Thanks for this great guide. I've tried installing TTW a couple of times but I've always had some issues. I actually had some issues once I was finished with your guide, such as no direction markers on my compass and actually crashing when starting a new game. I disabled a couple of mods and reinstalled oHUD and Darn, and so far, I've been playing for about a week smoothly. I've even added more mods which hasn't affected my load order after finally learning how to use Merge Plugins, which is a godsend. I was curious though what you meant by how the setup no longer works if one is using Win10, which I am. What memory issue did an update cause?

It still works fine with Windows 10. However, the Windows 10 "Anniversary Edition Update" has caused issues with modded New Vegas setups. I don't want to link anything here but if you just google "windows 10 anniversary update new vegas" you can find a ton of threads explaining what is causing it.

Also for the issues you had, I am glad you got it all sorted out. UI can be tricky with Mod Organizer and usually reinstalling those UI mods in the proper order fixes it.

Well I'm glad I haven't yet suffered any issues with Win10. Like I said, once I had everything working, this is the most stable Bethesda game I've played in quite a while. If I could make a suggestion, your videos were well made and of course very helpful, but maybe you could increase the volume of your voice, and also perhaps be more descriptive in what you are doing, since I snapped my windows side by side so I could work while the video was playing, but sometimes I would need to watch in full screen and go back and forth. Also, especially for the larger mods, it might be helpful to start the video with a list of mods you plan on downloading that will take a while so there are no breaks in the work in between. Thanks again for the awesome work though.

Hoping for some quick help. For the most part, everything is still very stable in my game. I have added the mod Lone Courier's stash along with some of the performance improvements found here. I just arrived in the Mojave and everything looks good, aside from getting the red exclamation error at the Goodsprings gas station, where the gas pumps would be. Counting, it looks like it's missing 6 textures (the red exclamation means a missing texture, right?). Everything else I can see so far seems to be working fine in the Mojave, though I just completed Ghost town gunfight and I'm on my way to Primm, so I haven't seen everything. I just can't figure out which textures I might be missing, even if they are only in that one location, which I'm hoping is the worst case scenario.

Thanks for any help.

Yes red exclaimation/triangles mean you're missing textures. I would open up which ever mod it is with the missing textures and look at the file tree. You want the textures folder right at the top level. I would guess it's probably buried inside a data folder or something.

No. Red diamonds with white ! in them means you're missing the mesh, not the texture .

So follow the instructions from khumak but look in the meshes folder instead of textures.

That's my biggest problem. I don't know which of my mods might be the one missing textures. I looked in Data and didn't see any folders out of place, and looking at textures, things seemed to be in their proper place. Nothing stuck out anyways.

Edit 1: Thanks Rise. I'm looking at my Data/Meshes in MO, and while looking at architecture/wasteland, I see a lot of meshes that are italicized and come from TTW - fallout3 meshes bsa, one of which is labeled gasstation. I double checked, and all of my archives are selected, even though it shouldn't matter since MO manages archives. I never saw any mesh errors while in the Capital Wasteland though.

If I had to guess, I'd say you had this installed in NV: http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/60246/?

That gives you nice looking pumps at various gas stations. It's the only mod I know that does. You may have accidentally deleted the files that go with it.

Wow, I feel like an idiot. Thank you jlf65. At first I didn't recognize that mod, but you were right, I did accidentally delete the mesh files because I had merged this mod with several others using Merge Plugins, but I did not copy the assets into the new mod, so when I removed the original to save on space, my new esp was looking for something that was no longer there. All I had to do was just reinstall the mod but disable the esp, and everything looks good now. Again, thanks to everyone that responded.
