Ok, so I've just gotten back into Fallout New Vegas. I was updating my mods and deleting the old ones, then I started installing everything was fine. Then I removed NVR2 for NVR3 and did the whole installation thing like I usually do, tons of missing meshes kept appearing on some heads not all. I was confused at first so I attempted to trouble shoot on my end, nothing. So I went to the page began doing the installation tutorial provided by Dracomies and I still had problems... Hoping to find the solution in the comments I noticed it was a problem with Drumber not updating FCO (or something of the sort) There has been numerous people getting it to work but everything I've done has failed. Someone said that FNV 2(.9?) would fix it but Dracomies has only the latest one up there. So as of right now, I'm completely clueless as to what to do. Maybe I didn't install something correctly or something I don't know. If anyone knows a solution please leave a comment, this is becoming very frustrating.

Thank you.

Have you sorted out your load order with loot? and did you reactivate Archive Invalidation? Sounds likes some of the textures where misplaced (not on your part) but the game sending them to places they don't belong. Also after removing NVR2 did you go in game and save before installing NVR3?

I ensured my load order was correct. Yes, I followed the instructions with Archive Invalidation. I fixed the misplaced textures which was something in Meshes/Character and I actually started a new game.

Hmmm not to sound dumb but have you completely uninstalled NVR3 and then booted up the game to see if things went back to normal? I had similar problems with NVR3 regarding low res bodies but the heads were high res.

No, I actually have not. I will try that right after this post.

Ok so, I disabled it and started my game. The FCO textures are still on the people but things modified by NVR such as the dead courier in Primm and Boxcar in Nipton are all missing meshes on the head...

Hmm Start up a new game and see if it's still a problem, if so then go into your directory and get rid of EVERY related files to FCO, NVR3. Also remove the related esp's that came with FCO and NVR3. Also you might want to delete your post and edit your previous one. Double posting and what not.

So I removed everything, started it up, saved, closed installed. It worked! However I'm getting 1 raider face with missing meshes and 1 caucasian face missing textures...not too sure how to resolve that.

Hmmm do you have Breeze or Robert's body mods on? if so there's a raider tattoo bug thing that happens and completely fucks up raiders proper textures.

No, I use the vanilla body. I'll try to look further into this, if you have any more suggests leading to the cause of this problem just let me know.

Just trying to help you the best i can. Considering no one else did lol but yeah just holler if you run into any other problems.

Mixing Fallout Redesigned and FCO is most definitely a sure headache, I didn't have any missing meshes but lotsa missing textures, what I've done was applying all of the Redesigned body textures to fit Breeze's textures (the author used vanilla textures to work on the raiders and others, it's really easy to put them into breeze's textures though, didn't take a minute). My order of installations was that, install Redesigned first, then the FCO (all with NMM) and then manually supervising what incompatibility issues could possibly happen.
About your missing meshes, open FCO with GECK and check the races to see what happened to the mesh paths, maybe something is missing.
Hope you find your way bc FCO is a must!!

The problem now is that FCO and NVR3 aren't technically compatible, but NVR3 relies on many assets from FCO. I've kind of been Dracomies' 'ideas man' of late for future editions of NVR3. I know that many of people have had trouble getting the two to play nicely together, but I haven't had the problem at all. Using Mod Organizer has allowed me to troubleshoot any problems because I'm able to see what's overwriting what. Are you using the latest version of each mod?

I'm personally using FCO Version 2.3.2 and then using the 'FCO - No NPC Edits' an optional FCOMaster.esm to replace to original. This is because I only want NVR3 to make character changes and not FCO - and that is usually where people find problems because the NPC edits conflict and produce unwanted results.

So I install FCO first, then I install:
New Vegas Redesigned Version 2.9
Then NVR3's UPDATE TO VERSION 3.0 (Critical fixes)
and then 3.1 esps from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxvuUMnIOcBOeU9fVUhxQ3FuSzg/view
