I've been using the Pip-Boy 2500 for a while now. It's basically a readius type pip-boy replacer made to look like the original Fallout 1/2 pipboy interface.

SplitSoul posted:Sadly, no. There was a whole lot of them, some just made minor changes and some were probably unintended. But it just goes to show that familiarity with FNVEdit is a necessity for large mod lists, even if it is a huge pain in the rear end to figure out what goes where. I'm at about 25 to 30 mods at the moment, with most of them either recommended in the OP or during the course of this thread. I took out Mission Mojave when I discovered it changes things other than just doing straight fixes, which is what I thought an "unofficial" patch was only supposed to do.

QuantaStarFire posted:Mission Mojave is the "unofficial patch" as far as I'm aware. Grab The Armory for a shitload of additional guns, and Police Automaton's Armor compilation for a bunch of armors, as well as one of the Weapon Mod mods for a bunch of additional weapon mods for vanilla guns. Grab Arenovalis' weapon retextures to make a bunch of the vanilla guns look really pretty. Grab RobCo Certified if you want to be able to build tons of different robots. Grab a UI mod (I recommend DarNified UI) for a better interface. Grab Right To Bear Arms if you want guns from the Gun Runner's Arsenal DLC to spawn on NPCs (who will then shoot you with them). Get Invisible Wall Remover to remove all the invisible walls that plague the game. CASM will help with managing your saves. Project Nevada will add a bunch of new cybernetic implants and other fun stuff for you to play with, and restore some FO3 guns. Thanks for the list. JSawyer was one of the ones that everyone over in the Steam thread was talking about. The changelog looks interesting but does it maybe add a bit too much difficulty for Fallout noobs to use it in a first playthrough?

Takes No Damage posted:Thanks for the list. JSawyer was one of the ones that everyone over in the Steam thread was talking about. The changelog looks interesting but does it maybe add a bit too much difficulty for Fallout noobs to use it in a first playthrough? It depends. I found fallout 3 and NV way too easy to begin with. The in-game difficulty slider is just a flat change of damage you take vs. damage enemies take, which just makes the game more tedious and gives you bullet-sponge enemies. I'd say it's worth it on a vanilla playthrough if you like having to use more of your resources and money to get by. Without it I find you turn into a demigod with thousands upon thousands of caps you'll never spend and ammo up the wazoo and the game stops being very challenging around the 3rd city you visit. Main things Jsawyer does: -Lowers player initial health (& health gained on leveling up): Initial health is cut by a lot compared to vanilla; health gained on leveling up was nerfed slightly -Lowers carrying capacity - helps curb this compulsive hoarding problem so many goons seem to have; occasionally it forces you to weigh what to keep and what to drop -Leveling is 33% slower (still a little to fast IMO but much better than the regular rate) -Level is capped at 35 instead of 50 -Hardcore mode: Increases the rates of hunger/thirst, makes food and water less common people are mixed about this change. I like it because relative scarcity makes eating and drinking actually matter now; before it was so easy to get food and drink to me it felt like playing with meters -Courier's Stash and Gun Runner's Arsenal DLC are better integrated: before, as soon as you walked out of the starter area you were given about 20 preorder DLC items. Jsawyer rebalances the stats on the armors and spreads them over stashes in the wasteland. Gun Runner's Arsenal weapons are now used by a few enemies. -Rebalances various armors/weapons (nerfs and buffs where appropriate) -Gives stimpacks weight, food/drink gives you less health [sunset sasparilla soda is no longer viable as a sole healing item) -Minor rebalances to perks Example: Junk rounds used to be a loving useless perk, one tin can for one round of ammunition, now it actually bears consideration -Karma overhaul: Vanilla scenario: Raped, pillaged, and murdered your way across the mojave? Fret no more, kill a few drug-crazed fiends for an hour and you are now a saint of the wasteland! [much easier to play neutral/evil characters] -Various minor bug fixes/tweaks Think that covers most of it. ----- As for other mods I recommend for a vanilla playthrough: Manual Reload Darn's UI Delay DLC - sucks getting bombarded with these quests as soon as you start the game More Realistic Aiming Arenovalis's Weapon retextures (only texture mod I'd say is mandatory for a first playthrough) If you think the nights are too drat bright: Nights are Darker (3 settings to choose from) - if you like the 25% version there is another modder who updated that part, look for the link in the comment section on the nexus.

About to start a run-through after some time away. I'd really like to give the JSawyer mod a go, but I really don't want to lose the ProjectNevada features like sprinting and biomod/surgery stuff. I don't suppose I can get them to play nice?

Everything works fine with jsawyer with the exception of the PN - rebalance feature. In my current playthrough i'm using Project Nevada core with jsawyer with no problems.

Just bought New Vegas on Steam, and went about trying to install mods, but Nexus Mod Manager crashes every time I try to install Project Nevada. I tried with an older version of Project Nevada, and I've made sure UAC is off, and none of the files involved in the installation are in the /program files directory. Every time is lets me choose which modules I want to install, and then crashes to desktop. Could I manually apply the patching process somehow, or will I have to run the entire modding process on another PC, and then copy the fully modded New Vegas folder back across to my gaming PC?

Don't use the Nexus Mod Manager. Never use the Nexus Mod Manager. EVER. Just download and install the Fallout Mod Manager (FOMM), run it, and use the package manager to activate Project Nevada.

Dunno, I used the Nexus manager for months without any major issues. Some stuff didn't like to install, but for those I just did manual installs and it was fine. Maybe I'm a fringe case, who knows.

I haven't had any issues with the Nexus mod manager. Just recently I thought I'd give the game another run though, I'm trying MTUI and it breaks Project Nevada for some reason. Guess I need to get Darnified installed again.

Maybe I'm a fringe case, who knows. I've given personal help to a lot of people whose problem ended up being NMM. I really wouldn't recommend using it, since it makes it impossible to troubleshoot problems when they pop up (since everything is automated.) I wouldn't doubt that it works flawlessly for some people, but I've gotten the, "I don't know, I just had NMM install it" response more times than I can count.

Pretty sure you can run those in conjunction. When you install PN, just select the Cyberware and Core modules, but not the Equipment or Rebalance ones. Takes No Damage posted:Thanks for the list.

I've used FOMM since NV came out, and I never switched to NMM when it came out because it would require a couple hours uninstalling and reinstalling mods (and probably screw up my install in the process). Seems to work OK with Skyrim, though.

quiggy posted:I picked up both Fallout 3 and New Vegas in the Steam sale and decided to come looking here for mods. I found A Requiem for the Capital Wasteland and would love to have it so that I could just play both areas in the same game, but unfortunately the mod isn't currently available on Nexus. Is there either a different mod that does the same thing or an alternate place I can download the mod from? Currently, it sounds like Bethesda issued a C&D for any mods that attempt to unite FO3 and NV. There's rumor that Requiem for the Capital Wasteland is in talks with Bethesda reps about getting the mod re-released, but I don't believe you'll find anything along the lines of these mods right now. Everybody's hiding from the lawyers.

Should stay unlocked forever I think. Have you tried checking things out in FNVEdit? It's possible some other mod is also messing with the Jean Skydiving cell, overwriting lombard's changes. You might be able to fix it by putting lombard lower in your load order, or whipping up a compatibility patch to resolve any conflicts you find (you can do this pretty easily by using the copy as override function into your merged patch, or a new esp you made for this purpose).

Sawyer's Overhaul Electro-City Nevada Skies - Weather Effects Beta Increased Wasteland Spawns rePopulated Wasteland Military Expansion Program Signature Armor Signature Weapons So two questions: 1)Are there any glaring incompatibilities in this list? 2)I would like some mods that add weapons and armor, but not a ton of tacticlol crap, but things that look like they "fit", if that makes any sense.

LPAM and Project Nevada's equipment module are probably what you're looking for. You could try out our weapon mod, but you'll be forced to use the cabinet esp to go searching for weapons that suit your immersion tastes. We have poo poo for everyone in it, from the tactilolers to the immersionists to the roleplayers, but ya gotta be willing to sort through it first. I have to say though, I'm still surprised that nobody's bothered to make an immersionist friendly esp based off TA's master. I figured there'd be enough of you out there who'd be willing to go placing weapons around the game world. Hell, I even started one for you guys

I can never not use PN's rebalance module just for the ability to modify carry weight on the fly. Turn it down for normal exploring, but once you've cleared an area and it's time to haul all that loot back to base, you crank that motherfucker to maximum and do it in one trip because gently caress, I don't want to spend my videogame time playing post-apocolyptic logistics transport services. Besides, the PN rebalance module can be customized in the configuration menu to behave like CCO or JSawyer for the most part.

Antignition posted:Main things Jsawyer does: I don't get why people love jSawyer so much. Other than re-balancing certain aspects, literally all decreased carrying capacity does is make you play Inventory Keeper: New Vegas a lot more than the actual game. It makes nothing actually harder in any way whatsoever, and you will only have to throw stuff away if you're completely lazy. Inventory is fairly ridiculous in vanilla, yes, but half of the problem here is that the game organizes inventory terribly. The only modern RPG inventory system I've seen that is worse is Mass Effect 1.

Although the very nice guys in the STALKER thread talked me through getting that modded and running so I assume that a more normal game cant be that bad.
