Yeah when i was posting all that I was having a load of trouble, but it turns out it was an issue with the old Game Companion app fighting with ENB. Finally got my game ready for a new play through for this weekend. Should be fun.

The Enhanced Camera mod w/ the Weapon Animation Replacer compatibility patch is pretty great -   Also finally got my game to where I wanted it visually -  Got a pretty lean (for my standards) mod list right now of about 89 ESPs (107 total) which I plan to add TTW to. Just need to find a good tint remover mod that is compatible Also, I've made two edits to two of my favorite plugins: CCO Follower Tweaks.esm where I removed the "Fire your followers" startup message (because I got sick of seeing it every playthrough) and jsawyer.esp tweaked to A) disable (hide) the Intense Training perk since I'm a baby and don't like it, and B) disable the warning popup on first load (since I got sick of seeing it every playthrough)

Which ENB are you using now? I'm using Rudy on my current playthrough and I like it better than the others I've tried (although I had to do some manual tweaking to the interior and exterior light curves to make it play nice with ILO and to make nights sufficiently dark, respectively).

Enhanced Shaders, the one without the color changes. Everything else looks like rear end or requires a lighting preset/ILO which I was trying to avoid for this playthrough (specifically for TTW)

My problem with TTW is that the moods of New Vegas and Fallout 3 are very different from each other as far as the landscape and skies go, yet when picking weather overhaul mods you're going to be stuck usually with New Vegas weathers and lighting. Going through the DC ruins with bright blue skies and bright, vivid colors feels really weird.

Eh, the merged version of Fellout looks good for TTW.

I played FO3 a bunch before FNV came out and I really liked it, but the few times I played FNV with TTW I was just unable to find much of interest to do in the Capitol Wasteland. Murdering everyone in Paradise Falls and that raider base in a canyon (with the Behemoth in a cage) and then the DLC is about all I can come up with.

I use Vurt's Flora Overhaul for TTW, which brings the two back together, mood-wise. Of course it does this by basically changing everything about the way DC feels, but I always found the ludicrously overblown desolation of DC to be rather difficult to take seriously.

I've been using TTW along with VFO and a winter mod, which combined have really made Fallout 3 come together for me. Wandering through a half-ruined DC buried in snow and covered in trees is incredibly poignant, and makes the wandering around portion of FO3 (i.e, the good part) a hell of a lot of fun.

Is there good documentation for the ENB settings in FNV? I've tweaked lots of them by trial and error, and by looking at specific advice from people making presets, but I have no idea where to find proper documentation to make arbitrary tweaks of my own.

I'd really like to see a Fallout game where people actually built things and tore down ruined buildngs instead of living in total squalor. Also they should have horses and bicycles.

Even though there's some industry returning to the wastes by the time of NV, and obviously places like Vault City with what I seem to remember as pre-fabricated structures, most people aren't going to have access to properly produced wood, insulation, or other building materials unless they canibalize existing structures. And if you're going to be doing that anyway, why not simply re-purpose the structures and live in them?

Also they should have horses and bicycles. The first two games had that. The GECK was used to build Vault City from the ground up and Shady Sands was built fresh from adobe. The pre-war buildings were still mostly lovely and people made shantytowns, but they were actively doing constructions. Shady Sands, in particular, grows to pretty large size by Fallout 2. You even start seeing fresh paved roads.

After hundreds of years those buildings would either be totally renovated or have collapsed. Plus I don't see why they don't have enough wood, there are plenty of forests in CA and turning those into wood is like stone-age technology.

Yeah, I'm not saying there isn't an abundance of wood, though I would hesitate to say that it's readily available - but sawmills? How about nails? Is anybody making this kind of poo poo out in the boonies, and away from established centers?

What I want is Fallout: Motor City set in the ruins of the Detroit-Windsor area, with ridable (and armable  ) motorcycles. With a sidecar for your companion to shoot out of.

The Industrial Revolution wasn't always a thing. Look at the way people lived in the 18th and early 19th century. 2281 should resemble 1781 more than 1961.

That's a fair answer I suppose, although I'd wonder where they're gonna get the building materials in the Mojave, or would you expect shelters similar to the Native Americans'?

They could trade for wood, especially with the NCR to the west. They could mine iron and other metals, or recycle it from pre-war junk (not as in simply salvaging garbage, but melting it down and making new metal objects). They could quarry stone and bake bricks. This is all Iron Age technology at most, and the Mojave clearly has far better technology than that considering the existence of things like Gun Runners, which manufactures new weapons.

Horses are extinct I think. Really I think they are going too far forward with the timeline, it's been over 200 years, everything still looks like 20 years after the bombs fell. You can't say that people are just willing to sit on their rear end eating radroaches thinking, "Golly this is the good life! Let's never rebuild civilizations again!"

He has the imagery of Ancient Rome, but none of the basis that it operated on. In terms of society and capability, imagine the Golden Horde with none of the Mongolian civilization to back it up. As ropekid said in the main thread (corroborating Arcade's dialogue), Caesar wants to treat invading New Vegas as his own crossing of the Rubicon and use that as his foothold to create New Rome. Also, the NCR simply has to have industry and mining to operate. People often forget how many steps are required to produce even a single cartridge of ammunition from scratch.

Making a single cartridge is trivial, it's being able to reproduce that exact cartridge a million times with very small tolerances that's hard.

Is the original post still relevant with all the neat new mods? I'd love to read through 500+ pages of discussion to find out if this is the case, but admittedly, that would take most of a day and I don't really wanna take most of a day.

I'm talking being able to make one from scratch. Not scrapping pre-war stuff or post-war junk to melt down into brass and lead, but actually being able to manufacture it from the ground up. You need mines for all the requisite metals and chemicals like sulfur (potassium nitrate requires some medieval-era processing methods), chemistry knowledge and labs to make the primer compound, and machinery to turn all the raw materials into a casing, bullet, and primer and mate them all together. And unless you've got all the mines and factories and laboratories in the same village, you're going to need means to transport everything around that isn't backpacks and strapping bags to brahmin. Calling it "trivial" is speaking from a modern perspective where the resources and tools needed are everywhere and cheap. To even begin production of cased ammunition requires infrastructure.

Perhaps there are still Horses, but they're restricted in movement to the middle states. Maybe in Wyoming or the Dakotas the horses run free... Or maybe I'm projecting my desirable outcome for the Great Khans with the ending where they leave the Mojave and carve out a kingdom in Wyoming. Khans riding mutant horses across the flatlands!
