Same problem with western skies here, I've seen this pop up more than once. It appears to be a problem with the mod itself since nobody here seems to have come up with a solution.

I just decided to stop using it and use Project Reality instead, which has it's own problems right now, but the next update may fix them.

Since it only seems to affect the Western sky texture, disabling it is an ok cludge until a proper solution is found.

Do weapons equipped by NPCs not display mods? I gave Cass the riot shotgun with an extended drum before we went and kicked in the Van Graff's door, but she just had the regular drum model in her hands.

I also forgot I changed my screenshot button in Fraps so god drat I lost so many great shots, like one of her freaking out as I cleared out the entire barracks at Crimson Caravan, including a single eyeball flying past her while she was all D:

God dammit.

Oh well, guess I get to splatter brains all over some more :q:

I recall reading somewhere that companions can't use modded weapons period - when you give them one, they'll actually be using the standard version; it doesn't delete the mods from the weapon, it just ignores them while the NPC has it.

Unrelated: Is there a mod that allows SPECIAL/skills to exceed the cap with buffs? I don't want to be able to increase my stats/skills above 10/100 naturally, but I'd like to receive some benefit from buff items when I've already capped them out. It seems kind of odd that most stealth based equipment has become useless for my stealth based character (see also: guns and lockpick). I found this mod, but that only seems to remove the cap from SPECIAL, not skills as well.

Probably not what you're looking for but I use Portable Tent. It's a bit OP in that it basically negates weight as a thing that matters (you can put this tent pretty much anywhere and store a billion pounds of poo poo in it and it will weight 150 when you put it back on) but things like weight and not having a place to sleep annoy me. Other than that, Lucky 38 Expanded was always a good one.

This is interesting to me in that it makes weight not a real thing without just giving you a billion carry weight, which for me always results in an inventory that becomes so overstuffed that it's impossible to navigate.

Ok, this is weird. Whenever I use the 4GB execuatble, the game will randomly speed up sometimes. The NPC talking animations finish about 2 seconds before the audio does, and my character is able to run around much faster than he should be able to. This only happens when I use the 4GB exe, and everything seems normal with the vanilla launcher. Is this a known bug or something?

Yeah that's why I love it. When I think about using a particular weapon I lay down the tent, go to the Weapons locker and get it out to add to my most used weapons that I keep on me all the time. That way I can deal with it without scrolling through a billion weapons I don't feel like getting rid of but never use.

Also the backpack helps with my ~immersion~ because pulling a minigun out of your pocket never made any sense to me. Hiding a vault full of poo poo in a backpack big enough for a shotgun and a couple boxes of ammo doesn't make any sense either but it definitely makes my character seem more like somebody who is exploring a rugged dangerous wasteland and not going out for a stroll around the block. It's optional I think so if you don't feel the same way you don't need to use it. But all around its one of the best mods imo in a playability sense.

It does sound handy though. I might install it at a later point but, I was thinking of a place where I can spend 3 hours lining poo poo up because I can't get a coffee mug to stand upright.

It's due to where wmx is in your load order I would imagine. It should be closer to the end. You need to install and run BOSS, because all of those mods are on BOSS auto sort list (or most of them).

As for my own modding problems; I've pretty much fixed them by running the newest BOSS. It left me with 16 some unidentified mods. I placed those manually after studying some other people's load orders, looking at a rough guide of Fallout 3 load orders by some person named Arwen, and doing things by trial and error. I quicktraveled a few times and loaded my game about 5 or 6 times last night and nothing crashed. So it may be fixed, or I may need to tweak some more things.

That auto sorter was even pretty screwed up back in original Fallout 3 modding if I remember correctly (maybe it's better now though, I don't know personally as I kinda forgot about it). I just always sort manually, it's pretty easy. I went something like ...

1) vanilla FO3:NV + DLC
2) overhaul mods such as project nevada
3) darnedUI
4) everything else except the below
5) weapon mods
6) weather mod
7) merged patch

There might be something wrong in this, but I just followed my experience from original Fallout 3 modding and have had no crashes. I did a lot of profile optimization based on this post (although I ignored the multi-thread audio as that caused me exit-crashes): http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3376713&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=176#post394310333

UHNV is buggy, crash prone, bloated, and really the only thing it has going for it are the weapon walls. Other mods even do that better. I don't have a link handy, (on my tablet) but try the Survivalist's Bunker. It's better in nearly every way.

I haven't noticed too many crashes using it, but yeah, UHNV isn't great. It's also probably not going to get updated for OWB and Lonesome Road because the modder who makes it no longer has a computer that can run the game.

Actually it doesn't crash that much that I've noticed and the scripting that it uses is really well done(albeit inefficient at a few places. The VR training scripting is especially :psyduck:). It's just that it goes so overboard in so many places that that it becomes ridiculous and annoying. There is no need for a housing mod to have 5+ scripts running all the time to deal with doors being opened or closed. Not to mention that it makes no effort to explain its presence in or blend in with the world itself. The base mod itself was really good, its just the modder got overzealous with adding weird and mundane poo poo that no one wanted instead of adding stuff the mod could have actually benefited from.

I just started using it and some of the features are pretty annoying, I especially dislike the fact that it's split up among 4 different locations. I want my player home to have everything (crafting/reloading/bed/storage/etc.) within about 30 feet and no loading screens. If the consensus is that it's bloated and unwieldy it should get bumped from the OP, or at least have an alternate suggestion posted with it.
