God dammit that mod list took forever to tweak I've been fooling around with mods for a little bit now, testing things out and modifying stuff when something isn't quite how I want it to be. I just now looked at the "created on" date on the first mod I downloaded and it turns out that was in early August. But I'm like this close to actually playing the game I swear.

I've been running into a problem with my explosives - sometimes enemies just don't seem to get phased by my missiles or grenades. What's causing all this and how do I fix it?

The other is a rare glitch where a non-NPC creature can spawn with a certain flag that causes it to be completely immune to explosive damage. There's a mod called Explosives Immunity Fix you can try to solve that.

Raygereio posted:That can be two things in my experience. The first is that the game tries to make enemies that are behind cover, not be affected by the explosive's splash damage. The problem though is that - probably due to collision meshes often not following object's visual shape - the game can treat a fence or a tiny pebble as adequate cover. Not much you can do about this. But here are some mods that improve object's collision meshes. It can be worth testing if those improves things. Let me put it this way. I launched a low-yield mini-nuke on two coyotes. They were unfazed. I launched multiple rockets at an adult deathclaw. It didn't care.

If they're not affected by direct hits with explosives or multiple explosives in a row, it's definitely this.Raygereio posted:The other is a rare glitch where a non-NPC creature can spawn with a certain flag that causes it to be completely immune to explosive damage.

How can I tell in FNVEdit whether a cell and it's containers is set to respawn or not? What entries and flags do I need to identify? I'm asking because I want to know how I can tell if mod-added locations are good or not for making a homebase.

I think it must not have an Encounter Zone assigned to it.

I'm in the middle of Honest Hearts and I'm having a terrible time with all of the creatures. It's an endless stream of giant cazadores, giant geckos, and giant yao guai running straight at me from across the map. Can anyone recommend something to tone it down a bit? The number of fast, poisonous creatures is stupid and exhausting.

The holorifle will cure what ails ya, and you can slam MC cells into it and never have problems again. On the note of dlc weapons, are there any mods that improve upon gods chosen gun, the nail gun?

Realistic Weapons Damages - Unofficial Update will magnify damage taken by DLC creatures, especially from headshots. It makes for a much more fast paced combat and you should often be able to bring down creatures before they get close...but when they get close you're even more screwed. Original mod is recommended to accompany it, both esps can be merged together safely. Alternatively you could try BLEED for a similar effect but it makes poisons deadlier as well.

You can also pick up the signature weapon mod, it's specifically meant to make almost every gun end game material by leveling it up alongside you.

The weapons you get there mostly have low requirements as well.

I ended up turning down the difficulty and just powering through. I was never a big fan of HH compared to the other DLC in the first place. Looking back I went into it only at level 9, so I don't know what happened to give me all the insane creatures.

Is anybody still able to play the game after the Windows 10 Anniversary update? I'm getting consistent CTD any time I try to load or start a game, and this is after completely nuking my install and starting wholly vanilla. Apparently it's got something to do with AMD and NVidia graphic drivers breaking some kind of GPU check within the engine. Supposedly rolling Nvidia drivers back to version 368.81 will fix it, but as I just discovered, you can't install those older drivers if you have the Anniversary update installed because they're not compatible with that version of Windows, despite only being like 2 months old!

So try that and see if it works out for you, it did for me. It'll basically spoof the game into thinking you've got a completely different GPU and drivers but will otherwise work fine.

Mr. Fortitude posted:I'm just going to quote myself in the Steam thread if that's okay. That just caused a purple screen and a CTD before the game even got to the main menu. I was reading on the official support forums for New Vegas that this was supposedly fixed on Nvidia's end with the latest driver update, but with the issue still persisting, it means that it's something on Bethesda's end with how the game is programmed. Fallout 3 and Oblivion are suffering from the same issue. Some engineer or something with Nvidia posted this on their forums: quote:The new Windows 10 Anniversary Update had a specification change that required our display driver to output a different string from the previous drivers in the past. This has affected some games which were unfortunately developed with the assumption that the value would never change. We are working with Microsoft to find a solution. Also, quote:Drivers 368.81 and below are WDDM 2.0. R370 and higher drivers are WDDM 2.1. So if you can roll back drivers, do that. If you can't like me, then I guess you're SOL too. Unless there's some way of removing the Anniversary Update from Windows 10. EDIT: I have had success in launching the game using this specific d3d9.dll fix... http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/34778/tab=2&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fnewvegas%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D34778&pUp=1 Proletarian Mango fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Oct 2, 2016 |

I've used Mod Organizer in the past for Skyrim and I wanted to use it for FNV. I read that you have to use a separate installation of MO to do that (you can't just pick a different game) which I have done but I can't get it to recognise .nxm links despite clicking the Associate button. Is there something I've missed or should I just download everything manually instead?

I'm a bit confused by this error prompt. From the title bar it looks like it's from MO, and it doesn't recognize the particular Bethesda game to associate the link with, but then it goes on to suggest you need to turn on handling of .nxm files, but how would you even get to this error prompt if that wasn't turned on? Are you sure that your FONV install is set up correctly with your MO install?

The handler application gets triggered by the Nexus links, and then it routes you to the correct installation of MO. First: Create a separate copy of MO for New Vegas. You can use the installer, or you can just unzip the stuff into a different folder. You need to find the copy of MO your browser uses to handle the links (Skyrim), then click on nxmhandler.exe from that folder to see which games it is handling:  Right-click in the window if you need to add a new game, and point the link to the correct copy of MO. Any copy of nxmhandler.exe can be registered to handle the links, but whichever one you pick has to know about all the different MO folders.

nexus6 posted:Thanks, I'll give that a try. I've already downloaded most of the mods I want to use manually for FOMM, is there any advantage to using MO over FOMM or vice versa? MO unpacks all those mods to their own individual folders, and then it does dark voodoo to trick the game into believing all of them are in your Data folder. So If you've already installed a bunch of stuff with FOMM, you're not really going to see a ton of benefit, since they're outside of MO's magical mod zone, so it'll basically be the same as FOMM. But if you start fresh and install everything through MO, you don't have to worry about "Oh no, I installed a texture mod and now everything is rainbows." Also, it doesn't matter whether you install stuff you downloaded manually or use the Nexus download links. If they have the original filenames, it can probably do the usual automated checking for updates either way.

Uncut is pretty light as I recall. World of Pain adds an extensive number of new locations but there's a story that's bad and full of broken english and, iirc, it adds unbalanced weapons.

I've been out of the modding game for a while and I've had to start from scratch. I'm using MO and I've tried to install NMC's texture pack but I think I'm doing something wrong because I'm sure only some of the textures are working. That's the new saloon sign but the default road textures, right? Those should be different? I've download the 3 parts of the large texture pack, installed them in order using the 'Merge' option when prompted and even tried extracting all three files and making a combined zip and installing that but it'd not working. It's at the bottom of my MO order and I've disabled all other texture mods. Am I missing something or just going crazy? At this point I'm thinking of just restarting again with FOMM because that was fine last time I played

Playing through this again after finally deciding I'm not going to save FO4 with mods. Here are the current quality of life mods to make this ancient game playable (excluding the ones that are already in the OP): JIP Improved Recipe Menu JIP Companions Command and Control FoV Slider Quick Trade Quickloot Immersive Minigames (this one is less quality of life because of old crusty UI and more just because we have all done the lockpicking/hacking minigame a billion times by now) Also the OP says that UIO supersedes OneHUD, but actually it's Unified HUD that it supersedes. OneHUD is still very much useful if you are using UIO as it contains a bunch of modified and customizable HUD elements.
