Going to do a fresh install of New Vegas. What mods should I use? Which mod organizer is the good one? Want to unfuck gunplay and add quests worth playing.

I already did Bounties 1 and 2.

With hard drives as big as they are today, why does anybody ever uninstall games?

I actually have it installed right now. I just want to uninstall then reinstall it to avoid mod conflicts ect.

Anything else?

Don't forget Project Nevada and WMX. Might as well try Disable Console and Disable Couriers Stash mods for challenge.
Fomm if you aren't plebian. Nexus is trash.

JSwayer mod is essential.

All you need is JSawyer, Fallout is a good game, doesn't need to be modded up the ass like Skyrim or Oblivion. JSawyer increases the difficulty and acts as a Director's Cut since it was made directly by the Josh Sawyer himself. It's a great mod and really makes the game more enjoyable on a lot of levels. JSawyer Ultimate Edition is the same file carried on by a fan, you may want to check it out as well because it has even more fine tuning (and support for other mods should you want them). If you go Ultimate Edition also get Gun Runner's Arsenal Merged and you'll have a perfect Director's Cut New Vegas (You could toss in Uncut wasteland or any of the mods on the New Vegas Ultimate page under recommended mods).

Things JSawyer changes
-Fixes armor by adding DR as well as DT allowing armor to scale for the later game
-Distributes pre-order packs throughout the wastes instead of handing it to the player
-increases difficulty of the world by making everything do more damage, makes battles quicker and more decisive with less bullet sponge shit
-changes to carry weight making it so you can only carry a reasonable amount
-changes to hardcore mode making the first level of negative effects from dehydration/sleep deprivation/hunger pushed back which makes the hunger system feel much more realistic and much less annoying
-carry weight on objects that didn't have carry weight
-tons more good shit

Oh, and it goes without saying to get YUP and UPP (though if you're gonna use the original JSawyer and not ultimate you can only use YUP and will need a patch for it), ALWAYS get fan compilation bugfixes for these games.

I used the Fear and Loathing STEP guide, it's a lot of work but delivers a great result. Stable too, my first crash was only after 14 hours straight.

Oh, and while I'm suggesting a light mod setup: Always get NVAC and NVSR, both will help you get a nice stable frame rate and no crashes. Also always tweak your ini to get rid of the fucking mouse acceleration, Fear and Loathing in New Vegas has the ini tweaks listed on their page.

You also might wanna consider modding the gunplay so it isn't dog shit. Stuff like adding select fire to certain guns, actual recoil and bullet physics.

increase difficulty
add weight to the weightless

..just turn on hardcore ffs

Why the fuck is this thread every 3 days for the last fucking 2 years.

Have them


Got the unofficial patches.

Can't be done. It's why I always quit playing.

Don't listen to anyone else OP. My autism has crafted a wonderful vanilla+ experience for New Vegas, and I'm willing to bestow my knowledge to you. This is a good 95% of my load order:

OBJECTIVELY REQUIRED

ESSENTIAL FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED OPTIONALS


Absolutely disgusting.


BLEED, JSawyer Ultimate, Precision Ballistics and Munitions, Manual Reload, and Improved Sound FX do the job pretty damn well.

Are JSawyer Ultimate and BLEED compatible?

Also, ignore all anons in this thread telling you to install Sawyer's mod. It doesn't actually increase the fun of the game, just makes it more tedious if anything.

Oh, and these are the tools you'll need to craft it yourself:

Follow this guide for the absolute basics if you really need to, but use Mator Smash in the way I describe below instead of making patches in xEdit and Wrye Bash: wiki.step-project.com/User:Essarrbee/FalloutNewVegas

As far as patching is concerned, you'll want to put this file into your "\Mator Smash\settings\FalloutNV" directory and use the "Automatic" setting - my.mixtape.moe/ghrelb.7z
Follow pic related for making patches with Smash, as it applies to New Vegas in exactly the same way.


Entirely. After a cursory scroll through xEdit I'm 100% sure the number of records they share is countable on one hand, if it's not even zero.


You know not the autism you will unleash if you spread your lies here.

Enemies run around like floaty rejects from wolfenstein3d. No real AI along with their shitty animations. I know it's a RPG but these things are too frustrating to deal with.

You're right in open fields, but in enclosed spaces they do alright. Install the mods I recommended you and try to clear out both floors of the Bison Steve in Primm alone without sneak-sniping everything - it's actually pretty damn difficult.

It's not a lie, I played it. It sounds really good on paper, such as cutting out way too easy to get stimpacks, and a whole bunch of other stuff reducing carry weight Etc. Spreading around the DLC extras around the map was a good choice, and I did like that a lot. But the biggest problem for me comes when the reduced weight means you can't carry more than two weapons and some armor. Walking all the way over to some place and you'll kill dozens of people but you can't actually keep any of the loot that they drop. I mean, you can say that it solves the problem of an easily broken economy, but I didn't like that by the time I was level 30 or so I only had a couple thousand caps, and I wasn't anywhere close to affording the Gun Runners Arsenal weapons. Getting fat loot from enemies as been a core part of the Fallout series since the originals, in Fallout 2 they even gave you a car so you could transport hundreds of weapons at at a time instead of dozens. Trying to be more realistic by saying that yes, a person can only realistically carry one or two weapons in a pack comma is good if you want to make some hardcore survival game, but it's just not very fun.

Hello MisterCaption.

PAY FOR THE MODS KIDDO

I will preface all of this with the statement that your experience is probably with the original JSawyer mod, while I'm talking about the latest (circa a month ago) version of JSawyer Ultimate, which is a version of the mod that's been updated and made cleaner and more compatible by a community member.

Lowered carry capacity is an optional setting in the MCM of JSawyer Ultimate.

Don't take 5 copies of the same weapon when you can repair them all into one; with 50 Repair you basically lose zero value, and with above that you can actually gain me. Furthermore, you're probably carrying 30 stimpaks, 15 of each chem, 8 doctor's bags, 5 stealth boys, and 12 repair kits that you're never going to use all of in one trip. Try taking only what you need, as you actually would.

Nigger what? How the fuck do you not have a thousand caps by the time you've finished up in Primm let alone hit level 30?

Is Deus Ex Weapon Spread worth using?


Are there any mods that make stealth less stupid?

Not that I know of, but that's because I haven't looked.

I just don't use stealth in Bethsoft games beyond setting up an ambush and then going loud, because otherwise there's no challenge whatsoever and the immersion hits rock bottom thanks to the god-awful AI.

For those interested, here's a list of all the mods I use. It's essentially what's listed in , but with some extras.

pastebin.com/pQeQSRRx

Oh, any advice for doing the GRA challenge achievements on a NCR playthrough? I normally wouldn't bother with achievements, but a few that are mandatory for finishing the game as NCR and blow up all warheads are all I have left besides them till 100% anyways.

You should already have this.

You should already have this. If not, just spam Esther with Big Kid or Tiny Tots ammo at a densely populated area over and over.

1. Take down five Legion assassins using cowboy guns.
2. Kill Caesar with a knife.
3. Kill 10 casino family members using an SMG, LMG, or minigun.

1. Kill 10 named Legion members using cowboy guns.
2. Kill ten cazadores, but be holding a tin grenade, some long-fuse dynamite, or a time bomb when it dies so that it thinks that was the weapon you used.
3. Kill five adult deathclaws, but be holding a silenced .22 pistol, a switchblade, some boxing tape, a recharger rifle, or some normal dynamite as they die so that it thinks that was the weapon you used.

I'm pretty sure that's how the last two work, but I could be wrong.

Get Autumn Leaves.
Get Autumn Leaves.

Get Autumn Leaves.

Good mods for making nights and abandoned buildings dark?

One of the reasons I'm doing this.

Step instructions say to edit enbseries.ini, but there's no such file.

Stacking all the melee options will let you comfortably 3v1 Deathclaws with the switchblade, without even dipping into the real bullshit like Implant GRX.

Yes, because it effectively replaces random weapon spread with weapon sway, which can be actively compensated for. When paired with Real Recoil, the gunplay becomes pretty decent.

Just installed a bunch of stuff via Mod Organizer. Mator Smash is only seeing the game+DLC. How do I fix?

Oh, one of the compatibility patches I have is set to be dendent upon the individual DLC files (modx.esp, modxdeadmoneycompat.esp ect.) but I installed the merged one (modxalldlc.esp). What's the easiest fix?

pirate all the DLC?

Read the post again. I have the DLC.

My problem is the compatibility patch for 2 mods (mail order catalog and WMX) is looking for the individual WMX DLC compatbility files while I have the all DLC version of WMX.

Did you install Mator Smash through MO like I told you to in that screencap?

It didn't want to and given you didn't mention "ignore the errors" I couldn't figure out what to do.

You should be able to change master dependencies with the Beth mod tools. I saw a guide somewhere to do that, but now I can't remember where.

It should be a fairly simple thing.

But have you done New Vegas Bounties 3? It finally came out and concludes the story.


Otherwise it's a good list. Though Freeside Open and Strip Open sometimes conflict with mods that edit those worldspaces, as well as the fact those mods kill FPS

You can chage masters with Wrye Flash. Then when you've finished installing all your mods make a bashed patch

The way the mod designs the world. I was constantly buying ammo, stims, food. Basically a 1:1 trade if loot for supplies, never any extra cash.

msex veronica

Are you fucking retarded? I told you to follow the screencap in , which clearly states to install it through Mod Organiser. Furthermore, if you followed the Fear and Loathing guide that I linked in that same post you'd learn how to install stuff in Mod Organiser.

I'm not going to babysit you through the installation, because you need to learn how to properly use your tools should you ever have a problem with the game.


I genuinely dislike Darnified. I don't find it aesthetically pleasing.

I wouldn't recommend it for actual use, but Tale of Two Wastelands is a neat novelty.

too bad it keeps even the random chance speech checks as well

Mator Smash isn't setup for a standard Mod Organizer install.

well i give up, this is the first time im working with mods, and im stuck, tried looking up tutorial but i still dont get it, what am i doing wrong?

That's not what i expected for sure. Bland and boring.

I want to fuck Julie Farkas

Try Perk Every Level and Level Cap 100

Nigger. Seriously.

That's Nexus Mod Manager, which is a colossal piece of shit and is to never be used by anyone ever. It dumps all mod files into your main directory and doesn't even fucking remember your installation and overwrite order to tell you in which order to uninstall things if you want to unfuck something, and doesn't preserve your clean install either.

I SPECIFICALLY said "Mod Organiser", not NMM. Follow the fucking Fear and Loathing guide like I told you, and stop having the attention span of a gnat when it comes to understanding what you're reading.


That's boring as fuck. The game is already far too easy.

That's what you get for picking the second worst faction.

Cover Based Stealth Mechanics

Project Ultimatum

Apply yourself

I use Nevada Skies + Electro-City. Nevada Skies make nights pitch black while Electro-city adds semi-lore friendly streetlights. The latter is kinda retarded but it looks nice and makes traveling at night both comfy and spoopy

Your instructions are for Skyrim. They don't work for NV.

ok, im sorry, however i still dont know how to get it to work, for some reason the 4gb pacher only just gives me a prompt and does not start the game


i followed and it works

user, move all your mods archives (.7z and .zip files) to the Mod Organizer downloads folder. Then install them from the downloads tab in MO. The reason why everyone uses MO is because your New Vegas data folder is kept clean

Posting the one i used

A Tale of Two Wastelands.

thank you, because i had them in another folder, just to keep them somewhere when downloading them all, i did just as you said and then some. but now i have a problem as you can see from pic, i need to set data as the directory, but i cant and i've been digging for it, the others had them but ENboost does not, what should i do. also the main game content is left un-managed is that ok or no, because then what. the conflict between mods is also a problem any advise to fix that and explain on how to fix it so i can do it myself would be great.

I was amazed at what a complete imbecile Gopher is watching his STALKER playthrough. It was physically painful to see him stumble his way around and struggle with even the most basic of concepts. It took him four or five 40 minute episodes to figure out there was a weight limit.

After House?

It's for retard and it worked,i have nothing to complain about.
I used Mod Organizer since it's better in everything and didn't had to watch the youtube videos.

Base game files being unmanaged are fine. ENBoost will need to be installed outside of MO because it's outside the game's data folder. This is probably the only mod other than ENBs that have this exception.


Let me bully you user

I also just needed a big list of mods since i didn't want to go around the nexus for mods,especially considering i was late to New Vegas since i wanted to play all the Fallout in order
I'm going to bully you instead

Anyone have the version of this mod with working sounds? Also what weapon textures is he using?

Fuck.

well that answers one of my questions, and thank you btw, but what about the 4gb patcher, all i get is a console prompt telling me that it is installed, but i see people run it an it starts the game, what am i doing wrong or did wrong

...

To be honest the maps are the only thing Bethesda can do right.
I don't think Obsidian would be able to make something that varied even with the Fo4 engine, just takes too much budget.

play fallout 1/2 vanilla instead


lots of cuckchanners have been posting lately

Fallout 4 is not a bad game. Its just dialogues and quests suck dick.

Or Fallout 1.5 or Fallout of Nevada.

nice bait lad. every bit of fallout 4 is hot garbage.


this as well

No.

i'm not giving you views mr. cuckchan

You can continue being ignorant, while young generation will still play new games because the gameplay is good.

Did they translate that yet? I'm playing through 1.5 right now

...

The autist over at NMA are working on it. Last I heard all the remaining text had been distributed to translators to work on and return to the editors. Don't know how much stuff they had left.

...

Thanks, glad to hear it's underway

bump

I think this has happened in previous playthroughs too. What causes it?

(Yes, I am just going to cheat win 1 in Blackjack and cheat in the other 6999 caps back because I'm not doing it again)

well i about to quit, every time a lunch fallout NV via mod organizer it crashes if i press a button or if i dont it freezes on the start menu.
