I want to make a mod where a trader comes to Freeside carrying vintage Elvis holotapes, sparking off a huge gang war between the Kings and junkies who stole the holotapes.

More like sparking off a huge war between you IRL and whoever owns Elvis's catalogue of recordings.

Not like I'd ever post it on the nexus. Keep it hidden from major sites.

Did anyone ever look into making NPCs react negatively to you grabbing owned items? Being able to steal anything you want by picking it up and hauling it into the bathroom with you first is a pretty big exploit so I'm guessing someone would've already done it if it was possible.

I think so, but I never use it because I have a desperate need to rob the Van Graffs of everything they own.

There is nothing tougher than a tough Mexican, just as there is nothing gentler than a gentle Mexican, nothing more honest than an honest Mexican, and above all nothing sadder than a sad Mexican. -R. Chandler.
I'm having an odd problem when using the Light Machine Gun. My character can hip fire it without problems but when I right click to aim and fire, the character bends at the hips and fires downward, even when using VATS. Kind of a downer since I wanted to do a heavy weapons SCP themed playthrough.

I'm using several mods but none of them modify meshes or weapon animations. The character has 100 in Guns and ST 8.

Does anyone have any idea what this could be? There is a mp4 of the problem in the link below if it helps any.

Do you use any animation replacers? If yes, remove them and see if that solves it.

Or just overwrite/reinstall them, because yep that's definitely an animation bug. I had who even knows as an anim setup last time, reinstalled WAR clean on top of everything, fixed it right up. Of course if you don't' use WAR, uh, install whatever you do use :v:

Anyone got any recommendations for standalone medium/heavy armor mods? I'm sure everyone knows what the armor selection is on the Nexus and it's a slog going through boobplate after boobplate.

Wasteland Soldier armor is a pretty good kitbash. Wasteland Engineer armor is good as well, as is Graham's armor.

Raygereio and Psion you guys hit it right in the head.

I think what happened is that I probably forgot to delete the New Vegas folder after I deleted it and reinstalled it. Probably a rogue folder remained. I wasn't using WAR but I built the fomod from the instructions in the forum and now my character no longer looks like a sketch from Monty Python when firing the LMG.

Any suggestion for more realistic textures for people? Not interested in nude textures but the play doh-toned skins really piss me off. Particularly the legs. The skin looks like someone outlined a leg and then filled in the area in a shade of beige in Paint.

Anyone have any experience with how well New Vegas Uncut - Freeside Open and New Vegas Restoration - NVR play together? On first glance they seem to load fine, looks like the only thing they have in common is modifying the immediate area around the gate to the strip, but these things can be so finicky that I wouldn't be surprised to find out that just that was enough for NVR to break half the quests that Freeside Uncut restores or something.

There's a Type 3 armor replacer that adds Type 3 without any nudity, and I think Roberts comes with non-nudity standard. For faces, Fallout Character Overhaul modifies every face in the base game with mostly original sculpts, along with more human-like faces for player characters. The jury's out on whether they look good or not, so it's worth going through the gallery and see if you like them or not.

Probably not well. Also the best "most updated" version of Uncut is here:

Freeside open plays better with strip open than nvr, but using fso is always a risk because of how many quests and mods funnel through freeside.

Are either Warzones and Increased Wasteland Spawns worth playing with and are they stable? I'm looking for something that can provide dynamic conflict between factions without major stability issues. Like Immersive Patrols for Skyrim, but for New Vegas. I've been playing with rePOPULATED WASTELAND, but I uninstalled it since it only gives unrepeatable scripted battles at pre-determined locations. Once I've triggered most or all of them all I suppose there's little reason to keep it in my load order.

Spent a completely ridiculous amount of time working and playtesting to reach my ideal Skyrim load order, then decided to just switch back to New Vegas since it actually has decent combat mechanics and I miss guns.

I think both of them did bad things to my game eventually (obviously not in the same playthrough), my vote is don't use them.

What's up, ex-Skyrim buddy? :hfive:

IWS is pretty stable. I've been running since around May on various saves and mod loadouts and it hasn't messed around with my saves. Just prepare to get your poo poo kicked in on lower levels, especially on the road to Nipton/Novac. It adds a ridiculous amount of Vipers.

I haven't messed around with Warzones for a while, but IIRC it's pretty stable as long as you have a higher-end PC. It adds a ton of men fighting men so there's going to be a fair amount of lag without one.

Worth noting that if you're running TTW, there is a MMM conversion (with MCM support!) as well as a patch that brings MMM features into New Vegas.

I almost exclusively run with TTW these days, even if I just pop over to DC just to shoot things. New Vegas is just so drat good.

Honestly the thing that consistently killed my interest kn TTW whenever I played it was that I had to play through FOR to get to the good stuff and that there's major bugs if you start in the Mojave.

Unrelated, but does anybody know of any mods that reduces or eliminates the "flinching when you get crippled/shot a bunch" mechanic? I'm getting tired of Jackals/Vipers/Convicts swarming me with SMGs when I'm low-level and getting stunlocked into oblivion.

So I've been fiddling around with making one of the backpack mods apply a couple penalties like a movespeed decrease while you wear it (I like the idea of having a reason to occasionally drop it), and after a sweaty, embarassingly-long amount of time I've managed to cobble something together, but in order to apply the speed increase that comes from dropping the bag I have to sneak in order to get the game to recalculate my new speed. Not like it's a big deal, but anyone know if there's a way to do that via GECK instead? Preferably a simple one because I have no real idea what I'm doing?

I recently had to reinstall everything on my computer and I lost my mods. Goddamnit. It's been a long time since I last played, anyway, so I might as well start fresh. My main goals are to make the game more interesting (but not necessarily more difficult) and probably make it look nicer.

I know I'll probably need FOMM and NVSE - and I'm going to get Project Nevada. Any recommendations? Am I making a dumb decision by picking FOMM over something like Mod Organizer?
