Functional Meshes and Textures for Fallout New Vegas

Before doing the following make sure you save a copy of your save game files and copies of the files that you are editing for that JUST IN CASE situation

1) Download the manual version of ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated at http://modsreloaded.com/archiveinvalidation-invalidated (make sure it is the manual version and not the recommended) and place the .bsa file in your [location of steam]\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas\Data folder

2) Open the following files on your computer in notepad or something similar:
\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas\fallout_default.ini
My Documents\My Games\Fallout NV\falloutprefs.ini
My Documents\My Games\Fallout NV\fallout.ini
(fallout.ini may be read only, right click on the file and choose properties, uncheck read only and hit apply. After making the changes below, put fallout.ini back to read only)

3) Edit the [Archive] section in each file
Make the SArchiveList look like:
SArchiveList=Fallout - Voices1.bsa, ArchiveInvalidationInvalidated!.bsa, Fallout - Textures.bsa, Fallout - Textures2.bsa, Fallout - Meshes.bsa, Fallout - Sound.bsa, Fallout - Misc.bsa

Save and close the file (make sure you put fallout.ini back to read only)

Loder? What does this do? Why would someone want to make this change? I'm curious. Myself I use Breeze, Beware of Girl and some Dimonized99's files for my bodies and the armor patches to go with them. Is this fix for a vanilla game so you don't have to use mods?

For the skies and terrain, I use the Detail Normals, Nevada Skies and Imaginator, those take care of earth and sky textures but there are so many more mods available also! Wow, boggles my mind!
