I got it before he split it off from the main URWL entry; it wasn't clear whether it was just a compatibility patch. :shobon: Thanks though, that should make things even more stable.

What are some good mods for a fresh run through? Some mods that make the game generally better but don't do weird poo poo or radically change everything. Maybe some mods that better balance the skills, or modify the weapons a bit, or fix some quest bugs, or make the game look and play a bit nicer, etc. That sort of thing.

Check out the OP my friend. I update it almost every day, it's organized by theme, and I give you a description of each mod along with a link that usually contains a more comprehensive description of the mod (and a download.) That way you can pick and choose what you want, a la cart.

I've made an effort to not put anything in the OP that is sub-par, breaks the game, or is for a niche crowd. Most of the stuff is generally regarded as the best in its category, or widely accepted as a solid mod.

I love the rest of it but what is it with modders and making visors like that? That doesn't happen in real life that's what happens in a cartoon.

Eh, normally I don't like it but the ones they had weren't awful, they weren't like every other mod added one where they take up 30% of the screen. I'm definitely aware when I'm wearing ski goggles or a gas mask for gimmicks so I think they've balanced it pretty well. But yes Metro 2033 does it the best.

What also annoys the poo poo out of me on the Nexus are the guys who actually make good stuff but write like loving retards, so you don't know where they put the stuff or how to use things etc.

Like this guy: http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35668
In the description he lists three different places for the armor pack to be, but none of them are correct. They are at Gunrunners and I only found that out by scrolling down 17 pictures in the images section.

(I'm not talking about people whose first language isn't English, those guys usually try to be understandable.)

Also, anyone want some "DeadSpcae Armor" ?

Redesigned alone takes broader liberties to make the characters look better, Lore sticks more to their original appearances.

I'm running a fairly vanilla set of mods that enhance without changing. I'll make a post about it later, can't do it right now.

I could see some value in making such an addition to the OP, sort of a 'here's some improvements without changes modlist', though that's always subjective.

Increased Wasteland Spawns is working great for me, and adds a shitload of NPCs and enemies everywhere. IWS just updated to the latest version today. It's a decent substitute for Mart's Mutant Mod until we get MMM for New Vegas, if ever.

It's also working great with World of Pain, if you want some serious dungeon clearing then combine these 2 mods.

Really the only drawback so far is the maximum spawns setting will slowdown your PC in outdoor areas.

The thing you'll want to be careful with this mod is that if you try to go to the legion camp on the way to Novac be prepared to fight a standing army of 20 fully armed Legionnaire. Armed with everything from chainsaws to 12.7mm smgs. I have yet to beat them at my current level of 8.

Is it good? I kind of got turned off in the first 30 minutes of my modded restart when it appeared to do nothing but spawn rats randomly into the overworld. I just got the vibe that all the mod was doing was taking my level, cross-referencing it with a really simple table of monsters, and plopping them down randomly. It just felt kind of goofy, especially since no rats spawn in Goodsprings, so it was way more obvious. Like if I had kept it running I'd have just run into lots of generic "trash mobs" in between the real fights.

If it's more subtle than that maybe I'll try it again though.

IWS does reference level, but it also references geography. For example, once you hit the areas east of Nipton and south of Novac, you run into more Vipers and much more Legion. If you have the patrols pack installed, you get some nice battles between NCR patrols and Legion raiding parties.

Cazador spawns get increased in the northeast and northwest, along with ghouls in the northeast, geckos in the central areas, etc.

IWS is the best of its kind, IMO.

It might be more subtle by selecting the "Low" spawn setting. Also, the mod author states you can just load the base esm and experience a "modest" increase in spawns throughout the world, so trying these two things might be what you are looking for. I've never tried anything but "High" spawn setting though, because I love getting into wacky scenarios like spending a half hour dropping dozens of frag mines one at a time off a cliff onto a pack of 50 fire geckos, all trying to BBQ me at once whenever I peek my head over the cliff edge to drop another mine.

I really like Centered 3rd Person Camera for playing while zoomed out. It lets you pull the camera back quite far, so you're not just stuck on a waist-up-only shot forever.

Yeah, with IWS, Centaurs will appear at every toxic dump site. They’ll even appear at the small site just to the north of the ranger station near Novac. And the places where Centaurs already spawned by default, like Jackrabbit Springs, will have even more Centaurs.

The GECK seems so intimidating to me. In the past I usually just start screwing with stuff and I can piece together how it works eventually.

I was wanting to make a mod that radios in a platoon of robots if you go the usurp mr house route. But after an hour I can't even figure out why why the render window is all red. Anyone know why its doing that ? I pull up a region or cell or model and its just a red screen. I've tried google and the wiki btw. Anyway it just seems non intuitive I guess.

Is there a better pipboy lighting mod out there? The ones I found all just increase the brightness of the existing light, which makes the damnably dark interiors more viewable, but at the cost of making EVERYTHING that you get close to light up and reflect like mad, which looks both glaring and hideous.

Basically I'm just looking for slightly longer-range illumination, but without massively increasing specular shine so that it doesn't look like I'm shining a spotlight on everything I move near.

Totally rad. I have no modding skills whatsoever but if you make a quest it should start with a note on a corpse in that abandoned Hunters Shack. Or from No-Bark.
