Hey, guys. I'm freaking out right now, because I've played dozens of hours of the game after having completed the guide, but now am starting to have problems. I'm getting frequent crashes in particular load areas, including Mick & Ralph's, the outdoor area of Freeside containing the Atomic Wrangler, and the command tent at Camp Forlorn Hope. I can only speak for these places because Freeside and Camp Forlorn Hope are where my two different characters happen to be at the moment. There could be many more locations. Some I have not gotten to load even once (Freeside), while some have loaded inconsistently (Forlorn Hope tent). I attempt to enter the area, get the loading screen for a few seconds, and the game CTDs. I also experienced one random crash when I opened a dumpster out in the desert near North Vegas, of all things, but upon reloading was able to open the dumpster without incident. I have made some changes to my mods recently: i realized that a few of New Vegas Redesigned 3's faces (at least Boone, Veronica, and Cass) weren't showing up because they were being overridden by Project Mikoto, which I installed because I wanted more hair and eye options for my character. I don't have any of the Mikoto addons designed to distribute the new hairs and such to NPCs, but whatever. I changed my load order a little and fixed the faces easily. I also unticked a mod I have called DK Female Face Textures just because I wanted to remind myself what the game looked like without them. Finally, I've had the Enhanced Blood Texture mod unticked all along after a little testing of its effects because I didn't really care for it, but I decided to retick it and give it another try. This is what I get for tinkering with multiple things without testing them or making a backup! Thing is, I've manually restored everything to the way it was before I started messing around with the above mods, and the crashing problem is still present. Is it even related to the changes I made? Update: Also crashed while walking around the desert near Forlorn Hope and near Nelson and when trying to enter Willow's bungalow in Novac and the nearby Short Stick Saloon from New Vegas Bounties. Just one crash each, was able to enter these areas after reloading. Still no luck entering Freeside even once. Update 2: I hadn't ever rebuilt the Bashed Patch after the changes I made, so I really thought I was on to something when I did that this morning, but still no luck with Freeside.

All of my archives were checked. I basically went back and redid almost all installs just in case, and tried launching the game periodically every few mods. The problem seems to lie with the no-cheat version for merging Millenia's Additional Weapons. After following the FNVEdit directions for deleting "Cell" and the errors under Forms for each gun, the game won't launch. If I delete the merged mod and use the individual esps it works, and if I merge the mod regularly it also works. I'm OK with simply ignoring all the guns scattered around Doc Mitchell's house, but it seems like there might be something wrong with the method directed in the guide. I went through the steps several times to be sure I was doing it right.

Hi, everyone! I did several test-runs while I was partway through following the F&L guide to the letter, but not since roughly around the time to install armor retextures (Clothing is Not Optional). This evening I finally ran FNVLODGen, ran LOOT, and created my Bashed Patch, and when I boot the game through the 4GB loader the first thing I notice is the little Vault Boy head doesn't appear in the bottom left corner when the Bethesda logo comes up. Then, when the title screen fades in, the title and start menu UI don't appear. It just shows the image of the desert ranger while the music plays, and I have to quit the game through the Task Manager. Do I have to systematically untick each plugin, launch, and Ctrl+Alt+Del until I find a culprit that I installed incorrectly? Or does anyone have some thoughts that might narrow it down? This is probably unrelated, knowing my luck, but the Bashed Patch I created has a red & white X flag next to it in MO's left panel that says "No valid game data." That just stood out to me. Many, MANY thanks in advance.
