All weapons added via mod have blue tiger skin

[Lurky89]

Hey all,

 

I've just recently got into downloading mods, mostly for New Vegas, but FO3 has always been my favorite of the two, so I wanted to add some neat weaponry into the game, the only problem is, no matter what weapon or weapons pack I load up, the gun is in an ugly blue tiger camouflage. In addition, some times the weapons just turn into a sort of cream color (Not exactly intimidating) I've had no problems New Vegas, but FO3 is giving me trouble.

 

I purchased both the games through steam, have the Nexus Mod Manager and the FOMM, I've uninstalled and re-installed the game and the mods more times than I can count, but I keep getting the same ugly blue or sissy cream skinned guns. I've also tried just using one mod at a time, but I still get the same ugly results.

 

When I'm not using one mod at a time, these are the combos I like to use:

http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/13980

http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/3662

http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/11781

http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/15338

 

or

 

http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/18481

http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/3662

http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/11781

http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/17762

http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/15338

 

and in earlier tries I was using this mod aswell: http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/17488

 

So am I just crazy or is there a simple solution to this? Even after I uninstal and re-install my old save files will be there, so I've deleted those and repeated the instal process, but I just keep getting these ugly guns. The game's standard model guns appear fine, it's just the mods that are acting up.

 

Like I said I don't know much about mods so maybe if I saw an original file with all the weapon skins and compare it to my own I'd be able to eliminate the problem?

 

I am at a loss, can anyone in the community help me?

Did you activate ArchiveInvalidation?

And don't install FO3 mods with NMM, most mods have a different folder structure inside the archive so NMM is unable to install them correctly.

ArchiveInstallation is activated on NV and works fine. I'm re-installing FO3 as I type so I can't say if by default it's engaged or not. Is it something I want activated? And thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to download my mods and put them in the data folder myself from now on.

 

Thanks for your help so far!

 

EDIT: It was the ArchiveInvalidation, thank you so much!
