You have an error that says something went tragically wrong, then you go in game and are surprised that things are tragically wrong. You are not a physics major, I'm guessing.

Here's what I don't get: You aren't the first to do this. Do you guys have some sort of group where you hang out and plan the most horrifically obtuse ways to do things, then organize yourselves to report your efforts at the same forum?

Jax covered this in chat. This guy then insisted his problem was all TTW's fault and in his very next breath told us that there were no FO3/ TTW assets in his NV data folder, aside from a partially patched main.bsa.

Running uHUD is as close as your gonna get to a magic fix for your problem, though I don't think TTW does anything with the XML files that pertain to the barter menu. <I'd try that first, then if that doesn't work delete your ttw- main.bsa, then if that doesn't work reinstall FNV/ FO3 but not TTW. We've not seen specs, for all we know you could be on XP... or ya know.. installing on a toaster or something.

Pretty sure most toasters have more gpu power than my poor laptop, so you never know.

Anyway, I'm not exactly some modding savant, but if there is no data from ttw in the nv folder, I'm rather confident it cant cause the problem. As for the barter menu, I don't think ttw does anything to any xml files at all (but I may be wrong, I have been away from my wasteland for a while now). Regardless, if the rest of the data isn't there, then mythical barter menu edits most certainly aren't.

EDIT: Just had a weird mental block. The game needs an esp/esm to tell it to load a bsa right? Other wise the bsa just sits there and doesn't get to play with anyone?

Right.

Yeah, so even having TTW bsa's in the folder won't cause problems unless TTW.esm is loaded.

It is quite a strange coincidence that the trade problem started after TTW failed to install. I can't say I'm 100% its not TTW caused, because that is a hell of a coincidence, but I'm 99% sure it wasn't TTW. Told him to do clean installs of both FO3 and FNV, and then try again.
