chitoryu12 posted:Project Nevada is good as a general overhaul. It adds stuff like sprinting and bullet time that use AP and lets you tweak a bunch of stuff like perks, XP gain, and random loot to adjust the difficulty. The modules add things like cybernetic upgrades hidden around the Mojave and the weapons from Fallout 3. Oh also, get CASM to avoid broken save files.

So if I installed PN core and later decided I wanted the cybernetic module too, could I simply reinstall PN without my save freaking out about missing esps or breaking the scripting?

I've had to reinstall PN a couple of times after installing HUD mods, so it shouldn't be an issue. Oh, yeah, by the way, get UIO after installing any and all HUD mods. It saves a lot of headache time.

Kumaton posted:I've had to reinstall PN a couple of times after installing HUD mods, so it shouldn't be an issue. Thanks, and yeah, UIO is basically required these days IMO. I ended up giving Autumn Leaves a shot and it's actually pretty great. It's got a nice atmosphere, soothing music, interesting NPCs, a tone that doesn't clash with the rest of the game, and some fun quests. Unfortunately, I ended up uninstalling it in my most recent mod reconfigure. I kept getting the bugged dialogue and I'm pretty sure at one point I got caught in a recursive quest loop that wouldn't let me advance. It's a shame, I especially liked how you could define your character's motivations through dialogue. If the author could hammer out the kinks, I'd probably make it a must-have in future playthroughs.

Just so we're clear because the NVSE instructions were not: running NVSE once allows it to activate automatically using the normal Steam client, right? Or did I misread it?

I suck at console syntax. For all load order questions, I normally recommend LOOT. But since you've only got the two mods, I'd put the performance one last. The NVAC mod is pretty compatible.

I'm actually against using LOOT because it seems determined to mess up my load order. Playing with Eve, wmx, project Nevada equipment, and wrp textures is a nightmare to get working properly, even with the fear and loathing guide. I had to go into fnv edit and find out specifically which mods were overwriting each other and then rearrange them to get the most compatibility, and even then I think a couple of eve textures failed to work.

So I've just started playing now after finally getting the DLCs in the steam summer sale. I've installed a few mods but I would like to know if any of you goons have suggestions for certain types of mods. One is for weather mods, I would like to use one but I don't really like the super dark nights that seem to come with them. In Fallout 3 I used Wasteland Mood series which gave me really nice days and clear nights. Is there anything similar for NV? The other is really silly weapons. Like ridiculously lorebreakingly silly. The one I played with in 3 had things like a railroad rifle that left railways sticking out of things, teddy bears that gave you eye lasers and crotch cannons, giant fish as melee weapons, etc. Sadly the one modder that did those things for 3 has only made a few companion mods for NV, like Old Snake or a talking dog that apparently can bark lasers or something, which isn't quite what I'm looking for.

I don't know much about the weather, but I can tell you about weird weapons. http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/38928/ A way of using misc items, like rakes, butter knives, and welding guns as weapons. Added to leveled lists. http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/37002/ It adds all the classic Fallout weapons into New Vegas. Added to leveled lists. http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/40000/ AG Supplementary Uniques, a whole bunch of uniquely designed weapons hand-added into the Wasteland. http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/44439/ A unique plasma pistol, modelled after the Mauser C96.

The paid Skyrim mod fiasco resulted in a load of people putting "Forever Free" badges on their mods, and the Nexus will occasionally ask you to consider donating to a mod's author before downloading now. A big overhaul called DUST came out and inspired a few more ultra-hardcore gameplay mods. There was a quest mod called Autumn Leaves which was well received. The Fallout Mod Manager now makes mods show up a different colour when it detects a load order issue.

I don't suppose anybody else has made the move from using NVEC (New Vegas Enhanced Content) to something more up-to-date, like the Fear & Loathing In New Vegas guide? I'm looking at doing this and am curious if there's a whole ton of stuff NVEC covered that is missing from the end result of F&L or if it's, you know, well worth the change.

I decided to use the Roboco Certified mod, since it seemed really cool. It has since put me into a nasty situation. The Cyberus, one of the things I really wanted to use, because gently caress it, its a three headed heavily armed and armored cyberdog, causes constant crashes to desktop with its attacks. As in every ranged attack I've seen, and possibly on melee too. Also, it and a Lobotomite I made have apparently taken offence to a certain NPC in Novac, where I left them when I was adventuring. This NPC is quest critical for a quest I really want to do. So I'm just going to disable the mod, as that seems to be the easiest way to go about things.

So in lieu of playing the dozens of other games I have, I decided to reinstall New Vegas.  The last two times I played through NV, I sided with the NCR, so I wanted to try going with Caesar's Legion for a change. Someone said that it was worth installing mods to add in some more Legion content, since the vanilla game is somewhat lacking when it comes to Legion content. I also thought about going with a melee character, but I'm hesitant. It's always been my (probably narrow-minded) perspective that melee-only characters wouldn't really fare that well, since human enemies with guns can blast you down before you can get close to them, and deathclaws and cazadores aren't type you want to go toe-to-toe with. It's something that doesn't really appeal to me, but I'd like to give it a try. I thought about trying the Bounties mod (at least first two, since it sounds like the third one is pretty bad). Project Nevada seems interesting for the sprint feature, and I want to install Quickloot for sure. Autumn Leaves sound interesting, but I don't think it's suited for the character I listed above.Other than that, though, I'm not sure what else to install. I got a faster computer since I last played through the game, so I guess I could try one the graphical enhancement mods and it wouldn't cause too much trouble.

Project Nevada is the de-facto essential mod for FONV. Definitely use that. Melee characters really aren't that disadvantaged in FONV, either, for once. Unarmed and Melee are both on roughly equal footing, too, so you have a choice in which you wanna use.

Guns just use ammunition, which is expensive. Punching someone in the face is free. They're also superior for a stealth run, since even the shotgun power fist and the fire sword are silent.

So I installed Mod Organizer, and I'm having more trouble getting it setup than I expected. I got NVAC and the Someguy Series thing for the Bounties mod. However, I ended up with item in the list marked as 'Overwrite', and all the Non-Mod Organizer iterms are marked as 'Unmanaged'. Is that normal or did I screw something up? Also, regarding NVSE, do I need to coordinate that with Mod Organizer? I haven't installed it yet, and I'm wondering if I can install it with MO.

If your Overwrite item on your list isn't marked as red, then it shouldn't be anything you need to worry about. Same with anything marked 'Unmanaged'. It simply means it's a mod that wasn't installed by Mod Organizer, or by putting it in the root NV folder. And, yes, you do need to configure NVSE with Mod Organizer, but all it entails is finding the NVSE .exe using MO's executive manager and filling in one or two boxes. You should then be able to launch your game through NVSE from the main window by clicking the down arrow on your 'Launch Game' box and selecting the NVSE item.

It simply means it's a mod that wasn't installed by Mod Organizer, or by putting it in the root NV folder. Well, I got NVSE setup with MO, and so far, everything looks pretty good. I had my old save games left over, so I played part of the Bounties I mod, and it seems like NVAC is working, because I don't get the crash when I quit. However, setting up mods is still confusing. For example, I tried to install the Better Binoculars mod, but I don't know how to select or sort the data folders so that everything works. As far as the other mods I thought about installing, I was going to install MCM and CASM, though with CASM, I don't know if I should delete all my old save games first. I thought about trying one of the graphical enhancement mods, but I don't know which one is really preferred or recommended. I'm familiar with Imaginator from Gopher's videos, but that's about it.

For example, I tried to install the Better Binoculars mod, but I don't know how to select or sort the data folders so that everything works. If you get an error message that you data folders aren't on top when you're about to install a mod, you just have to click-n-drag the files it shows in the window up to the big ">data" header at the top. Ideally, if it shows a folder called "Data" under that, you'll just open up the folder in the window and drag all of it's contents, such as Meshes, Textures, and Sounds files, along with any .esms and .esps to the ">data" folder. It's a bit more work than installing a mod with FOMM, for example, but unlike FOMM, you don't get false positives where a mod says it's installed but it actually moved everything into a Data folder inside F: NV's Data folder. CASM doesn't require you to delete your old save files. Be sure to set your max save games or your save frequency low enough so you don't get a lot of saves that take up space, though. As for visual mods, it really depends on preference. Imaginator is an excellent choice for low-end machines, but ENB goes a few steps beyond, though it is taxing if you're not using a current computer. ENB presets are generally a crapshoot, though, as they can do stuff like make nights almost completely black or make your DOF low enough that your own gun in your hand gets super-blurry. Be sure to find a good preset that fits what you're looking to get out of the game, install everything correctly by following the instructions in the second post of this thread, and be willing to mess around with stuff and settings in the in-game editor to make everything right for you.

Max Wilco posted:You've got a point there. Already been stated, but don't worry about the Overwrite folder, it's always going to fill up with .ini files auto-genned by NVSE files. You can either move them to the FONV base data folder, a new MO-managed mod, or not care about 'em. All 3 of those methods function the same.  Unmanaged mods are your poo poo installed in the FONV base data folder, basically should just be FONV and your DLC. Just put 'em at the top of the list so they're overridden by mods.Also, I would like to recommend an ENB and weather setup: http://www.moddb.com/mods/urwlnv-ultimate-edition-v20

Either it applies the extra zoom without the binocular shape, or it flat out doesn't work. If I can't get it work, that's fine. I'm just worried I'll run into the problem again with something else.

Yeah, I unpacked the mod and took a look at the readme file, and it turns out you're supposed to alter the .ini file. quote:1. Copy the contents of the included Data folder to your New Vegas Data folder. If you are using the steam version, you can find you data folder at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas\Data" or a similar location. The reason why there are two different data directories is because 'Binocular Shape' is a separate version that lets you retain the cutout shape from the zoom. quote:To get a more cartoonish binocular shape, use the contents of the "Binocular Shape" folder instead of the regular Data folder. I wiped down the lens as best I could with an old rag I found. Delete the binocular.dds file in your "fallout new vegas\Data\Textures\Weapons\Scope" folder to return the lenses to their previously dirty state. I added the line to all three .ini files, but it did no good, so I think I'm going to give up on it.
