Corrupt graphics in Nuka World - how to fix?

[Macaw!]

Certain parts of Nuka World (the transit centre and a lot in the SE area) are corrupted. I just see lots of plain triangles. If this was a mod I'd reinstall it. How do I reinstall a DLC? And I don't want to lose any progress in Nuka World quests.

How do you know it is not a mod? By using them, I would guess your issue is caused by one of them. I Have never experienced your issue there or any place in the game after more than 1700 play hrs in the game. But then again, I do not use mods. Except a few CC ones.

I would think you can uninstall a DLC from your Steam library. Not had to do that myself however with any game's DLC.

You have to turn off 'loose files' in your INI, i believe. That fixes the issue of graphic things in the nuka cars arena. It might fix other issues.

If not, validate your files in steam. I don't know of any specific mods that can lead to graphic corruption, as the above guy, I only run about 15 mods or so.

I guess it could be. But I have 150, without trying every one, it could take a while to narrow it down.

How do you find enough to do in the game without mods? I'm constantly adding quest mods.

Doesn't seem to be possible without uninstalling the whole game. But even if I could, I don't want to lose progress in Nuka World quests.

I want to know more about loose files before doing that, this page says they're needed for mods: https://thebestmods.com/fallout-4/fallout-4-enable-loose-files-two-simple-ways

And this validation won't mess up all the mods and changes I've made? Sounds risky. This thread suggests it resets stuff - https://steamcommunity.com/app/377160/discussions/0/492379439667870767/ . I ain't doing that just to fix a part of Nuka World.

That's for bottles (tried it anyway). Everything is broken in mine. I just get huge plain triangles everywhere for everything. It happens in the transit centre, the trading place, and in the wasteland to the west of that, towards the religious nuts.

[Macaw!]

Tried the bottle fix, tried repairing the game, tried reinstalling the whole game. Still there. Must be a mod. ARGH!

[Macaw!]

FIXED IT!!! That took an hour.....

It was the mod "Viva Nuka world" or "Nuka world Reborn" - I think they're a pair I got together and are part of the same thing.

Doesn't make sense since when I got those I did quests in Nuka World so was over there extensively with no graphics problems. turning off every mod I got since those left the problem there.

Ahh. So I was right after all. But I am glad you got it corrected.

Yes, but I don't understand why you were right. Those mods worked when I got them. And it can't be a conflict with later ones, as turning everything later off caused the problem to still be there. Bugthesda :-)

But I do have a new found faith in Nexus Mod Manager.

It was a guess by myself, which I felt more than likely, I was right about. One can see a lot of issues on here which are caused by mod users.

And Granted many of those are caused by the player not having the mods set up right. But sometimes, it is not. It can be a outdated mod or the simple fact they can conflict with other mods or cause issues with the base game.

It' rare that I defend Bugthesda, but in that case....
Turning off mods mid-game is (often) pointless, cause the information is already baked in the save file. If you're lucky, it does nothing, if not. the game crashes, sooner or later.

Anyway, just for the record, it's caused by conflicting precombines. try " NWR - No Previs - Interiors" in the optional files (and load late)

In 150 mods, it's the first time I've blamed a mod. Usually it turns out to be the base game. I find the same problem reported by people with no mods.

Not what I've heard. People often uninstall mods. All that happens is objects disappear. There's even a thing called clean save - over the first few minutes, the game cleans up references to the deleted mod.

Sorry you'll have to translate that into English :-)

So am I, I had great fun in Nuka World for a bit. Usually I get fed up of the place, everything being walled off into sections for a start, not so easy to roam about. I usually end up putting a jet pack power armour on and flying out. But now I have a few mods to add more enemies, I ended up watching a fight between BOS, Responders, and alien versions of the insects. It's quite funny to see a BOS guy killed by a little (well not quite so little) insect.
