I started using Project Reality and am crashing less. It looks really washed out but I'm getting used to it and it's growing on me.

I don't know if this is a thing that happened since I installed it mid-game, but every destination on my map was available for fast travel after installing this. Probably happened since it's a mid-game installation. It's cool now that I can fast travel anywhere, though and crash doing it.

That's Project Reality doing that. I don't know how I avoided it, but a lot of users are reporting the same problem. The author says he fixed the issue, but if you downloaded the most recent edition (I think it was released yesterday) then I don't know what to tell you.

EDIT: Apparently Cheshire found the problem--

I've found the map marker issue; in the script F3NVImageSpace, there is a line "ShowAllMapMarkers 1". I'm assuming this was probably something you used for testing and forgot to comment out.

I'm still testing out whether or not that actually fixes the issue; just changing the script in FNVEdit did NOT, but I figured it might be something I'd have to fix in the GECK since it needs to compile the script.

*edit* commenting it out in the GECK does seem to fix it. If you aren't comfortable using the GECK (or just don't want to go through the hassle of downloading and setting it up), I'd recommend just not using the mod for now and waiting for a fix. If you want the map markers to go back to the way they were, you'll need to load a save you made before you started using the mod.

Someone commented on the file with the probable cause of this bug - the mod author uploaded a fixed version of the file yesterday, and today took a file down - probably meaning to take down the old broken one, but took down the fix by accident.

Out of curiosity, what build are you basing your optional TA esp on? Because 2.5's content completely now, though there are a couple guns up for the axing. I don't know if you want to work closer with us to find out which ones are on the bubble and just leave them out or not.

Alright, I installed WMX and everything is working fine. But I have two texture issues that I cannot fix no matter what I do. Both the Police Pistol and the Trail Carbine (yes, even after I installed the hotfix) have broken textures. Would anyone mind taking a screenshot of correct file name/address of working textures for these weapons in WMX?
This is the file path I've got for the police pistol:
Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas\Data\textures\WeaponModsExpanded\deadmoney\1handpistol\policepistol

And for the trail carbine:
Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas\Data\textures\WeaponModsExpanded\2handrifle\trailcarbine

I had the same broken textures problem a while ago, but I can't remember exactly how I fixed it. I think it had something to do with the order of the mods that I activated them in with the package manager, with the Arenovalis retextures being last. I should also probably note that I'm not using that hotfix you mentioned (didn't even know about it till now), just WMX 1.9 and the DLC .esps.

Honestly I haven't even started on the armory addition yet. I wanted to get the core + DLC supported first then I was going to try to redo the weapon walls from the ground up so that I can do the armory without possibly sending lower end performance to the dogs.

My concern is that the the weapon walls as they're done right now require >=2 hooks that are individual items. So for each weapon you've got at least 3 items plus the walls and anything else in the room. Every light shining on an object effectively doubles the resources it requires to render each object.

I'm hoping to make some slanted shelves that will serve as a better looking and performing weapon display so that I could do the armory without making low end systems take forever to load. And I don't want to place all those goddamn hooks ;)

Edit: Just realized I never answered your question. I was planning on getting in touch with you when I started working on the armory to see where you were going with it.

Okay, I really want to get back into this game and actually finish the story instead of dicking around. The problem is every time I start to think about loading up mods I just get overwhelmed with the amount of choices.

Can anyone recommend sort of a core group of mods that will get the game up to speed? I'm particularly interested in if there's an accepted combat overhaul. I generally don't like these things because they seem to focus on realism or difficulty too much.

I don't think this is what is causing a ton of crashes but you have both OWB Valence Extra.esp and OWB Valence Mask.esp in that load order and only one is necessary. I use the extra one since it lets you use helmets and masks plus shows your hair.

Project Nevada makes the combat significantly better and improves the game drastically. Definitely get that.

Besides PN, I'd suggest Arenovalis's Weapon Retexture pack, one of the weather mods(Nevada Skies is my personal favorite, but there have been several people recently who really like Project Realism). That's pretty much all that I can think of that I'd consider to be core mods.

Probably. Most people seemed to stop using it once they realized how troublesome it was. Counterfeitsaint, you might want to deactivate Highways and Byways and see if your CTD frequency drops. If it doesn't, deactivate Western Skies and see if that does the trick. Weather mods are often the culprit.

My main gripe with Genox's armor is that there's no female mesh, because it'd fit PERFECTLY with one of my gal characters. My rough-and-tumble John Wayne dude wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole, though :colbert: ARMOR'S FER PUSSEHS. I did a run with him using only cowboy perk-affected weapons and the Duster and it was pretty kickass.

The FNV4GB .exe is automatically compatible with NVSE, right? You only need to direct FOMM to use it as per the OP, and then click Launch: Fallout NV on the right side of the application? (Or do you always need to select File / Launch Game / Launch NVSE?)

Also, does it disable achievements?

The fact that it doesn't have a female specific mesh is why I prefer it for my female character. It's a post apocalyptic wasteland where food isn't exactly that plentiful - while I use type 3 (non-nude), I use it only because it's an actually better mesh and texture but I want my armors to have a purpose in most cases. If it does have a female specific armor, I don't want it to be a curve hugging voluptuous body suit.

Exception to this rule is using the Starcraft Ghost armor mod. Best loving mod ever for stealth based characters, and it isn't even a godmode overpowered buggy piece of poo poo. The optional headgear that gives you +25 stealth field on sneak might be *slightly* op at lower levels though.

Also, Type3 is the best body type. The only complaint I have about it is that the base "underwear" looks off. Really off.

Making a mod into an ESM doesn't magically stop crashes and prevent conflicts. If anything, it makes managing conflicts worse because you can't put them after ESPs that might be affecting the same thing but logically should be first.

Won't that basically give you the male body armour with a female head attached to it, though? It's one thing not to have form-fitting spandex armour, but metal or even leather armour wouldn't really fit given the difference in the base meshes' frames.

But until that script plays, if you try walking pass the guards, even with a stealth boy, everyone turns hostile.

Okay the game fixed itself once I got to a part of the shop where they lost notice of my presence, and they proceeded to shoot that poor guy.

Ok, I got a major problem. I got a whole lot of mods working together perfectly, no crashes or slowdown or anything, and played for a few days. Then today I bought Dead Money through the Steam store, and after it downloaded and installed, my game crashes on startup after the first slide.

I used FOMM to move Dead Money to second in my load order, then I ran FNV Edit. It seemed to find some conflicts with Dead Money. Here's my load order:

FalloutNV.esm
Dead Money.esm

Do I have to install Dead Money before doing all the modding? Cause that would suck!

Luckily I kept a backup from before I tried to install Dead Money, so at least I still have the stable modded game. But yeah, it would be nice to play Dead Money too.

Double check that you have the correct DLC versions of your mods. I know alot of mods have different flavors based on what DLC you've bought, and you may be getting a conflict using a vanilla mod while you have the DLC installed.

Maybe you're right - I think Project Nevada and The Armory might have installation options relating to the DLC. To reinstall, do I just have up deavtivate the FOMOD and then reactivate it? Or is it a lot more complicated?

Reinstalling a FOMOD is as easy as deactivating it and reactivating it.

Couple of things:

Only run Nevada Skies or Nevada Skies - URWLified. Don't run both at the same time. Also, you might want to create a merged patch for that load order, and uncheck PurgeCellBuffers.esp if the CTDs don't stop.

Yes, it's NVSE compatible.
However, make sure you use Launch: Custom Fallout:NV instead of NVSE.

It does not disable achievements.

I could use some help making a small mod since I took a look through the scripts and it seems beyond me.

Considering the sheer amount of Mentats everywhere in OWB, I wanted to make it so the Stealth Suit auto-injects Mentats instead of Med-X. Coupled with a visual chems mod it would be fun for my Hunter S. Thompson run-through.
Any ideas?
