Great OP! I'll go through my posts in the old thread (which is here, for all those wondering) and cobble together some mods I recommend. In the meantime, here's the small list from my last post in the other thread: Coughing Hobo posted:Another sleepless night has yielded a new look for my main man, one that I'm quite happy with.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:Steam won't let the game start? Is there a CTD? Does Steam just sit with a "preparing to launch" screen, indefinitely? Or does double-clicking the executable do absolutely nothing? I get the same issue; when I select FOMM to load things up, NVSE loads, but when it tries to load the modified EXE, I get Application Load Error 3:0000065432. I sent the author a comment asking for how to fix this. Others have asked, but he's kept the "workaround" to individual PMs. I have a sneaking suspicion said workaround is less than legal.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:Have you tried starting up FONV by directly starting the executable that you modify with the LAA? You shouldn't have to start NVSE through FOMM. Unless I'm woefully mistaken, even NVSE's website says you can start the game as you normally would, and you don't need to start it with FOMM either, once you've modified the load order to your liking. I figured it out; the deal here is that you have to bypass the FONV Launcher, otherwise it checks the FalloutNV.exe and'll have Steam spit out that error. The author of the utility gave me some instructions to work around it, and it worked nearly perfectly. After using the utility to modify your FalloutNV.exe: 1.) Rename FalloutNVLauncher.exe to something else 2.) Rename nvse_loader.exe to FalloutNVLauncher.exe Then everything should work peaches. I did one more step so I can start through FOMM like I usually do: 3.) Make a copy of nvse_loader.exe and keep its original name So essentially you have two copies of nvse_loader, one in its original state, and one effectively taking the place of the NV Launcher. I found step 3 to be an extra layer of security in making sure my game starts up properly.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:Has anybody tried this mod yet? It adds a special encounter to the Mojave Wasteland where you can obtain the "Solar Scorcher" from Fallout 2. The only thing is, the weapon isn't just given to you--you travel back in "time" to Vault 13 where you can find the weapon (and inadvertently break the original Water Chip). It sounds like a pretty interesting presentation, and the screenshots don't look half bad, either. Having just ran through it, it's neat, but super-short. The Solar Scorcher's fun to play around with.

lethial posted:A word of caution: if you have the "Interior Lighting Overhaul" mod, be sure to TURN OFF THE LIGHT when you exit buildings! Or else your game will crash! No, I'm on Windows 7 64-bit. There's additional steps on the mod page for 32-bit OSes, I believe. EDIT: Oh god new page so bare  Here's something I offer up to you! psychoelf's level stripping mod! If a vendor sells it, if a monster spawns somewhere, there's a chance it will even if you're level 1. Everything's available from the start. This may make some baddies harder, as they can be walking around with .44 revolvers while you've still got just a crappy 9mm, but guess what you get after you kill him?

The guy who did the Handgun Animation Replacer has upgraded his mod to Weapon Animation Replacers! In addition to new handgun animations, he's also covered revolver and SMG animations, and just recently released rifle animations, which includes shotguns and rifles, and also assault rifles like the carbine and LMG. They look loving boss. I asked the guy to make two-handed aimed shot pistol animations, and he said he'd work on them after he finished up the rifle animations  EDIT: also featured is the newest piece of armor in the desert scorpion mod, an alternate, badassed version of Geonox's Riot Armor.

Tecman posted:Bah, just when I plan to finally put in the effort and overhaul/update my mods (5 gigs of downloaded stuff so far), FNV Redesigned gets pulled (by the author?) or something. Are there any other Project Beauty-alike mods for New Vegas I should look into, or mirrors for FNVR? Take a pass on nVamp. Having played it myself for a week, I gave up on it without a moment's hesitation. The difficulty is all over the place, a lot of the changes feel really disjointed, and many of those mods are in a state of constant flux that you'd be rebuilding your entire mod list just to keep it current and updated. I'm gonna stick with XFO as my gameplay overhaul mod of choice for now.

I have two recommendations to make to improve gunplay, make things a little more tense, a better feel. Both mods require NVSE. First up is Manual Reload. Does two things; reloading is no longer automatic, requiring you to press R, and bullet count is maintained between weapon switching. Makes things a little harder for the player (NPCs are, of course, not bound by these rules), but promotes having a handful of different weapons to switch between in the middle of a heated firefight. Second is the core module of Book of Earache. Everything else is optional, the only ones I use is the core module and the AWOP one to give the weapons from that mod some unique variety. The rain of shells is nice, and taclights are awesome, but mainly it adds recoil to weapons. It works with almost all weapons added in from mods, as well.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:Book of Earache is already in the OP, actually. Manual Reload, though...I'm going to throw that one on there. Thanks. Oh, whoops. And here I looked at the OP, first, too, to make sure they weren't already mentioned.  More mod suggestions! This is what happens when it rains and I can't go anywhere. iHUD (requires NVSE) - This mod hides your HUD unless you request for it to show up, or it's needed. Really nice for traveling and exploring. Enhanced Blood Textures - Do you like blood? I do! Especially when it's my enemies being splashed across the ground! Also has an ESP (with various optional ESPs to customize it) to change the blood splatter that occurs on your screen when you get hit to look good.

I know this isn't the thread for it, but to counter Flaky... Having played Dead Money through now two times, I'm baffled as to how one, who presumably enjoys New Vegas itself, could not like it, as it's what was right about that game distilled into a fantastic 5-6 hour romp. Bugs (and a bit of tedium in some of the objectives) aside, this is way more than I expected, and I highly recommend it. Plus you get to walk away with a BAR, and that thing's just maximum

Captain McStabbin posted:I think someone posted this video earlier in the thread, and I was just wondering what HUD they were using to get all those fancy meters on the left side of the screen. It seems like it would be part of Project Nevada, but I have yet to see anything like that. Check out Unified HUD and the mods it can combine. That particular HUD element looks like Ambient Temperature.

Having used nVamp, I think it's a waste of time, especially given the investment in its setup. While the implementation is smooth, and good on those guys for making all of those mods work together, what the mods actually do makes a mess of NV, and it doesn't even feel like a drastic change when it's all said and done, unlike, say, FCOM for Oblivion or FWE for FO3. Before I even get into what I didn't like about it, it's also merging a bunch of mods that are still in their infancy, and updating rapidly. Maintaining nVamp was a nightmare for the ONE week I had it installed. As for what's actually wrong with it, for starters, the difficulty is completely hosed; raiders and fiends in power armor with a posse of 20+, serial killers with massive amounts of health and great armor outside of Goodsprings, the NCRCF has snipers that I'm almost positive are pulling some Wanted curve the bullet bullshit to hit me behind cover, and that's just the first hour of the game. The economy is a mess, too. Those serial killers I mentioned have guns and hundreds of bullets to sell. You'll have well over 50k in caps by the time you get to Primm. Not that it matters, because everything is prohibitively expensive anyway. Not that THAT matters, however, because enemies carry so many supplies, you should never ever find yourself needing to restock at a vendor. Lastly, and this is just personal, but it just didn't feel right. Too many conflicting ideas, and while they technically worked together, the ideas behind the mods merged are at odds. However, uninstalling it is a piece of cake, as long as you FOMOD everything. You should FOMOD everything. Always. So, instead of nVamp, I use XFO and Project Nevada. Throw in Book of Earache and Manual Reload to give gunplay a more tactile feel, and I've had a ton of fun with the game since.

Milkbags posted:You guys were right about NVAMP. Every time I try to use it I get a COD when the game boots up. I could troubleshoot it, but not quite worth it yknow. Here's what I recommend and am what I am using currently: XFO - Highly customizable, the best gameplay overhaul out there currently. Project Nevada - In its current incarnation, it's a bunch of smaller gameplay mods pieced together nicely; grenade hotkey, sprint, dynamic crosshair, etc. Check the mod details for more, they're almost all useful. Manual Reload - Makes firefights a little more intense when you can't magically reload your weapon by switching away and switching back. Book of Earache - Every esp is optional, but the basic esm adds recoil to all weapons, which improves the feel of combat, I think. Requires Caliber, which is worth it. Those are the core five. The game plays a little bit more like a proper shooter, but still feels like New Vegas.

Naky posted:That info is in the mesh, something I'd be shocked to find out if Earache knows how to do. Yeah, the more I play around with his mods, the more I am baffled at how sloppy they are.

Naky posted:I really hate recommending xCaliber but a lot of people use it so there's that, but none of the guns natively support it. I think Safetyhammer did a compatibility version for 1.5 that he could throw up for you guys that want it though. I'm so tempted to do my own ammo mod, but would definitely cause incompatibilities with xCaliber. I think Caliber is the one thing of Earache's that isn't a poorly-coded mess; a lot of it is a modders' resource, and by default, isn't activated. So don't feel too bad recommending it to people.

Mill Village posted:Yes, and it still doesn't work. You might have to edit a different ini. Try copying the font stuff to fallout.ini, fallout_prefs.ini AND fallout_default.ini. One of the three will be in your documents folder, the other two are in the game folder.

Mill Village posted:I put the font changes in the last two files, but not the first one. It started to work after I did that. Its weird that I would have to change three files for it to work properly, though. Depending on your startup process, the game references a different ini upon startup, hence the extra coverage. I'm probably wrong, but if you start up through the launcher, it reads fallout.ini, but if you skip the launcher (like I do), it reads fallout_prefs.ini. Or something like that. Any ini changes I make I just make to all three, save myself the headache of figuring out which one does which.

Just use the old Oblivion method; use showracemenu, make your changes but don't finalize them, and save your game (you may need to close the console for the game to allow you to do so). Reload the save, and you'll have your cosmetic changes without affecting your character in any other way.

Rirse posted:I have a question, do the retexturing mods effect the Fallout 3 areas? Also how does it handle the start of Fallout 3? Also do I need all the DLC to use it? I skipped on the first and last DLC since I heard they sucked. FO3 texture mods affect all FO3 areas, and also any places in NV that use FO3 textures, which'll create a sharp disparity in quality when you come to an area that uses both new NV textures and old FO3 textures. You start out near Vault 101, and no, you don't need any of the DLCs; they're supported, but generally untested.
