Anyone use IWS and does it cause a ton of problems ?

http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=38623

I've been using it for a while now. I don't feel like it's increased the amount of CTD or bugs that I've encountered. I have mine set with Medium Spawns outside, more civs and patrols and no increased spawns on the inside. I tried it with Large Spawns on the outside and things were okay until I ended up in a 15v15 NCR vs. Legion just south of Novac. I can deal with 6 to 7 legion at once, but a dozen get's down right hairy with the amount of explosives being tossed around. Might try bumping it up again though just to see if my character can handle it now. Overall I would say that it makes the game more fun and makes walks less monotonous.

My game has just started locking up at random; usually about every thirty minutes it freezes, and its really pissing me off. It will freeze at completely random spots like during dialogue, loading or even when I am just walking around. I recently put the weapon mod crafting and weapon mod as loot mods in my loadout, but when the game started crashing every time I would enter or exit a door I took them out; unfortunately the game is still locking up and I have no idea why. Anyone have a similar problem?

Hey, Coughing Hobo, your upload of the Desert Scorpion mod doesn't work for me. I can't open it in Fallout Mod Manager without it crashing. It could be my version of FOMM, but the file could be corrupted or something.

Could you re-upload it? I really want that armor.

Anyone have an idea as to why I can't seem to recreate the Stealth Suit Mk II voice on another piece of armor? I've set the armor to use the same script and enhancements as the stealth suit but the only time the voice comes on is when I'm removing the armor. I'm sure it's something simple that I've overlooked in my modding stupidity but I can't seem to figure it out.

E: :downs: Oh right. Changed every script I could find referencing the suit to link to the custom armor I'm using and still no dice.
E2: So looking around it seems that the voice actually comes from a creature file scripted to work with the armor so I guess I just have to make the armor go into a hidden slot like those invisible vests and use it that way.

Have you modified the dialogue conditions in the quest itself? You have to add the new set to every condition in the quest. It has to be right next to the condition that checks for the AuralStealthSuit, with an OR between them. That's what held me up when I did it.

I could try to copy my modified scripts and quest to a new .esp, too. I didn't copy over the upgrades, though. What are you adding the voice to?

I asked the same question and no one seemed to know, so I second this as another interested party

I know the perks mods add unarmed perks and does some pretty big changes (makes melee and unarmed SHARE some perks instead of being one or the other only) and AG adds tons of melee weapons, but other than that I haven't found anything that actually overhauls the system itself, just stuff that adds content to the unarmed/melee system

I made a thing. You can [Edit: Removed for just a little while. Will post a fixed version in a few hours. Check back.]. This is the first release of my housing mod. It isn't anything incredibly fancy but I I like it.

I'll just post the readme here, since this is the only place I'm posting this anyway:
- To install it, all you have to do is plop the 7zip file in your data folder and extract here. Or install it with FOMM that should work too. It's just an esm, a meshes folder, and a textures folder.

- I've tested this place pretty extensively and with a wide configuration of mods. I haven't found anything it doesn't agree with. The only thing I could see interfering is if you have something that drastically alters the interior of Jean's Sky Diving near Goodsprings or modifies the terrain in the hills northwest of Goodsprings. To my knowledge no mods do either of these things, though.

- There are probably minor bugs here and there. Let me know and I'll fix them. :)

- It's possible that the station may be really dark if you use a pitch-black darkness mod. I've tried to make sure this doesn't happen but if it does let me know.

-The Garbage can in the kitchen is intentionally marked as a respawning container so you can get rid of any junk that you don't want to store or sell. The garbage can will get rid of everything in it every 3 gamedays. All other containers in the station will keep things indefinitely.

- This place is designed with an entirely new playthrough in mind, but you can get it at any time. To start the unmarked mini-quest/note trail(15 minute max) that gives you the place, look under the bar stools in the Goodspring's Saloon. You'll need 6 Dynamite somewhere along the way so you may want to get that. With how plentiful dynamite is in this game I didn't feel that that was unreasonable.

-If you want to haul rear end and get there asap: Find/get 6 dynamite. Fast travel to Jean's Sky Diving. Go in and take the key and the map that are by Kickson's corpse. Fast travel to Goodsprings and go to the Lombard Station marker in the northwest. Use the 6 dynamite on the cave in. Use the key to unlock the door. That's it!

-I apologize in advance for my lovely writing. I wanted to give the place a little backstory and try to fit it in with the world.

You can see screenshots of it in my previous posts. I have to say I'm really happy with how this place turned out. I don't think its for everyone. It has a weird mixture of old-world construction and post-war furnishing that I haven't seen in any other mods and I think the balance works pretty well. As far as features go I've pretty much added everything I want to add, there are a few areas that can be improved on(DLC support, less boring weapon walls, supporting some of the better weapon mods, etc

Also if you have 100 medical skill you can use the surgical tray to turn into Femme Sonic. I will not be removing this feature and I will not tolerate negative criticism of it.

1) Makes the nights darker but not pitch-black dark where you can't see anything without night-vision gear.
2) Doesn't touch the colour palette too much (looking at you Nevada Skies URWL and Project Reality)
3) Doesn't add too many performance eating weather themes, such as dust storms

1. Nevada Skies for weeks if not months has had a nighttime brightness adjuster that does exactly what you want.
2. Nevada Skies also has a new version 0.7 out that drops the URWL colors and stays much closer to vanilla mood and lighting.
3. Turn them off.

Well, you don't seem to have Dynavision which is needed for Director's chair to work. Crashes on launch are pretty much always missing master files.

I ended up just turning the stealth suit into a model-less armor then went into BodyAddon3 so I can wear it with whatever I want with minimal scripting. I was attempting to add it on to the Chinese stealth suit that I changed up to actually have a minor stealth field effect while sneaking.

Load order's messed up. Some of those master files should be rearranged, so run them through BOSS. If your CTD is every 20-30 minutes like clockwork, it probably means you're hitting your RAM ceiling and the game is freaking out. If you have a 64-bit system with 4 GB of RAM, use the 4GB Enabler (FNV4GB) linked in the OP and that should help.

I use Fellout and Nights are Darker (25% esp) with The Imaginator. The Nights are Darker mod is a bit too strong, but careful Imaginator settings can get it into the sweet spot (or at least, what I prefer). I want to be able to see the terrain and figure out where I'm going, but it still be fairly dark. Here's what I mean:

All the vendors along the "correct" path to New Vegas will have at least laser or plasma pistols and often a recharger rifle. There are also Bright Brotherhood ghoul corpses along the way with everything up to RCWs (Plasma Defenders is your high enough level). The grave at the Yangtze Memorial has a high chance to contain EN weapons as well.

It looks like I can answer my own question. I just tested Nevada Skies 0.7 and it seems to have a lot brighter nights than the 0.6.3 version. You can't configure it like 0.6.3, but luckily the annoying weather patterns seem to be quite infrequent. But the nighttime brightness is quite nice — at least on my monitor.

Project Reality started doing the "nights so dark that you literally can't see anything" thing. I've been playing around with four different weather mods and I may have been lax in properly switching between them. How do you get those working together?

I'm liking it so far, found a couple of typo's in the initial quests, specifically the first note you repeated the same two words twice, trying to remember what they are but it was something like "was not was not", i'll go back and find it later.

Now inside i ran into a couple of issues, mostly the weapon wall and mannequins:



The textures on the weapon wall change every time i move my cursor (change the way i look at it). Not sure if this is a bug in the walls or my textures pack (poco bueno). The weapons mount correctly and seem to be perfect but it's a little hard to see them with the crazy textures.


Whenever i put an armor on a mannequin it shifts it to the right and off the little pedestal you made.

I don't have a screen shot for the last bug but is this house companion friendly? I had every companion follow me into the cave but they sure were stubborn and had to be prodded into the home itself. Once i told them to wait the sandbox mod i have took over and they sat and things but didn't walk around much. I put Arcade and Raul in the weapon room but they just tend to stand there. Arcade occasionally talks to the mannequins which is amusing though.

Other than those few i'm loving it, amazing job on the lore in the terminal as well ( a few typos but i thought they were kinda realistic given it was someone typing things in).
