MariusLecter posted:Did a full read through of Viva New Vegas and at the section where they say to avoid Monster Mod and IWS. The final time I used IWS I had to rush directly to Forlorn Hope whenever I was in the general area, because the mod would consistently spawn a bunch of cazadors in the middle of the camp. I ended up just keeping the enemy spawner feature toggled off whenever I was anywhere near the southeast. Also doesn't the save bloat get really bad?

Most likely, but I pushed on through full playthroughs before with both running. Even with AWOP but that was fun once, never again cause it's just tedious now. What I really want to do is recreate a condition from a few years back when Lombard Station would have an army of ghouls protecting the entrance. That was, no joke, a lot of fun for me.

If you want more action in the wasteland you might want to check out these mods, all of which increase enemy variety, quantity and spawn points, but do so in a much cleaner way than older mods: Mojave Wildlife Mojave Raiders The Living Desert I believe they're all already included in VNV by default.

Thanks. I had already updated my version of Living Desert the other day. Wild Life mod with FO3+No Chance Spawns seems good tho. And raiders always seem under represented. e; Really liking these Colt and Ruger revolvers https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/70207 See one in action in the mp4 i posted above.

Personally, a lot of those changes are for the worse. The old textures aren't perfect but they have character and ironically more definition than the new ones give them. The death claws are also a lot less freaky with the new textures, and most of the armor looks washed out and less vibrant.

The creature changes are pretty hideous in my opinion, especially the deathclaws which are awful. I'd use the metal armour though because I hate the default

I like the Gecko but not the deathclaws. But Upgrades from the Commonwealth has the fantastic Fallout 4 Deathclaw model so I use that instead.

Welp I'm locked inside my house again. Time to boot up the game, go for a new character with a gimmick I never did before, give up right after primm, press the "new game" button and recreate my NCR/independant survivalist with a hunting shotgun for the 1612836th time.

That video is a great example of an issue that plagues a vast amount of texture mods: loss of implied detail. While the default textures are blurry, they convey this sense of depth and detail, wear-and-tear, hints of reflections etc. Meanwhile you've got the modded textures, whose graphical fidelity is certainly higher, but aesthetically they lose something. They feel overly flat and clean. They look nice when you're zooming in on them, but if you put the vanilla and modded textures next to each other and observe them from a distance, the defaults will often appear to be higher-quality. This is not about all texture mods, there are plenty out there that beat the vanilla textures in both aesthetics and graphical fidelity. The various aMidianborn texture mods for FNV and Skyrim are my favorite examples of this. Also I have to admit I giggled in surprise when I saw the deathclaw retex, the human skull motif was just a bit too much for me. It also unnecessarily anthropomorphicizes the face, which has the consequence of making the face seem somewhat flatter when viewed from the front. That said I thought the geckos were nice!

I'm currently doing a TTW playthrough using this guide, plus a few extra mods. It's been annoyingly unstable; freezing up every hour or so. I went into FNVEdit to see if any of the mods I added were conflicting with the others in a bad way, but nope.

2house2fly posted:Oh poo poo I forgot to install Monster Mod before. Anyone have experience with the "lore edition" that's on the nexus? Didn't realize Monster Mod Wasteland Edition wasn't on Nexus anymore. Monster Mod Additions does some work to rename monster mod stuff to be lorefriendly-er but I can see how a Xenomorph from the Alien franchise renamed to Evolved Wanamingo might not cut it for you.  From the Lore Edition mod description it seems fine if you're into LORE FRIENDLY content. And from the posts page about said mod... quote:I'm getting odd creatures labelled as Deathclaws, like a werewolf and a little shelled creature with spikes for front legs, ect.. quote:It seems to have a lot of errors in leveled lists and references based on FNVEdit. quote:This doesnt appear to be too lore friendly? Ive encountered gecko deathclaws, gigantic wolves, pumas, etc etc. Ive even encountered a Snork from the stalker games (it was renamed to "feral ghoul crawler") quote:Any chance of a version that fixes the levelled lists, too? I'm not keen on a Giant Mutated Wolf wandering through Goodsprings and annihilating Sunny Smiles before I even finish Back in the Saddle. You might want to pass on this for now. Track the mod to see how the author updates this.

I would recommend extracting to your data folder manually, using FOMM, Wrye Bash, or NMM. Not sure why you're having trouble with Vortex though as it is better than MO2 in every way. No thanks.

Has anyone any experience with the hideously named Immersive Hit Reactions? The concept is really neat, but I wonder if it wouldn't make combat against single targets trivial by letting you almost stunlock them.

I've done some testing with it so far and yeah, it's pretty cool, especially when mixed with Ragdoll. Only thing that I think I'm a little skeptical of is the way it affects the players. I've lowered the animation time in the ini but it still feels pretty disorienting.

I tried it but was not a fan of the constant NPC knock down. Felt too cheap for me, I really should have just tweaked the chance down with the set but I was trying a whole bunch of new mods at the time and was too lazy.

I'm doing a clean install for the first time in two-ish years using VNV as my guide, but I still need my Lombard Station, my 1897 shotgun, and (hopefully) my duds from Spice of Life. I'm also finally, after all these years, ditching Project Nevada and going with JSawyer. I know PN is a disaster, but it's always been my kind of disaster. Time for something new, I guess.

Anyone know if there’s a Viva New Vegas-like guide for Fallout 3? I’m finally switching over to MO2 and am trying to get solid “base” installs of F3, NV, and F4 going. F4 and New Vegas are mostly done. Also, any good Reshade presets out there for Fallout 3 and New Vegas? I’m mostly interested in stuff like god rays and some good ambient occlusion. Maybe even some bokeh depth of field.

TTW is a way more difficult method of getting F3 to run.

I love Lombard Station, but it really starts to lag at the end of a really long and thorough playthrough. I'm not sure if it's just because it's displaying hundreds of ammo boxes or something else, but at the end of my most recent playthrough it was a coin flip if going in would have it "merely" chugging or actually running at 1 frame every 10-15 seconds. Reloading would fix it for the most part, but I kind of worry that it's not good for completionist runs.

I tend to fill the place up with food and ammo and it's fine. A while back a goon was reworking it and it looked really good, but he let it go. Too bad, too. I liked his changes.

Is there any reason I shouldn't use JSawyer along with YUP? VNV uses JSawyer Ultimate Edition (first mod in VNV's Gameplay module), an unofficial fanmade version that seeks to expand on the original plugin. It's built for compatibility, which is helpful when you've got a big install like VNV's. I personally like it, but I know there are several people here who don't (particularly because of the name, which I understand). IIRC classic JSawyer overwrites many of the edits YUP makes, while JSawyer Ultimate has them built in for compatibility's sake. ThaumPenguin fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Nov 3, 2020 |

There's a pretty thorough changelog on the Nexus. The basics is that yes, it's JSawyer but modular and more comprehensive, although for some reason it also includes the .22 LR restoration for the Varmint Rifle that I had to mod out with FNVEdit (it's not super-hard, and most people probably won't care tbh).
