Cannot interact with objects, interior textures borked.

[Khyron42]

So I have only recently begun modding New Vegas, and learned many fun things already. . .about dependencies, load orders, and the fact that at about ~130 mods, the game just crashes at main menu =)

 

But I've plowed through all of this, bit by bit. My Archives have been invalidated and uninvalidated and reinvalidated, I've saved inside, quit, and gone outside, turned thrice around and thrown digital salt over my 3rd-person shoulder. I've done the ancient ritual tributes to Interplay and burned the sacred Van Buren incense. And whaddaya know, everything seems like it's working pretty damn well!

 

But there are two problems:

 

The most drastic is that upon starting the game, for several minutes, I cannot open containers or go to my "Esc" menu. I can use my Pip-Boy, run, shoot, jump, even transition cells just fine. But I cannot open containers, speak to characters, activate non-door objects, or go to the menu. Containers with animations, like footlockers, will display their animation but the container UI doesn't pop up, and time doesn't stop - thus, the lid just bounces open and shut in a swift, frustrating motion. The "click" sound plays if I press "E" while not targeting an object, just as normal.

 

The second is that in all interior cells, and interior cells only, the environment is covered in a shifting mess of random textures, sometimes somewhat appropriate, but sometimes totally random - sometimes there are the dreaded "missing texture" markers on some of the non-usable clutter.

 

I am running a frak-ton of mods (or more accurately, a large number of mods and a frak-ton of compatibility patches in between them), I have NVSE working just fine, and the Large Address Aware launcher works perfectly. The actual features of the various mods all work perfectly well as far as I can tell - after a few minutes (as long as ten), once I can access the UI again.

 

I'm still troubleshooting, and I realize I'm pushing this old engine to its limit, but what I'm asking is if anyone here has encountered the same problems, and what mods were the cause of them. My load order is attached, but I'm mostly just seeing if these symptoms ring any obvious alarm bells for any of you folks.

 

Thanks in advance,

Khyron

For posterity's sake, I'll just leave this here:

 

It seems this problem results from having too many mods in general - my limit seems to be in the 85-8C range (forgive my failure to do the base-16 math on that)
