Broken Steel doesn't start
Hi, so I love TTW, but basically I can't start Broken Steel. First I had the usual custom race problem, where I would just go back to the rotunda and be stuck. However I changed the race, also tried the fixes for this, and I no longer have this problem of getting stuck, but I get New Vegas ending credits instead and the game just ends. Does anybody else have a similar problem?

Re: Broken Steel doesn't start
Sounds like you used a bad fix that has reverted the script to the Fallout 3 version of it. The one we posted should work without issue.

Re: Broken Steel doesn't start
I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be the last cutom race fix, because I first tried the simple showracemenu, and only then downloaded the ttw custom race ending fix. Anyways, now I tried launching the game using with 0 mods, except the required dlcs and TTW esmx, still the same thing happened. So does it mean I'm screwed until I restart the game or something?
Also I remember I had to choose at the start of the game where I wanted to start the game (vault or mojave), so was this TTW feature or some mod, which made F3 be the "main" game?

Re: Broken Steel doesn't start
You cannot use showracemenu in Fallout 3 or NV, it doesn't work correctly, and broke your game.
The custom race fix must be the one available here on our forum, not the one from the nexus.

Re: Broken Steel doesn't start
Ok, so basically, I can start over? Cause I used showracemenu after tranquility lane, after it ruined my character. And is there any mod that helps with custom race and tranquility lane, or should I avoid custom races as a plague overall?

Re: Broken Steel doesn't start
If you change your race mid game, at minimum your perks will be broken. Highly recommended to just restart instead. For Tranquility Lane, if you want a custom race, you'll need a duplicated child race that links back to that custom race.Do_Trouble wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 10:11 amOk, so basically, I can start over?

Re: Broken Steel doesn't start
I fixed the perks with finding ids with fnvedit and removing and re-adding them. However, apparently there is no fix for this, so I guess I will have to restart and go with vanilla races.
