Any good clothes/armor mods that keep it simple and not "year 2495 SWAT Team bags everywhere" or "pedo anime mecha japanese laser beam"?

I'm not into mixing and matching like Tailor Maid and Satchels do, either.

For example, I'm talking about things like this, this or this.

OK, so I'm trying to edit the AG Supplementary Uniques' Wildcat .45 from the Honest Hearts .esp so that it uses the same beefy firing sounds that CRL9000 gives the standard .45 pistol and I'm running into some weird problems because I am dumb.

I've managed to get it to use the right sounds but now 1) all the other AG Honest Hearts uniques like the Alyx .224 and Madman SMG seem to have disappeared from the game (which isn't that big of a deal to me, all I care about is the Wildcat), and 2) the Wildcat now no longer takes mod kits. I thought all I had to do was edit the AG HH .esp so that the Wildcat uses sounds that CRL9000 replaces (the Wildcat uses the 10mm SMG sounds, which CRL9000 doesn't touch, so I switched it to use the new replaced 9mm pistol sounds), but that clearly isn't the case. What else do I need to do?

To be fair, armour is considerably more difficult to model than weapons.

(especially since a lot of the weapon mods are just models ripped directly from other games)

It's not that simple. That's why armor mods aren't as widespread as weapons. Weapons are simple, you can play barbie with weapons all day long adding every piece and bit you want to them like lego so long as you follow a few rules. Armor needs to be rigged up with a skeleton and exported properly via the scripts you find for Blender (and 3ds/maya, but their scripts are severely out of date) on niftools or you'll just have problems galore.

I don't particularly care to learn Blender at this time which is why I've never done any myself, but maybe once I'm done with TA I'll do it so I can finally make the armor I've always wanted.

Can someone make me a mod that edits the lever action shotgun to 12 gauge? It should involve changing it's ammo list to ammo12GA, then the leveled lists (there should be three under withAmmo to spawn with 12ga ammo and casings). That should be everything.

I would do it myself but my Geck is totally broken and refuses to save files even after reinstalling, "Please close all dialog windows before saving".

Try the GECK powerup, which restores warnings, so you know why GECK refuses to save. You also probably need to save the individual files you are working on, and close them. Probably because when you try to save the whole thing, it pops up some invisible error messages about saving those files.

This may sounds stupid but... have you actually closed all the dialog windows? Because they really like to hide behind the object/cell windows. I always get in the habit of moving both around before I save to make sure none of taking up hide and go seek behind there. Weird as it is to say that...

So I was playing Honest Hearts with my newest character because it's quick and I wanted to get Joshua with Reunited and It Feels So Good. I did all the side quests and got to the attack on Three Marys, but no matter what I do the instance doesn't actually end. I've tried talking Joshua Down, killing Salt in regular combat, and having Joshua blow Salt's brains out, but after that I'm either rooted to the ground in 1 and 3's case, or stuck wandering around while Joshua just has his normal "welcome back, would you like to trade etc" dialogue and I can't fast travel out in 2's case. The game also wouldn't actually engage Joshua's dialogue in the Narrow's either, letting him just stand there, zoom the camera into him, and then zoom back out to release me anytime I went near him.

Is this a normal problem with the DLC, or something that could be caused by Honest Hearts Extended/Reunited and it Feels So Good/Better Burned Man, and in any case, does anyone know a fix or do I have to just reload my save from before going to Zion?

The Wikia doesn't list this particular bug, so it could be your mods. Have you tried unchecking both in the launcher, loading your game, saving it, exiting New Vegas, loading it again and doing the final part of the quest?

These two suits of power armour are pretty original (especially the latter) and lore friendly. I too would like to see more armour in the retro-future style of Fallout rather than the high-speed operator equipment that gets churned out on a regular basis.

Ok so I'm about to start yet another playthrough and after recommendations from CoP here's what I'm changing in PN

code:
Difficulty - Normal, Hardcore Off
Weapon Damage Skill Influence - 50%
Ammo Rarity - 10%
Leveling Rate - 66%
Skill Point Penalty - (-4) 
Minimum Damage (DT Bleedthrough) - 15%
Alternative Repair ON
Now other people have mentioned both leveling and endurance multipliers. Where do I turn/change these and to what values? I only skimmed through the PN settings but didn't see them.

Also, what exactly does alternative repair change? I already have a repair mod (Realistic Repair), would this conflict with said mod?

And since I'm not doing a hardcore run (just finished one and while "fun", it just became a chore and sometimes broke the pace of my short gameplay since I work 80% of the day) should I make up by bumping the difficulty to hard or will the PN settings make the game hard enough?

I find that putting it to Hard makes the game a lot more visceral if not a little too rear end in a top hat-y at times.

1. PN's "Alternative Repair" basically works like this: You can't simply take two identical weapons and repair one with the other. In addition to a copy (or similar item) of the item you are repairing, you now need "repair tools" in order to fix items. Repair tools have replaced "Repair Kits" and can be made in sets of 5 (or maybe 10) at repair benches by combining duct tape, wonderglue, a hammer, and a wrench. Every time you work on an item, it consumes one "repair tool".

To offset this additional requirement, you no longer need an identical item to repair with--so long as your repair skill is higher than the "weapon skill" of the weapon you're fixing. It sounds complicated, but it works like this: You have a repair skill of 30, and you're fixing a .357 revolver (which has a weapon skill of 0.) You can use other handguns to fix it, not just .357 revolvers. But if the weapon skill is higher than your repair skill, you can only repair weapons with copies of themselves. Armor works in a similar fashion, but I forget the details. It's broken down by weight class, however.

2. Endurance and leveling multipliers are in one of the options pages of PN - Rebalance. I currently have my leveling multiplier = 5 and endurance multiplier = 10 for both you and NPCs.

3. For your third question, it really depends. If you remove the healing effects from food (another PN - Rebalance option) then you can just leave the difficulty at normal. If you can't resist pausing combat every five seconds to cram seven gecko steaks into your gut and shoot stimpaks into your eyes, then you might want to bump it up to hard.

Another thing: I went to OWB at level 7 and came out level 17 with the aforementioned settings. NPCs are tough but creatures are pretty pathetic. If you're finding that there's no challenge in one-shotting Super Mutants and Deathclaws, I might suggest looking up "Creatures Give You Hell" and "Rise of the Machines" on the Nexus. Those mods completely rework the game's creatures, boosting their DT, Health, and adding relevant perks that make them a challenge again. For example, a lot of Ghouls and robots had no rad resistance, and a lot of high-level Nightkin have less health than you.

That being said, I've had to go through both of those mods and scale back some of the settings--they were a little too rough. I think the author set the DT of Hardened Mk2 Sentry Bots to something insane, like 60, which makes them pretty tedious to fight. Dropping this to 40 DT made a lot more sense.

Hopefully you find those settings to your liking.

I'm actually thinking of doing a no-repair skill of this run. Just basically use a weapon till it starts giving me problems then switch to whatever I find in the wastes or buy a new one but thanks for the info on the repair stuff.

Yeah, I'm removing the healing effects of food so I guess I'm good to get this next run started. I think I'm going to go with small weapons and melee and play opposite of how my previous runs have been (long range sniping / energy weapons). I imagine will come in handy with ammo being more rare.

I think this is harder to pull off in NV than it is in Fallout 3, because of all the crafting stuff that requires repair skill. Ammo you can get from vendors and such, but there's also a bunch of unique stuff you can only get by crafting it.

Still, I suppose it would be interesting just to invest some points elsewhere for once. That skill really is too good in the Bethesda Fallout games.

By the way, if you are using ambient occlusion (whomever was interested), it's probably more effective graphically to dump more horsepower into AA and AF and leave AO at "performance" instead of "quality." You get a minor bump in quality considering the GPU cost.

Thanks for this (and your other post about PN settings). Between these and the mini-hardcore thing I've made for myself it's been pretty good so far, we'll see how long it lasts.

I never ended up using Arwens not because I didn't like it (I didn't realize it for a while, but the best way to describe it is Morrowind with guns; everyone is awful and you're awful because you've got terrible skills, level them up and they get a lot better - kind of neat honestly if it wasn't for one major flaw), but because it wasn't complete and because like FWE before her she tweaks all the guns/armor and because it'snot complete it just makes it a compatability/balance/MY IMMERSION nightmare unless I want to play vanilla with no DLC.

So I stole all her leveled lists and put them into my old overhaul mod, adjusted some values and got rid of some other stuff from it and adjusted some DLC leveled lists. Pretty sweet so far :whatup:

Probably gonna remake my old weird power armor mod from FO3 too so you can't grab armor off corpses.
