Reload compatible and complimental Mods

[Frodric]

I have been using Reload and find its treatment of weapons, ammo, crafting, and salvaging spot on. I'm interested in finding out what other mods people are using with it without too much conflict or alteration needed.

 

Mods with compatibility patches:

 

Automated Reloading Bench

WME- Weapon Mod Expansion

 

Other Mods:

Better Bottlecap Mines

Level 60 cap no perk change

Perk Every Level Editted for level 60

Longer Vats Range

no auto aim

100 outfits with Breeze patch

Darnified UI NV

NVSE

Fellout

FOTN as Cateye

Colorless Cateye

RCSS

 

Also various Body replacers.

 

Utilities:

Wrye Flash

FOMM

FNVEdit also helpful FNVEdit training manual

 

 

Many of the weapon mods out there are using replacers or alter enough things to be incompatible with Reload though with the full reload package it adds a ton of weapons and is expanding. Does anyone have any suggestions for mods to add to my load list for my new install?

Well im also using -IMCNNV ips more complex needs(http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37254) which means i spend a lot of time running after drink, food and because of reload components for ammo

-Arenovalis weapon retexture project(http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=38285) only retex of vanilla weapons, no esp so no conflicts with reload

-Nevada Skies - Weather Effects BETA(http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35998) Best weather mod around IMO altough i use the esp replacer from ELECTRO-CITY - More LIGHTS for Darker Nights(http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37908) because that guy did a really fine job adding some lamppost around settlements

 

These along with Reload i would use in all my playthrough my load order actually looks like this though:

Total active plugins: 64

As you can see since I use gunsignorearmor.esp i went a bit crazy on the outfits, but since it seems ill be spending a lot of hours on this game might as well have a nice looking character to look at!

 

Edit:just saw that i still had black blossom finger of god installed this is definitely not in line with reload but theres no conflict(will have to uninstall it though this is not a lore weapon at all!)

True but its not too out of place if you consider it the unique for teh Barret in Reload. You do have a lot of clothing mods. I'll have to check those out.

[Brigand231]

Seeing as how you and I seem to be in most of the same threads Frodric, I'm guessing we use a lot of the same ones.

 

Some that I use that I haven't seen your name in or already on your or rhystel's lists (we seem to have quite a few in common) are:

 

Dragonskin Tactical Outfits: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36152

 

TG's Armor Collection: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35740

I have to be careful with this one, it's tempting to do silly things like use gloves that add 3DT and 30% rad resistance for each glove, but the textures and looks are nice!

 

R.A.C.E Station: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34999

People submit music packs ready to go or, like I've done, used the info within to convert my own music to useable in-game content for personal use.

 

BlackWolf Backpacks: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35034

You can find other versions of textures for these too, if you look. This works with Reload and MWE - They can be purchased from Nash at Primm. The description says Gibson too, but that's never worked for me.

 

Portable Campsite: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35134

You probably already knew this inspired the smelting pot we use in Reload, but it's not on anybody's list yet.

 

DreadWolf's 1911 Custom: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37680

Let's face it, weapons wouldn't be as fun without DreadWolf's work. I think this one has even been added to the holdout weapons list, but have not tested it out or looked in to how that works with other weapons mods as far as conflicts. As is, it's set for 10mm but I'm so tempted to tweak it with to match stats with a .45 Match pistol per rebalance and change the ammo... it just somehow feels disrespectful to me to alter someone else's work. I know, I need to get over it. :)

 

DreadWolf's M-14 EBR: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37885

This one was just updated and made Caliber only! Just like with the 1911, I want to bring it inline with something like a rebalance 7.62 sniper or marksman rifle and change it to 7.62x51 Nato instead of 7.62x54R like it currently is, but... I dunno. I wouldn't argue with Leonardo DaVinci and tell him how to paint, who am I to tell someone how to go about their art?

 

Satchels/SCAV: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35904

This one almost reminds me of reload in a way... It allows you to break down armor for component pieces to craft different armor addons from, modify a few vanilla armors, and craft some slightly useful wearable objects for uitility or appearance. Much abuse potential here, as you can break down any nonfaction armor you can wear (I specify that beacuse you have to have training to put on power armor to break it down) into component parts that weigh NOTHING. There are some things it allows you to craft that might be worth a little more than they should be. One thing it is NOT is overpowered - I think my favorite thing from this mod is making a "security vest" from parts, then combining it with a Merc Grunt Outfit to make Mercenary Armor - a light armor with DT of something like 12 or 15 and isn't too heavy - incredibly useful and reasonable stuff.

 

There's some fun companion mods (individuals like Sunny, or systems like Nasco and RR) and homes out there too, but those are more a matter of personal taste and probably beyond the scope of what you're looking for. Thanks for the pointer to this in the Reload thread or I'd never have found it since I don't really do Forums yet. :) Hope you might like some of these!

@Brigand I do find some of those quite useful as I hadn't gotten around to using them when I blew up my in game camera. I'll add them to my load out.

[Brigand231]

Oh yeah, meant to answer something you said in the Reload thread... All of those attachments like HK 9mm Silencer and mags and stuff that work on the 9mm, the 40, the 45 and those UMP attachments, those are all named that way in Reload/Rearm or in resort - Those are like that without WME. Figured I'd throw that out there. I'm thinking you already know, but in case you don't... If you decide to uninstall/untick a mod that adds attachments to weapons, get rid of weapons that have attachments that will "vanish" when you turn the mod off. If you do not, putting your cursor over them in an a container inventory screen or Pip boy screen will make your game freeze. 100% guaranteed, do not pass go do not collect $200, it will crash your game if you bring its attention to the fact that something has a mod that no longer exists on it. I discovered this when first removing Ahztec's replacers and then XCalibr Impulse Buys. Anyway, you likely won't have to deal with that as you're freshly installing, but figured I'd throw that out there. Had I known it as well as I do now I wouldn't have pulled out quite so much hair or wasted a few hours over it. Edited December 9, 2010 by Brigand231

[rhystel]

You do have a couple of interesting suggestion Brigand231 ill try a few of these tonight when i get home... sigh i do spend a lot more time adding mods than actually playing the game! :P

 

@Frodric I wasnt looking at the finger of god mod like this but i'd agree with you (especially since black blossom is a genius at texture and i dont like to uninstall her stuff) I think ill also try your breeze outfit mod looks interesting especially if the part about npc actually changing clothes once in a while works well thats one of the thing i always found weird: people keeping the same clothes on day after day.

 

I'll keep trying a lot of thing so if i find anything interesting ill post it here.

[Frodric]

@brigand Yeah I was testing an Ahztec replacer for a bit and had a weapon in inventory from it and didn't pull it when I uninstalled. Crash city.

 

@rhystel It works just fine.

[rhystel]

Just tried better smoke and ballistics (http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=38550) Cant get the muzzle flash working yet but even with only the smoke its a great cosmetic improvement i also just installed tactical crafting and even though it seems to be well made im just not very interested in the new recipes ill keep it running a while to see if i change my mind but its just not for me i think

[Brigand231]

You got me hooked on Imp's. Congratulations. :)

 

I gave Detailed Normals a try too, and it really does improve appearances, at least on my system.
