SpookyLizard posted:first i just wanna say that this thread owns, especially you cream-of-plenty. Thanks, glad you're enjoying it! Project Nevada does indeed have some files acting as masters, and they are perfectly safe to enable. What the PN team did here is an old trick, and won't hurt your game at all. Also, if you can find an older copy of World of Pain, you should be good. The reason it was removed from the OP is because the mod has grown to become a bloated, sloppy mess. Will some people still enjoy the mod? Definitely. But it's been panned by the community as a perfect example of a modder not knowing when to stop and start a new project.

Marvili posted:I've been running into a bit of a problem with CCO's damage resistance module - I'm playing a character with the Determined trait (15 permanent damage threshold in exchange for being able to use chems) and into the past (5 damage threshold and 3 crit when wearing a piece of pre-war clothing), and my Pip-boy is showing me as having 27 DT but only 17 DR, despite the fact that I'm using all light armor. Anyone have any ideas? A few minutes of work in the GECK should fix that oversight. Thanks for letting me know.

SpookyLizard posted:Also, is A World of Pain any good? I've heard mixed things and I didn't see it in the OP. There are a lot of good ideas, but at this point, like CoP said, it's pretty bloated. Last I checked he decided to tone down the loot, however. I still kinda like it, if only for the spelunking of dungeons. The author's map layouts are interesting to explore, if a little confusing every once and awhile.

I'll hold off on it for now. Is there any good, lower level 'new' content? I've played the game since launch on a console, fooled around with it on PC a bit after I earlier this year, and am playing it again since the summer sale has got a bunch of people talking about it again so i'm satisfying my need for post nuclear wasteland cowboys. But I'd like to deviate from what I've done plenty of times before, because if I have to I'll end up just killing everything in sight. If I do feel like hunting down a less lovely version of AWOP, is there a recommended 'good' version number? Also, out of curiosity, would it be possible to sort of duplicate Signature Weapon? I love it, but I'd love to be able to have a bit more variety.

There aren't very many mods that add new quests or locations, especially geared for lower levels. Because of that, I was initially going to suggest getting all of the DLC, but I'm not sure if you have them already. I've found that a lot of them are much more enjoyable at lower levels, though. Failing that, the quests listed in the OP (like New Vegas Bounties + Tales from the Burning Sands) might be your best bet, though the former is known to get pretty tough.

Without posting my load order of way too many mods, I'm guessing my "Walk as far as the saloon in Goodsprings and then textures start loving up and half of my keybindings don't do anything" problem is caused by having way too many mods? Will making a bash patch help that or do I just need to have willpower and kill a bunch of my mods?

Yip Yips posted:If you don't mind, what's your load order with these? I'm very concerned with stability, which is why I was really hesitant to just toss on two dozen mods. Like CoP mentioned, I just let FOMM use BOSS to auto-sort it (there's an option in the drop-down menu to do this). My game works fine and is stable. Also, it's been brought up, but I just want to emphasize that the important thing is to not throw in two dozen mods at once. I basically installed 1-2 mods at a time and checked to see if the game ran. It took a lot longer, of course, but it also makes it so that you see immediately if something is a problem. Real example: I installed Director's Chair -- this gives you an in-game menu thing for lighting/image mods so you can adust them more easily -- but forgot to install Cinematech (I already had Imaginator and Dynavision, its two other required mods, installed). When I ran the game, it immediately crashed before it really got to the loading screen. Because the only new thing I'd installed was DC and the game had loaded just fine before that, I knew to look specifically at DC and read the instructions again carefully to see what the hell the problem was. And that's when I realized I hadn't actually installed one of its required mods.  Edit: One thing. When you're adding/activating mods with FOMM, activate Unified HUD last because it will auto-detect various other mods that modify the HUD and makes them all play nice together. If you've already activated it, then deactivate and reactivate and it'll work fine (you need to do this anyway if you install more stuff that modifies the HUD, check Unified HUD's readme). Afterward just let BOSS sort them and then done. Midrena fucked around with this message at 10:13 on Jul 26, 2012 |

Having to repair the terminals seems more trouble than it's worth for something that isn't conveniently located - I end up just huffing it across the map to McCarran, Westside, North Vegas, Fiend Territory, and then back to Freeside. And if anyone's a little bored with how their character looks, I suggest giving Playable Lobotomites a try. Mess with the tone around your eyes, etc. to get a little bit more normal looking, and you just end up looking like a guy who's seen some poo poo.

So I installed the Armory, and at first was slightly disappointed that none of the handguns were quite as cool, to me at least, as A Light Shining in The Darkness. But then I grabbed all the shotguns outta the cabinets, and long story short, Goodsprings is all dead, I'm out of Coinshot, and The Armory owns bones.

If the weapon mod didn't work you could try converting it to it's GRA/Standard counterpart at a bench, but in a lot of cases WMX gives different types of mods to the GRA version of the weapon that can't be converted/used on the vanilla version.

Is it something you just have to resign yourself to, or is there a workaround? The "Tweaks.esp" has all that stuff in it. I basically just took the values from the existing followers tweaks and applied them to Marcus/Sunny Smiles/etc. Pretty easy to do in FNVedit. I also really like Speed-E Wheels. I think it is the perfect compromise between Fast Travel and No Fast Travel. With Project Nevada's sprinting, it is pretty easy to get around still.

natlampe posted:The latest version [of electro city] doesn't have the HQ enabled. This is true. In the latest version he made his signs smaller and got rid of the HQ, which is what prompted me to go ahead and install it. Even without that, i've still run into EC caravan after caravan, generators the size of large houses dotting the wasteland. Although, in it's defense, the engineers that the mod creates have been useful cannon fodder distracting the throngs of legion assassins that are after me. I swear jswayer must have done something to those encounters because they're by far the most difficult fights for me now and I don't remember having to watch my rear end like this in my older playthroughs. quote:I was a little disappointed with Puce Moose's Speed-E-Wheels.

I am loving the game with Speed E Wheels/no fast travel. I admit I'm having trouble finding a station around freeside (although i did just get here) but they've been well placed around the wasteland so far, does a great job of keeping MY IMMERSION, and I think the repairing aspect of it is a nice twist. I remember scouring Nipton for one drat fission battery and eventually just giving up. I think it definitely needs a spot in the OP, it always bothered me how well Morrowind did the fast-travel system almost perfectly and I never saw the system used again.

Another mod that I've been using in favor of lootable old cars - Loot All Cars Trucks Golf Carts Vehicles, which is pretty good. I like it over Lootable Old Cars primarily because a majority of the vehicles have a chance to have no loot at all, where Lootable Old Cars almost guarantees you loot whenever you open the inventory.

Speaking of followers, are there any recommended mods for multiple companions and/or making them essential? Also, is there any other way to move stuff around for aHud/oHud other than MCM? It's so terribly slow. Fake Edit: And earlier this year I was steered away from the Armory on the grounds that it had a whole lot of poo poo and it suffered for it. Is this still the case, or has it been improved and cleaned up and stuff?

I don't know what you mean. 2.5 was a huge emphasis on quality and we've only been fixing, improving, and adding since then. The Armory is really just a resource mod to allow people to use a large variety of weapons to suit their character needs or their own preferences. We don't cater to any specific type of player. I can, with authority, say that there really is something for everyone in it but it's up to you if you want to try it or how you want to use it. Funny how we hear feedback like that third hand though. We've always been open to it and yet never seem to get it.

I've somehow screwed up the Delay DLC mod, and the Sierra Madre broadcast isn't appearing no matter how close I get to the Abandoned Bunker. I try and enter the bunker itself but the bunker's locked. I realise that the Delay DLC mod makes you listen to the entire broadcast before the station appears permanently, but the Madre broadcast just never shows up. Is there a way to fix this that doesn't involve creating a clean save? I don't want to disable DLC and eff up my character/inventory/mods etc.
