BSA Redirection/Archive Invalidation Invalidated Troubleshooting

[dmt356]

So I used to use the mod version of archive invalidation (with no issue I might add) but decided to switch to the Vortex .BSA redirection workaround because it seemed easier to me. I cannot for the life of me seem to get it to work. I've tried going back to the modded version but now that won't work either. I run the .exe from the "/Fallout New Vegas/data" folder, click activate, load up my game and the body textures are still messed up. Going back to the Vortex BSA workaround, I decided to check the "mod staging folder" where "Vortex Archive Invalidation" is located and there is only one file there: "Vortex - BSA Redirection.override.vortex_lnk". I read somewhere in an archived post on the forums here I should, and I quote, "find the required INI tweaks and redirection BSA. Copy and paste these to their appropriate destinations...". I have a literal screenshot of the inside of that folder and there are no files there, but the one mentioned before. I think I also read somewhere reshade can cause some of these problems, but for some reason I doubt that- I could be wrong though. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
