[Ragnazelle]

I ran into this too, it has something to do with the Cyberware addon, it expects to find a master that doesn't exist

Unless I install your mod list, (and/or play NV, which I don't) there's no way I can know what mod is missing a master.

If you're using MO2, then all you have to do is mouse over the plugin that is throwing the "missing master" error and it will tell you what "master" you are missing.

Once you determine which plugin is missing which master, the job is easy. If you already have the plugin master that is supposedly "missing," then you simple need to rearrange the "master" to load before the dependent mod. If you do not have the mod that is the "master," you must download it.

You have a large compatibility patch, but I don't see EVE or Weapons Mod Expansion loading before the patch. This will give you the missing master error.

so,should i install those patches to get it working? i didn't install EVE/WME so i don't see the point of downloading it

You have a patch to allow Weapons Mod Expanded, EVE, Project Nevada and Weapons Mod Expansion to work with FOOK. That means the masters for the patch are Weapons Mod Expanded, EVE, Project Nevada Weapons Mod Expansion and FOOK. If you are missing any of these (you are), you will get a missing master error and the game will not launch. No, you don't have to use Weapons Mod Expansion and EVE if you don't want to. But, you cannot use a patch that has them as a master file, your game will crash with the error message of having a missing master. Since you don't have the missing masters, you cannot use that patch. You will have to find another patch.

 

You also need to actually read the mod pages before downloading and installing any mods. You also need to actually read you load order. To avoid problems like this, don't download and install a bunch of mod files, install them at once and expect to have a stable game. You need to install each mod individually and check in the game to ensure it will run. Yes, it takes time, but it is the only way to make sure you have the mod installed correctly and the game will run.

 

Getting a stable game takes work and a lot of patience. If you are in a hurry to play the game, play it without mods.
