Complete new install and mod setup for Fallout New Vegas GUIDE NEEDED!


Recommended Posts

Hi folks,

i played F3, F4 and NV thousands of hours. Modded to the max which had my pc smoking. Sometimes not very stable but i was satisfied.

But that is years ago and now i wanna start over again. There are simpy no decent games out there which have such an atmosphere.

And that's the problem. I have to build up a New Vegas install from scratch and simply dont remember how to do it right.

Starting with which mod manager to use. NMM or Vortex?

And i need a VERY detailed guide how to prepare NV and (at best) a guide which mods to use.

Any of your help and patience is greatly appreciated!😃☺️

I recommend either Mod Organizer 2 or Vortex myself.  Both have Nexus integration, profiles, and easy-ish ways to swap mods in and out of your game.

(Been using Mod Organizer in some form with my Elder Scrolls and Fallout games for a decade at least, now, and have never used NMM or Vortex.)

Any hint or tip is appreciated. I gotta start from the beginning and i learned that u can easily srew up your install.

So therefore i got to gather all intel i can get. So please send me links to guides and well endorsed mods.

I recently installed FONV for the first time and used viva new vegas as a rough guide. Rough guide - for instance, do not install the tickker mod that eliminates stutters. It's unstable. Do turn off autosaves for fast travel - that will save a few CTDs.

Personally, I use vortex. I found it more user friendly and reliable with FO4 and have had no problems with it for FONV.

I've used NVSR for many many years, don't think I've ever had a single issue due to it. Unstable seems a bit harsh, maybe there were other factors at play?

It was crash city for me with a clean install. Removed it. No more crashes.

Looked at the posts for it. Found out many many users had the same problem even with updating the ini file.
