OGMailMan

I have a bug that I've had since install/for months now but didn't bother to check what the issue was until now (it's also a late-game gun that you wouldn't notice for ages so I get why it's gone unnoticed). Basically the Ranger Sequoia textures are messed up badly (see image). This is caused by a clash of meshes and textures from the following mods: Weapon Mesh Improvement Mod, Simplified Weapon Retexture Project - WRP, and WTH - Weapon Textures from Heaven. The simple solution I found is going into Simplified Weapon Retexture Project - WRP and hiding the mesh files "rangerseqoia.nif" and "rangerseqoiaGO.nif", I didn't do extensive testing so not sure if both or only one of those files needs to be hidden, but I did try hiding the texture files in WTH and it didn't fix it, and hiding the mesh files in Weapon Mesh Improvement Mod and it didn't fix it. Presumably the textures from WTH needed the meshes from Weapon Mesh Improvement Mod and aren't compatible with the mesh changes in WRP.

I have a lot of mod recommendations but filling them out individually for the mod page is rather tedious and time-consuming, so I'm going to list them all here and if a moderator would rather remove it that's fine. I also understand that Majorman will be on leave from the guide so I don't exactly expect these to be considered or added any time soon. This is listed in terms of what I think can be fairly accepted into the guide, to ones that I know are a little stretch since they add/change canon game stuff. New Vegas Uncut - Panzermann's Edition - https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/76167 A revised version of the Uncut Series as well as Outside Bets. Outside Bets is such a good addition of small pieces of cut content that really adds a lot to the game that I would really like to push to be added into the guide. This is an all-in-one file for the Uncut Series (Outside Bets is separate) so it does make the individual Uncut mods in the guide redundant, as well as messes up with stuff that's fixed in the STEP patch. Main Story Alterations - https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/63870 See above description, it's basically the same. All-in-one file for some cut content mods that are already in the guide as well as other additions. Elijahs Last Words fix - https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/44929 Fixes what I think is definitely an oversight in a Dead Money perk. Any Glasses With Any Mask Revised - https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/75689 Small gripe of mine that has no issues "fixing". Better Character Creation - https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/70973 Speeds up initial character creation, I mainly like it for the specialized gear based on your tag skills. The Living Desert - https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/64623 I like the additions of making the worldspace feel more impactful due to the player's decisions, the only major conflict it poses right now is FCO which this patch; Susalona's Patches 2020 and Beyond - https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/68813 fixes. This patch page also contains potential fixes for issues between FCO and Spice of Life+YUP if those fixes haven't already been implemented with the STEP patch. Mobile Truck Base Remastered - https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/71536 It's cool and ads a lore-friendly way to fast travel.

Discussion topic: Power Armor Visual Enhancement (PAVE) by Strider5 Wiki Link A more modern and less clunky retexturing of New Vegas' Power Armor. Should make Book of Steel (https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/39873?tab=files), Book Of Water - Armour Fixes (https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/66772), and Book of Steel - Compatibility Edition (https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/60666) all irrelevant unless I'm mistaken and there's some things that are missed. As far as I'm aware the Update File - PAVE Compatibility Plugins resolves potential conflicts anyway, just disable the TTW esp. I am unsure to any conflicts with Robert's Male Body.

Discussion topic: Better Brotherhood by PlatinumShad0w Wiki Link The mod description explains it well, but basically fame opportunities are very small for the Brotherhood and even with siding them it's almost impossible to become idolized with them, this mod changes that among other things. Adds a lore-friendly unmarked quest to return Brotherhood tags just like the NCR and Legion, adds an extra ending for a Brotherhood-Independant Alliance and flavour for that (the Brotherhood helping in the Battle of Hoover Dam without an NCR alliance on the side of Independant), and various changes to NPC services and equipment. This mod does make Veronica Companion Weapon - Recharger Pistol (https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/41248) which is already in the guide irrelevant by changing her 10mm Pistol to a Laser Pistol.

Thank you very much! I figured it was over there but I couldn't tell.

Can I recommend mods to be added here?

Thanks for the work. I failed to mentioned that with the combat armor the issue was only present when I had a weapon drawn and walked around, That Gun was the main one I saw the issue with, it was much more minor with the female body but still there. I don't know what issues it could be on my end.

I found another tree that has the same issue of floating up from the ground, this one is around the Southern Nevada wind farm, even after redoing LOD it is still present sadly.

Ignore the fact that two of these pics are taken outside of repconn, I didn't decide till after completing the quest Come Fly With Me to actually fix it so just used console to spawn him. Jason Bright's retexture looks kinda crappy, especially indoors - doesn't look like he glows at all tbh, not sure if this might have something to do with one of the lighting mods. But the main ugly issue is the seam in the meshes, this mod fixes that - https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/72708/?tab=description

Thanks for the long reply about all my issues! In regards to the Combat Armor, just checked then and the clipping is present as both male and female, the above mod I posted fixes it for both.

This next one is really annoying because for the life of me I can't figure out which mod would add the "tattered decal" version of the motorcyle helmet, but basically you can wear the 1st recon beret with it (which you really shouldn't be able to) and it clips horribly with it anyway.

This one I don't have a fix for, as in there are no easy mods that resolve it, the Legion Vexillarius helmet has major clipping issues, the goggles into the face (see my above post about NCR trooper helmet as well, it's literally the same thing) as well as the full helmet into the legion armour (and presumably other armour as well).

Hello! Me once again, there is a very annoying clipping issue with the Combat Armor, Reinforced (MK1). Have no clue what it could linked to if it's Roberts Male Body or something idk. Anyway there's literally a mod that just fixes it though lol - this one: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/74168?tab=description

Another very small issue, not sure if it's affecting other trees but this one on the north road out of Goodsprings appears to be floating off the ground by a bit.

Love this guide as a more fleshed out alternative to VNV. Finished modding today and started started streaming it on my twitch. One small issue I've noticed is that YUP supposedly fixes a texture clipping bug with the NCR Trooper Helmet (one with glasses), but I'm pretty sure this is undone by using the FCO faces etc. I fixed this myself by simply using the file that comes in this: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/69516/ and making my own zip archive to install through MO2. Oh also FO3 Weapons Restoration has this weird flag in LOOT, it's not mentioned in the guide so not sure whether to do the manual edit or not. Lmao and while I'm here I'll just say you have a small spelling error here, For.
