Now is a good time to mention I'm using UIO so I shouldn't have this issue anyway. So then I tried uninstalling and reinstalling every single mod that edits the hud even the darnified ui. So I uninstalled and reinstalled those mods but that didn't fix it. Yesterday when I went to start up this happened.Īs the game was starting I got messages from a few mods that add hud elements telling me something was wrong with my hud files. Two days ago I finished getting my mods set up and I played for a few hours and everything was fine. Except it doesn't actually crash, while it's loading the screen turns black and then it just stops doing anything and the only way to get out is to go into task manager and shut it down from there. So like I said New Vegas is crashing on startup.

This my first time playing a heavily modded game of NV but I already modded FO3 to high hell and on Skyrim I had so many mods I had to learn how to combine esps to get more mods, so I'm not a total noob. I should say I'm fairly new to modding but not so new that I don't know what I'm doing.

Okay this is the weirdest problem I've ever had and I just can't figure it out. Turns out if they aren't set to read only when you shut down steam it'll overwrite them, which means UIO won't know what the hell is going on and neither will any other mods that edit the hud. So you wanna know what was wrong? If you ever install a mod that requires you to edit your ini files like say the Darnified UI for example if you forget to set those files to read only again you're gonna have a bad time. I finally got the game working and I'd like to say thank you to everyone who tried to help.
