Mr.Hotkeys posted:Do any of the mods in my load order change, like, damage or the defense calculations? It seems everyone is way more bullet spongy than I remember when I played through in Vanilla, though I'm on hard mode now if that's what did it. And in any case, is there a recommended mod to make everyone die in a reasonable amount of shots (Reload)? Hard mode makes you do 75% of the normal damage (plus enemies do extra damage). That sounds like the likely culprit.

Horns posted:Armory dudes, can you recommend a good ammo crafting mod that has the best compatibility? I like some of the stuff the Alternate Armor System added but didn't really care for the armor changes and new ammo types that went with it. I'm really just looking for something that lets me craft all the vanilla ammo types and doesn't add anything new. 2) Yes. The Lone Badger posted:For use with the Armory, is there a (mod for a) shop that draws from the same lists as the Gun Runners so having a very broad stock, but doesn't only sell 100% condition weapons? Mint weapons just cost so much.

Ignore the first question from my last post, found what I was looking for on a second search. When I wrote that post Nexus was bugging the gently caress out for me, some wires must have gotten crossed somewhere and I missed it the first time (FYI, it's Better Vanilla Ammo Crafting, the most barebones ammo crafting mod I could find).Anime Schoolgirl posted:Mick & Ralph's used to have something like this, but I cut out most of the weapons from their store.

So after about an hour of searching, I'd almost given up on finding a perk mod that doesn't add a bunch of overpowered / broken perks (More Perks) or strangely one-dimensional perks that seem to all focus on improving Guns skill with different requirements (Brutus Rex's Perks). Then I remembered how useful FNVEdit could be, and I went ahead and gutted More Perks down to those that allowed for customization without all of the bullshit baggage. I removed forty of More Perks' perks. Forty.

My revised version of More Perks *I attached a list of what I kept and what I didn't, with some explanations for what I cut. I know there are a few perks I should have probably kept, and undoubtedly there will be differences of opinion on what I've done. But hopefully you guys enjoy the 34 I left untouched! ALSO: If you aren't happy with what I've done, you at least have my list to go off of for paring down your own More Perks mod. Simply download More Perks from the Nexus, open up the .esm and .esp in FNVEdit, pick PERKS from the expanding menu for each plugin, and right-click / remove those perks that you don't want. Save, and enjoy. Coughing Hobo posted:Could you do the same with Manual Reload? I like PN2.1, but I needs my manual reload. Manual Reload for NVSE 2.0 *Like I said before, I just gutted some of the script without really knowing what I was doing. Sort of like Orc-logic, it worked because I wished hard enough.

So uh, I installed the following mod: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=41480 I followed ALL the poorly written directions to the letter, used the installer like it said, and then when I went into FO3 from New Vegas the game looked like this:  Is there anyone out there who could provide me with proper instructions? That being, ones that actually make sense. I tried looking online for solutions but it's pretty much exclusively people complaining about the same problem.

From the perk readme: "You have come to the realization that some enemies carry more explosives than others. From now on, you can loot more grenades and mines from fallen enemies." Basically you have a +35% chance to find explosives on enemies. That's a really, really high probability. You'll be finding explosives on loving everything.

I went out on a walk yesterday toward Nipton. By the time I reached the empty city, I poo poo you not, I had 38 grenades from various Legion and Viper encounters. I left the hideout with zero. I'm starting to get curious just how much the leveled lists break once you get above level 30. Especially if you start getting north of 50. At 39, even the Vipers and Legion Recruits are starting to get some pretty interesting equipment. Stuff like Desert Eagles, katanas, and other mid-high end stuff from The Armory. I do find it a little entertaining, however, that the Legionnaires that use melee exclusively are coming loaded down with two or three different types of ammo, usually 10mm, 5.56, and either 9mm or .22 LR.

Is that the Armory that has such generous level lists, or another mod you're running? I'm playing PN 2.1 with some pretty mean loot rarities and I consistently run out of ammo for my guns on long expeditions if I don't hit up a couple of vendors for all of the .357, .44, and .45/70 they've got (also I usually only find a couple of rounds on each kill.) Vertigus posted:Best perk is the one that makes your guns ignore DT on any enemy with less intelligence than you. Which Perk pack does this come from? I didn't find it when I was gutting More Perks, but I remember somebody mentioning it and I wanted to see it with my own eyes. ST Traits and Perks? (That's such a goddamned stupid perk, though.)

It very well might be rePopulated Wasteland or IWS affecting the leveled lists. Though in every case, The Armory should be winning any conflicts that arise. I'll try re-adjusting my load order to force PN and The Armory to load later and see what happens. I honestly forget I have those mods (rPW and IWS) installed.

I don't use the mod that has been released for it but I have some experience trying to load Fallout 3 in New Vegas. It looks to me like you haven't properly registered fallout 3's BSAs to the New Vegas .ini. If you are launching through the steam launcher then you want to make sure that you are editing fallout_default.ini in your new vegas folder, and if not then the fallout.ini in your my documents folder will suffice. The fallout3 BSA files need to be registered to the section that says SArchiveList in order for the missing meshes to show up. There is almost certainly a portion of that mod's documentation that should tell you the order to put them in, so try looking for it and get back to me if you are still having problems. If you cannot find the order, just stick them in somewhere at the end and see if that works. SheepNameKiller fucked around with this message at 05:10 on Jul 1, 2011 |

Has anyone tried some of the other Lucky 38 suite modifications? The one in the OP is nice, but hasn't really been updated in forever. There's no automatic sorter, and companions get stuck in the navmesh. I was thinking to move everything out of there and try different ones, so if someone can recommend one with more features, it'd give me a place to start. Otherwise I'll just try them one by one, I guess. Edit: vvvvvv Yeah, I was looking at Reloaded among other things -- I was wondering if anyone had good or bad experiences with it, cause schlepping all this stuff out and into different modded suites isn't exactly a fast process. There are some negative-ish comments on Nexus, but it's Nexus. Jan fucked around with this message at 07:38 on Jul 1, 2011 |

 Welp... Level 13. Hard difficulty; Hardcore. I have a Trait that gave me +1 to Strength, Endurance, and Agility in exchange for all chems and consumables being only half as effective (Stimpaks heal ~18 HP.) Project Nevada Food and Ammo rarity 10% (extreme), food doesn't heal, and Alternative Repair prevents me from scrapping weapons on the fly...I need repair kits for that. Dead Money.
