TURN ARCHIVE INVALIDATION OFF THEN ON AGAIN. READ THE FAQ IN THE DESCRIPTION AND ALSO READ BUG REPORTING BELOW BEFORE REPORTING ANY PROBLEMS
Bug Reporting
If you are going to report a bug, first make sure you have toggled Archive Invalidation off then on and read the whole description. If your error still occurs post your bug report in a way that means I can actually help e.g. -
The id of the NPC if it's a bug with an NPC (open console and click the NPC and note NPC id at the top.)
If it is a problem with your character let me know the race you are using.
Screenshots are required if it is a visual bug and you want me to help. Please also be as descriptive as possible, if you aren't then again I can't help you and you won't get a response.
PLEASE READ THE ABOVE AND THE DESCRIPTION
If you post about seams (without following the installation instructions), asking me to make a compatibility patch for hair mods, or about white faces and black bodies, or just comments that are covered in the description they will be deleted (I'd rather spend my time working on the mod then answering questions that I have already answered).
Also if you guys have any suggestions for what you would like to see more of or something new from this mod please comment and let me know!
I do not have time to support this mod currently, feel free for anyone to release any bugfix patches for the mod. You can find one created by lunarionsilver here.
Disclaimer: The installation process is bugged, regardless of not selecting a companion mod change option, the mod still installs the Russell companion .esp file and for some reason the bloody .esm file is missing. That .esp file needs to deleted unless you have the required .esp files to make it run or the game will crash. And the uploader's disclaimer hidden in the comment section is appalling. The mod fix he referred apparently worked (i mean all does is add the .esm as far as i'm concerned) I traveled through the abyss to discover that, hope i save someone the time I lost trying to get this awesome mod to work. Can't let the +47k endorsers have all the fun while people like me are stuck in limbo, dying to not dare do another playthrough staring at the same playdoe faces.
Strange...I didn´t encounter that, but whta is weird: if I enable the "sweat" option, the installer puts a file called "FCO-sweat" in my data folder...without any extention, so I had to rename it to "FCO-sweat.esp"..... ??
Don't do that, that is dumb. Honest, this mod looks great, but has so many damn issues half the time it isn't as worth it as it used to be. Lots of people will not recommend it, it is dated now as well. Over 10 years old and there sadly isn't a lot of better alternatives. Christ they have the best ghoul and half ghoul textures out there... Actually there are the only ones out there.
Soo i Tried to use this but had to scrap it. Mod was randomly decideing that my char wasn't allowed eyebrows, and when it did if i drew my weapon it would throw me underground untill i put my wep away.... checked my logs always eyebrow errors, removed this and both the problem and errors went away.
Hello! It's my first time modding FNV. I've always played this game in PS3, so I don't have much experience.
I'm trying to make this mod work. I use Vortex. I'm using Delilah and Willow mods as well. I have the required mods to run this one, which are UIO and NVSE. I have the DLCs. My game runs perfectly fine, but the mod doesn't work (of course, I've been trying many things and each attempt I created a new save, I haven't been using the same pre loaded save). I've read something related to "toggle archive invalidation off and on", which I can't find because I'm using Vortex, not NMM, but I suppose that's not the issue.
Since I don't have much experience, I don't really know what to add so anyone can help me. I'll add a screenshot of my mods, maybe it will help. Thank you!
NMM is vortex to the best of my knowledge. To get to the archive invalidation screen go into the settings tab just above the mods tab and its right there.
It is 2024 and this mod still works fine, just gotta know what you're doing. I started a New Vegas installation from scratch then slapped this on a day ago without issues. FCO Bugfixes is mandatory, FCO The Last Few Edits not mandatory but highly recommended. Archive Invalidation checked on is mandatory! Pay attention to MISSING MASTERS. If you have FCO - Russell.esp checked on, but lack the Russell companion mod it relies on, you are going to crash 100% of the time because it's missing a mandatory dependency, the master file. Hence, missing masters issue. I don't know if NMM or Vortex tells you, but Mod Organizer 2 warns you when you're missing a master.
And no, it's not seamless. There's no texture/body mod that'll make FCO seamless. The closest you can get is enhanced vanilla textures. But I don't play New Vegas like I play Baldur's Gate 3 or Skyrim (2-4K original character photo simulator), so I don't mind the seams at all.
Posting my load order to help others in their troubleshooting.
Did the archive invalidation thing and edited my inis to fix the white face bug, but the hands still don't match the rest of the body. they're over saturated. is that normal? anyone got a fix?
Worst piece of dogshit ever made spent 3 days troubleshooting to figure out this mod is the problem so after 5 hours of trying to fix it with absolutely nothing fucking working out of every fix listed and installation guide no thanks to the mod and author itself.It doesn't work so I delete it and it fucks up so bad I have to start from scratch.Litteraly all the comments saying this mod is dogshit is 100% the truth don't use this s#*!
To anyone who's not familiar with people who have no idea what they are talking about but love to ruin the fun for everyone else, THIS MOD IS PERFECTLY FINE TO USE IN YOUR GAME. ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING FCO LAST FEW EDITS EXIST.
I know I love how people just blindly claim this mod is broken now. It's temperamental and requires patches sure, but not broken in any sense of the word. There may be better ways to do NPC's now with CKR that have less conflicts, but this mod holds up fine.
So, I used to have this mod installed with no issues despite everyone saying it was buggy. Made the mistake of disabling it, then decided I didn't like what I was trying to replace it with and wanted to re-enable character overhaul. I have tried completely reinstalling it, turned archive invalidation off and back on again, but no matter what I do everyone is walking around as a big red square with an exclamation point. Any tips? If no tips any other suggested mods that will make my game not look like it was released in 2010?

Another tip? Use LOOT.

(That Arcade.esp is from FCO Companions Remix V2. Again not mandatory but highly recommended, Arcade looks very cute.)
It's been almost 10 years since its last update. This mod WILL bloat/break your game. Just don't.
