You might wanna try uninstalling and reinstalling it. I let it install to it's usual C:/Games/ directory or whatever the gently caress is default.

You could try using CFF Explorer to avoid the 4GB exe. There's a short walkthrough for using the tool with Europa Universalis 3 here, but it should work with your New Vegas exe. I use this myself, but this is New Vegas, so YMMV.

I know that there's an unlimited companion mod, but is there one that scales down the damage dealt by your companions and their total hit points? I'd like to run with a small gang like I did in Fallout 1 & 2, but at the same time I don't want my team to trivialize the game's difficulty. If there isn't one, would scaling the difficulty up to Very Hard be a sufficient way of preserving the challenge?

Well, I'm an idiot. I know I modified the exe, but I must have done something afterward to force it to re-download.

By all accounts, it does a good job of increasing the number of companions you can have but balancing it out by nerfing their damage so they don't outshine the player. It might be what you're looking for.

Cirosan posted:CCO's Follower Tweaks component halves the damage that companions deal, but also makes them only take half damage themselves. Like Fallout 1 and 2, CCO also makes it so that the number of companions you can have with you is based on your Charisma (1 companion for every 2 points of Charisma, for a maximum of 5) as opposed to always being fixed at one humanoid companion and either ED-E or Rex. Finally, it makes it so that companions don't have unlimited ammo any more - you have to supply them out of your own pocket. However, you can re-enable their unlimited ammo weapons if you want. This is actually exactly what I was looking for! The other modules look interesting too so I'll have to read through the manual a bit more. Thanks for hooking me up!

I was thinking of playing New Vegas after a long break and was going through which mods I wanna get. J.E. Sawyer's Overhaul looks really interesting, but had a question regarding it. Now, I don't mind losing a lot of health and such, but does the mod also lower enemy health? Or are they still huge ammo soaking healthballoons while only player gets adjusted down to the endurance level of a wet paper bag?

They still take .223 to the eyes without flinching, but it's not FO3 Wanderer's Edition style instadying. Eyeballing it from my own game on normal, you're about as durable as a veteran grunt of some sort and proper armor is much more important, especially against small calibers and shotguns. You want some Med-X and companions to screen some damage whenever you're outnumbered by shooty opponents. It owns is what I'm getting at.

That's mostly to slow down exp rate though, which seems to have been looked at on the mod anyway. I just went straight for normal now with the Sawyer mod so it'll probably be fine. No error messages or crashes from my latest install yet

I would definitely recommend playing the modded game on "normal." Even though I usually play games on "hard", the New Vegas version of "hard" just fucks around with the damage you do and the damage you take. This exacerbates bullet-sponginess, and can be counter-productive when using mods that try to address this problem.

If I'm using jsawyer, will the WMX mod interfere with it? Is there a way to make the Grunt perk work with GRA weapons? Also, regarding the Underground Hideout mod near Bonnie Springs: How long does it take for you to get the things you order through Crimson Caravan Online? And where is it delivered?

What gives, I finally got around the whole issue with the New Vegas Mod Manager not working by using the Nexus Mod Manager and set the custom launcher there to the 4 GB patch. But when I get in game, the screenshots and achievements are gone like before. I heard it not suppose to be causing this, so why is Steam saying I'm "in-game" and counts the time played, but doesn't let me get the achievements or take any screenshots (ones I took before when it was doing this don't appear with the other ones).

Do achievements work if you load FNV4GB_NVSE directly, or through FALLOUT Mod Manager? (I never tried a screenshot and most of the game-specific Steam stuff doesn't work through either FNV4GB... although achievements do, if my experience is worth anything.) Also I have no idea if you use the console, but if you so much as bring it up (you don't even have to type the first character of a command), achievements are locked out until you quit and restart. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Sep 20, 2012 |

And the screenshots don't show any of the ones I took and if I do take a picture, it's treated as a separate game then normal.

If I've randomly installed a bunch of mods without FOMM and some with FOMM and would like to start from scratch and make it all FOMM... what do I do? I don't want to delete my DLC though. Don't know how to do this efficiently and quickly.

Xachariah posted:If I've randomly installed a bunch of mods without FOMM and some with FOMM and would like to start from scratch and make it all FOMM... what do I do? The somewhat painful way is to rename/move/delete your /data, folder, redownload/validate from steam. You may want to do this if only so you can make a back up of the vanilla game (I did this and it's been useful). Then install via FOMM. Alternatively, deactive all mods in FOMM's package manager, then go and clear out any files still in there that aren't related to the DLC's. Revalidate from steam after doing this in case you deleted anything you should not have. For the most part, most of the vanilla stuff is all in .bsa files, but you might still delete stuff you shouldn't. Additionally, you could add the missing mods to FOMM, activate them and overwrite the existing things. I'd probably just start with a clean install, but I've already got a back up of the vanilla game/dlc.

I'd happily trade those for the game not crashing after half an hour. Also, Rirse, total playtime is still saved and shows up on FNV's library page, and two weeks' time in your profile page. It just only shows session time in the overlay. (As an aside: People seem to think that Steam's playtime tracker is wildly inaccurate. If you consider it goes by program uptime instead of savefile times, it's basically dead-on. In the case of New Vegas, anyway. Unfortunately Steam can't track whether the game's been left open while you went to work or ate dinner or had to reload it fifty thousand times because of a bad mod or something.) And you can still save screenshots, and pull 'em out of %Steam%\userdata\[some number]\760\remote\0\screenshots at leisure, like a non-Steam game with an overlay on.

Sort of dumb question but I haven't played much New Vegas (or fallout really) and set aside my short bit into NV for some other stuff, but forgot where I was and decided to start over! Besides the Hardcore mode (which didn't appear to be particularly difficult even after I dumped the canteen/flask into storage), is there any particular mods to make it somewhat more [b]harsh[/]? You know, blasted post-apoc and all that. Or any general mods for play? The OP is mostly broken up by types. If it matters I have the NV pack with the DLC that went up on steam some time ago.

O lawd the Sawyer mod is punishing the little hoarder inside me. All those pretty duct tapes and wonderglues I must leave behind to walk their paths alone in this cruel world  Loving it though, my inventory has never been this clean. Got a weird little bug, which I don't really know if it's even related to any mod. If I start the game and try to load my recent saves, it just hangs on loading screen forever. However I can either start a new game or load a save from early game, which load fine, and then load my recent saves without any problems. Maybe its some kind of "too much poo poo to load" error? But only memory intensive mod I use is the NMC medium graphics thing and I'm using the 4 GB mod. No difference if I drop the 4 GB one. Not that I really care if it's caused by a mod, it's so easy to circumvent that I wouldn't stop using anything because of it. Just wondering what's causing it.

All the things you get from the Courier's Stash DLC also make the early game really trivial. Sawyer mod gives you none of that poo poo, and instead spreads the DLC items into specific places in the wasteland. Also if you're planning on mods to install, I can recommend NMC texture pack + Project Reality + Vurts plants and trees and whatever mod (dead) combination for the environment. I'm going with those at the moment and they make the game pretty
