NMC How it works?

[kntowrry]

Hi everyone,

I am new to adding mods to my games and am a bit confused as to NMC.

 

I would like to make some observations and if somebody, if they have time, could comment on them and let me know if I am viewing this correctly.

 

I read that NMC will not show up in the FOMM as it is a direct texture change.

 

I ran the Archive Invalidation program which didn't seem to have any affect.

 

The Green Glow to FO3 atmosphere is gone so I assume NMC is working.

 

I have texture mods in Oblivion and the effect is quite dramatic.

 

The NMC texture affect is not quite so dramatic as my Oblivion mods. If it is working correctly, it eliminates the vague look of things and objects and much more defined and clear. There are more colors and they are sharper.

 

That is what I have come up with so far. I am not a great modder as I like the games as is except for the textures. I do look for a more realistic looking world.

 

Any comments would be appreciated.

 

Oh and another thing, since NMC does not show up in FOMM I can run the game with the regular exe which by itself may eliminate the crash I had running from FOMM. I did run the 4GB patch file.

The Green Glow to FO3 atmosphere is gone so I assume NMC is working. -*- NMC doesn't alter the green tint, you need a weather mod to do that, like dynamic weather

It's not as good as TES because the people are too busy being grumpy to each other.

FOSE is required by a few mods so it's safe to just go ahead an get it running so you can launch it easy.
