BossHippopotamus Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I've come back to New Vegas recently, but I've had trouble with mods. Part of me wants to just throw tons and tons of mods in there, but I get constant crashes (I did make a merged patch in FNVedit), so I know i need to scale it back. Project Nevada, FOOK, New Vegas Redesigned, WMX, and Mission Mojave are the "big" mods I've been trying to get to work together. What do you guys think are the core "essential" mods, either from that list or others I don't know of. What combination of mods would you reccomend?

Xaranth Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Astymma's compatibility skeleton is always my first install. After that there's Willow, Niner, Andrea (ARES Project), uhm... AWOP, though I ended up not keeping it. New Vegas Bounties I and II NVSE, of course, along with NVSR. Do you do screenshots? You'll want a few pose packs; I recommend the Backsteppo Port and For a Few Poses More NV, along with Face Aches For Fallout NV. Body replacers? And if you do, Nivea's got awesomesauce in Spice of Life. A lot of Just For Fun clothes in Kristina's Closet by Jonas66. Then there's Geonox's Riot Armour and Geonox's Hardened Armour and their Type 3 Conversions. Millenia's got a huge array of new guns and weapon textures to make things interesting.

trilioth Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Essential to me means MMUE, FOOK, Project Nevada, MCM, WMX, The Weapon Mod Menu, DarNified UI NV, oHUD. I doubt that would ever play with out those mods. I also enjoyed some extra spawns, so I went with Increased Wasteland Spawns and DFB - Random Encounters. But having the extra spawns might have been overkill. It certainly made the game harder for me, playing a character that uses only light armor, but after all that fighting I did, I reached level 47 without having run through Old World Blues or Dead Money DLCs and there is a quite a bit I have not explored. Some of that had to with the fact that I almost never used Fast Travel. Project Nevada has in game settings for reducing the amount of experience gained, so that could have been mitigated. I recommend watching Gopher's Videos: and . He seems to stand behind NMM, but I am firm user of FOMM for installing. He explains the use of FOMM in some of his earlier videos and the use of NMM in his latest videos. You'll find the a link to DarNified UI NV in the comments of one of Gopher's Videos. I am not sure if I am allowed to share that link here, seeing as it is not hosted at the Nexus. I know that kind of thing was frowned upon in past from some of the comments I read on Oblivion mods. Edit: formatting and clarification on the Gopher's Videos. Edited January 25, 2013 by trilioth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
