New standing idles will not take

[mechatech]

I downloaded this mod http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/18833/ Better Posture. When I installed it, it worked. I then went back to the vanilla idle, then back to the new idle, then back to vanilla restarting the game each time to load the idle in question. That was yesterday. Today I try the new idle again after some tweaking and the game uses the vanilla idle. I tried the original idle I downloaded and still the vanilla idle. I use Archive invalidated and other mods do work. My PC is shut down each evening. I had the problem before in a previous install. The new idle works for one day only and never again no matter what I do. One other thing is that my game crashes each time I exit via the menu or console "qqq". Can anyone shed some light on this.

Crash on exit is a common problem with some mods. If you use the Fallout Stutter Remover, navigate to Fallout 3\Data\FOSE\Plugins\sr_Fallout_Stutter_Remover.ini and open it.

Under "Master = {" look for the line "bFastExit =0" and change the "0" to "1", exit and save.

Tried that setting just now. Still crashes on exit.

[M48A5]

It might be a good idea to post your equipment specs, FO3 installation path and load order. If the fast exit does not fix the crash on exit, you have another conflict or problem.

Now I've got another problem this time with Oblivion posted here I don't know if the two are related.

 

When I start a new game, the new idle works. It's as if there is something in the save data that is stopping it.

You seem to be missing the Project Beauty.esm. I'm suprised your game will even run without this master. Also, you have too many mods to be running without a merged patch.

[mechatech]

Those two Project Beauty plugins only need Hairday to run. I can't make a merged patch because I simply can never get wrye bash to work for me. Now here's the punch line. I just started the game and the new idle was used. :blink: :wallbash: :wacko: I'll never figure this out.

[M48A5]

For a merged patch, use FO3Edit http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/637 and the training manual http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/8629

[mechatech]

My Oblivion is borked so it's gone.

 

The two Project Beauty esps I think used the Project Beauty esm originally. I tweaked them to use Hairday because they each had one character that I wanted to customize and I liked what Hairday did.

 

I'm trying the merged patch now.

I might be missing something here, but I've never before seen a "Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch.esp". Are you sure you're using the latest version of this mod? If I am correct you should have a "Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch" master file (.esm) in your load order instead.

It may also be wise to put the DLC patches right below your master files instead.

 

You also seem to be missing a compatibility patch for MMM and Project Beauty. (a merged patch will not resolve the conflicts between those 2)

 

When I start a new game, the new idle works. It's as if there is something in the save data that is stopping it.

Blow up your own player character or let it be killed somehow and allow the game to reload, then check to see if that resolves it.
