I got through a certain amount of the game remembering that mild neck seams are normal and supposing I misremembered the races of characters such Easy Pete and Johnson Nash. Does anyone know if this could this be the issue? Update: my last guess is that this could have something to do with my using Mod Organizer rather than NMM or FOMM, since it loads the mods virtually at runtime instead of actually placing them permanently in the game directory. Here's the moral for those of you reading this thread months from now: if you install a new mod that requires you to start a new playthrough, TEST IT AND MAKE SURE IT IS CORRECTLY INSTALLED BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO USING IT! It is equally as likely that I made some other error. I can not now recreate the exact setup that caused my error due to the total reinstall, so the above is only speculation. This is the edit that caused the mod to work. Right now, for example, opening Fallout.ini in notepad++ shows bLoadFaceGenEGTFiles=0, but for my MO mod profile I have made the edit =1 for the virtual file. ini edits are profile-specific, so if you have multiple profiles, it is easy to overlook edits you make for some, forget some for others, and mix up which profiles have which. ini files that are loaded upon launch, without affecting the real files, and ini editor.įrom this I suspect my error may have come from how MO handles.

Problem persisted even with archive invalidation enabled until bLoadFaceGenHeadEGTFiles was set to 1 in both Fallout.ini and FalloutPrefs.ini through MO's built-in. Update 2: I was able to get it to work by doing a clean reinstall of everything.
