Not able to activate certain items and quests

Post » Thu Oct 17, 2013 2:07 pm

So my Dead Money quest was not activating. I went into the hole, walked to the back hall and the cut scene did not start where you start choking on gas. I thought it was a bug with the DLC, as my other DLC's worked. However, I was also not able to activate workbenches and ammo benches, etc.. I would click on them and they would not start up. This happened also with a few other things. I have about 50 mods and NVSE. Also I tried making a new game and it would not start. So I ran the regular vanilla version and unchecked everything but the main DLC and everything worked. I was able to start a new game, activate the Vigor Tester Machine and the convo started when I sat on the couch to talk to doc Mitch. I saved my game, went back and checked all mods, started up my NVSE New Vegas and loaded my new save, but the convo wouldn't commence and I just sat there staring at Doc Mitch waiting for it to activate. Is this a bug people get with mods? If so is there any bug fix to, well fix it? Or do I have to do go through each mod on NMM and restart the game numerous times to find the culprit mod?

Because I haven't gotten this problem in the past.

Again, Thank you in advance. Advice would be well appreciated. :wink:

EDIT: Also, I couldn't find anything on forums or the Nexus about this problem.

You already proved it IS a mod that you're using. That is called troubleshooting : )

Just keep going with it. No one here will be able to tell you what mod specifically is doing it. Mods change a variety of things.

You want to enable a few mods at a time until things stop working again. Start with mods that you are unsure of or suspicious of.

Make sure not to overwrite your original save with all mods enabled. You may use that save however to test things. You can make a backup of your save folder or

make another manual save for good measure if u want.
