Crashing at loading screen for texture packs

I have NVSE and 4GB Patch although I forgot to run my game vanilla before installing mods. I also got a crash when not running said texture pack mods with a out of memory message. Please any help would be wonderful

There is no such GPU called GTX 3060; you also didn't state your RAM and OS.

You're gonna crash eventually regardless of what to do. You can minimalize crashing but thats it. Using large texture packs will only increase the odds of crashing. It has very little to do with your specs. Having NV use 4gb of memory can only help so much.

you need to uninstall all mods first, and then you open your game and make a new game save, if the game still crash, delete ini file in my document/my games/fnv

then open launcher, set any setting you want and just make a new game saves, and then install all mods that give you stability and necessary stuff, leave texture mods for a while, open the game and test it by fast travelling somewhere (console command tmm 1)

after that, install those texture mods but make sure you have falloutnewvegas.exe already patched with 4gb patcher...this is mandatory for texture modding

out of memory issue - it can happen because you have 4k texture mods + clutter mods (meshes included because ojo bueno has new meshes) but you dont set memory allocation in nvseconfig.ini to certain value (400 - 768mb)

it also can happen because you dont have 4gb patcher

solution:
1.install new vegas heap replacer because it easy to use instead of tweaking nvseconfig.ini
2. in nvtf.ini, set bmodifydirectx=1, it help the memory management
3. you can use vulkan but since youre using rtx 3060, i dont think you need this one

I expect crashes its what 12 year old games do but I had NV working a while ago with NMCs no problem with a older computer now whenever I enable those texture mods my game doesnt even get past the loading screen

You *need* to be using New Vegas Tick Fix with the changes to memory pool allocation enabled in order to run multiple/larger texture packs.

Texture will only impact that if not using the fix in NVTF. The only reasons textures cause that is because by default the game mirrors them to system RAM instead of just storing in VRAM. NVTF (or even ENBoost) fixes that.

Fixed it, I just reinstalled New vegas and all the mods, I think I downloaded something incorrectly but it all works fine now. Followed @SAI61's directions to the teeth thanks for the help friends.

Worth using Vulkan too tbh, even on 3060.
