[HELP] I see multiple moons in the sky : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sat May 28, 2011 4:59 am

i've used too many mods to have made the mistake i did of installing multiple mods at once. but make that mistake i still did. among those ive installed were some darker nights and lighting mods. however, after playing a while and installing more mods, i still found the nights too bright. figuring that it was probably a conflict among the night mods, i started unchecking one after the other.

well i found a combination with the right night darkness that suited me. but the sky had lots of moons! its like a texture of the sky with the moon visible pasted over and over in different angles. here's my load order:

FYI, the moon graphic is wrong anyway. The game displays a daytime moon (top half of the moon is lit, bottom half is dark) at night. There was another game that made this same mistake -- might have been Fable 2. I know this doesn't help your issue, but if you already know the one moon graphic is glitched, then maybe it's easier to live with a bunch of glitched moons, ha!

When removing a mod, you should also be removeing any of the meshes, textures, or sounds, related to the mod as well.
Leaving this clutter behind can royally mess up a game, if any of it overrides the base game stuff.

yeah i really shouldve known better. what i dont understand is why removing day_and_night.esp causes it. day and night is an esp only mod with no textures, meshes, etc.
