Thanks for the reply, Kelmych! Your guide was a tremendous help throughout this process! Definitely the most complete modding guide I've seen for FO3. While I based my mods off of the GamerPoets My Way series (which I believe was based of Clear and Present Danger), I don't believe I use mods not mentioned in the guide. I wanted a fairly vanilla experience, without any major overhauls. So my biggest difference is not installing large project mods like WMK and FWE. I'm thinking about going through the bash tags and patch process, as well as cleaning ITM records. But the game is running fine as is and I find conflicting information on the benefits. So I'm reluctant to change anything when nothing is broken right now.

Thanks, Greg! I see now that the line is actually there in the posted .ini tweaks. I guess I relied on the GamerPoets guide for tweaking since it does a better job of explaining the effects of each line. But I missed that one tweak I needed to load the correct skin and face textures since I didn't review the guide's .ini tweaks.

And, fixed. I had to add a setting to the .ini file. I saw this setting when searching for fixes but only for New Vegas, and was hesitant to put it in the Fallout 3 .ini since I didn't know which section it belonged to. But for those having problem with skin/face mismatch with the FO3 Redesigned mod, add the following line to the .ini under [General]: bLoadFaceGenHeadEGTFiles=1

Woo, bit of a debugging session. Managed to fix a few things, then. Missing textures...Turns out I was missing the Revolver texture because you're supposed to download it separately from the New Vegas version. Whoops.Unable to aim down sights with AK-47So this was a little more involved. There's nothing on the STEP guide, but I went and looked at the mod page, and saw something interesting. The mod was installed correctly, but I needed to do another edit in FO3Edit in order to fix the issue. For future reference, remove the flag "Don't use 1st person IS" from the offending weapon entry in FO3Edit. I'm still unable to use FO3 Redesigned (Project Beauty) without the skin problem. I'm trying to do a bit of sleuthing, see if I can uncover something.

Yes, I do. Other textures from NMC's, Ojo Bueno and Hall's are fine too. Here's a screenshot:

But I have the following issues: NPCs having white faces (I checked the ArchiveInvalidation setting in MO, no dice). This is coming from Fallout 3 Redesigned mod. If I disable this, no issues with NPC race.Missing textures for some weapons from Millenia's mods. Notably, the .32SW I think. The NPC Silver in particular has a huge missing texture hologram over her body, when I looted her handgun (.32) I can equip it, but the texture/model is missing. Some other Megaton settlers (Jenny Stahl and randoms) are also having the hologram.Unable to aim down sights with some weapons. Notably, the AK-47 from Millenia's replacer mod. I have downloaded the RH Iron Sights patch, so I'm guessing it's a load order issue.My instinct tells me it's the Load Order, since I can see the plugins activated in the window. Could it be something else? Anything I can try to troubleshoot this? I think I'll be good without the FO3 Redesigned if I can't get it to work... but I need to fix the weapons and textures.
