I'm playing through New Vegas for the first time, and I liked Dead Money.

I only played Old World Blues and Dead Money so far, and while OWB was the better of thw two, I liked both a lot.

I last played Dead Money as a melee guy and it was a freaking massacre. Good times

I was melee so that definitely helped.

Beyond that im not sure if there is any big muscle man body replacers or a Kung Fu family melodrama quest mods.

Thanks! Gonna install that for sure.

The FIst of the North Star mod is too old and doesn't work. :negative:

The person behind JAM (the mod compilation that adds sprint, waypoints, etc.) released an NVSE UI plugin today that adds support for displaying inventory icons next to their names. Also fixes a sorting bug.

yUI - User Ynterface (the plugin)
ySI - Sorting Ycons

Compatible with VUI+ and Darn.

Looks cool. Honestly the inventory and UI is the worst part of the game imho.

Someone needs to make mod with accurate Lake Mead water: there is now more water in New Vegas than in real life.

I did the whole thing to install Viva New Vegas and now everything looks super fuzzy. Any idea how to fix that?

It also seems to turn on Hardcore Mode automatically, not sure how I feel about that. My old non-Hardcore save now has Thirst/Hunger/Sleep bars.

ThaumPenguin posted:

Unless something has recently drastically changed, Viva New Vegas certainly isn't meant to default to hardcore mode. I assume you've also tested with a new save? Because you should absolutely be using VNV with a new game. Did you make absolutely sure to start with a fresh, clean install of the game without any old leftovers in the game installation folder or in the FalloutNV folder in Documents/My Games? I have to assume you did not, as you still have access to your old saves. Is the game installed in a Program Files folder?

Starting a new game doesn't have the weird blur, and I think it's one of the UI mod that adds the Hardcore Mod UI even if the game isn't necessarily in Hardcore mode.

I really should start a new game, huh? Sad I was pretty far in with this one.

Which UI mod does vnv use. There should be an option in mcm to turn them off

There is, that's how I found out it was the mod adding them.

I think you still see the bars in the pip boy even when they're turned off though.

yeah my guess is that you just kind of went ahead and slammed on the stuff from the overhauls section of VNV without understanding what it would do or something

idk, i didn't find survival to be very painful an addition on my jsue first-time run of new vegas with some tweaks so veronica didn't permadie and stuff.

Lol you're right that's exactly it. I didn't want to mess up so I didn't deviate at all from the instructions.

Wonder if I shoudl just turn those off.

I tried starting a new game as Kenshiro and it seems like the Viva New Vegas mods skip the screen where you can change display options so unless I play modless I'm stuck with a lovely stretched mess.

One day I'll actually finish the game instead of starting new characters.

My first character I couldn't finish because of upgrading to Viva New Vegas (I had different mods before).
Since then I got a bunch of weird builds I never took to the end.

Thanks! I'll look into how to add it to Viva New Vegas. I'm a ttrpg fallout campaign and want to find a way to play my ghoul sniper in New Vegas.

After downloading that make sure to grab the cleaned .esp file from here:

And this mod adds additional voice lines that reflect the player being a ghoul:

Honestly I never really got intot rying mods until recently so following a guide helps me. I had a hard time installing viva new vegas so now I don't want to undo it and start all over again lol.

Was there an attempt at a fan remake of Fallout 1/2 in the newer engines?

# ¿ Mar 19, 2024 21:18

MonsieurChoc: Oct 12, 2013; Every species can smell its own extinction.

Any good mods for Fallout 3? Since I'm not using Tale of Two Wastelands...

Edit: I have been thinking of trying the "pure" jsawyer, as ropekid intended, but once again it would involved undoing viva new vegas and that was a pain to setup in the first place.

LashLightning posted:

You should be able to set up a number of different modded versions in MO2, or perhaps using GOG's version of NV will allow you to get around that in a different manner. Having two copies of NV installed on your computer may seem silly, but if that's the only way to get it to work...

Oh I hadn't thought about that...

MonsieurChoc: Oct 12, 2013; Every species can smell its own extinction.

Nobody Interesting posted:

Don't even need different installations, MO2 has a "profiles" concept. You click a button and boom new set of mods.

This is because it doesn't install anything into FNV's folder, but uses a run-time virtual filesystem.

So I could in theory have JSawyer on one profile and Viva New Vegas on the other...

# ¿ Mar 20, 2024 19:23

MonsieurChoc: Oct 12, 2013; Every species can smell its own extinction.

I'd been using MO2 so I have set-up JSawyer in a seperate profile from Viva New Vegas.

# ¿ Mar 21, 2024 18:18

# ¿ Mar 22, 2024 01:45

MonsieurChoc: Oct 12, 2013; Every species can smell its own extinction.

Yeah I got everything, so I'm guessing it's something to do with the VNV set up.

Edit: Also Tale of Two Wastelands doesn't work because the launcher file didn't appear in the drop-down. :shrug:

Edit: Fixed it by nuking mod manager and reinstalling everything from scratch.

Yeah. The no hair thing threw me too when I did my most recent reinstall. I had to use D3D9_Generator-50470-3-0a to make a fake DX9 dll to trick the hair back into existance.

Edit: Found it by just reading what you posted correctly lol.

Time to replay this game again while listening to Desert Oracle Radio. I wonder if Joshua Tree National park is in the game.

I dunno what would have gone wrong, but I tried this. I have two profiles: Blue Moon, and VNV. I set up Blue Moon first. I also have both per-profile options selected: save games and INI

I created VNV as a copy of Blue Moon and was extremely annoyed to see all the mods are listed! I would have hoped it would be a blank modlist, but nope. So I disabled every mod, and then reordered the list to match VNV before adding the bits VNV adds.

It's now possible for me to swap between Blue Moon and VNV seamlessly. It's messy because all the disabled mods are still listed, but it works. I also noticed one or two mods had to be reinstalled as per VNV's instructions.

Nice.

I'm having fun with just JSawyer plus bugfixes though so I'll stay with it.
