Hello folks, I've recently gotten into a rather confusing and semi-frustrating predicament. Tinkering with a myriad of mods as I usually do produces odd results/bugs, whatever, it's manageable. But this time I made a minor change that may or may not have doomed a character of mine, maybe other saves or future games. To be specific, I changed a Fallout Character Overhaul setting to not feature HD eye textures to fix another small nuisance I was having with the companion Willow's eyes. So I go to reload a save near Jacobstown (upon saving here prior, game conditions were fine) to see if the fix was successful and lo and behold there's my character stuck in the ground under the road, except my character isn't there. He no longer exists, though makes noises and grunts as most would do when stuck in a window opening of a ruined household in the Mojave clearly big enough to crouch through. First I exit to disable the change I have in FCO, restart NV and I'm still sitting tight in the earth. Whether the change is relevant to this, I don't know. I activate the Pip-Boy to fast travel somewhere to fix this notorious glitch... hand won't show up and nothing on the wrist watch is selectable as the screen's still blank. Fine, I'll just use the console commands to teleport to the mutant standing nearby. Easy. Still underground, though this time I've traded a view of Willow's jeaned under-crotch for a mutant's. Activate 0 collision and lift myself up. Genius! Nope. Can go vertical but still don't exist. Toggle free camera, select self to suicide? Still don't exist, nothing to select. Ah let's reload another save from a two minutes before this one! Nope. Save #2 now with a rare view under Julie Farkas's lab coat. Upon starting a new game, it was buggy until Mitchell helped me up. I didn't try going through all the character creation beyond face customization to leave his house. I'll try a few more ideas, including uninstalling all my mods, testing, then reinstalling bit by bit but that's time-consuming so I'll report back later. Any ideas or incite would be much appreciated. I'm getting tired of game-ending bugs like this. Going through the early game processes of a fisticuff brawler gets very tedious after the first go.
