Fallout New Vegas wasteland defence issue

[Commander Holden]

Ok for some reason when i try to use the water blueprint it dosen't work,I really wanna use this mod and it would be a shame if I can't get it working proporly.Dose anyone know how to fix this?

It's a bug, go back to the NEXUS and have a look in the mod comments, it may even be posted on the title page of the mod.
There is a simple fix but i can't for the life of me remember what it was.

Just extracted my version to have a look, this is straight from the mods FAQ;

Q: I click on the water tank plans but nothing shows up/a big exclamation mark shows up.

A: Make sure you're running the latest NVSE version (1.05 beta) and that you've unpacked the main file with its correct directory structure (includes a Meshes folder and a Sound folder).

What folder do i but it in?

[Commander Holden]

I have it in Data but do i take the contents of the folder out or do i keep it in?

[Commander Holden]

Ok so i extracted the files and it still didn't work.

Sorry it took so long to reply, job hunting.
Main directory where your .exe is for NVSE, not data file. Exract the mod to data file, if you have to (which is better) extract to a temp file or even desktop, then copy/cut and paste to your data file and overwrite all if it asks you.

Double click on the Launcher.exe, select Data Files and enable the mod, press ok and exit.

Then launch the game as normal, or open game install location and double click FalloutNV.exe

Its ok i get it and thanks I am going to try that right now.

[Commander Holden]

So i should get it manually insted of using nexus to download it?

If you use NMM, NEVER extract the files (mod manager does that for you), ALWAYS use them in the packed up state that the mod comes in.

You can but sometimes it screws up. Manual install into NMM by putting the zipped file into where mod manager stores your mods, not to where it's installed, then just d/click the mod to install.
For me NMM is installed into Program Files x86, but the mod directory is in my games folder, thats just the way i set it up. I'm not sure what the default directory is.

ok so I have nvse in the main directory, i take the contents out?

Yes, unpack NVSE and put all the files, .exe into your main directory.
The only time you would un-pack a mod is if you're doing a manual install

[Commander Holden]

Ok
