You can try to install the .7z archive file. The installer may tell you the file exists so if it does, click [Merge]. Then the installer will run and when it does click [install]. After that it may tell you that the file exists again, so click [Merge]. That may get you around the .fomod extraction step.

I got the humble sega bundle just for alpha protocol. I had it for xbox, and it got me like $3 trade in value. Now I own it forever, so that works for me. I pulled the trigger on Max Payne 3. Why not? I actually have been playing a few things on my Steam list that I never got to like Blood Dragon and the second half of Sleeping Dogs. Now only 48 or so games I've never even downloaded to go.

I'm actually a bit ashamed that I didn't realize that. I will also do an Improved Sound FX/WMX patch for the POP version and add it to the patch page I made. Completely unnecessary. I already have the WMX-MergedDLC.esp version of Holorifle WMX if you want it. https://copy.com/DOnbkvTdo71UZyGs

Is Max Panye 3 Complete worth 7 bucks?

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm testing tapioks new enhanced shaders right now because it has a version that works for IMODs. That is a must with the vision modes in project Nevada. Also, it has like 5 different performance versions so anybody can pick a version. I couldn't get the 4gb loader to work by putting the d3d9.dll in the exes folder. I had to switch back to the injector version and it works fine. Performance is t as good but nothing I can't live with. DoF in enhanced shaders is the best I've seen in any enb regardless of the game. So subtle you almost won't notice it is there and I think that is the point.

sometimes the files get set as read only. Just go to properties on the FNV folder and then untick the read only checkbox if it is blue and then it should ask to set it for all the sub folders and files in the whole directory. Also, do it for the INIs in my documents since every time you start the launcher it tries to reset stuff. And, apparently Windows 8.1 has some kind of problem.

That setting has been changed a few times. It used to be better at 128/256 and now it seems to be better at 64. With Boris you never know about these things, I doubt it would be the cause of CTD. Lots of crashes are probably the result of bad saves or to many mod conflicts.

Will, I see you found some of my typos. Maybe I shouldn't be typing up any guides at 2 am. :p I am testing NSkies MCM right now in fact to see if it is going to work with the current version. I'll look at the other fix and see if it is needed. If I do a fallout 3 guide it will be with TTW, but I don't have a Steam version of F3, only disc, and it is lost somewhere in my house.

There are two mods that do companion sandboxes. Companion Sandbox Mode and Improved Companion SandBox both look good and I'm wondering if anyone has used the second one. I have used Companion Sandbox Mode for a while and if anyone has input about the other then I'd like to here it.

Good stuff roots. I'll look over everything you posted to make the guide more clear. Thanks for that. I never have had that problem unless the game directory is in program files.

For the Enclave just released it's final version. So, I'm thinking of putting it through the ringer.

DDSopt and BSAopt should be safe repacking any other game that isn't Skyrim right? I know that Beth changed something in the BSAs, but that wasn't for other games, so it should work.

Literally, anything else not named Internet Explorer. Firefox, Opera, Chrome, you pick whatever you like. Ahhh... ninja'd

I need any suggestions for mods you might have. Any thing about the guide for general stuff like order of mods. I need pretty much anything and companions and quests would be next.I'm starting on conflict resolution at the moment so that is in the works. A little optimization section is also on the docket.

I know it has some mcm menu options to adjust things to fit lore.

Yeah just load all your mods in Fnvedit and if it doesn't finish loading then you'll know if you are missing a master. It should also list what is missing as well.

Already better. I just noticed it right now that I'm finally off my phone and I didn't notice that it was any longer to scroll through, but there was just more info. 15 is a good number.

I'm also, looking at antistar's (WMX author) Dragonskin Tactical gear, Flashlight NVSE, Precision Clutter, Continue After Game Ending (CAGE), and Portable Campsite for the hardcore guys. I've got my hands full ATM with a bunch of good mods. I'm really going to work hard at keeping the plugin number to under 100. I know that just isn't possible, but if I keep that number as my goal, then I figure I won't ever hit the 140 limit. Should have EVE on the guide tonight and the beginning of the patch info, just weapon stuff that Bashed Patch won't cover.

I thought all keyword and item counts needed to match the amount of columns below it.

@Victor you mean someguy and his mod Russel. I'll check out the conflict and see what I can do when I get there. I am pretty much done with eve testing maybe a couple hours tonight before I put it on the guide. Improved sounds fx doesn't need a patch for the latest version so that is awesome. There are conflicts between some of the patches though, I will need to create a combined PN/WMX/EVE patch since having separate does not allow bashed patch to work. It is only so powerful. Since eve was kinda the last thing I wanted to get into the guide before redoing intro/outro, descriptions, headings, and layout. That means I'm going to be working on that and doing the conflict/patching sections. After that I'll do quests and companions, then start re-evaluating textures and other stuff.

Match this with Alternative Crafting System and you got a nice way to get stuff taken care of without a forge.

To many hair/face type mods can do that. Other than that make sure your whole ENB/NVSE/4GB thing is working right. Maybe try skip the character creation and 'coc' somewhere from the start screen. Then you'll know if it could be one of those mods that add a bunch of stuff to characters.

We tried to get rid of them but it creates other warnings when you change the order. Some of the warnings aren't even correct.
