I found out how to set up archive invalidation so I figured I would share the method with the community.
+++NOTE+++ I did not create the ArchiveInvalidationInvalidated mod, i just figured out how to make it work with NV.
+++NOTE+++ Since the new update, the way to get it working was to rename it (thanks to FuzzyWuzzy22 for figuring it out). I have already done this for you.
INSTALL:
1.) First open your "Fallout_default.ini" which is located in "Steam\SteamApps\common\fallout new vegas" and search for SArchiveList, once found add "Fallout - ArchiveInvalidation.bsa" to the list before "Fallout - Textures.bsa".
What it looks like before adding the new BSA to the list:
SArchiveList=Fallout - Textures.bsa, Fallout - Meshes.bsa, Fallout - Voices.bsa, Fallout - Sound.bsa, Fallout - MenuVoices.bsa, Fallout - Misc.bsa
What it looks like after adding the new BSA to the list:
SArchiveList=Fallout - ArchiveInvalidation.bsa, Fallout - Textures.bsa, Fallout - Meshes.bsa, Fallout - Voices.bsa, Fallout - Sound.bsa, Fallout - MenuVoices.bsa, Fallout - Misc.bsa
2.) Search for bInvalidateOlderFiles and change it from 0 to 1.
3.) Save Fallout_default.ini.
4.) Place Fallout - ArchiveInvalidation.bsa into your \Fallout 3\Data\ folder.
5.) All done!
