I use NNM...yes, I know many people take issue with it, but it works well for me, I like it. As for the Mod File names, they all start with " Vault Vixen Visuals - ", different names after that, so I thought I was good (I know same title is an issue), but apparently not. I have since found a couple of alternative Mods to take up the slack and my game is looking good ...I still would like to get to teh bottom of this situation though, because Vault Vixen does do a really great job

 

well if it works for you and you like it that is all that matters as far as which you use.  reason i ask for which is hopefully someone will

also use the same and already have the answer. sadly i have never used NMM so do not know that answer. sorry i was not of more 

help, but at this point anything i can tell you to try would only be a (wild) guess.  the only 2 things i found in common on a web search

is the ini edits needed (which i am sure you have done as others work) and to run it as admin.  the only thing i can think of offhand to try

would be to rename the mods so they do not start with the same name (ie put some letter at the front of the mod name) so they would 

look like

"A Vault Vixen Visuals -"

"B Vault Vixen Visuals -"

and i have no clue if that would work, but other than that i do not know of anything.

hope you find the way to make it work.

Thank you valcon ...Yes, I have thought about altering the File names to see what happens, though that will be for my next game run now, as I am too far into my current game and don't want to jeopardize it by messing with files, but on my next game I will try out the name changes

It sounds like a mod manager issue. Thats why no one uses NMM anymore.  LoL. 
 

the files names don’t matter because once your mod manager opens them, they all have a folder structure they automatically fall into. You will need all the files “Vaul Vixens a-z”. 

to put it simply. if you were to open all those files and drop their contents onto your desktop, or Skyrim folder, you’d see only one folder on your desktop. A data folder. And all those packs would automatically go into that. Since they have the same folder structure. So each one of those files, changes a different set of images in game. Whatever name is after Vaul Vixens, is what they change. So one is billboards, one is magazines. Actually two are magazines. To change ALL the images in game, you want all the folders. 
 

a temporary fix for your problem is to open them all and drop the files onto your desktop. Like I said it’ll create a data (or texture) folder with tons of stuff inside. Drop them all on your desktop so they’re all together in one folder. I think it would be a folder called textures. Your can then take that folder and drop it into your Fallout 4/Data folder. It won’t mess up your game. You’ll just have loose files in your data folder now. Which is fine they’re just textures.

Thank you Nuverotic ...honestly that would be the firsat time I have had an issue with NMM, then again I have only ever used it for Skyrim, perhaps Fallout 4 will be different. I will do your recommendation, than you

I'm sure you've heard this all before but I feel I should tell you. The reason no one uses NMM is because if you make a mistake, you can't fix it. The files are IN your Skyrim directory. Overwriting other files. Permanently. 
MO2 has it's own folders, so if you make a mistake, you can move things around without them affecting any other files. That alone makes it AMAZING. But beyond that, when you get into things like hiding plugins from a mod, hiding specific files from a mod, adding utility tools, moving your load order and plugin load order, NONE of the other mod managers do it like MO2. It's the cream of the crop. And when you start getting big load orders, you're REALLY going to wish you had been learning it. TRUST me. There's no way I could build my load order without it. I currently have 2,447 active plugins.  Absolutely NO WAY to do that with NMM.

But yea, I wrote that last reply to you late last night and I was half asleep, so I hope it made sense. If not, 
All the downloads in Vault Vixen Visuals are basically just separate parts to the WHOLE textures folder that comes in Fallout 4. It's just too big so I separated it based on categories people might want specifically. Like, they may use another Magazine Replacer, so I've got those separate. 
So the Fallout 4 structure is this... Fallout 4/Data/Textures and all my mods have that same structure. It's just past that structure they differentiate. Like Paintings is Data/Textures/SetDressing/Paintings.... And Billboards are Data/Textures/SetDressing/Signage.... So when you drop all the downloads into your Fallout4 folder, they'll be Fallout4/Data/Textures/and so on. None will overwrite eachother.

Hope this helped you REALLY understand it. 

And to speak on your problem. All my files are named differently. So your mod manager should download them and name them as such. Not with the same name. If it is for some reason, just download one at a time, and rename the mod after it installs. Then install the next, rename it, and so on. Or, to do it the easy way, just open all the RAR files and dump them into your Fallout 4 folder. Or your data folder. Depending on whether or not the RAR has the DATA folder in it. If it just has a Textures Folder. Then dump that in your Data Folder. Just remember it needs the structure I explained above. 

There. I've written a novel.

That is why at one point I wanted to change out to MO2, but I couldn't wrap my head around it ...watched GamerPoet over and over again, etc... ...so I sought help elsewhere and was told in no uncertain terms, that all of the Managers including NMM now use that system and so I relaxed, I am very tech-no-logic, though I have been able to successfully Mod and trouble shoot my Mod set up with Skyrim for years now...it's about the only thing I know about computers O.o ...enough to get a silk smooth Skyrim. But I do hear what you're saying Nuverotic and I do appreciate you trying to help me and getting me to use what I am well aware is the most superiour Mod Manager, but perhaps because I am just an old Duck (54), or I'm just techno stupid, no matter how often I have tried to work MO2 (multiple times), I just can't get my head around it ...but I do honestly appreciate your advice, thank you

Suprisingly with all the above said, I do know how to follow your instructions on how to get all of your Mods into my Textures ...10 years of modding Skyrim hasd helped with that

or you could be like someone else i know.  she can watch tutorials all day long and still cannot do what it is teaching, but i can sit across the room

and tell her/answer her questions and she can then do it.  funny is i was literally watching a tutorial and telling her the exact same thing it was.

people learn in different ways, so it might be just that the way you are trying does not work for you.  personally i do best with a set of written 

instructions (ie not a video) but can (if the video is good enough) work with video sometimes.

 

having said that provided you are happy with what you are using (and you can make it work) that is all that matters.

Yes, I'm not sure to be honest, I have relied on Gopher and GamerPoet for years and have always managed to successfully follow their instructions, i have learnt so much from both of them ...but MO2 I seem to seize up on...I think if I had a friend sitting beside me walking me through it, stopping as I ask questions and fine tuning what I need to understand, etc...then i would no doubt get it. Interestingly enough I have a friend who has been in both the Hardware and Software sides on business with Computers for the past 30+ years (he is the reason why I have such a good Gaming PC), he has been adamant over all these years that i have it in me to absolutley nail Computer Software...I was recently diagnosed with fairly severe ADHD O.o...it would explain a lot of "hurdles" throughtout my life, I sit and wonder if that is what has been holding me back from "getting it" with Computers, i do know it most definitely affects my writing, the only way to describe it when I try to line my thoughts up into a coherant stream, is like its a baseball sized jumbled up ball of cotton thread of thoughts  in my head (I can physically feel it) and I continue to desperately seek the end of that thread to bring a coherrancy to my thought stream. We are just waiting for when I can get in to have her look into a prescription for me now ...I'm VERY excited, I hope and pray I will fianlly be able to focus my thought stream and finally write ...and Computer

Are both high resolution and low resolution needed for magazines?

As far as I remember, if the images in these folders are different, then you will get the difference of the images. That is, on an item placed in the game world, you will see one cover, but in your inventory you will see a completely different one. The simplest explanation I can give you.

Exactly right. The low res, as far as I can tell, is used for "In the World" magazines. Once you pick it up, it switches to the high res object. So without both, you'll see vanilla magazines in game, and when you pick them up, they'll be mine.

Thank you thank you!
I hope the games I make will bring the same feelings one day.

[Ichabod]

Very nice work. Fits really well with the Fallout world. 

[Tsuyoi]

Looks amazing! Would this happen to be hosted off-site anywhere? Lately LL downloads are taking forever and keep aborting for large files...

[doktor7]

Really like your work. Do I have to download the whole mod for your Nuka ride work or is it downloadable somewhere else separately. 
 

and how is progress on ketaros treasures. Can’t wait to see your replacer

[filemanagerdog]

You have single handedly made the best nsfw texture replacer. You have people on the nexus making five magazines at a time and releasing it months apart while you replace every single texture with 11/10 quality. I am in awe.

I started modding Starfield when the CK came out this week. I'll honestly probably be doing that for a bit because I'm making a full on quest and follower mod that adds a goth night club.
I would like to eventually finish Ketaro's Treasures. I started on it a couple months back. Just, 5 kids, 2 jobs and a schizophrenic ex (literally) has kept me drowning in stress at home so it's been slow going with everything.

My Nuka Ride work? I did a couple Nuka Ride images that are in the main textures. So you'll have those images. I also did a few separate Nuka Ride posters that I made just for JB the author of Nuka Ride and he put them in his mod. So, you don't need his mod to see my images. But I do HIGHLY recommend his mod. I know it's all subjective but that's my favorite mod for Fallout 4. Ignore what that says about my dirty little kinks.

Wow, thank you so much. That's probably the coolest and nicest thing anyone has ever said about my work ever. I truly appreciate that. Honestly.

These are very very good.    I just ran across this thread as it was at the top and looked at your work and was pleasantly surprised, some of the best work I've seen.  

 

I'm currently playing Nuka Ride, and while looking through the images, I thought to myself, it would be cool to use this, but I don't want to accidentally overwrite any of those cool posters that are already in there. 

Then I read this, and realize they are probably already your images anyway!   LOL!

Yea those are probably mine. lol. But my mod probably wouldn't overwrite the posters I made for him because I think he made unique FormID's for his posters. Mine are just replacers.

Ladies and Gentlemen and Anyone In Between

I was asked if I could get some of my Billboards to replace the ones in the Old World Radio Mod...
After looking into it I decided that I wanted to remake all of the billboards and just release another mod.
I have used some of my Best Billboards from Vault Vixens and Remade the rest from scratch.
I have left a few of the Billboards alone as I didn't think they needed a smut upgrade. Like Twilight Zone and Pee Wee's Radio Billboards. Throwing porn on there would have just made it weird so... They were ignored.

This should all be complete within the week, and I hope you all enjoy it.

Oof. Normally I'd say sure. But I've already made them all and forgot to make clean versions. I always forget to keep a clean version. But! I will Try my HARDEST to remember for future mods. I still have Ketaros Treasures to do. Thanks for the reminder!
Oh I will say, the "holes" or "Black Spots" on the images is actually just the Alpha Channel. So it's not really on the image. It just basically makes that spot invisible so that the billboard can show through from behind it, making it look distressed. So, maybe I could put out a "Non-Alpha Channel" version of them.
