RagnarokJ Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 No i mean i want to install created mods from nexus like i did with Fo3. I need some quick advice on the first steps like getting programs to help like a new fomm or an archivinvalidation thing, that stuff. I don't make mods.

Dirtbikercj Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 If your talking about where to put the mod's then you put them in C: Program files/Bethesda softworks/Fallout New Vegas/Data Folder Hope i helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theturtle6666 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I have similar problems as well, only I've never downloaded a mod at all. I got the 7-zip extractor that New Vegas Nexus suggested, as well as the NV Mod Manager but I can't seem to get either to work. I tried downloading the centered third person camera mod, and while I did download it successfully, I couldn't get it to work. I saw it inside the package manager and everything, but I couldn't activate it? Could anyone help me out with this and maybe give me a basic explanation of how I should be extracting things in case im doing it wrong or in case of mods that dont work with the manager?

Check to see if the file you downloaded has a readme in it, Most mods have one and usually they explain how to install the mod. anyway here's an example for a basic installation: Installation: - Using 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org), extract the contents (everything - ALL files and folders) of the mod's .7z archive file to your Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas\Data\ directory.- In the Data Files section of the Fallout New Vegas Launcher - or using a mod manager tool - place a tick in the box next to your mod. - Launch the game Keep in mnd that some mods might require other stuff so always read the readmes.
