I especially don't remember doing this, the creepy stuff I added was supposed to remain confined to the areas I created.

They seemed to carry looks of intense misery, as if they had seen a loved one die right before them. The NPCs which normally walk around were just standing there, as if their AI had been disabled. I loaded the save anyway, interested to see what was going on, I was in Freeside near the north gate. This was normal, because the save I loaded was rather old, nothing wrong there. When I went to load my save file, the error message that normally notifies you that a previously loaded mod that the save depends on isn't present appeared. I remember tampering with the game's music files earlier, so it was quite possible I forgot to put everything back where it belonged (I often make silly mistakes like that). The title screen came up normally, but the music was absent. After this, I decided the only way I'd figure out what was going on in my mod was to play it with the game, so I could explain to the admins what happened and hopefully get my account back. Even though the variable for loading multiple master files was enabled in the GECK's configuration settings, it would not load the mod. I checked the file's masters and it was only the FalloutNV.esm master file that contained the unmodified game's data. The filesize was much bigger than the one I uploaded to the server, I tried to open it up in the GECK modding tool, but an error message popped up saying that multiple master files were detected and the tool wouldn't load it. He sent it to me, and already I could tell there was something off about it. I told him that I needed to check to make sure it wasn't tampered with because I was banned and needed to see if there was something wrong with the mod. He said that he hadn't played the mod yet, and he asked me why I wanted my own file. I talked to a friend on the site who had downloaded it, I asked him to email it to me. I was angered by this, I spent weeks working on that only to be banned? I needed to find an explanation. My account was banned, and there was no message from the admin. I uploaded it to a modding website I am a regular to, and a few days later I checked on it. I spent several weeks adding on new ideas to the mod, learning many things as I went on, and finally the mod was finished. I had quite enjoyed reading creepy pastas, and I wanted to make something reminiscent of that for Fallout: New Vegas. I look back on those days and laugh sometimes, after how far I've come. The most experience I had was creating stupid little Doom 2 WADs and making sprites in MS Paint. At the time, I was quite new to modding of any kind. I had been interested in Fallout modding since I first got Fallout 3 for my computer. Now, normally I was quite active in the Fallout: New Vegas community.
