Oh, boy. I looked at the mods JIP and Unlimited Companions Updated and wow, the hate spewing between the two camps took me off guard. All I want is to roam with two companions sometimes. Nothing fancy.

Thank you. My first reaction was, of course it won't be easy....but I made a bodygen mod for FO$ that makes all NPCs, characters, and player have different bodies so...work, work, work

Yes, I'm realizing that. There is a skeleton compatibility mod that helps for armor fits but not always. I'm not concerned about bouncing boobs in FONV, body physics doesn't seem as prevalent as in FO4. HOWEVER, more fun clothing sets seem to be designed for BnB. I just don't care for the exaggerated chest. It's just a preference thing.

OK, next question - can I use one body type for my character and another for NPCs?

Thinking about JIP for a second or third playthrough

Done. Thank you

Does the BNB and skeleton work with just the armor portion?

Ok. Started the game and modding and hit a confusion point. The BNB page shows pics of multiple body types...but one replacer?? Thing is, I like the look of Type 3 Alice because it's a more natural look, not anime big bouncy silliness, but will that work with BNB and the skeleton mod?

I'm an experienced FO4 player/modder just starting New Vegas. I'm curious as to what mods are best for gameplay/stability fixers, environment enhancers, character textures, etc. So far, I've found through an EOS video, "Fallout New Vegas Mods - How to Install Mods for Beginner's - (NVSE Modding Gameplay Guide (2021)": Visual Studio C++ Update: DirectX 4 GB Patcher Script Extender (NVSE) UIO Mod Configuration Menu Lstewieal's Tweaks JIP LN NVSE Plugin YUKICHIGAI Unofficial Patch YUP Unofficial Patch PLUS JonnyGuitar There are some on his suggested list I didn't use because the posts stated some mods were no longer functional. So, as I move on to face tweaks, textures, and other fun stuff, any ideas?

It's on the controller. The small button directly in the center with the little upload symbol.

I use steam but I use an Xbox controller bluetooth linked to my PC. It's right between the joy sticks so taking screenshots during combat doesn't require reaching for a function button, just a flick of the thumb.

So, taking screenshots was a breeze with the Xbox controller on PC. Just hit the share button on the fly. Then, Windows updated and now the share button does nothing. Anyone else?

For those who might check in - figured it out. It came down to a mod so old I forgot I had it. MGS Aiming, It allows down the sight aiming in third person...and I figured out it does it by calling the first person aiming and overwriting on the fly the third person settings and sometimes both start getting called up at the same time resulting in weirdness. oh well. Disabled old mod and problem fixed.

I have something simpler to try. When I played FO4 on an older machine, I would run into odd instabilities and long load times the more I progressed in the game. It was a memory/storage problem. FO4 crams a lot into the save game files. The more you progress, the more you move items, build, stack up dead bodies, etc., the bigger and more cumbersome the save game files become and FO4 creates a new file every time you do anything it seems. So, I started deleting old saves when I saved a game. Call up the save menu, delete 10 old saves, save new. Repeat until you have like five or six savegames. Worked wonders for stability and loads.
