I had Active Spawns turned on and it would spawn approximately 50 ghouls every time I reloaded my game. I had to revert to a save that hadn't made it to Novac yet but thankfully that was easy thanks to CASM. Also I would chill out on all those 'fixes' you have. I also find it strange you have so many .esps for retextures. SolidSnakesBandana fucked around with this message at 15:18 on Sep 11, 2014 |

EDIT: Alright I editted this roughly a million times now as I poke, prod, install, and pray to the gods I didn't initiate our thermonuclear apocalypse by accident but I think I almost have it down. I installed FOMM and got it running, I have Better Game Performance working with FOMM so I guess that's all good and well. Now for some trickier questions. I downloaded NVSE and put the files in the new vegas directory as directed by the mod. Can I run FOMM and it will run NVSE automatically or do I need to launch it via NVSE_loader from now on? On a seperate note after some finagling and testing I can see NVAC installed and runs fine. If I'm not making sense I can try to simplify things. Simplified version is I installed FOMM, got Better Game Performance running with it. I have NVSE extracted and inside my new vegas folder, can I run FOMM and it will automatically run NVSE despite not being in the auto load list? I see a 'Launch NVSE' button over on the right so I assume that's it? Blackray Jack fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Sep 11, 2014 |

Blackray Jack posted:EDIT: Ok, I'm functionally retarded when it comes to computer acrobatics such as this. I've installed FOMM and have it running. I've put in all the NVSE files in my New Vegas folder so I think I should be ready to start installing mods. The question is, after I put things like the better game performance mod, the NVAC mod, and so on in the Data folder in the New Vegas directory, how do I get them attached to FOMM or whatever so they start once I start the game through FOMM? When you open FOMM, there will be a checklist will all the available mods. Anything checked off will be loaded at game start, anything unchecked will be skipped. If you crash on startup, it's very likely you have a missing master, which could mean it's completely absent, or just mean you need to check you load order. Some mods will have a pop up box announcing themselves when you first load the game with them active; some will make use of MCM and will be listed there when you pause the game by hitting escape. Most of the time though, mods won't have any indicator that they are running in the game; if it's active, the content/changes will simply be present.

Ok, I'm 90% sure I have everything up and running concerning all that jazz. As for actual mods themselves I heard that the vanilla game is not very good but all I have is Better Game Performance. I'm mainly looking into mods that fix bugs and glitches and broken things otherwise. So aside from the recommended performance mods on the OP, are there any unspoken ones I should get? EDIT: I'm also still having that bizarre 1 file failed whenever I do the integrity verification. Blackray Jack fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Sep 12, 2014 |

I really have no idea what it could be or what I could start disabling. Here's my load order: For starters, you are loading multiple esps for the same mod. Mojave Extended, use only one. CCO - Ulysses, use only the all dlc patch. Next, you don't have a Bashed Patch? Get Wrye and fix that asap. Also make sure that you remove the levelled lists from the Merged Patch, Bash is better at this. Finally, run LOOT. Also, it's a good idea to use the memory patch. Create a file called "nvse_config.ini" ,without the quotes, and put it in your data/nvse directory. Open it with a text editor of choice and copy&paste the following line into it: [Memory] DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=400 Save it and make sure it's saved as ini, not txt. Run the game and you should see a signficant improvement in terms of stability, once you have your loadorder sorted, merged and bashed.

Mortimer posted:Burning Sands is pretty good, haven't tried Rockwell Descent Thanks, gonna try it out. --- Well this is new:  This suddenly started happening when I started the game via MO, no idea why, but I assume it has something to do with all the mods I'm messing around with. The game still runs normally, despite the error message, so I'm not really sure about the implications of this. Should I just ignore it?

Okay, I promise this is the last issue I'm having. Is there a cause for certain NPCs to be naked without armour? The Atomic Wrangler guards, the Crimson Caravan guards and some Caravan guards are lacking armour and as a result run around the wasteland in their underwear. I assume this is a certain armour they're wearing that's bugged out some how? I've tried using the resurrect command but they rematerialized in their underwear again. They've still got weapons however, if that helps at all. E: disregard this, I forget to enable Roberts body and now it's fixed Hefty Leftist fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Sep 12, 2014 |

What were the panning reviews of Beyond Boulder Dam? I looked through way too many pages of this thread to see them, and I didn't see any. I haven't bothered to check it out since I'm still just loving around with basic mods, but I'm curious what the criticisms were.

I guess it's well done technically, but the gameplay is worse than the worst bits of Fallout 3. The plot is retarded, and the characters are dumb and poorly voiced. Seriously, about halfway through I had to convince myself to finish it. The people making it aped New Vegas without understanding what makes it great. Because of that, I find it loving hilarious what happened with the BBD teams Skyrim effort. When Skyrim was released, they put a ton of effort and energy into making a similarly scaled Skyrim mod, set on... Solstheim. Then Dragonborn was announced. Whoops!

I didn't find Beyond Boulder Dome to be as bad as some here have said, but it's certainly pretty rough in places. There were parts where it was unclear what I had to do to progress, and one near game-breaking bug in particular; I had to kill a particular character to get an item from him... but I had already killed him earlier. I had to use the 'resurrect' console command to bring him back to life - then kill him again - to get the item to spawn. I remember that the same thing happened to someone else here, but they couldn't resurrect the character since he had been incinerated or something. I think there may have been another way to complete this quest, but I'm not sure. Pretty bad bug, anyway. It's a huge mod, though; probably as much content as one of the official DLC episodes, or maybe more. It's often pretty imaginative, but very uneven overall. What you get out of it probably depends on your tolerance for that sort of thing.

So this mod seems decent so far. I've bumped into 3 of the quests and a random encounter. The voice acting ranges from decent to meh, but doesn't seem atrocious or anything, and nothing I've come across yet has been skeevy. Anyone else have experience with this one?

How is New Vegas Restoration these days? I remember using it a couple years back and encountering a few bugs (like Vulpes never showing up after encountering Benny and preventing me from seeing Caesar). Does it run any smoother now? Are there better mods that improve the strip? Also I'm using the Type3 body and armor replacer so I can use Spice of Life. The problem is that I now have a stupid midriff bearing leather armor. What meshes and textures do I have to replace to fix this? Like could I go and replace the .nifs in the mod files with something more sensible? Or can I just delete the leather armor references to go back to the vanilla mesh?

It has to be Type3 compatible or show no arm, leg or torso skin, however, and simply deleting it may mess up skin textures on the armour. This pack has a modest version for Type3.

Pretty much what everyone else has said: A tremendous amount of effort, ruined by terrible execution. The combat is constant and terribly unfun, as there are numerous enemies throughout the mod that posses one/two shot kill weapons if you're not wearing power armor. There is a poo poo-ton of backtracking that you need to do for the various quests, and very little of it can be solved through fast-travel. The worst thing, though, is at the end it all seems ultimately pointless-You go through a double-cross, then a double-double cross, and by the end everybody who mattered to the main plot is dead.. It's a shame, too-there's a ton of huge, expansive environments they created, lots of voice-acting, new weapons, enemies, and armor... and it's all for nothing because the game design and writing is just terrible. chitoryu12 posted:I gave up in the nuclear reactor.

Good lord that section was the worst.* It didn't help that everything was so dark that it made it hard to figure out where/how you could actually get anywhere. At least you didn't have to suffer through the ending! *Second to the slog of getting to the ZAX, now that was just a nightmare.

I'll eventually get this install to work properly. I now have a problem with the texture for a few power armors. Specifically, the Outcast T-45d and the Enclave Advanced Power Armor (FNV) look like this http://imgur.com/A73wVya. I'm guessing this is either a problem with my ENB (using Rudy) or with the specular maps for those armors. I'd try deleting the spec maps but I can't remember which file it is.

YUP fixes a lot of glitches and developer issues but it doesn't go overboard in one way or another. I also do like EVE (it's mostly effects but it still counts as gameplay..but it's very nice to have). Project Nevada is good..but it's not something I'd label as essential...but it's very very good. Populated Casinos is very good as well but it requires a strong CPU or a tamed load order. ADAM is more cosmetic but it's nice as well. Overall, Fallout New Vegas was a fantastic game and most of the issues with the game were fixed in some part by JSawyer and YUP. The rest of the mods which are currently popular are primarily cosmetic changes.
