Download the instant hacking portion of this mod (all 3 parts are separate), it'll make only one word pop up in the terminal and it'll always be the right one; you still need the required science level to initiate the hack so it's not explicitly a cheat mod. That said, terminal hacking is fun.

I don't mind the execution of the Hacking minigame, but the fail state where it permanently locks you out of trying again was a terrible idea. And I'm not shelling out one of my perks just to have a second chance. I know you can technically get around this by exiting the minigame after three tries, but that's also frustrating. Just let us replay the minigame!

Personally, I've been a fan of Real-Time Entry Skills. In a nutshell, the mod makes it so that you can press and hold a key (default "grab") to hack and lockpick in real-time without dealing with mini-games. You can also attempt to hack and lockpick objects that are above your skill (to an extent--you still can't hack or lockpick if your skill is, say, 30, and the target is 75). Failures don't lock you out of additional attempts, but they can raise the difficulty of the target by one tier. The simple fact that it is all done in real-time makes it especially tense, since you need to be quick to break into things without getting caught by a roving patrol or whatever. Plus, the mod doesn't prevent you from playing the mini-game if you want to still do that on occasion.

Not sure what Agents meant, but New Vegas Stutter Remover should work fine with TTW. You might have more luck at getting a diagnose over at the TTW forums.

For some reason I can't get onto the TTW forum. No matter what username/email I use I get told it's been blacklisted.

Which is strange because I've never registered there before and have no idea why.

I even tried registering a completely new email and trying a username that hasn't existed before (or at least google has no records) and it STILL claims to be blacklisted.

Unfortunately they have no way that I can see to contact their admins without a forum account so I can't ask them wtf is going on.

I've got a weird issue with ENB for NV, I'm using version 263 with the Enhanced Shaders preset. Basically, there's there's lines of like a pixel-offset on some objects and stuff, it's hard to see in screenshots but when you're moving around, it looks sort of like objects are being rendered in a bunch of long vertical windows that are slightly misaligned. It's really hard to describe, but if you've seen it you'd probably know what I'm talking about. I checked to make sure in-game MSAA and everything was disabled, and I've toggled all the available ENB options that I can in-game, the only way to get rid of it is turning off ENB all together. Anyone know a fix?

Have you made sure AA isn't on by default in Catalyst or the nVidia equivalent, or in the launcher? Or morphological filtering for that matter? Have you changed anything in the .ini?

ENB for FNV is jankity and Boris won't work on it anymore. I've had the same issue. I had it go away by switching to an earlier version of ENB.

nVidia, and yeah. I don't know what morphological filtering is but I haven't turned it on ever so there's that. I've messed with non-graphics .ini settings, and checked those for MSAA/AF settings.

Well that's annoying. Oh well, Fellout alone is a big improvement to the visuals, so I can live without SSAO.

What options are out there for complete overhauls like Sperg & Skyre for Skyrim? I found After War Nevada & like the mod a lot but the game seems to crash at least once an hour when using the mod. I know of Project Nevada but when I last tried it about a year ago it felt like it made the game much easier.

Are there any other complete overhaul type mods out there besides these two?

I don't think it could be considered a complete overhaul on that level (it doesn't add a bunch of new perks or items) but the JSawyer mod is pretty popular, check the OP for download link. It's a rebalance mod made by the game's own director, and a pretty comprehensive list of what it changes is here. Notable changes include:

Lower Player Health And Carry Capacity
Hardcore Needs Build Up Twice As Fast
Max Level Cap Of 35 With Lower Experience Gain
Stimpaks Now Have Weight
Stimpaks Found In Loot Containers Have An 80% Chance To Be Worthless "Expired" Stimpaks
Heavy Armour Given DR As Well As DT
Huge Karma Overhaul
All Soda And Alcohol Items Now Decrease Thirst
A Bunch Of Cut Fallout 3 Armors Added To Cliff Briscoe's Store For Some Reason?

Expired Stimpacks aren't worthless they just aren't as ridiculously powerful as the normal ones so they are balanced around you having a few on hand at once as opposed to trivialising every fight.

Project Nevada definitely makes the game harder. You get crippled easier, you have way less health and food doesn't heal you. Though you can tweak all that in the MCM.

As others have said, my go to overhaul(s) are:

- Project Nevada (Core and Equipment ONLY) with Extra Options (Cyberware if you're feeling spicy/Deus Ex)
- Realistic Reloading (stops auto reload, makes combat a ton of fun if you're not using VATS all the time.)
- Cirosan's Classic Overhaul, pretty much everything (keeping jsawyer.esp values with the compatibility token)
- JSawyer.esp
- Weapon Mods Expanded (WMX) - for awesome melee/weapon upgrades
- Puce Moose Tweaks - Responsive Kill Reactions - for slightly "smarter" AI

Part of it may be the inclusion of bullet time. It removes a lot of the RPG skill from a successful hit in favor of your own personal skill, but slows everything down to make precise called shots much easier. You can downright quick-draw without VATS by using it.

And for those of us, like me, with lovely reflexes, it doesn't make the game any easier. :)

I never got why Rolling around with a bunch of dudes wasn't cannon in Fallout, I mean I know you had to do it with mods, but I always felt like it made a ton more sense if you assumed that the PC was rolling with a crew. The crazy poo poo they pull off makes a lot more sense then.

I was digging through the comments section of Weapons of the New Millenia and someone who was working on bug fixes with Naky said:

quote:

Whoever the dumbsack who made the leveled lists is, added weapons with no supermutant animations to the supermutant weapon leveled lists, and on top of that, they forgot to add entries to Supermutant Weapons

so the LL will irrepairably and irreversibly ruin your game

just a heads up

this is why you don't leave this s*** to scripting

Do you just crash when a supermutant spawns with one of the guns, or what?

someone (naky) forgot to put in the weapons he added to supermutants spawn lists in the supermutant wieldable weapons list and since it's a script you can't just patch the formlists with an esp and call it a day because when a script modifies formlists those formlists are locked to the save file and you have to essentially start over

I love this engine

so instead I made a version that doesn't use scripts that has yet to see public release due to all the remaining work being on millenia and co's end

Is there any simple way to get project nevada rebalance and JSawyer to work together? I only really care about the rebalance part for its ability to disable sleep, hunger and thrist plus perk at every level if I screwed up my build somehow.

load jsawyer after the project nevada stuff. which i think it does by default anyways.

The PN Rebalance module conflicts with JSawyer. Loading JSawyer after PN won't help, since PN updates the gamesettings via a script. So if you open up PN's MCM at any point, it will override JSawyer.
If you want to use the PN Rebalance module with JSawyer's tweaks, you can try these settings in PN Rebalance's MCM:

Hitpoints endurance multiplier: 10
Hitpoints level multiplier: 5
Carryweight base: 50
Carryweight strenght multiplier: 25

Max level: 35
JSawyer tweaks the XP gain via a gamesetting, while PN Rebalance does so via a hidden perk. Set PN Rebalance's XP gain profile to that of the vanilla game and JSawyer's tweak will work fine.

Hunger increase: 230 (actually 230.4 but that slider in PN's MCM wasn't setup to allow decimals)
Hunger rate: 12.5
Thirst increase: 576
Thirst rate: 5
Sleep increase: 160
Sleep rate: 18
Survival based rates disabled.
Food healing enabled. (JSawyer is balanced around food being able to heal you, since stimpacks were made to be more scarce)

Food lootlist 25: 5
Food lootlist 50: 10
Food lootlist 75: 20
Food lootlist 100: 100

If you want to make JSawyer & PN Rebalance completely compatible you will need to do some minor FNVEdit work since both touch several ingestible entries and PN Rebalance edits more food leveled lists. It's not necesary if you don't feel like doing that though:
You can let JSawyer override PN Rebalance's ingestible entries. The only real issue will be that some food will have a "Fresh" or "Raw" tag and others don't.
Since PN Rebalance edits more food leveled lists, adding JSawyer's Chance None values to all those lists can result in food becomming a bit more scarce then Ropekid intended. There should still be enough food though and you can always increase the Food lootlist values in PN's MCM.
