Ever since the 1.4 patch was released and the New Vegas script extender was released I have been having a creepy problem with my game. I would suddenly black out and hear a ghoul sound as if I were being eaten or transformed. I would then hear another ghoul sound and wake back up at night time, this never stops and I don't know if it is a mod that is broken or if my game is just messed up.

I had this problem too. Let me guess, you are running "Character Backgrounds"? If so, the mod shares the same FormID with ones from FalloutNV.esm. You have to change the FormID's so they are not identical to each other. The scripts are different, but the FormID's are the same.

thanks for the help, but I am not sure how to fix the problem or find out which mod is causing the conflict.

Are you running Character Backgrounds?

I am not sure what a character background is.

It's a mod. I guess if you don't know what it is, you are not running it. It's a mod called "Character Backgrounds". I had the exact same problem as you, and it turns out, it was that mod. And the newest patch Obsidian released, changing form ID's for existing records.

EDIT:

Have a look at this: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=42727. If you are using that mod.

so it could be any mod I have running, I should probably just wait for ID fixes or just go by trail and error by seeing if disabling certain mods work, I appreciate your help.

Yeah. I'm running over 100 mods, popular ones, and the only one that produced the problem you describe is "Character Backgrounds". But you may have some more obscure mods running...

would the preorder dlc mods or additional vanilla mods cause conflicts? I also heard that a few ammo and energy weapon changing mods cause conflicts.

I can't say for sure without openeing them up in FNVEdit...sorry.

I had the same problem and systematically went through my mod list disabling several mods at a time and seeing if it persisted. In my case the problem was with Urge's Abandoned Shack mod, though other mods might cause it as well.

As a fun aside: Googling the fade to black and ghoul noises, brought me the information that this is the Beatrice Russel six scene that keeps looping.
