Odd series of errors

Post » Thu Dec 15, 2011 10:10 am

So after building a new computer, I installed Fallout 3 and performed extensive mod testing to find the source of an old problem with Lings Finer Things. It never appeared, and I felt myself to be safe from conflicts for the time being. The process was simply to start a new game and take myself as far as Tenpenny Tower upon exiting Vault 101, and making a save there, just before the gate, and then installing each mod one at a time, and checking each time to see if it caused the error. I had forgotten the autosave, however, which had given me a file just within Tenpenny Tower, and I used that for the conflict check after disabling further autosaves.

After this testing, I decided to be sure, I went back and loaded up the save before the gate once all of my mods were installed, and therein lies the problem. After the slew of messages from Bortherhood Patrols, Alton, Groovatron, and Enhanced Weather and the like... it would start to rain, and my rad meter would appear and increase, courtesy of Enhanced Weather. And then, curiously, a red ! diamond would appear around my character, slowly materializing. http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n319/TheRisingDragon/ScreenShot1.png Furthermore, many of the residents, including Susan Lancaster, were missing their bodies entirely, leaving only their hands and their heads visible. And the hands were colored bright purple, signifying a missing texture error. Some NPCs, such as the security guards and the doctor, retained their full body, though their arms and hands were still colored purple while their heads and faces seem fine.

But it doesn't stop there.

Upon pressing Esc to bring up the menu, it'd come up... http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n319/TheRisingDragon/ScreenShot2.png. More texture errors--and when I click load to load up a different save... http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n319/TheRisingDragon/ScreenShot3.png. Exiting the menu retained the purple lighting and I could still not load up a different save. The problem, thus far, has only persisted on this one save file before talking to Gustavo to open the gate to Tenpenny Tower. Loading the autosave of me already in the tower shows that there's nothing wrong within it or outside of it. I have toggled ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated, and have tried the Master Update, which seems to have done more harm than good, as I now can't run the game without the mods (except for Fallout Remastered) being in .esm format.

So, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, or what's causing this issue?
