Are there any overhauls to this game that drastically lower the amount of encounters/town npcs? I want something where its rare to see another person and I can just stroll along listening to music and looting forgotten towns without fighting every 40 seconds. It would be cool to see someone every 30 minutes or so and wonder if they are friendly or not instead of the current killing 15 dudes in 2 minutes.

Agents are GO! posted:Just use Mod Organizer, it apparently works well with NV, and has LOOT and Nexus integration. Yea it's nothing but errors and red triangles for me.

Any time I think I get it and try to RUN it I get an access denied error. * Loot tells me I have 15 errors, then suggests I clean each one with NVEdit. NVEdit looks more complex than an Access database, so gently caress that. In truth, gently caress New Vegas and the whole mod scene for me  I think I'm just going to stick to being really bad at Planetside 2, and suck at it until they shut the lights off at I'll say this about one mod, the New Vegas Skies mod: wow. So pretty, but half of it makes the game pretty lovely. Night time is dark as poo poo and you can barely see your nose in front of your face.

It basically makes it so you can look up at a pretty, starry sky, but you bumble around in the dark. Enemies can still see you like it's vanilla night, and they can traverse the ground the same. It's odd that New Vegas is older than Skyrim, newer than Fallout 3, but has fewer mods made than both of those. I don't know what the bugs are, what they mean, or how to fix them. MO gives me all these errors that are nothing but a long string of incoherent syntax with a red triangle, and I don't know what the gently caress FNVEdit wants me to do. Alter hexidecimal of the mods so they jive with others? Also, DarnifiedUI doesn't line up. The main menu and my ammo/condition indicator in the lower right corner of the screen are all jumbled and piled onto each other. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv lite_sleepr fucked around with this message at 07:41 on Feb 17, 2015 |

^^^^ You just have to power through and debug your problems one at a time. That's always been my experience. Does anyone know about a weapon's 'Object' effect being applied twice on a dismemberment? I created a little esp to make throwing weapons appear on enemies hit by them, but now that I'm testing it, it seems like whenever I dismember someone two copies of the throwing weapon gets added. The same thing happens whether they were alive or dead when I hit them, normal hit = 1, dismemberment hit = 2. This would mean that you get double the chance to retrieve legion coins from dismembered enemies whenever you use coin shot (which BTW I think happened when I was investigating how to do this, but I had written it off as my mistake).

PRESIDENT GOKU posted:Yea it's nothing but errors and red triangles for me. MO gives me tons of errors like Don't get discouraged! Modding can make your great games better, even though it can be intimidating. I mean, that's why we're here. First, the 4gb thingy, is your steam install in Program Files? You should move it out of there, because the windows UAC poo poo will gently caress with stuff in Program Files even when you tell it not to. Secondly, cleaning mods is simple. Clean the mods it wants you to clean in order, from top to bottom. Open FNVEdit, and make sure only the file you want to clean is checked and hit okay. FNVEDIT will load only that mod and its prerequisites. Wait until it says "Background loader finished" at the bottom. Right-click on your file, select "Apply filter for cleaning." Wait until that is done. Right click again, select remove Identical to Master/ITM. Right click one last time, select Undelete and Disable. Close FNVEdit, and save. Repeat on the next one. As for the incomprehensible jargon, paste it here for use and we'll help. That's why we're here. And my theory is that there's less mods for NV than 3 or Skyrim is because there was such a short lead time between NV and Skyrim. NV mods do benefit from the fact that it shares most of an engine with Oblivion and 3, because its mods are much more polished.

There 's actually a total conversion you should check out for this sort of thing. Non-lovely answer: There's no way to produce that feeling with the map size what it is. When you can run from one end of the game world to the other in 30 minutes, you're by necessity going to run into > zero NPCs during that time. That being said, I'm sure there's some way to completely disable random spawns, but I'm not sure anyone's actually written such a mod.

Seashell Salesman posted:I do have the ENB wrapper in there, but it's the most recent version AFAIK (downloaded a couple weeks ago). However, renaming it did completely fix the crash. Is there some other version I should be using? Can you give me a concrete version number? No worries, and I don't know on the version number thing, sorry. ENBs are enough of a pain to fiddle with that I'd say it'd be easiest to just use the one you want, and rename the dll when you want to run the GECK.

I love darker nights, it means I actually have to use that Cateye I always have a stockpile of. I got a great sense of unease roaming around Old World Blues popping Cateye and Ghost Sight, noticing that my supplies of both were running low and that I didn't have the crafting ingredients to make any more.

I wanted to avoid this as it is an SSD with only 128GB, but I might appreciate faster load times now that it's going on the SSD. The location of New Vegas will be C:/Games/Steam. No more x86 Program Files retardery. I plan on installing everything into the Games/Steam/New Vegas folder. Mod Organizer directories will be in there too.

As for the 4GB file, can you post a picture of the window where you're trying to input the path? With the path already added, of course. About the ini editing, I think Program Files has a tendency to just add the copy protection right back again because Microsoft hates us all.

It wouldn't matter if you're using MO since it creates its own environment for the target app to run inside. I also don't think it's wise to install MO on top of the FONV install, just let it go to its default install path.

Correct, the config files in the FONV install will not be used if you are using MO. MO by default runs with the admin 'compatibility' option (mandatory elevation on launch) so the only thing you'd need to do if MO is having trouble saving the file is to a) ensure that the path actually exists and b) that it's not readonly.

PRESIDENT GOKU posted:But jt will default to x86 program files, and everything will gently caress up. it's fine. Program files is not the ultimate evil folder. My NV Is installed there (default steam dir) and FOMM/MO/etc all that poo poo, same (default, because  ) and it works fine. If you want to use c:\games\falloutNV\ and c:\games\Mod Organizer\ or whatever, sure, no problem. But it's not like Progfiles will literally cause everything to break forevermore unless something else is also wrong.There's no harm in keeping it outside just to be safe, but there's zero reason you can't keep everything at their default locations either. Maybe I'm reading too much into your posts but you are reading the documentation on all of this stuff carefully and trying one step at a time, right? The one thing that's universal about mods is they are very bad at diagnosing errors for you. Install FNV4GB, make sure that works. Add NVSE, same. Add MO, continue. It's laborious but it's also (mostly) a one-time thing.

Just install to C:\games. I put Mod Organizer either above the new vegas folder (C:\games\falloutnv and C:\games\modorganizerNV) or inside the Fallout folder itself (c:\games\falloutnv\modorganizer) Installing to Program Files can gently caress up on newer versions of Windows (8, 8.1) and/or versions of Windows with UAC running. I'd also run MO as administrator. I have issues after running the Launcher through MO where it resets the Read Only flag on Fallout.ini (within the MO profile folder) to read only every time, but only if I run the launcher.

I have zero problems with Program Files under Windows 8 and 8.1 and 10 will be identical in that regard. I don't do anything special and I don't know where this mythology about that one directory comes from. Having to elevate to do stuff isn't a bug or an problem.

This hasn't been true since Vista if it was even true then (and it was wildly overblown at the time). That said, I agree about forcing MO to run as an administrator because when I used it for Skyrim it always got weird about elevating, so I just checked the "always run as admin" thing in the shortcut and done, never to be an issue ever again. (also in case anyone gets the idea: don't disable UAC. That is a terrible idea.)

Things seem to be running a *lot* smoother now. However, I'm running into a problem when trying to get NVSE and the 4GB things to work. Here's what I've done so far: * Installed the NVSE per instructions and put it in my /New Vegas directory. * Installed the 4GB files (only the helper.dll and the 4GB.exe file) into the /New Vegas directory as well. Finally, another problem I'm having is when I use the NVSE to launch the game through MO, my game always loads in letterbox mode. I have launched New Vegas through steam to get the main options window to come up, and I have changed the resolution to 1920x1080, but for some reason MO and NVSE keep launching the game in letterbox. I try to edit the combobox as shown:  but I get the following error:  Additionally, my nevada skies mod doesn't seem to be working. See below to see if I'm doing anything wrong:
