Pre-Installation Checklist Make sure that everything is ready to install before proceeding with this guide. • Fallout New Vegas and Steam in general should not be installed in the Program Files or Program Files (x86) folder. • Either Google how to move the Steam folder or watch video on YouTube,.

• Make sure Fallout New Vegas directory is clean from any other modding previously done. • A good way to make sure is to delete everything in the New Vegas folder except the Data folder. • Now open the Data folder and delete everything that is not a vanilla ESM or BSA from New Vegas or the DLCs.

• Now go to New Vegas in Steam and verify game cache and Steam will download all the necessary files. • Delete the Fallout.ini and FalloutPrefs.ini from My Games in the Documents folder and start the Fallout launcher so new ones can regenerate.

This will allow the INIs to revert back to vanilla before starting. • Set the Fallout New Vegas launcher settings to max for the system being used to play the game. Fallout New Vegas should be able to perform well on any modern hardware. GamerPoets' FNV install video. A Word About Gamebryo and Plugin Limits The game engine for Fallout New Vegas has quite a few issues, but instead of working to solve those problems, a limit on the number of plugins was instituted during one of the patches. There is now an ~140 plugin limit for Gamebryo which will cause the function incorrectly or just not load at all if this number is reached. In addition to that, the stability of New Vegas will decrease as the number of plugins start to approach the 140 count.

This means this guide will never grow out of control and the goal will always be to have, at most, 135 plugins. This, of course, is just a number to aim for so it keeps the guide in a state that promotes a stable New Vegas. If adding mods on top of the guide, be aware of the plugin cap and learn to use the FNVEdit merge script to lower the count.

This is also the reason that Wrye Flash NV is so essential, since the Bashed Patch will lower plugin count. Video Tutorials There are a few video tutorial series for Mod Organizer and Fallout New Vegas. All of them are recommended for users that prefer watching videos.

Any mods installed in the Data folder will also be listed the same way. • For more information, see the. • by Gamer Poets.

MO is a powerful mod manager that does not install mods into the game's data folder like other mod managers.

Zion National Park never looked so good, unless you actually go to Zion National Park, but who goes outside anymore? • Author: KiCHo666 • Version: 1.5.2 Technically this is just meshes, no textures, but there is no meshes sections. Anyways nitpickers, this mod makes the in game meshes work much better for projectiles, since bullets can now go through the guard tower rails, the holes between the wood beams in the farmhouses, and cars have much better collision meshes. Great mod from a modder that is really making some essential stuff for FNV. Weather & Lighting • Author: MyGoodEye • Version: v12A Adds a bunch of lights to the wasteland.

• v2: Added Gas Pumps of New Vegas. Running FNVLODGen The level of detail in Fallout New Vegas is extremely lacking. There are a number of reasons for this, but at least there is FNVLODGen to add more objects to the distance.

Even though there are trees in FNV, there is no tree LOD for the game so all trees are treated as object LOD. This is different from the other Bethesda titles where LODGen is used. Over time there should better LOD created for FNV now that a tool exists for easy LOD generation. Make sure that FNVLODGen is installed, instructions were in the Utilities section and to setup it up for MO. Additionally, you will need to download and install the FNVLODGen Resources main file from the. Install this archive like normal in MO, and after installing move the FNVLODGen Resources mod just above the JIP NVSE Plugin mod in the left window of MO.

This mod is only for use in conjunction with FNVLODGen. It should not be used without LODGen files being enabled. FNVLODGen Instructions Before starting, make sure that both FNVLODGen Resources and LOD additions and improvements are unticked in the left pane of MO. Run LOOT and sort the load order. Activate FNVLODGen Resources and LOD additions and improvements in the left pane of MO. In MO, go to the archives tab and make sure 'Have MO manage archives' is Unchecked.

Launch FNVLODGen through MO. After a moment of processing a window will popup. On the left pane, select the worldspace(s) to generate LOD. Right click and choose 'Select all' to do all worldspaces (recommended). On the right side, make sure both Objects LOD and Tree LOD are checked. Click [Generate].

Once FNVLODGen has finished, a message 'LOD Generator: finished (you can close this application now)' will show. Close the program. Go to the location which that was selected when setting it up (C: FNVLODGenOutput was suggested). Create an archive of the contents of this folder (should be meshes and textures) In MO, select the install archive button and navigate to the archive that was just created, then install it. Name this after the profile name, example: Fear and Loathing LOD.

Tick all BSAs that have a checkbox. Texture Optimization Fallout New Vegas can benefit greatly from optimization of both vanilla and mod textures.

Mod textures can be even more important for users with low and mid range systems or even users with high end systems that do not have a lot of VRAM available. Texture optimization for FNV will be provided on separate pages, but it is highly recommended that the procedure is completed to ensure maximum performance and stability. The texture optimization process is still quite new for FNV, so there may be some bad textures here and there when the game is started. Just snap a screenshot and report it in the thread or the thread. This will make the process better since the offending textures can be added to the ddsopt.ini for exclusion.

First, follow the on the DDSopt Guide, provided by STEP user Kelmych, for vanilla texture optimization. There are still many vanilla textures not overwritten by mods in F&L, so optimization can help performance by correcting mip levels and saving textures in correct formats. Be sure to get the correct batch files for FNV and not the Skyrim batch files. FNV batch files are v2.76 and Skyrim are v2.75. Also, make sure to get the latest ddsopt.ini which is universal for all games. Second, follow the instructions for the. This will provide the process for optimizing a set of mods for performance reasons.

This can significantly increase FPS in areas that need it the most, such the Strip, Freeside, and Novac. Exterior textures from Poco Bueno and NMCs Texture Pack can be 2048x2048 resolution and severely impact performance in outdoor locations. This is not such a problem indoors, so the DDSopt batch files can separate out the exterior color maps and normal maps into separate folders where they can be reduced in size to 1024x1024 resolution for systems that need to increase performance. 'The possibility.of physical and mental collapse is now very real.

No sympathy for the Devil, keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride.' - Raoul Duke.

By now fatigue to modding this wacky game is probably setting in, but the end is very near. Just a few post installation errands before killing raiders, running way around Cazadors, and emptying the caps of caravans will be all that awaits. Post Installation Checklist • Generate Bash Tags • Run LOOT • Create Bashed Patch Generate Bash Tags The purpose of this process is to analyze plugins and recognize the correct bash tags to apply to them.

This is a tedious process that involves running a script on all non-vanilla plugins that have been installed, but it is necessary in order to allow a vital patch called a bashed patch to properly combine records from all installed plugins that can benefit from being in that patch. • Open FNVEdit through MO. • Right click the list of mods and choose 'Select None'. • Scroll down past FalloutNV.esm, DeadMoney.esm, HonestHearts.esm, OldWorldBlues.esm, LonesomeRoad.esm, GunRunnersArsenal.esm, ClassicPack.esm, MercenaryPack.esm, TribalPack.esm, and CaravanPack.esm (skip the vanilla files) and find the first non-vanilla plugin in the list; it will likely be YUP - Base Game + All DLC.esm. • Tick that plugin (and that plugin only), then hold shift and click [OK]. • After FNVEdit loads, right click on the previously ticked plugin from the list on the left and select 'Apply Script'. • From the top dropdown select Generate Bash Tags and click [OK].

• Click [Yes] in the popup. • After the script is completed, you will see a [Apply Script done] message at the bottom of the right window panel.

• Close FNVEdit and save the plugin. • Now repeat steps 7-12 on the next plugin in the list. • Repeat the previous step until you have run the script on all the rest of the plugins in your list (shortcuts will not work - only process one plugin at a time), but don't run the script on your bashed patch if you already have one created. Remember that this process will need to be redone on any plugin reinstalled in MO. The current version of the script can recognize all known bash tags but one: Deflst.

Currently, there is only one plugin in this guide that contains that bash tag and it will have to be treated as a special circumstance; that plugin is 1nivVSLArmors.esp. The script would have determined that Deflst was a bad tag in 1nivVSLArmors.esp and improperly removed it.

Follow these steps to manually correct the tags for this plugin: • Open Wrye Flash NV though MO. • Select '1nivVSLArmors.esp' and then right click the Bash Tags box in the bottom right and add each these tags: • Actors.Stats • Deflst • Graphics • Invent • Names • Relev • Stats • Close Wrye Flash NV. Run LOOT Open LOOT through Mod Organizer and sort the mod list.

Click [Apply] when the list of mods is presented. Create a Bashed Patch The Bashed Patch is almost as versatile for New Vegas as it is for Oblivion. This means that many more options exist to merge things to the Bashed Patch. • Go to '.Fallout New Vegas Mopy Templates' and create an archive containing the 'Bashed Patch, 0.esp'. Then drop it into the Downloads tab of MO. • Install it like any other Mod and use the name Bashed Patch. • In the left pane of MO, make sure it is ticked and located just above Overwrite.

• After you completed these steps, a new Bashed Patch can be generated again and again without having to repeat this process. Wrye Flash will just overwrite this 'Bashed Patch, 0.esp' from now on.

• Also UN-tick Unofficial Patch Plus. Otherwise your bashed patch build will fail. • Run Wrye Flash NV through Mod Organizer. • When started right click 'Bashed Patch,0.esp' and select Rebuild Patch. • If there is a pop-up saying that certain mods will be disable because they are mergeable, click [Yes].

If not disregard. • Go through the left side and click each tag one at a time and stop after Import Weapon Modifications, before Global. • If there are any plugins listed on the right side, tick the highlighted tab on the left side and tick all the plugins on the right side.

(image on right) • For Import Names, leave FalloutNV.esm unticked. • Tick Tweak Settings, Content Checker, FormID Lists, Leveled Lists, and Race Records. • For Tweak Settings, tick Cost Multiplier: Repair and then right click and select '1.5', then tick Terminal Speed Adjustment and then right click and set to 'x 6'. • For Race Record tick all the plugins on the right side. • Click Build Patch and wait for it to finish. Wrye Flash should take care of everything from here and ask to activate itself if that is needed.

• After building the Bashed Patch you will notice that all plugins merged into the patch appear green. Those have been merged into the Bashed Patch and deactivated. In addition to those, there are a couple mods ( MiscItemIconsNV.esp and WMX-ArenovalisTextures.esp) that appear purple. These have not been merged into the Bashed Patch due to being flagged NoMerge, but have been deactivated during the process and must be manually re-enabled in order to work as intended. Click the checkbox to the left of these mods (make sure there is a check in the box next to each, rather than a dot) in order to reactivate them. • When done, close Wrye Flash NV. • In the left pane of MO, go to the bottom of the mod list and double click on 'Overwrite'.

• Drag the folder Docs from the newly opened window onto Bashed Patch in the mod list and drop it. • Tick Unofficial Patch Plus, so it is enabled again. Dirty Weasel demonstrates patch creation Create a Merged Patch A merged patch can be made in xEdit to solve the few remaining issues not handled by the Bashed Patch, there are several instructional videos about it on YouTube. Alternatively you can just use MonoAccipiter's pre-made patch: • Author: MonoAccipiter • Version: v1 • Requirements: YUP, The New Bison Steve Hotel & Casino, WMX, EVE, Improved Sound & FX • Changelog: This tiny changelog is provided for users that may have used an older version of this patch: • v1: Initial version Sort this after the Bashed Patch.: Run LOOT through MO executable dropdown. Find 'Merged Patch.esp' in the left pane and click the three dots on the right of the plugin, then select [Edit Metadata], and the [LOAD AFTER] tab.

Enter 'Bashed Patch, 0.esp' into the 'Filename' textbox. Click the save icon next to ILO - Merged.esp. In Game Settings The many mods that take advantage of the MCM allow for a options to customize the New Vegas experience.

The following link has a suggested list of settings for certain MCM settings from a few mods to customize the experience. If any user would like to have their settings listed, just look at the MCM settings page linked below and format it the same way. Also, only include mods that are listed in this guide and make sure the URL is correct. It is very simple, after the ' add '/User:/Fear and Loathing MCM Settings'. That is it to start a MCM settings page, when finished just link it in the forum or send a PM to EssArrBee and it will get added below for other users to see.

(Unfinished) Controller Support Fallout New Vegas supports the Xbox 360 controller natively, but there is no way to change the default button settings other than switching two button's commands. This is a problem when using mods like Project Nevada that add in new hotkeys or for users that have any other type of controller. To solve this issue, the best option is to use an emulator or wait until a modder figures out how to fix the whole thing (which is being worked on, so there is hope). The link below is for a page that will have instructions to setup Xpadder with an Xbox 360 controller and some other instructions for users with different gamepads to create their own profiles. User that are using other emulators can create their own wiki pages and they will be linked to from here. Ultra-Wide Screen (21:9) Support Fallout New Vegas needs further tweaks to fully support utra-wide screens (21:9) at 2560X1080 and 3440x1440 resolutions.

After applying these tweaks, there will only be a few minor problems left. Loading screen pictures will be slightly stretched, but there's no real way of fixing that. You will have screen cutoff while assigning S.P.E.C.I.A.L.
