothing.

 

I'll clear it all out, redownload, and try with just Vivid.

Crappy situation!

 

I've been horsing around with textures, packaging my own BA2-files (based on a metric ton of loose file mods I like) and such.

They work, given that the are placed in the right folder and are placed in the load order where I want them.

 

You have something else borking your game if this fails to load.......

It can also be other software like aggressive/bad anti-virus/-malware giving false positives and blocking access to the files, but then you should get a warning from that software.
