GUIDE Fear and Loathing in New Vegas - Feedback

Nope, definitely the Nuka Cola mod. I disabled only that mod, and it made my framerate jump to 60.

Aaaaaah someone help, I'm drowning in items! Please tell me one of the mods adds sortomatic function to the Novac room house? 

[aleysie]

i don't know is there a mod for that room but you can use mobile truck base. it has sortomatic and mobility and near to novac and cheap and has some sweet color options :D

 

i feel like winnebagoman

winnebagoman

Had no idea what this was. Googled. Best 10 minutes of my day. Thanks :D

Are there any mods that make it so that enemies actually fall back when you kill them with your fists? Currently they just crumple into a heap unless you use a power fist or something.

 

Also are hair outlines a vanilla problem? Seeing them even with ENB off.

 

Finally, does anyone else get clipping with ghouls wearing hats? It's especially noticeable with Doc Holiday from New Vegas Bounties II. Part of his forehead sticks through his hat.

Don't think this is a vanilla problem. It's a head mesh missmatch afaik (hair mesh is bigger than the head mesh). Or might just be the specific hairstyle (I have some too on some ghouls).

[Jax765]

No, it seems to be a vanilla problem, just checked now.

BTW - previously I mentioned how I was going to re-install mods to figure out why my framerates were so low with F&L fully installed (without the crossbow mods, btw).  Well, I only got part way and then took a break from Fallout NV to mod Skyrim instead for the time being.  So I never got through all the mods to figure out which ones kill the framerates.  As is, I reinstalled up to Nevada Skies.  I remember with no mods installed I was getting 60 fps all the time.  Where I'm at (from the beginning of the mod list down to Nevada Skies), I remember that I was getting from 51 to 60 fps on the street right outside of Doc Mitchell's house, seemingly dependent on how quickly I panned from side to side (the quicker I panned from front to back the slower the fps readout).  Anyway, figured I would mention this since people are discussing FPS.  I'm not sure which mod or mods have caused the FPS drop, but I actually don't think it was the texture mods... Not sure why I think this right now, but I think I vaguely remember disabling all the other mods and only enabling Poco Bueno just to see if it would drop the FPS down at all from 60.  Sorry, my memory of it is not perfect as I did this over a month ago...

Hmm with 0 mods enabled? 

 

Rose tinted glasses at it.

Completely vanilla except for Darn UI and NVAC.

Texture mods affect your VRAM more than anything. If it pushes the VRAM past your card's limit, you'll start to get stuttering and frame drops. So if you have a 2GB card like me, a reasonable number of texture mods won't have a major impact on performance.

Wonder if I should remove Hall of Equipment. Some of the retextures manage to look worse than vanilla.

I don't think the top one is worse, especially with ENB.

It seems as though he took the original textures and doubled the size, so they're less blurry, but as a result, the ugliness stands out more.

It's just the linen. Linen is so tough to get right with textures, too low res and it's blurry, too sharp and it looks more ugly.

The clothing replacer gets it right. Just use that and reduce the textures if you need the VRAM. It keeps it's quality at half size.
