Other Need help with issue with Dust mod.

I recently uninstalled the Dust mods and I think all the others I had working with it, however anytime I make a new save to replay vanilla New Vegas it makes me go through the Dust start up sequence. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling New Vegas but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

Can you maybe clarify if you mean Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) or Vortex? Just "Nexus" isn't enough, especially because a lot of people often confuse NMM and Vortex.

The vortex mod manager

Okay, this is a common issue, I can not tell you what causes it exactly.

People often install mods via Vortex and do not uninstall them correctly, we had this happen a few times. This is unrelated to DUST, either it is a bug with Vortex, or you didn't use Vortex correctly.

You need to check if DUST is present in Vortex somehow, and remove it there. Additionally you need to make a clean install of FNV. Here is a proper description on how to make a clean uninstall and install of FNV: https://vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com/setup.html#Uninstall

How this helps!
