Would someone please tell me how to install NV mods?

[ohemmgeezers]

I'm new to installing mods and everything, and my dad isn't the best teacher. Could someone please give me step by step instructions on how to install them?

Most mods should have either installation instructions in the description or a readme file, but heres how to install most mods:

 

Download the compressed file onto your computer

Uncompress that file

Move any files in the uncompressed folder to the data folder of New Vegas

default directory path for 32 bit machines: C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\fallout new vegas\data

default directory path for 64 bit machines: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\fallout new vegas\data

 

If there are any folders in the uncompressed folder such as "meshes" or "textures", copy the entire folder into the NV data folder as well

Run FalloutNVLauncher.exe

default directory path for 32 bit machines: C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\fallout new vegas

default directory path for 64 bit machines: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\fallout new vegas

 

When the splash screen loads click data files and make sure there is a check mark next to all the items listed, then close that window

 

You are now ready to play and enjoy New Vegas with whatever mods you choose to install.
