Or use FRAPs if you're not using DXVK, it's old but still works with New Vegas. https://fraps.com/ Don't use it with DX11/12 games, it can cause crashes.

I honestly have no idea where to go from here, I have the old DVD of FO3 and thus have no experience of the patcher, I know the game works on Windows 10, I play it on there quite often.

Firstly, is the NVAC.dll from the anti-crash in Data\fose\plugins? if you just install it just by extracting to the data folder it's going to be in Data\nvse\plugins where's it's not going to work, I should have clarified that. If the patcher isn't working try installing "Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022" and "Visual Studio 2013 (VC++ 12.0)" from here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-160

That's what the Anniversary Patcher fixes, the first thing I linked, it downgrades it to 1.7.0.3.

Use this https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/24913 then install FOSE and then install this https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/53635 it says it for New Vegas but it works for FO3.

I would load that up in FO3Edit and expand each mod to see which ones have perks and what those perks are.

Go to Documents\My Games\FalloutNV and move or delete the Fallout.ini and FalloutPrefs.ini files, now start the game via the game's own launcher to generate new ones, it'll reset all of your settings so you'll have to set your options again. Sometimes doing this will fix odd behaviour.

I use removeitem because I've left characters with items unequipped only to come back several days later to find them equipped again.

Open the console, click on the NPC and enter INV into the console, that will return a list of what they're carrying along with the ID's, you can then remove items by entering Removeitem itemID number, that number being the number of that item you want to remove from them. This doesn't transfer the items to your inventory, if you plan on putting the items back make a note of the ID so you can use the Additem command to do it.

Custom race creation is one of those things that's easy once you know how, you can make one in less than five minutes once you've got the hang of it. There is something that's not in that guide, whenever you access the races in the GECK it will create a duplicate of an existing race, it's worth using FNVEdit to get rid of that duplicate once you've finished.

Yes but you'll need to install or create a custom race for your character. https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/images/102834

Then don't search for 00, search for whatever else you think might be in the ID or the item's name, it'll still show up in a search even with the prefix, that assumes ID's are descriptive and they're often not. There really isn't a problem here, people have been using prefixes since Morrowind to sort things, if you're adding a number of things to a mod you need a way to identify them and preferably be able to sort them so they end up at the top of lists, hence 00, AA and ZZ, it saves a lot of time.

I use 00 all the time except for scripts and I've never had an issue, statics, races, hairs, everything.

Yeah they'll work with every armour, in 99% of cases armour contains it own body that replaces your characters one.

The alice body works fine with BNB and that skeleton, it also works fine with textures for any of the "type" bodies.
