Rubberduck69 Posted May 4, 2024 Share Posted May 4, 2024 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!

Expand 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.)

Rubberduck69 Posted May 4, 2024 Author Share Posted May 4, 2024 That sounds good. And somewhat suprising cause i never had Mod Organizer 2 on my radar.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfandrews Posted May 4, 2024 Share Posted May 4, 2024 I do not know if this would be relevant but both Viva New Vegas and TTW's installation guides are predicated on MO2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubberduck69 Posted May 4, 2024 Author Share Posted May 4, 2024 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ophiucus68 Posted May 11, 2024 Share Posted May 11, 2024 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unstable seems a bit harsh, maybe there were other factors at play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found out many many users had the same problem even with updating the ini file. https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/34832?tab=posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
