New Vegas texture mods

[Blueyescorsair]

When making a new character, the machine to pick perks is all red and unusable. I downloaded a save to get outside and there are red exclamations everywhere. With and without any texture mods installed, I'm getting these visuals launching through default app and mod manager

What you are seeing are the error symbols for missing meshes.

I suggest you give the NexusMods Wiki a read. https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Fallout_New_Vegas Start with "Installing games on Windows Vista +".

 

If you can't find a solution, then provide all the information noted in the article "How to ask for help"

As stated, you are missing "art asset" files. For the vanilla game (as in Doc's house), those are in the Fallout EXE, ESM, and BSA files.

 

Please see the 'Solutions to Mesh (Red "!" icon) or Texture (solid color) problems' section of the wiki "Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting" article.

 

I recommend anyone read the entire "FNV General Mod Use Advice" article to understand the differences between this game and others you may have experience with; especially if this is your first attempt to play a modded FNV or it's been more than a year since you last set it up. It is designed for someone who has never played a modded PC game before, so it tries to avoid making any assumptions, is kept "up-to-date", and covers years of "lessons learned" by a retired Technical Support expert. It is NOT a list of various mods to install that happen to work on the author's machine; only "the essentials". It addresses fundamentals underlying how to get the basic game and mods to work together. At least 90% of everything I post in the "Technical Support" sub-forum is already in that article. Once you can play a test game to at least Primm, only then should you try adding other mods from some other "guide".
