After modding, game does not load old save

[direwolfrabbit]

As the title says, I can't load my old save game after downloading mods. Starting a new game works fine; loads up, game starts, runs well, no problems. But if I try to load my old save it just sits at the load screen (with the still images and spinning roulette wheel) forever. The stills change and the wheel spins but the game never actually starts. Is this just an issue with the save not having the mod data associated with it?

It is a known bug with saves. Just load some save that works or start a new game and then load that one which was not working. It will load just fine.

Ok, so. It turns out, derpy me didnt even have the mods installed; just DOWNLOADED. Not sure what was causing the save issue. Probably a problem with my asystem (I'm running vista, so... yeah.)

 

Now I have the mods all installed (confirmed with the mod manager and te launcher's data screen) and the game wont even start. I open the mod manager, click launch NV and the launcher appears. I click play and the first legal screen shows up for an insant before the game crashes; screen goes white, the "Program has encountered an error, windows is trying to fix" message appears and the FalloutNV has stopped working" box appoears.

 

I'm pretty sure its a PEBCAK error. Heres what I did to install, maybe I did something wrong.

 

1. backed up my Data folders by making a new folder entitled "backup Data files" and copy-pasting the Data folder into it

2. copy-pasted the mod information from C:\Games\Nexus Mod Manager\FalloutNV\Mods to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas\Data

3. used WinRAR to extract all the compressed files, clicking "yes to all" when prompted to overwrite (is this where I went wrong?)

 

I'm about to go through and disable each mod one by one, see if one of them is causing problems.

Fixed. Ambient Temperatures URWLified seemed to be causing the problem.
