Any mods that clean up houses? I'd like to see a mod that shows the tenants actually cleaning up after 200 years. Plus I imagine it would increase performance.

How does Fallout Character Overhaul compare to, say, Fallout Redesigned? I loved that mot but I remember it being a bitch to properly set up.

It's just a simple fomod set up. No need to start a new game or anything. Plus as others have said it looks good when in motion. Except for a few exceptions.

Go to the Red Rock Drug Lab to see the main one...

So I might be better off sticking with Redesigned then? It was quite comprehensive. I've been looking through the Character Overhaul dude's other stuff. Men of the Wasteland looks really good.

You'll have to install a separate instance of MO specifically for New Vegas.

I see. Ive been having a ton of problems lately with NMM and New Vegas. Namely that pressing Download With Manager does jack poo poo. Will using MO affect the way some mods work? Like mods that come with their own installers, will they have compatibility troubles?

You mean FOMOD scripted installers? Download the NCC file on Mod Organizer's page and follow the instructions on where to put it, and that'll allow those installers to run through Mod Organizer.

I'll do that when the Nexus downloads stop making GBS threads the bed. You'd think for such a large hosting site they could afford some better servers that don't crap out every two days.

I can respect that. It takes a strong person to understand when the fault lies with them, and I appreciate his honesty. Sometimes, you just need to get away from your hobbies and try new things. I certainly have more respect for someone who addresses their own faults, than someone who is convinced that others are in the wrong for their shortcomings *Arthmoor*

I beat New Vegas when it first came out and shelved it. I have not played it since. I grabbed the expansions on a steam sale. For the Elder Scrolls I would once spend hours configuring and installing mods.... my tolerance for that is now non existent.

I read the OP.

What are the mods I should really grab, which I don't need to spend hours configuring and installing?

Look up the series New Vegas Mod Clinic, and Modding New Vegas on Youtube. They're a series of how-to videos by Gopher, the modder behind Imaginator and other good visual tweaking mods.

So Mod downloading question: I can download manually, but anytime I try to use a Mod Manager, I get errors from the Nexus site. I've heard rumors that this has to do with my browser. I'm using Firefox, and always get errors. Can somebody who uses Firefox as well confirm this?

Okay. I tried using Mod Organizer once at the same time I had NMM installed, and I did something wrong, and ever since, NMM has never worked for me. If I can skip both and just use FOMM that's great.

How do you rearrange the ESMs in FnvEdit? Dead Money keeps loading before the New Vegas ESM and its preventing me from doing any cleaning.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:

The order that your mods are in when you load up FOMM is the order that your mods are in when you load them up in FNVEdit (or should be). To test this, I just opened up FOMM, moved STUN.esm--which was the last .esm to load in my loadout--to the very beginning of the load order (before even FalloutNV.esm), exited, and then loaded up FNVEdit. STUN.esm was at the top of the list, reflecting the change I made in FOMM.

Cool, thanks.

I've got my basic setup for my modded game. My load order looks like this after all the DLC esms:

YUP - Base Game + All DLC.esm
oHUD.esm
Project Nevada Core esm
Project Nevada Cyberware esp
Project Nevada Equipment esm
Project nevada rebalance esp
FCOMaster esm
BetterGame PerformanceV3 esp
YUP NPC fixes esp
Darnified UINV esp
Mod Configuration Menu esp
Weapon Mod Menu esp

WMX DLC esp
WMX POP esp
WMX Arenovalis Textures esp
Project Nevada WMX esp
Project Nevada Dead Money esp
Project Nevada Old World Blues (no cyberware)esp
Project Nevada Honest HEarts esp
Project NEvada Lonesome Road esp
Project NEvada Gun Runners Arsenal esp
FCO Glowing One esp

I'm thinking of putting Nevada Skies and Electro City next.

Are the body mods worth checking out? Most of the new outfits are made for Type 3 woman and Roberts for men, but I don't know if I'd like all the clipping with none type 3 clothings.

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!

Is there a way to use both the Fallout Character Overhaul custom races as well as New Vegas Redesigned 3? Redesigned 3 says that it needs FCO to work, but then it says to disable the FCO esm and esps. I've got a character using FCO's custom Courier race, but I've got a feeling that if I disable the FCO esm I'm going to get a crash.

Okay, so I went to the fco mod page, and there's an optional file that just has the custom races. It also says to disable the fco esm after activating the esp, so it uses the textures but doesn't apply them to the rest of the world. I'm aware of new vegas redesigned's creepy rape and murder textures, and I don't know why dracomies removed an option to stick without them. I'm also not a fan of his cass redesign, she's supposed to be 38 years old not a supermodel. But I also found I really don't like FCOs take on Boone looking like a veiny throbbing dick. Between the three, nvr has you put up with some questionable stuff but its still better than nothing. If only dracomies had gone similar to nvr 2 where he had multiple options and no rape faces

Honestly I'd be all over a mod that just cleaned up the vanilla faces and got rid of some of the weird coloring choices. Like what nvr used to be before the guy decided to carve the word whore into an npc's back.

I like fco's texures for the custom races, but I don't really like the npc changes. Some of nvr's faces I do quite like, but then I have to put up with all the drat feature creep. I don't know which one is better I just would like something that looks nicer without turning everyone into glamor models

That sounds like Spice of Life. Too bad it only works with Roberts and the Type 3 body. The clothes are really great in that mod and it's the only reason I'm using the body replacers. The Rayban shades go nice with my character.

A World of Pain would have been fine if it was like the New Vegas Interiors project and just added new locations to existing places. Instead, there are fifty different dungeons that are all connected, stand out like sore thumbs where the assets were dumped onto the Wasteland, or are THE loving UNDERGROUND WHO THE gently caress THOUGHT THAT A RAT WARREN ACROSS THE ENTIRE MOJAVE WAS A GOOD loving IDEA.

The best thing about Project Nevada is that it let me set the progression rate. I always ended up reaching my level cap too early and the game lost a lot of fun after that. By slashing progression to 50% speed, I've done a load of stuff and I only just reached level 14.

I've got NVSE, CASM, the NVAC/Stutter Remover, and all required mods for that. Was also thinking of getting the Project Nevada mod and Nevada Skies mods.

Were there any other must-have mods for starting out?

The SafeShowRaceMenu mod is a must for me, because I'm always tweaking my character's appearance. It lets you do this without resetting some of your perks, which unfortunately happens when you use ShowRaceMenu normally.

Does anyone know what sort of bug might be causing female models in the game to have this weird splotchy black texture overlay on them? Their faces are fine, but arms and legs are all black. I have a feeling it might be a memory issue, but I thought I'd ask. I'm using the Type 3 body replacer.

Check to make sure you have a type 3 texture to go along with the body mesh. The Vanilla body textures have black underwear painted on, but since the vanilla texture doesn't line up with the type 3 model, it ends up looking weird.

I downloaded the full replacer, both the body and armors in one file. It doesn't always happen, only after extended playthroughs when things start to chug a bit, which is why I think it might be memory related.

Yep, first thing I did. I've narrowed it down to Fallout Redesigned 2 not playing too nice with FCO. I'm using the No NPC Edits for FCO but it seems to be messing with the redesigned mod. But it still only shows up after extended playthroughs, so it's not a deal breaker.

Use User Interface Organizer. It needs NVSE but it smooths out pretty much any UI mod so it doesn't lead to gently caress ups.

Did you use the Showracemenu to change appearance and stuff? Because that can gently caress up perks irreversibly on a playthrough.

Perhaps there are still Horses, but they're restricted in movement to the middle states. Maybe in Wyoming or the Dakotas the horses run free...

Or maybe I'm projecting my desirable outcome for the Great Khans with the ending where they leave the Mojave and carve out a kingdom in Wyoming. Khans riding mutant horses across the flatlands!
