[quote=Datedsandwich]...Never cleaned a mod, i'd assume the mod creator would do it?[/quote]
this is a bad assumption to make. here is a [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qVKe51dRm2M]video tutorial[/url] on mod cleaning with FNVEdit.
[quote=ElminsterAU]With each new version of FNVEdit it is STRONGLY recommended to restore plugins from backups and reclean them. Otherwise any fixes and updates to cleaning process won't take effect.[/quote]
from the [url=http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/34703]FNVEdit[/url] page on the Nexus
other than the Purge Cell Buffers and no merged/bashed patch, nothing else immediately jumps out at me as a problem. you might want to consider learning how to use FNVEdit to merge some of your esp's, to reduce the number of items in you load order
