RetroCube Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Hello fellow forum members! First off, I would like to say this is the first time I'll be playing through Fallout New Vegas. I played a little bit without mods and loved the really dark mature atmosphere the game has had compared to the other two 3d Fallout games. However, before committing to the game I wanted to get some really nice eyecandy mods. The highest recommended character replacer I could find was Fallout Character Overhaul, so I thought I'd use it. The problem is as follows: Despite being a "Download with NMM" mod, NMM doesn't sort the mod into one of its categories as far as I can tell. As such, I can't tell NMM to unpack it and install. I tried decompressing the file and installing it manually, but with the new races added it just looks like doing so would be really messy. Assistance requested. Thanks in advance.

M48A5 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I would venture a guess that you did not read the installation instructions on the mod page. If so, you would not be trying to install the mod with NMM. I suggest you read the mod page, gather the required resources and follow the instructions.

dubiousintent Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 You might also want to look over the 'Body Replacement Basics ' section of the wiki "FNV General Mod Use Advice" article to see what you are really getting into. Body replacement is not a simple "install one mod and done" matter. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroCube Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 @M48A5 I am unsure if this was your intent, but responses like the one you posted typically come across as callous. "read instructions" isn't helpful to individuals who actually have read the instructions multiple times start to finish. If there was a section you felt the topic creator missed, you should use citation to bring their attention to it should you actually desire to help. If I may bring your attention to the mod, the file download comment actually has NMM listed as the first option. @Dubious you don't know it, but I actually found one of your comments on a different topic covering a problem I recently encountered. Your thoughts were incredibly helpful and led me to fix the 'pink hands' issue with FCO's female raider race. As it turns out, the textures weren't misplaced or anything...they just didn't exist. So I manually added some where the pathing was looking for them in. So thank you. Topic issue resolved. Going to try and get this locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
