desertoth1 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 So, I've just picked up FNV Ultimate Edition on Steam, and am doing research to determine which set of mods to collate for the best game I can get. I've done my best to identify potential incompatibilities, but there are some points on which I'm unsure. Here's my list of steps/mods-to-get: 1. *Get Yukichigai Unofficial Patch, NVAC and Stutter Remover 2. Get FOOK-PN-EVE-WMXUE-WME using the Convergence scheme*Get Project Mojave*Consider getting NVCE 3. *Get Primary Needs*Get Advanced Recon Thermal Nightvision*Get Advanced Recon Range Finder*Get Ambient Temperature*Get Imps More Complex Needs*Get Powered Power Armor and Power Armor Soundified*Get JIP Selective Fire*Get FPS Weapon Wheel*Get JIP Realistic Weapon Overheating*Get JIP Companions Command and Control*Get Increased Wasteland Spawns*Get DFB Random Encounters*Get MTUI*Get Official Pipboy Readius*Get Weapon Mod Menu*Get One Hud (oHUD)*Get Unified Hud (uHUD)*Get MCM 4. *Get RACE and RACE Ready Music*Get Improved Sound FX 5. Get DOF Depth of Field*Get Nevada Skies*Get Electro-city*Get Interior Lighting Overhaul 6. (Compatibility w/ EVE and each other?). *Get Blackout ENB*Get either NMCs Texture Pack or the Ojo Bueno/Poco Bueno Pack*Get Enhanced Blood Textures*Get Wasteland Flora Overhaul*Weapon Animation Replacers 7. *Consider Fallout New Vegas Redesigned 2 (very incompatible); Garybash?*Body-mods (e.g. Breeze's Males)?*Get Compatibility Skeleton*Get Fallout Character Overhaul 8. *Get NPC Project series*Get New Vegas Uncut series*Get SomeGuy Series 9. *Get Realistic Battle and Dynamic Combat (- obviated by Project Nevada? What about Reloaded?)*Get Bottle That Water*Get More Perks 10. *Get Willow Companion*Get Improved Sunny Smiles Companion with Normal Armor*Get Niner*Get Wendy Gilbert Companion*Get Improved Companion Sandbox*Get Delilah*Get Follower Home Marker*Get Unlimited Companions Updated*Get De-Equpable Companions*Get Desmond Harper Companion*Get Pack Brahmin Companion 11. *Get Military Expansion Program*Get Searchlight Airport NCR or Legion*Get Factions Reloaded series 12. *Get Beyond Boulder Dome*Get New Bison Steve Hotel and Lucky Casino*Get Dog City Denver*Get Tales from the Burning Sands and IMCNNV Compatibility Patch*Get Deimos*Get The Courier's Cache*Get War Never Changes*Get Area 51 Project Roswell*Get Deserter's Fortress*Get Badlands*Get Goodsprings Filler*Get Saxxons Quest Collection*Get The Collector*Get Skunkwater Gulch*Get The Most Dangerous Game*Get Identity Crisis Part I and II*Get NCR CF*Get Decisions With Regrets 13. *Get Rust Town*Get The Torn City*Get Underground Hideout New Vegas*Get NVInteriors Project 14. *Get BlackWolfBackpacks*Get Reinforced Chinese Stealth Suit*Get Advanced Recon series*Get A Definitive Armor Mod*Get NCR Rearmament*Get Dragonskin Tactical Outfit*Get Spice of Life&Get HDTShop 15. *Get Weapon Retexture Project and the maker's other mods if not included*Get CaliberX*Get m110 sass sniper rifle *Get Barrett 98B with BORS optics*Get Crossbow for the Wasteland *Get Tactical AK 103*Get Bullpup Weapons Pack *Get Mail Order Catalogs*Get Craft Pack*Get M40a5 with sound*Get 10mm Tactical SMG*Get SVD sniper rifle*Get Desert Eagle and Desert Eagle VII Engraved*Get THOR Are there any obvious problems in there? Will the mods in (6) be compatible with each other and EVE? Should I avoid the things outlined in (7) entirely? Should I try to put this together into a Merged Patch?

desertoth1 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Perhaps that was too open-ended. Alright, I will put this stuff together into a Merged Patch (after researching the procedure), but before that I need to ask: 1. Since NPC mods are often the most incompatible, should I just pass over body/face/NPC-texture mods like Breeze's Males and FNV Redesigned 2, and Fallout Character Overhaul? 2. Would nMCS textures, EVE, Weapon Retexture Project, an ENB such as Blackout, Weapon Animation Replacers, Nevada Skies, Enhanced Blood Textures, and Wasteland Flora Overhaul all be compatible with each other? It seems likely that they would overwrite too many of each other's textures to be mergeable, but I'm not sure. EVE at least would be compatible with the weapons stuff, Nevada Skies, Enhanced Blood Textures, and Poco/Ojo Bueno (an alternative to nMCS). The weapons mods, I'm unsure of, since it's not clear to me whether the Weapon Retexture Project changes any animations. I'm most willing to drop the ENB and the Wasteland Flora Mod here - please advise. 3. Would NV Realistic Battle and Dynamic Combat work/be mergeable with Reload? I know the former would be compatible with Project Nevada, and with the Convergence scheme NVRBDC, PN, FOOK, AWOP, EVE, WMXUE, and WME should all be working together, but since Reload modifies vendor and loot lists, overhauls faction weapons, and overhauls the damage/armor model, it seems like it wouldn't work well with the above mod-set, nor with other weapons/armor add-on or overhaul mods. So should I skip Reload? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertoth1 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) I am about one-third of the way through this project, having decided to replace advice with hours of in-game testing. Bugs that have arisen thus far: 1. The Official Readius mod for the PipBoy makes it impossible to start Hardcore mode from the Mitchell/intro pop-up. Ultimately trivial, this can be gotten around by simply activating Hardcore from the Pause Menu. 2. This is probably caused by the weight of the mods already onboard. 3. Though I have no idea what might be causing it, Doc Mitchell - and conceivably all doctors in the game - can not heal or de-rad. The dialogue options are there, and they will be responded to if selected, and the healing animation is intact, but the money is taken from the player to no effect. This is not that serious a problem, as the FOOK cheat-menu allows medical items to be acquired on demand, at the cost of immersion. So far, there has not been any notable performance difference as compared to vanilla. Here is the list of mods installed thus far (ignore the colors): SERIES NAME 2 FOOK 2 PN 2 EVE 2 WME 2 WMXUE 2 AWOP 2 Recipes for Weapons Mods 2 Project Mojave 2 NVCE 2 MCM 2 FOOK-NP Convergence 2.5 Caliber 2.5 Weapon Mod Menu 2.5 NVInteriors 2.5 Searchlight Airport NCR or Legion 3 Ambient Temperature 3 Advanced Recon Series 3 Imp's More Complex Needs 3 JIP Companions C&C 3 JIP Selective Fire 3 JIP Realistic Overheating 3 Powered Power Armor 3 Power Armor Soundified 3 Official Pipboy Readius 3 More Realistic Aiming 3 Increased Wasteland Spawns 3 DFB Random Encounters 3 MTUI 3 oHUD 3 uHUD 4 More Perks 4 Improved Sound FX 4 DOF Depth of Field 4 Nevada Skies 4 ILO 4 Rust Town 4 Electro-city 4 Totally Fixed Pipboy Light 5 Fallout Character Overhaul 5 Niner 5 Spice of Life 5 Beware of Girl Type 3 5 Breeze's New Vegas Males 5 Enhanced Shaders ENB 5 Poco Bueno Texture Pack 5 Wasteland Flora Overhaul 5 Enhanced Blood Textures Advice is still welcome, though I guess I have no specific questions any longer. Here is what remains: 6. *Get NPC Project series*Get New Vegas Uncut series*Get SomeGuy Series*Get Military Expansion Program*Get Factions Reloaded series*Get The Torn City*Get Underground Hideout New Vegas 7.
