Oh wow they have a solution to oHud not working without FOMM finally. I asked gopher about a year ago how to use oHud/uHud with Mod Organizer and he replied "Don't"

Mod Organizer is, bare none, the best mod manager for New Vegas; however, it has a steeper learning curve than the other mod managers. If you go this route (and you should), check Gopher's Mod Organizer tutorial. Once you get used to some of its eccentricities, using anything else will be painful especially if you're the kind of person who likes swapping mods in and out.

If you want something simpler that works, you should get FOMM - Fork.

There's basically no reason to use Nexus Mod Manager or Wrye Flash NV. Well, the latter has Bashed Patch functionality, but that's another thing altogether.

Wrye Flash NV is loving amazing. Bashed patches are 100% necessary once you start doing very large installs.

Can't you make bashed patches with TESVedit?

Just got ENB installed and running, looks good until I turn around. For some reason every time my character turns my world disappears and looks like this. Can you guys think of any settings that may be causing this?





Edit: Fixed. If anyone else has this problem just disable the steam overlay.

You can make merged patches, which are far less powerful and flexible. They are best for small installs.

As someone who knows nothing of modding: MO was kinda tricky at first, but is extremely amazing and just makes the whole experience awesome when learned. I sometimes just enjoy modding games more than actually playing it.

You can set custom bashed tags for all of your mods which tell it exactly what to and what not to import. LOOT also recommends bashed tags which are useful for each mod, if you've ever wondered what the green text below each mod in LOOT is. Merged patches just push forward differences which can lead to issues with certain mods or lots of mods.

Bashed patches also merge patch mods into the one patch .esp, which can save huge amounts of space in your load order. In my load order my bashed patch has over 50 mods merged into it, and with custom tagging I have basically no conflicts between my 300+ mods (130 plugins to stay under the soft cap).

Yes I spent way too long modding this game.

Is there any way to reduce the difficulty of the Capital wasteland super mutants in TTW? I tried the option in the mod manager, bit it made no difference.

This may not be the answer you're looking for (and I don't know if there's a sort of TTW patch for this already, given that it seems to be a pretty common gripe) but you can probably open up the plugin(s) in FNVEdit and change the health values for DC super mutants, as well as the traits that give them their DT.

I think I got around a hundred hours over two characters on that install, and I'd still say the play:modding ratio would be less than 1.

I spent ungodly amounts of time editing mods and making custom patches.

I get the same problem sometimes, I believe DarnUI is the culprit if I remember correctly.

Also I usually get about 5-20 hours of gameplay per modding setup before I just switch to a different once. I have played the first part of Skyrim/New Vegas literally hundreds of times each.

I have about 20 mods for New Vegas and have done about four complete story playthroughs, 200 hours total. My modding process is just taking whatever looks interesting from :nexus:, dropping it in my Data folder, opening up FOMM and BOSS auto-sorting it and then launching fnv4gb.exe. :shrug:

Same, minus the BOSS. A lot of my playing was off Steam (I also have an Xbox 360 copy from before I got a computer able to handle NV), so I'm somewhere in the triple digits but not entirely clear where.

For TTW, I like the Realistic Wasteland Lighting conversion for both, it even has an ENB preset version.

However, nothing can beat Dynamic Weather for Fallout 3 for me, which is the main reason I keep a modded Fallout 3 version around, as good as TTW is.
I'm running Nevada Skies with my TTW install with additional plugins to enable the dynamic weather stuff in FO3 as well

So I went by that guide in the second post of the OP along with the beauty packs. It reads like they are essential to have a pretty game. Good lord gently caress it's universally terrible and uninstalling it completely hosed my save. Stuck in the world, almost no graphics, etc. Any way to un-gently caress that?

You talking about NVR2, NVR3, NVCE, or FCO? Honestly, I don't really appreciate the look FCO provides, but I thought NVR3 looked alright. Oh, and NVR does more than change up people's appearance, it fucks around with their inventories and whatnot. FCO and NVCE shouldn't affect your saves. What all did you uninstall? What was your load order?

It was the Mitoko one or whatever linked in the post about how to get stuff running pretty. IE Cloud Strife hair on that Crimson Caravan guy in Goodsprings, etc. The base file for that was up near the top, probably 8 or 9 with the submods of it halfway to bottom ish. I just let the LOOT program sort stuff. But with the base esm out of the picture it seems to have just hosed the save six ways from sunday. Clip into the world in a single spot, geometry's all hosed up, etc. I thought it might just be a one off thing with the Goodsprings guy as a joke but holy gently caress as you go further on it just keeps getting more obnoxious. I'm really baffled why that one in particular was linked in a guide that was otherwise really good for getting the game pretty.

Did you use this mod by any chance? Just the hair mod on its own shouldn't be distributing new hair styles to NPCs, I don't think. Unless you're using a Bashed Patch and the NPC had no assigned hair already.

Like, I sure as hell hope that Wasters Overhaul wasn't linked in the OP.

Anyway, the only way to fix everything is to just delete your saves. Sorry about that.

Oh I understood that, I was playing FO3 with Dynamic Weather just prior to deciding to set up TTW ( with Nevada Skies ), and to be honest both are fundamentally the same ( I'd argue that Nevada Skies does better thunderstorms ).

Im running Project Nevada, would Nevada Skies or Realistic Lighting Overhaul work better? I had to disable Nevada Skies weather effects because running them with Project Nevada makes the weather go haywire and you get a new Radstorm or dust storm every time you exit a building into the main game world.

I don't know about him, but it seemed like even when I disabled Nevada Skies' rad/storms with the in-game inventory item, I'd still periodically get storms, especially when going from interior to exterior cells. Not a lot, but often enough to be distracting. I don't know if Nevada Skies has MCM integration now, though, because maybe it'd be more effective, but this was prior to that (if it exists now).

All that radstorm stuff was why I kept away from Nevada Skies initially; I mostly use Western Skies which just has sandstorms. Once I got a sandstorm in the Lucky 38 penthouse.

Tale of Two Wastelands is so cool! I can finally replay fallout 3 without having to give up the features of New Vegas like hardcore, ironsights,weapon mods, and an almost stable game. Point Lookout is exactly as fantastic as I remember it being, easily the best dlc of 3 and NV.
