Oh, okay. I did not realize that. So, I need to figure out what I did to screw up my meshes in the last few days.

Also, the optimiser should have backed them up automatically, I believe that's the default setting. Look for an archive named according to date and time in the folder you ran it from. Edit: How many mods are you running? That could also be the issue.

After a bit of testing, I found that if I turn off both Hardcore Well Rested fix (stops owned beds from healing your health and limbs) AND Quick Hacking (reduces possible answers for the hacking minigame to one), my meshes load in properly. Any idea why either of these mods would bork up my meshes? I'm at a loss here. I do have an extensive load order. Here is my current active list. http://pastebin.com/EcBBzVSn

Most likely you have too many mods, disabling those probably just brings you below the ESP limit, which can be anywhere from 100 to 200+. Try combining some mods with FNVEdit, starting with the simplest ones that don't require masters other than Obsidian's. Random missing meshes and textures, and sometimes wonky location markers, are the surest sign of having too many mods. Gamebryo is a piece of poo poo.

Yeah, I know I've been needing to merge some of my mods into one .esp but I've never done it before and I'm lazy! Millenia and company are supposed to be coming out with a weapon pack that should drastically reduce my load order.

If two put you over the limit, just pick three little mods that change original FalloutNV.esm records, combine them and enjoy a working game.

I merged a few simple mods, removed one I wasn't really caring for, reactivated Quick Hacking & Well Rested Hardcore Fix. Everything loads fine so it seems you were correct. Apparently 160+ mods was beginning to stretch it, heh.

It's only dependent on number of ESMs/ESPs and the limit seems pretty arbitrary, it counts deactivated ones in the Data folder as well. I haven't been able to discern what controls it, it was higher on my old C2D on XP than my new i5 on Win7, for example.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:Alright, it's looking like a lot of those "weapon spread" game settings don't actually do anything. A few seem to, like the crouch multiplier (.4) and the iron sights multiplier (.65), but there's no tangible change on the others, even when given absurd values. Does anybody know how I would go about making weapons less accurate + more reliant on relevant skill points? It's possible to modify each weapon's spread, individually, but that's sort of a cumbersome solution that doesn't really respond to skill points. Answering my own question since nobody seemed to know, but somebody might be interested in doing something similar: I've found this really useful summary of New Vegas' weapon wobble/spread calculations that made my modifications really easy. It would appear that, even though weapon skill technically factors into the accuracy of a weapon, you can already max out your potential accuracy by meeting the strength requirement, not having broken arms, crouching, and aiming. If you're doing all of those things, it doesn't matter if you have 5 skill points in a weapon or 100--you'll have the same accuracy in both instances. It seems like I've recaptured a lot of the game's "RPG feel" by tweaking the settings (detailed in the previous link) so that stance, limb damage, SPECIAL points, and weapon skill all played a more dramatic role in accuracy. Previously, in this particular area, my character's build was largely irrelevant--5-Guns Frail Egghead, 100-Guns Brawny Cowboy, etc--because I could just play the game like an ordinary FPS and drill targets from ranges an egghead should have never been able to touch. I realize a lot of people won't like bringing back some of that goofy spread that was present in Fallout 3, and they'll be better off playing the game with the choices Obsidian made, but it honestly feels like my character's actions are actually constrained by their SPECIAL/Skill values now. When I put a lot of points into a weapon skill, they actually become better at hitting things, both in and out of VATS.

I'm looking for a mod I had installed several months and one PC ago. It was a Radio New Vegas extender that was made up of the songs from which most of the missions took their names. So it had GI Blues, Aba Daba Honeymoon, stuff like that. I can't find it on the Nexus and I don't remember the name. Does anyone else know the mod I mean?

I have a feeling it was one of those mods that was linked through the thread but not put into the OP now that you mention it, assuming you've already looked through the listed radio stations in the OP and not found it.

Yeah, that was the "Secret Stash" mod. If I remember correctly, I thought it was kicked off of the Nexus because the Nexus is full of idiots and they don't understand copyright laws. EDIT: I've been searching for it and I didn't realize how old the mod was. Here's a (dead) link for the mod that was from late 2011, and it isn't even the original link or file--it's a re-host pulled off of an install. I haven't found the original author, though.

I can't seem to get the NMC large textures to work. I've done the archive invalidation thing and it still just shows default textures. I was overwriting NMC medium textures. Which also didn't seem to work anymore despite working last time I played.

Thanks for that, soon be time for a reinstall. Just incidentally, since I can't find the general thread, how the hell do you deal with the ghost people in Dead Money? Last time I played it I ended up running out of ammo and having to sprint through the levels.

If you don't want to deal with that poo poo just talk to Dog after he eats a ghost person. The conversation will give you a perk that will kill them permanently.

He's cheating. Its the same method we always had to use before. Even he admitted to me that it will only work on a couple guns else clipping problems, which is why we never bothered. Still I'll probably use them anyway despite clipping issues for an M1903 that trent1541 is doing up.

How is it so hard for people to deal with Ghost people. Do you guys build characters that hate critical hits or something? Do you not aim for limbs? Do you not get holotapes for bullets?

Last time I played it I ended up running out of ammo and having to sprint through the levels. Just rush in and punch the fuckers with the Bear Fist.  Or do what I did, which was sneaking around, lining up headshots with the Police Pistol, and rushing in after that to punch off one of their limbs. Punching dudes in general's a surprisingly good strategy in New Vegas, letting you mess a lot of 'em up in a short amount of time. I actually abandoned my unarmed-centric playthrough because the game became too easy and boring

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I did a complete reinstall of NV. I redownloaded NMC large textures. I took the rars to the NV directory, extracted and the texture folders and such are in the right place. I run FOMM and turn off and back on Archive Invalidation. Still no new textures when I Load up NV. The game looks like poo poo still. I have no idea why I'm having problems. I've been modding Bethesda games since Morrowind.

Check your in game settings. If they don't have textures set to ultra or whatever new textures won't be used. Did you do the patch bit as well?

Yes, it's on Ultra and the patch is installed. I tried installing them both as FOMods and it says they installed correctly but still no new textures. NVSE is installed correctly as far as I can tell, and I'm using the 4gb exe. I haven't downloaded any other mods with textures yet either.
