I've run into a problem that I hope someone knows how to fix. I installed Darnified UI but when I go to the main menu during play (with the MCM listed in it) I receive this notification: "DarnifiedUI detected in HUD but not start menu. Need to repair Darnified UI or remove it completely for the MCM menu to appear correctly." I've been able to use MCM for two mods just fine but Darnified isn't in it, so I am trying to figure out what I did wrong. I looked at a couple of posts and saw the idea to install UIO http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/57174/, which I did, with FOMM. Still have the same problem.

Here is my mod load order:
FalloutNV.esm
TribalPack.esm
MercenaryPack.esm
ClassicPack.esm
CaravanPack.esm
DeadMoney.esm
HonestHearts.esm
OldWorldBlues.esm
LonesomeRoad.esm
GunRunnersArsenal.esm
Detect Traps.esm
The New Bison Steve Hotel.esm
Afterschool Special.esm
The Mod Configuration Menu.esp
The Weapon Mod Menu.esp
DarNifiedUINV.esp
MoreMerchantCaps.esp
Detect Traps - Traponator 4000.esp
Detect Traps - Perk.esp
Detect Traps - DLC.esp
PerkEveryLevel.esp
MojaveExtended100.esp
CONELRAD 640-1240.esp
Sunglasses Shipment.esp
SPECIALer_DLC03.esp
NVCE Main.esp
NVCE Main - Companions.esp
NVCE DLC01.esp
NVCE DLC02.esp
NVCE DLC03.esp
NVCE DLC04.esp
EVE FNV - NO DLC.esp
PipBoyLightx1.5.esp
Unified Backpack Mod.esp
ProjectRealityMkIv5HDR.esp

Total active plugins: 35
Total plugins: 36

Any help would be appreciated! My fonts and stuff are done properly, and it looks just like it did in Fallout 3, except I can't choose to display other properties and it not being in the MCM menu.

Yeah, that's the one I'm using. I'll try your recommendation later and see if it changes anything.

I've had the yearly urge to play some FNV, and this year I thought I ended up with a particularly nice graphical setup thanks to someone in this thread getting me onto the ENB + SweetFX combination. It's very pretty and very smooth, totally loving it. This guide assumes your computer is reasonably modern (~2 years), but there are fairly obvious ways to improve/reduce quality using this as a baseline. If no link is provided, it's on page 1.


(JPEG artifacts kind of ruin it, but the BMP was like 8mb.)

Basics
You're going to need the basics (FOMM, LOOT, NVSE/FNV4GB, NVAC, Better Game Performance, NV Stutter Remover, NV Configator) before you do anything else. Install these in any 'order', it should be straight forward.

Use the standard launcher Options to configure the initial settings. Open NV Configator, go to Performance. Set grass fade (4000), Object fade (7), item fade (3), everything else maximum. Turn every threading/multithreading option on.

Graphics (Optional, but get at least a variant of these)
You're going to need NMC's Texture Packs (Medium), Weapons Retexture Project, EVE, IMPACT, Vurt's Wasteland Flora Overhaul, Beauty Pack Plus + Waster Overhaul, Nevada Skies and Improved LOD Meshes/Noise. Install in that order by following each mod's install instructions, and overwrite when in doubt.

Shaders
You're going to need ENBSeries, Enhanced Shaders (Nevada Skies edition) and SweetFX.

Extract the ENBSeries Wrapper dir to your Fallout base dir. Make sure to follow Enhanced Shaders' extensive install instructions and modify according to your needs. If you don't follow those instructions, the vanilla and replacement graphics will conflict.

Also extract SweetFX to your base dir, and download one of the popular settings from the SweetFX DB (don't even look at any of the "Toon" ones). Open your enblocal.ini and replace the [PROXY] section with the following:
code:
[PROXY]
EnableProxyLibrary=true
InitProxyFunctions=true
ProxyLibrary=sweetFX_d3d9.dll
Interface
Follow the install guide for One HUD (oHUD) and get the relevant mods. I recommend Darnified UI.

Finishing touches
At this point, you'll want to copy your base dir files (not folders) into /exes/. Also copy /enbseries/, /SweetFX/ and /Data/shaders/. This will let you use NVSE with the 4GB workaround and ENB/SFX.

In FOMM, open Settings and point the custom launch command at \fallout new vegas\exes\fnv4gb.exe. You can and should fine-tune the shader settings for your monitor from ingame with Shift + Enter, though it's a bit clunky to use. The main points are to fiddle with day/night/ambient light intensity and curves. I like my days to be colorful, and nights and interiors to be proper dark, with strong ambient lights plus flashlight and nightvision mods, but it's easy to tweak either way.

Hopefully, I'll remember I wrote this next year.

Alright so after like 2 years I want to finish up the DLC/Engame in new vegas.

Last FONV patch was in 2011, so if it worked two years ago, it should work now. Most or all of those have been updated since, though.

All I did was download Western Skies and the texture mods from the OP and it prettifies the game a lot. I got bored of seeing the same clouds in Western Skies so I started using Realistic Wasteland Lighting instead recently. Installing a mod is pretty much a case of downloading the mod file and putting it in your New Vegas folder, then ticking the box in the mod manager. It's so simple even I haven't broken my game with mods yet.

Okay, I tested it and you were right with this mod. I've removed it and I can use the (Hand-Load) ammo again. Do I really have to install UIO for JIP?

UIO is extremely helpful, even if you just use Darnified UI and no other UI mods it saves you having to make config file changes (ie. totally clean, unmodded NV install and inis with Mod Organizer).

Allied Assault? Or Pacific Assault (same as Rising Sun)? I can whip it up for you really quick. It'll also replace the Hunting Rifle's firing effects - same sound. I can add in the B.A.R. in too for bonus sound, that's a separate file.

Here you go.

There are two versions:

1.) The original Allied Assault version.

2.) The remastered version from Pacific Assault.

Both have the same 3d fire sound (AA didn't use that stuff) and reload sounds. Installation info is included.

Can anyone say some words on bashed vs merged patches? In my last spout of FNV modding I exclusively used bashed patches as I have been using them since Oblivion when they were necessary, but everyone seems to use merged patches for FNV as a de facto choice. I can handle myself making bashed patches, but it'd almost be nice not having to gently caress around getting Wrye and all the associated python dependencies if there is no benefit over just getting FNVEdit.

I use FNVEdit and it works and has near-zero bullshit. Can't say if bashing a patch is any better because I've never bothered to try!

so that's basically an endorsement for FNVEdit.

You sort of can kinda. If you do untie him at the Fort he'll make a break for it and if you have a) already killed every single Legionary there as you should do on every playthrough or b) sprinted ahead of him at mach speed to chew bullets while he runs, he will get on the boat and leave once he makes it there. Unfortunately he despawns from the game world afterward so you cannot let bygones be bygones and run around with retro-future Chandler but boy that would've been cool.

Most people know about it by now but the intention was that if you DID let Benny go at the Fort and help him fight his way out... a few ingame days later he would ambush you Legion troop style, alone, and desperately demand you give him back the chip and you'd have one final duel. It was cut from the main game for some unknown reason but man that dude's got tenacity, I swear.
