/v/ - Video Games

Light up and smoke them cigarettes and Project Nevada. I never thought I'd enjoy a Bethesda game, and I still don't after finding out it's made by Obsidian.

>>15136825

I've got a playthrough going now. I mostly went off of the Fear and Loathing in New Vegas guide on the STEP wiki ( http://wiki.step-project.com/User:EssArrBee/FalloutNewVegas ), but I've got a lot of mods included as well that don't appear in that guide. Here's my mod list:

https://pastebin.com/UVPeYtsd

Note that not every mod in that list is actually included in my game (the mods with a + next to their name are activated and the mods with a - next to their name are deactivated) and that some of the mods (e.g. "FNVLODGen Output" and "Cleaned DLC Plugins") are ones that I generated myself rather than downloading.

Also:

>note that I've got a number of overhaul mods in this list, some of which overhaul the same parts of the game, so I've got a specific load order for them (one that's not actually replicated in the list I had generated to link in my Pastebin), there were a lot of compatibility patches I applied and then a few conflicts that I had to go in and fix manually in my merge patch on top of that.

>skip Salt Lake Stories - I haven't gotten to its actual content yet, but I can tell that it's going to be a shit-show. It's a German-made mod that's allegedly a follow-up to Honest Hearts… and it also adds a sex system to the game. A sex system that you'll get nag messages about when you're first climbing out of the bed in Doc Mitchell's clinic. A sex system that receives no mention whatsoever in the mod description.

>the reason why I've got a bunch of different deactivated body replacers is because of New Vegas Redesigned - New Vegas Redesigned is fucking weird in terms of its installation requirements, in short. None of this is mentioned in its mod description, but it expects you to use vanilla male bodies and Type3 female bodies and will have problems with its character models if you either replace your male body meshes or don't replace your female body meshes.

>Rags to Riches gets pretty god damn insane with the amount of money it throws at you. Just for one thing, there's roughly a million caps' worth of gold in a stack of unlocked tiny boxes next to Caesar's bed that's not even marked as actually belonging to anyone, so nobody minds if you just steal it right in front of all of The Praetorian Guard.

>I've meant to add on the mod The Solid Project, but I also meant to try it out first to make sure it's not a performance-wrecking scripting clusterfuck and I just haven't gotten around to that yet.

>Powered Power Armor includes a lot of really obnoxious custom voice acting for when virtually anything happens to you in power armor, but it's simple enough to just replace the sound effects for that voice acting with blank files.

Now I have a chance to ask a question regarding NV modding. I've noticed that, after installing just a few mods, the game starts to run increasingly slower as I play.

To be specific, I may have, say, 20 mods installed, none overlapping eachother and in the right load order, and for the first 10 or so minutes of playing I get a good 60 fps or somewhere in that range;however, as it goes on, the game begins to lag increasingly over time.

Anyone know what mag be causing this or what I can do to fix it? It has kept me from enjoying a lot of mods.

>>15138054

The obvious culprit would be runaway scripting. I don't suppose there are specific mods (scripted gameplay overhauls like The Solid Project would be the heaviest in terms of the amount of script load they're putting on your game) you've identified that are causing it for you?

>>15138070

It's been a while, but I used to have Project Nevada and all of the Someguy quest files. Basically, a lot of the mods that are recommended in the FNV modding pastebin often posted in Fallout generals, especially back in cuckchan

>>15136837

> I never thought I'd enjoy a Bethesda game, and I still don't after finding out it's made by Obsidian.

Obsidian made it, bethseda published it.

probably

Is there a way to make a melee build viable with Project Nevada? The damage tables are rather realistic and I struggled to get any powerfisting done in my current plauthrough as I had planned. I quickly saw why swords were obselete when automatic guns arrived.

I want to do a legion playthrough next and true to legion military doctrine I want to chop shit with a machete all day.

>>15139628

>his mod list fits on to one page's worth of scrolling

ain't that a kick in the head

Further note if you're planning on going for an extensive load order: Note that on top of the 255 plugin cap that the Morrowind engine's had since, I think, Oblivion, it also has a cap on how many plugin files you're allowed to have in your data folder (whether they're activated or deactivated) before the game starts bugging out hard, and whereas for Skyrim that cap is ~400 plugins, for New Vegas that cap is 137 plugins. You can get around this by changing the file extensions of your deactivated mods to dummy them out and by merging your activated mods together. Don't suppose that could be your problem, >>15138054 ?

Anything made by Hitman47101 especially his First Person Animation Overhaul mod. For some reason he took the mod off the Nexus so you'll have to find it somewhere else.

>>15141156

I can't really find any others that interest me,i'm mostly a new quests kind of guy,and a world of pain kind of sucks ass.

>>15141156

I've never found a need for more than 100 mods, there's a lot of worthless mods that aren't worth it.

>>15145348

40k mods.

All of them.

>>15145452

>hurr durr I come into every thread and shit on the subject because I'm a fucking loser and want everyone else to be as miserable as I am.

>>15136837

Speaking of which, when will Obsidian create a Fallout game using 4's engine?

is there any information on this mod / mods like it

>>15145348

rollan

Big Iron

>>15145568

Never in a million years.

First off, Obsidian replaced talent with marxist homunculi.

Second off, Bethesda was hummiliated on the world stage after old Obsidian made NV so much fucking better than anything Toddler Todd has ever made, or will ever make in the future. Why do you think they're totally giving up story telling in favor of the kindergarden crowd?

>>15145271

Ideally you wouldn't be touching your game directory at all; an addon system/virtualized file system like what Mod Organizer offers really should have been the way it worked by default from the start, but - Bethesda/ZeniMax ever actually improving the Morrowind engine's mod support? Never.

In any case, use Mod Organizer. Having different mods all needing to be crowded into one data directory overwriting each other irreversibly is a nightmare even if you don't have the thing of being unable to get your game back to being a fresh install without actually reinstalling it.

>>15145442

See my mod list, bucko, and just adding on the compatibility patches you'll need to get the different overhaul mods fully functioning together will pile up your plugin count like nothing else, if nothing else.

>>15145568

Well,

>a. the Obsidian we have today is not the Obsidian that made Fallout: New Vegas - they're not going to be able to make a new Fallout game faithfully with the staff they have now

>b. Obsidian barely survived having ZeniMax Media Inc. (((work with them))) the first time (and ZeniMax Media Inc's strategy of draining the funds of the companies they (((work with))) dry to try to soften them up for a hostile takeover is arguably one of the main things that turned the Obsidian that made Fallout: New Vegas into the Obsidian we have today) - if Obsidian have any sense left whatsoever they're going to know to stay the fuck away from Bethesda/ZeniMax

>c. you can see in the way Bethesda/ZeniMax employees approach New Vegas in interviews, etc, that they take it as a personal insult the way New Vegas came out compared to their own attempts at making a Fallout game, and especially how much better New Vegas sold than Fallout 3 did - ZeniMax/Bethesda are run by incompetent people with massive egos; they're not going to let another studio upstage them again the way Obsidian did with Fallout: New Vegas

Also, >implying Fallout 4 has a different engine

I wanted to like Honest Hearts, but all the religious christcuck bullshit they put into it really put me off from it. Still haven't beaten it yet.

>>15147535

I imagine you'd be displeased to learn about Driver Nephi being from Utah, having been a Mormon before he got fucked up on chems, and Bert Gunnarsson in the Aerotech refugee camp having been one of his friends back in Utah who's now trying to get him away from his gang and back into the Mormon faith. And then there's the whole Vedic culture of Shady Sands/The Republic that's mostly been forgotten about by the developers except for the Karma system still being around and cows inexplicably being called Brahmin everywhere in Bethesda/ZeniMax's Fallout games. But then you might just be a bit pleased at how it's not a Christcuck religion at play there.

>>15145571

xilandro never releases anything cuz hes a gunnetwork faggot

he made an entire working bow made

gave it to like 5 of his friends

and never released it lol

>>15147323

>made NV so much fucking better than anything Toddler Todd has ever made,

Don't talk shit about Daggerfall, Morrowind and Oblivion anon.

Just one question, i played vanilla fallout nv few years ago and the shooting system was just a bit less clunky than fallout 3 system.

Do these hardcore survivial mods improve the shooting mechanics? I can't imagine them using unchanged shooting mechanics in any situations where single shot can make the difference between life and death. Any gameplay videos?

>>15157397

>not using fast travel on a game that doesn't provide any form of travelling apart from walking

>>15157450

How about you walk down to the Centrelink and get a fucking job

Use JSawyer Ultimate so it's compatible with pretty much everything, and if you need a dedicated grenade button like PN there's a separate mod for that I think.

Also on my current playthrough I was looking for good quest mods. Everyone recommends the Someguy Series so if you haven't played any of his mods before they're all pretty good. I also really liked Autumn Leaves, the writing is actually decent and the theme fits in with the rest of the DLC. I also came across a mod called REPCONN Blues that's a pretty decent short quest, you get a heavy weapon that shoots harpoons and a blueprint to turn the REPCONN rocket souvenirs into grenades.

>>15145348

I'm not even going to play it I just want my numbers

>He didn't even install the train mod.

>>15161325

If it's just unused texture then it will be fine. However, some mods are dependent on others so be careful.

Load order from my last playthrough, nothing too fancy.

no one's asked the real questions though, were do I download the porn mods?

or more importantly the extra non-porn fanservice mods that don't break the atmosphere?

>>15145348

rollan, what can go wrong

>>15136825

Jsawyer's and all the random performance/bugfix mods are pretty much all you need, if you really care about ultra HD gwaficks and want to install all the texture packs then you can figure that out for yourself quite easily.

>>15145348

roll again because I like choosing between two options

Holy shit, I'm playing this game on PC and only played on console before, but how the fuck is this unstable? I have like seven mods installed and they are basic shit. I even have NVAC and that greatly helped delay crashes, but they are still a regular fucking occurrence. Does the 4gb patch help?

Oh and is there anywhere to pirate just the DLC? I already have the base game.

What's really cool is that there's now a project from the same guy to redo a lot of the voice acting in the game as well.

Just a couple of things with New Vegas Redesigned, though:

>None of this is mentioned in its mod description, but it expects you to use vanilla male bodies and Type3 female bodies and will have problems with its character models if you either replace your male body meshes or don't replace your female body meshes. Yup, just copy-pasted this one from my first post in the thread.

>Be prepared for the dead bodies of a number of female characters to inexplicably have their tits out. Expect to see exhibitionist Legion slaves presenting themselves for invisible Legionaries.

>>15147323

>Obsidian replaced talent with marxist homunculi.

Obsidian has been pozzed for over two decades my dude.

>>15187497

A. Why did you bump the thread nigger.

B. Why didn't you take care of the Powder Nigger problem before.

>>15187519

A. It's a new vegas thread

B. There were a couple still alive behind the prison

>>15187524

Fine.

Why not ignore them, they're going to die out anyways if you killed the prison niggers and, I uh forget what happened to the Vault ones who I think you can convince to stop acting like niggers.

>>15138054

I used to get similar when I used to play with a massive mod list, its honestly not that much trouble to restart the game every hour or so, they say a little break every so often is good for you

>>15187519

>Asking why a vidoeo games thread was bumped with relevant discussion

This isn't some faggot forum for autistic children where "necroposting" is frowned upon. fuck you.

Should I play the DLC before or after finishing the main quest line?

>>15145196

>holding the hand

>>15145255

was it martin's monsters mod? iirc he ported his oblivion version into 3/nv and added some other shit, they were unbalanced as fuck and basically deathclaws on cocaine, and i could never get that unlimited followers mod to work for some reason

>>15196033

Finishing the main quest line finishes the game, so before.

How can you niggers keep replaying this game? Yeah it's an amazing game when you play it for the first time, and second, etc. But after like fourth time it's fucking boring. It doesn't have enough variety in gameplay or dialogue

>>15196210

That's fixed with DLC or mods.

>>15185844

>The Rainbow Confederation was going to appear in Fallout 2 but was cut from the final version.

at least someone had common sense.

>>15204892

Hence the mods, anon.

>>15205145

Which DLC lets you keep playing after the main quest is finished? Lonesome Road?

>>15205506

None of them

>>15209561

Yes you don't specifically need that 4gb patch, there are others. I for example used a generic program that was used to make games use 4 gb ram IIRC, but I don't remember the name of it. You can probably find it with google

>>15209561

>>15209582

Thanks, though apparently they enabled LAA for the GoG version

https://www.gog.com/forum/general/mod_spotlight_fallout_3_new_vegas_tes_iv_oblivion_415de/post25/?staff=yes

Have no idea what is causing the freeze so I will live with it

>>15209585

Try using this 4gb patcher with the GOG version

https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/59451/?tab=description

I have no idea why but I was having the same issue as you with all sorts of different weird bugs before the game would crash. I would end up crouched permanently even when not sneaking, gun sounds disappearing, gun shot/laser burn decals constantly flickering, etc.

In fact, I almost want to say wait for a good sale and get the Steam version. I've had so many countless problems with the GoG version that I suspect there's more going on with that version than simply patching the .exe to be LAA.
