I'm not a huge fan of ENB presets, yet still a huge fan of ENB itself. Especially with SweetFX.

Every preset I've played with always had something I felt needed tweaking. Endless tweaking. I-should-be-working-now tweaking. And for someone like myself with little knowledge about exactly what effect tweaking X preset will have on the game, this becomes a little frustrating.

So, I searched on SweetFX settings for assistance and found: http://sweetfx.thelazy.net/?p=137 Much like NVConfigurator, it's an interface to tweak your SweetFX settings without the bewildering array and haphazard interaction of .ini/.txt files. Very handy. Hope it helps someone.

Also, Road Report: my extreme loading screen issue likely stemmed from a TTW/MCM conflict, an issue that has been addressed in the latest version of TTW.

Is there any preset that isn't an overly contrasted mess and looks generally 'normal but better'?

The default ENB preset enabled Good Shadows (TM), some other effects, and removes the orange tint, which is good enough IMO. You won't be getting skyrim-quality ENB for New Vegas, and any preset out there usually has a ton of issues (bleeding around the edges of the image, transparency nonsense) or is just a pain in the rear end to get working.

I use Realistic Wasteland Lighting (files only) + Realistic Wasteland Lighting (ENB esp) + the default ENB preset and it looks pretty good.

Quick mod question.

I downloaded this mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/47488/

Used the Project Nevada edition for the visors. The problem is the red/black outcast version of the armour (the one I like!) refuses to display the visor in first person once I exit and reload the game. The reskinned normal armour in the mod doesn't have this issue, nor do any other helmets I have. Any ideas on whats up?

:edit:

Fixed with copious use of FNVE

Project Nevada looks really cool and it changes many things, but I'm wondering what it DOESN'T change so there's no conflict with other stuff

I assume PN doesn't change karma so I can use Color Me Evil, Perks/Traits so I can use Expanded Traits and locations so I can use NVInteriors Project/Custom houses/Roleplay-Start ?

I've installed the Secret Stash and the radio extender mod, and the songs play but there's often really long stretches of silence between songs. Did I gently caress something up or is it supposed to be like that

These children have taught me how to believe.
I made a mod that adds a 9mm pistol with 10mm pistol stats that uses 10mm ammo. I want to set it up so it uses the WMX silencer mod, and I've set up the "mod info" tab on my new gun to be exactly the same as the 9mm pistol with fallout.esm and weaponmodsexpanded.esm loaded ahead of my file. When I load it in game, it doesn't work, and when I open the GECK again, it erased most of the changes I made. Has anyone else run into issues making weapon mods stick?

WMX's main plugin isn't an esm, and that's why you're having that problem; the game itself doesn't care if masters are esps or esms, but the GECK does, for whatever reason. You'll need to either temporarily "esmify" WMX in FNVEdit, or use this fork of the GECK Power-up. Or just do it all in FNVEdit.


Edit: Yep, and WMX doesn't use esms for anything, to be clear.

Anyone had trouble with jsawyer, CCO, and Expanded traits producing duplicate traits? Some traits are listed multiple times and have three or four different versions. Some are just straight duplicates. Tried uninstalling expanded traits but I'm still getting the problem. Already sorted and did a merged patch multiple times. After trying to fix it for a while I thought, oh well, I'll just pick one and now my character has somehow acquired two different versions of the skilled trait, one that gives 20% less xp and and one that gives 30% less. Haven't played long so its not a huge deal, but I'd rather not have to take out those two mods because otherwise its pretty great and TOTW is amazing.

CCO has patches for that. Probably Expanded traits doing it, you should probably just run JSawyer + CCO unless you feel like editing it in FNVEdit.

You've got DarnUI installed but you haven't edited the Fallout.INI to reflect the font changes DarnUI needs.

If you have edited the Fallout.INI to reflect the changes, then something (possibly by trying to launch the game through Steam) caused those changes to be overwritten.

There are 2 different inis that game uses depending on how you launch the game.

quote:

If using the launcher, edit Fallout_default.ini in the game dir to get these settings to stick. The launcher resets the ini to the values from this file. Backup the original first.
If you're bypassing the launcher, you can edit Fallout.ini directly: "My Documents\My Games\FalloutNV\Fallout.ini". Backup the original first.
If neither method works, try editing My Documents\My Games\FalloutNV\FalloutPrefs.ini instead. This seems to work for some people.


One of them is bound to work.

If you use Mod Organizer, you'll have to edit MO's own version of those files, otherwise it won't work. They can be found in /Mod Organizer/profiles/[profile name].

You can also edit them from within MO itself, or you can add an ini tweak to the mod.

Question about TTW. Right now I just plan on loving around in FO3 stuff but if I later decide to actually go to NV and add a bunch of say, cut content or quest mods at that point is it more likely than not that I will gently caress my save? Should I pick out and install NV specific mods now before I even start a save file?

The new LOOT interface is absolutely bizarre - feels like I'm using an android app in an emulator. In fact I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it is. No real complaints and it certainly looks nicer than your average windows app but all those icons and overflow menus feel mighty incongruous.

Also I followed the Fear and Loathing guide which took me hours, fired up the game and was handily reminded that New Vegas has always and will always look and play super ropey no matter how many mods you layer on top of it. Removed the enhanced camera mod and the clunk is slightly less but definitely omnipresent, especially coming from Witcher 3. Think I'll persevere with it though; I feel like playing through the game again and finally getting to do Lonesome Road.

Because you can't use both at the same time; even the Convergence patch only works by removing overlapping content. Specifically the ranged weapon mods from WMX, because if it was the other way around and it removed the overlapping content from WME, there'd be nothing of WME left.

For my part, I can say with complete impartiality that WMX is the best at everything and you should totally use it. :haw:

That's actually what I'm doing, I'm running Convergence, but as Antistar01, creator of WMX posted above, you lose out on every non-melee and unarmed WMX modification when you use Convergence.
Because of that I was hoping that WME's ranged weapon modifications were the better ones as I didn't want to be missing out. I'm going to guess that I am missing out, seeing how much more popular WMX is in both downloads and endorsements.

If you don't mind me asking, how did the WMX-WME combo come about? I've read that it had something to do with energy weapons and EVE, but I didn't really get the full gist if it.

I use both, but ya you have to edit WMX and that's not something a beginner should try. If you want mods for melee and ranged get WMX if you don't care for melee then WME is probably the better option.

Just finished NV for the first time after 62 hours played. Used a wide selection of visual upgrades, but nothing that really affected content or game-play (except Project Nevada).

Any suggestions for a run of new mods for a second play through? I'm thinking something with more missions, JESawyer mod and some other things.
