I downloaded Lonesome Road (LR) from Steam today. First I did the little install that occurs when you hit "Install Game" after purchase, then I did the longer install that occurs when you go to the games library, select the game, and hit play. After a 30-40 minute download, I started up the game. The game seemed fine at first but when I tried to load a saved game, it crashed. I tried several more times and tried several other save games, and each time, it crashed. I then tried creating a new game, and that worked, however, it became clear that the game was not recognizing ANY of the 120+ mods I currently have active. Yes, that is a lot of mods, but that load order had been working perfectly prior to my downloading LR. I will post the load order below.
Anyway, I closed the game and started looking online for solutions. I was told to "Verify Game Cache" so I found that button in Steam and hit it. I was told 3 files failed to download properly and they would be reinstalled. Afterwords, I tried starting the game again and again, the game refused to recognize any mods other than the four DLCs. I did "Verify Game Cache" again and it told me 1 file failed to load properly, and it would reinstall. Since doing that, I have tried Verify Game Cache numerous times, and I either get told 1 file failed to load properly or that all files are fine. Regardless, the game refuses to recognize any mods.
So, I then un-checked Lonesome Road and tried without it, but there was no change - with or without Lonesome Road, the game is not recognizing mods.
I also tried with and without a merge patch, and I have opened FNVEdit and found no conflicts between Lonesome Road and my mods.
I checked binvalidateOlderFiles and it is set to "1".
I then un-checked all my mods except for the four DLCs, started the game, made a clean save (on the new game), and then re-checked the mod boxes and tried to "load" the mods again. There was no change - the game is not recognizing the presence of the mods.
I tried running the game from Steam, with the same result. I checked the data files (rather than using FOMM/NVSE as I usually do) and all the right mods are checked in the data files, but the game still does not recognize them.
While in game (in the new game, sans mods), I opened the console and typed "GetNVSEVersion" and it answered "NVSE Version 2" so I think NVSE is running fine.
So, at the moment, that is where I am stuck - I can open a new game and save games in that new game, and that new game has Lonesome Road (the LR message pops up and the Reunion quest gets added), but the game does not recognize ANY mods, be they large or small, complicated or simple, requiring NVSE or not.
Anyone have any ideas what is going on here and how I can fix this? Any help would be appreciated, thanks. Oh, and as promised, here is my load order, though I don't think load order is the problem since the game is not recognizing ANY mods, and this load order was working prior to trying to dl LR. Also note that there is no merge patch in this load order, but I have tried making and using one. In fact, I've tried two of them. Anyway, any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
