New Game...

Post by **Axelofthekey** » Fri Dec 21, 2012 1:56 am

I was under the impression that when starting a new game, you could choose to start in DC or the Mojave. However, when I pick new game, I simply watch both opening videos (First the New Vegas FMV, then the F3 FMV) and then go to Doc Mitchell's. Is there something I have to do to get the option to start in DC?

If I recall correctly you should start in DC and not NV when you start a new game

Disable all your mods, you start in DC by default but any mod that alters the start quest (VCG00) will break that and make you start in NV.

If I had to guess, I would say project nevada is causing it BUT I cant be certain, dont take my word for it.

M'kay. So when I want to start a new game, I should disable all mods besides TTW, start the game, save, and then re-enable mods?

IIRC the tranquility lane plugin was for a glitch involving custom races. With a quick skim over your load order, I can't see any mods that have them, but I highly doubt it would cause a problem.

Speaking for myself I have absolutely no issues with project nevada, or the vast majority of the mods you have. I notice WME plugins (which i dont use) is that Weapon Mods Expansion? And does it conflict in any way with wmx?

My money is on either Dynamic Karma or Companion Sandbox, but I dont know enough about either of them to be sure. And as to messing with the startquest, is it possible to check for conflicts woth fnvedit?

Other than that, I will echo Jax and suggest disabling all mods, then re-enabling them after you start the escape vault 101 quest.

If you have the patience, enabling each mod one by one and restarting your game each time to find the conflict would help others who may experience the same issue in the future.

The Tranquility Lane skip was because when exiting Tranquility Lane, it was keeping me as a child and not returning me to normal, hence making me stuck inside the pod. So I did the skip to avoid playing as a kid ever altogether.

I will start with what you recommended and work my way backwards.

Well, disabling all mods did the trick (It wasn't the two you suggested, or WME or WMX (they caused another odd glitch). Disabling everything did let me start with Fallout 3, but I was greeted with Dr. Li simply standing there after the white flash, no game opening or anything. I'm assuming that's not normal.

Based on research I've now done, I figure it has to do with MMUE changing files, so that even with it not being used, the files are still altered. Reinstalling New Vegas in the hopes that it fixes it. After that, will try redoing TTW installation.

Yeah MMUE has known problems that I am working on fixing in a way that doesn't require a compatibility patch. MMUE reused some FO3 formids that FNV wasn't using. So with TTW activated, TTW and MMUE fight over how to use those formids.
