dragoon7 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I am rather new to installing mods. I have a bunch of mods that I would like to install to Fallout New Vegas, and I need some advice. Reason I am asking is because some of the instructions in the mods state that I need to install the mod manually. Can these be installed using package manager, or do I need to actually unpack these mods? Also, when I try to install certain mods, the package manager says the mod is missing a script that is needed to install it correctly. Do I need to install these manually, or is there something else I need? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if they state explicitly they need to be installed manually, then you won't be able to use a package manager. Also, when I try to install certain mods, the package manager says the mod is missing a script that is needed to install it correctly.

Yeah I think if htey don't have the associated script, then they weren't set up with a package manager in mind, and that results in you probably having to do it manually.

dragoon7 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Would it be better to just manually install all of the mods, and just avoid package manager all together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devinpatterson Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Would it be better to just manually install all of the mods, and just avoid package manager all together? I don't use them at all. In fact for the last few months I'v been archiving mods up into bsa's....ever since I found a total file count over 10,000 in my new vegas folder. But lots of people use package managers.
