Is there a way to get Unified HUD project working with Mod Organizer? I really like being able to handle file overwrites/etc but as far as I can tell it's FOMOD has it examine installed files and then build an XML file based on it. Edit: looks like the answer is no.  Oh well, time to go play with FOMM/NMM.Double edit: Great, now my VATS screen and my pause screen are both jacked up for different reasons. The VATS screen just doesn't have any UI at all, and the pause screen (while showing the Mod Configuration Menu) doesn't let me click on anything other than the MCM. I wish I didn't have to do everything through NMM first. I'm sure it's something with DarnUI or whatever wigging out. And third edit: Alright, so here's what's going on and I don't really know how to fix it, since I've had most of these mods working together before. For the priority order the top six mods (darnui through unified hud project) were installed in NMM and then imported to MO like someone else in the thread mentioned to do. I even went and re-did it from scratch, adding enabling DarnUI again at the end just to see if I could manually fix it, but I didn't see any VATS or main menu xmls being conflicted. Anyone have any idea wtf?    Falcon2001 fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Jan 8, 2014 |

So is there an easy way to turn on the additional options in The Armory once I've installed it? I was having trouble with it giving me errors during install last night, and now that I've got all the guns/weapons installed, I'd like to turn on the extra armor options too, but don't look forward to struggling through the uninstall/reinstall of the entire mod. Edit: Oh god. I figured it out. Well, I never really wanted to leave my computer again anyway. warrencanadian fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Jan 8, 2014 |

If I remember right it's pretty clear what values to use for setstage but a little trickier to find the quest ID. Or maybe it's just GECK being GECK, I dunno.

This is how I did it - Install Fallout Mod Manager and install the interface changing mods through FOMM thusly: 1. Darnified UI 2. Project Nevada, Patches, Extra Options 3. Latest MCM 4. One HUD (oHUD) 5. Unified HUD Then load up ModOrganizer and go to town with the rest of your mods. It sucks but the way that the MCM and HUD based mods install, no other option, really. I don't really play New Vegas without those mods, but it would be great to have a clean data directory. Oh well. quickedit: All of that is from memory, someone might want to help me out and verify that that works.

You actually got The Armory to work? I'm jealous. It crashes FOMOD for me every time, and that's with the FOMOD archive.

Darnified UI is alwaye the first thing I install. oHud should probably be just before unified hud as the immersive hud elements can break if you install it before certain things (the grenade icons never going away in PN, for example) Well, I think I've found the perfect mod for my next playthrough. http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/40171/ Rush Limbo fucked around with this message at 08:08 on Jan 10, 2014 |

I got Armory working, most of the problem was me being stupid. Anyway, I just discovered something really odd. All the music that's original to the game is now gone. There's no ambient score, nor are any of the radio stations available. Radio New Vegas and Mojave radio are gone. None of the radios or jukeboxes play music anymore, and neither station are in my pipboy anymore. I'm running the mods for the stations (Secret Stash and MRX), and I'm running CONELRAD, Existence, Radio Blues, and the mod that expands the jazz from the Sierra Madre brodcast (all of which I can still listen to) but the rest has disappeared. Anyone ever run into this?

Anyone ever run into this? Finally solved my problem with New Vegas Bounties through the magic of movetoqt, which put me in a mostly-empty version of the NE cell of Freeside. Should I notice any obvious increase in fidelity when I use the Poco Bueno pack? Things don't really look any different from when I finally got my ENB presets to work right.

You're right, it didn't. What did work is that as soon as I left the Divide I used the Transportalponder and instead of taking me to The Sink it took me to Mojave Drive-In and my radio stations were back. Weird, but it worked. Also, sadly, I didn't find my Audrey.

Heh, yeah. Audrey, when knocked out, ends up in your inventory again as a pack of seeds and plant tendrils. Then you have to hoof it to the BioEngine Research Facility and re-clone her. Doesn't look like she got whacked, and she's not in my pack, so I don't know where she is. I'll have to PM Puce Moose and get her ref id so I can move her to me.

I beat New Vegas when it first came out and shelved it. I have not played it since. I grabbed the expansions on a steam sale. For the Elder Scrolls I would once spend hours configuring and installing mods.... my tolerance for that is now non existent. I read the OP. What are the mods I should really grab, which I don't need to spend hours configuring and installing?

For the Elder Scrolls I would once spend hours configuring and installing mods.... my tolerance for that is now non existent. This tends to get asked about every 40-50 posts or so, but the easiest answer is to recommend installing mods that pretty much benefit every player, regardless of their intended experience: CASM to avoid save corruption, something like DarnUI/oHUD to adapt the HUD and menus for the PC's higher resolutions, possibly the "core" module of PN to give you things like a dynamic crosshair, grenade hotkey, and the ability to sprint, Arenovalis' Weapons Retxture Project (WRP) and NMC's textures to make the game prettier looking, FNV4GB 4GB executable to avoid "out of memory" CTDs, and New Vegas Anti-Crash (NVAC) to increase overall stability. I may be missing one or two things, but the general idea is that these sort of mods don't significantly alter the game and can be recommended to virtually everybody without having an idea what they're looking for. Beyond that, there aren't really any mods to recommend without knowing what you want out of your game. I can say that most people seem to use some combination of JSawyer, Project Nevada, and CCO as their bulk overhaul, and PN is the only one out of those three that can be tweaked a lot in-game via the Mod Configuration Menu (MCM). All of them are really easy to install and arrange with BOSS--JSawyer is a single drag/drop and PN uses a FOMOD installer. Also, a lot of people use either WMX and WME to overhaul the weapon modding system, and a weather mod.

Essential: FNVEdit, Wrye Flash, FOMM, NVSE, DarnUI, CASM (remember to disable all default auto-saving), MCM, NVAC, FNV4GB (Win8 version), NVC Recommended: NMC, Ojo Bueno, Wasteland Clothing Hi-res, Book of Water, JSawyer, IWS, Nevada Skies or Project Reality, Improved LOD, Improved LOD Noise, WRP, Precision Collision, MG NCR These are more or less dump-in-Data-and-play. If you feel like fiddling some more and reading instructions, here's the rest of my earlier post.

Diogines posted:What are the mods I should really grab, which I don't need to spend hours configuring and installing? -NVSE is't a mod for the game itself, but allows modders to get much more creative with what they can do, and lots of mods require it. Take the time for it. -CASM is a solid choice, as the vanilla save system is buggy as hell. The only configuration it requires applies to the menu in game. Requires NVSE. -NV Bounties I and II have gotten a lot of love for the amount of content they add. It's mostly "go here, kill this guy" kinds of quests, but very well done. -JSawyer tweaks the game in a few ways to make it much harsher, as envisioned by the games lead designer/SA goon Ropekid. Also, as you probably know, texture packs are usually nothing more than image files dropped into the data directory. The 4GB enabler will help with crashes if you want to use the really high rez versions of the packs. As for what it seems you'll want to avoid: -UI mods. A lot of goons swear by them, but I never had an issue with the vanilla interface. -TTW. You'll have to install Fallout 3, then run a program that basically moves all of its content into the NV directory. It's automatic, but takes forever. Most other mods won't give you many headaches, and you really only need to sort them with BOSS if you have a ton of plugins.

Look up the series New Vegas Mod Clinic, and Modding New Vegas on Youtube. They're a series of how-to videos by Gopher, the modder behind Imaginator and other good visual tweaking mods.

Raygereio posted:Open up jsawyer.esp in FNVEdit. Under gamesettings find iMaxCharacterLevel and remove it. I'm not certain if that will affect an ongoing game, you'll want to check that with the console command "getgs iMaxCharacterLevel". Wait what? I could swear that it's just a blanket XP reduction without any level threshold associated. Also, don't forget to edit some of the perks and traits. I forget which ones exactly were altered but the Logan's Loophole trait was changed to cap your level at 21 instead of 30 for example. EDIT: The weird part about this is that even if you remove the level cap from JSawyer, you've still got a lower rate of XP gain, and you need more XP to level up than in the base game (I forget what the math is, but IIRC it's something like 1.75 times the amount you originally needed to get to level 2, and then 1.75 times whatever the last amount needed to level up was, so by the time you're in the double digits you need like, thousands more XP than you did in the base game) so getting to level 50 is a lot more difficult than it was in the base game.

Raygereio posted:The XP rewards from the DLC quests aren't fixed. They're determined by a script based on your character level. Ropekid edited those scripts and reduced the XP granted at levels 35 and lower by 66%, but didn't bother also reducing the XP reward for levels above 35 because of the levelcap he introduced. Well that's good to know. I've got some editing to do. Raygereio posted:That's seperate from the levelcap. Jsawyer also editted several settings related to XPgain and the ammount of XP required to levelup. I know, I'm just saying that it's slightly weird that the level cap is even changed by the mod since those other changes already make getting up past level 35 way less of a given.

I'd guess Ropekid introduced the levelcap so that the player doesn't become a god with 100 in all skills and then messed with the XP settings so that you wouldn't hit his new levelcap too soon and stoppped gaining levels for most of the game.

As far as the screenshots are concerned, I used (all the links are in the OP): NMC texture pack (the SMALL washed out wasteland version), URWLNV with its ENB (with the palette turned off), Fallout Character Overhaul (with the OnHolyServiceBound esp activated, which provides some alternative versions of some characters' faces that aim to be closer to vanilla's spirit), Wasteland Clothing Hires, Wasteland Flora Overhaul (ESPless version). Given you're in this thread you probably already know about UI mods, but just in case, I'm using the DarnUI, oHUD combo pretty much every New Vegas player uses now. EDIT: Just as a quick note, Fallout Character Overhaul has some excellent playable races and headmeshes/textures, but the feedback on the modified NPC faces has been... mixed, as you can see from this thread. On top of that, it doesn't cover every NPC, so you might have to do some manual tinkering after installing it. Fair Bear Maiden fucked around with this message at 23:09 on Jan 12, 2014 |

Wow, thanks for the ultra-informative post. It's weird, I have mostly the same stuff installed, with the medium NMC textures (everything you mentioned except the character overhaul and flora overhaul) but I feel like my game doesnt look nearly as good. Come to think of it my resolution is maxed at 1600x900 so maybe its that. Gonna try disabling the pallete in the ENB and see if that does anything.
