Skarrux156 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 So, I'm a little lost....Do I install everything in the EXACT order that they are listed on the guide? Oftentimes when I try to set these mods up, they don't work...is there any way someone can work with me through the guide to make sure I'm doing everything correctly? Thanks for your help guys.

MonoAccipiter Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 First time it's a good idea to install everything exactly as instructed in the guide. Eventually, when you become more familiar with the process you can add and remove mods from your setup, within some limits, but if you're not all that experienced it's much easier to offer help when you've followed the guide every step of the way. When using MO it doesn't really matter all that much if you made a mistake at the beginning or the end of the guide, because you can go back and alter whatever you did wrong. So there's no need to worry about that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarrux156 Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 I only ask because last time I tried, it wouldn't work. I kept getting an error (I forget what it was). I can try again, and if it doesn't function, should I respond on this thread with an errorlog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonoAccipiter Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Yes, that works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarrux156 Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) I'm a little lost at the MO step especially. You say to add the 4GB .exe but that's a few mods away...so should I install it at that step? OR when it's listed? Sorry for asking silly questions. EDIT: In the MO setup section, the instructions for Merge Plugins, step 2 reads Nest to the Arguments test field, typr "-profile FalloutNVProfile", with quotations.Do I leave them or no?

MonoAccipiter Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Without quotations. That was a mistake, which I've edited out now. Nice catch. I also edited to say that "you will need to add" instead of just "add", so as to avoid any confusion with the 4GB loader being added later.

Skarrux156 Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) I was just unclear. Got it now though. So I do indeed wait to do 4GB until I'm at that point in the guide? EDIT: Also, shouldn't Merge Plugins be listed in step 3.1 of setting up MO? Edited March 22, 2016 by Skarrux156 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonoAccipiter Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 It should. I've changed the instructions again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarrux156 Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Sorry for nitpicking. I just know that some people, like myself, tend to confuse themselves easily. I don't want others running into the same issues I have, heh. Also, at the point in the guide where you install UiO, you recommend to start up fallout NV to see if it works. Well, I'm getting a black screen followed by a crash, so I must be doing SOMETHING wrong. At that point do I follow the post installation checklist? EDIT: I have been doing post install instructions, and I'm currently generating bash tags. However a good number of mods have had no need to save apparently...is this normal?

Regarding bash tags, that is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarrux156 Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 I don't think I have yet. I ran LOOT but I probably forgot to save the load order. I was trying this all at 2 A.M. last, haha. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonoAccipiter Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Don't worry about nitpicking. If you have an issue just ask. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guynemer Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 This may be a foolish question, but I didn't see it addressed elsewhere in a quick perusal of the forum, or in the guide itself (I very well could have missed it): As I am going through the guide, occasionally an .esp in listed in the right pane and it is NOT automatically have a tick mark (WMX-DLC merged.esp, for example). Should I be ticking those on myself, or are these mods being otherwise activated through the "merge" process when installing the mod in question (WMX, in this particular case)? If so, does ticking those mods on cause a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some esp will be instructed to move to Optional ESPs after merging. Some esp will be merged in to Bashed Patch at the end which will be unticked automatically by Wyre Flash.

MonoAccipiter Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Tick every .esp before making the Bashed Patch, let it disable whatever it wants to, then tick the two mods which have purple names in Wrye Flash after it has finished making the Bashed Patch.
