dimetime35c Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Now I know everyone's pc is different so what might be max for one person won't be for others. What is a good way to judge you've reached the limit in terms of number of mods you have? Also would texture packs stress the game more then like gun add ons? What would be a good like ratio between texture packs and content packs be??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meihyr Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Probably the most effective method is testing how far you can go. What mods you can and cannot use on a disposable save rather than one you intend on keeping. Depends on the size of the texture packs and your PC.

DoctorKaizeld Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 255 .esps is the hard max, but there's very little reason to get anywhere past 150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gromulos Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Depends on your system for maximum number of mods, my system is low end so at 138 mods in fallout New Vegas i am fine, 139 mods or more and infinite load lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmongo Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) As was already said, 255 is the absolute max, but most folks report trouble long before they reach that number. There is no hard and fast limit to where you will run into problems, but around 130 to 140 is where it starts to go south for most folks. I personally noticed landscape bugs first before I had any other problems. This is where the landscape turns big and blotchy and low-res. I found that on my system, if I just stood still for about 10 or 15 seconds and gave the game time to catch up, the landscape weirdness would often go away. I have since merged a few mods, removed some I didn't really need, and ended up reducing my overall mod load so that now I've got somewhere around 110 to 115 mods or so and I don't have any problems now. I had close to 160 mods active at one point, and other than occasional landscape weirdness I never had any other problems. My texture detail is also not set to max. I set it to max at one point because I added a mod where the textures wouldn't work properly on any lower setting (a common problem with textures on some mods, I don't know what they are doing wrong when they generate their textures but I do know how to fix it). With the higher resolution textures and the additional mods placing more people in casinos, I ended up with a game crash every time I went into the Atomic Wrangler.

gromulos Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 hope you're not using AWOP - it completely ruins DUST as it makes it WAY too easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorKaizeld Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 a world of pain? no i didnt get that, i just have a few mods that makes the game feel more Dust like. though i did cheat a little and gave myself a railway rifle a 24 spikes. it just didnt make sense to me to start with no weapons when it clearly sounds like i have been there a while... though i can also say that it sure as hell doesnt make things much easier. freakin tunnlers to the left and high level zeds to the right, i would like to find a mod that replaced the tunnlers with raiders or something though. not to make it easier, i just hate fighting tunnlers and geckos.
