Backing up a FNV modded game

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Unsure if this is the right subforum for this. Sorry if it's not. Regardless, I'd like to backup FNV with all mods, saves and the ENB I've got, but I'm unsure how. (eg: what files to backup) Could someone help me out with this?

 

btw, I plan to stick the backup in cloud storage.

Basically you just want to copy the installed game folder (<exclude the path to>\"Fallout New Vegas") and all the subfolders. The save game files, however ,are located in the "C:\Users\<youraccountname>\Documents\My Games\FalloutNV" folder, along with the INI files. Just copy that entire subfolder (FalloutNV) and any subfolders as well.

 

Be advised it is going to take several 10s of GB of storage, depending upon the number of mods you have installed and save game files.

Do I not need anything from the NMM files? (eg: C:\Games\Nexus Mod Manager\FalloutNV\)

Nope. Not for the game. NMM (or any mod manager for that manner) is a completely separate install. The information about the game is "configuration data" it stores. You can back it up separately in a similar manner, but as I don't use NMM I have no idea where the files it uses are located. Starting place would be the folder where it is installed and then the documentation.
