| I've had New Vegas on my laptop since I bought it. I decided to install it to my PC and mod it but I've ran into a problem. I did the archive invalidation and now my textures are screwed up. The body I downloaded should be nude she has an underwear on and the body textures look terrible. I'm not really sure what to do. What is the correct way to get New Vegas ready for modding? I seem to have forgetten. - Spoiler:

| What did you use to activate archive invalidation? |

I used a mod off the nexus. That didn't do much of anything. I also went into the ini and added the archiveinvalidated!.bsa to the texture archive list. What should I be using? |

| I use NMM, all you have to do is disable archive invalidation then enable it after you download model/texture mods. |

| The Fallout Mod Manager also has that feature too. Whenever I ran into a texture problem, deactivating and then reactivating the disable archive invalidation function always fixed it. |

I think it means I have installed Skyrim mods a bit too much |

| I'm glad to have helped, And for the record, I've forgotten to do that a few times myself, always after re-installing fallout, and when I've spent a prolonged amount of time spent away from it. So don't worry too much over a mistake like that. |

| I've figured out that the automated Archiveinvalidationinvalidated mod on NV nexus no-longer works, just for future reference. You have to download the FO3 manual one and add it to your data folder, then go into your Fallout_Default and add it to the BSA loading list, then go to your Fallout_Prefs and do that as well.
I know you fixed your problem, just posting this for anyone else experiencing the modding pain of Archive Invalidation.
Cheers. |

| I'm getting these graphical/texture issues whenever I load to many mods (ESP's and ESM's) The limit for them is at around 150, give or take 20 depending on your system. If that isnt your probelm be sure to checkout Gopers tutorial videos, that helped me out a lot. _________________ I have no idea what I'm doing.

Normally you can, but the feature is temporarily disabled in the Fallout forums [I think] for the duration of the photo contest so that entries can't be changed. If you haven't already seen the entries and/or voted you might enjoy checking it out. |

| Thats wierd, but I`m not having a bad textures problems for some time now, actually a few years Just follow 3 simple rules: 1. Keep plugin count < 110 (make merged patches) 2. Dont install mods you dont actually need\crappy mods\alpha versions & etc. 3. Merge simple retexture\armor\weapons\companions mods to 1 and always keep merged mods as low as possible in load order. Follow this and you`ll rarely have problems. _________________ -- brainball - My Achievements:

| Between Wryebash and the script for Fnvedit there is little need to hit the esp limit anymore. Most of the mods that would cause you to go over are going to hit so many incompatibilities between mods that its extremely unlikely your game will be stable anyway. |

| I'd suggest Mod Organizer as well, since it is very useful to keep the game directory clean and you'll actually know what overwrites what with it's mod isolation.
But UI mods or mods that come with fomods should be done in FOMM. |
