FalloutNV:1.2.0

FalloutNV v1.2.0

Changelog   |   Release Date: September 17, 2022

NOTE

This is the current version of the Step FalloutNV Guide. Don't forget to endorse Step on the Nexus if you like the guide. Please report any problems or confusing instructions on the latest Feedback & Bug Reports pinned forum topic.

This Release

This is our third release of the Step Fallout: New Vegas guide (see Step Versioning Documentation). This guide started as an "official" fork of ex-Step staffer, EssArrBee's, "Fear & Loathing In New Vegas", but has evolved over time to adhere closer to the Step Mandate and conforms to the quality and performance expectations of all official Step Guides.

About Step

A Foreword

Created by TheCompiler (Daniele Ferraro), Step is a collaborative project with input from the modding community, technical volunteers, and project administrators. The goal is to provide tested and validated methods for establishing and maintaining an enhanced modded game. Thus, the guide provides detailed, well-tested build instructions for a solid modded game that achieves an enhanced, vanilla experience. It's meant to be installed in its entirety and not piecemeal.

The Step team collects information from the modding community through extensive mod testing, detailed reviews, feedback, and suggestions exchanged on the Step Community Forums. Posting rules apply, so be sure to read and follow them. Engage and enjoy a warm welcome and plenty of high-quality support from a large community of experienced members.

New to Modding?

We recommend that you ...

• read through this Guide at least once before attempting installation.
• follow all linked guides and read through them, as well.

There is a lot of information to absorb and learn in order to successfully build a modded game. We and the community, have brought together a lot of this information into guides as a free and hopefully convenient resource for all. New and experienced modders alike will find many answers within these guides and linked resources. This Guide is written in such a way that it expects users to know the basics of modding and related tools (e.g. mod managers, LOD optimizers, configuration utilities, etc.). However our support forums are always available for our users.

Nomenclature and Instructions

The following nomenclature is used throughout this guide and should be understood before proceeding.

• 'tick' means 'check': Frequently, the word 'check' or 'checked' can mean 'ensure' in addition to "check mark", so 'check' is not used where it is synonymous with 'tick' to avoid any mistakes that can (and have) happened from this conflation.
• Baseline: The recommended install option is shown within the Baseline column of the mod tables below.
• Step Patches: Custom patches created for the respective Step Guides. Always use them!

Minimum System Requirements

We recommend the following hardware configuration for running a Step FalloutNV installation at a resolution of 1920x1080. The minimum requirements will allow most users to install and run the Baseline options, which match FalloutNV's recommended requirements. Our recommended requirements below will allow most users to install and run the Guide using higher quality options with all of the Guide's optional components (Lighting & Weather, ENB, etc.).

Users wishing to install high quality options at resolutions higher than 1920x1080, be advised a more powerful system will likely be required than what is listed below.

Hardware	Minimum	Recommended
Windows OS	Windows 10 64-bit	Windows 10 64-bit
CPU	Intel Core i5-3470 or equivalent	Intel Core i5-4670 or equivalent or better
System RAM	6 GB	8 GB or higher
GPU	Nvidia GTX 780 3GB / AMD R9 290 4GB	Nvidia GTX 970 or equivalent or better / 4GB VRAM or higher
Drive Space	~34 GBs (includes game+guide)	~36 GBs (includes game+guide)
Monitor Resolution	1920x1080	1920x1080 or higher

Time Requirement

Users should be aware that it will usually take anywhere from several hours to a several days to complete this Guide from start to finish. Since this is a start to finish process, a recommend schedule for completing it is:

Day 1 : Steps 1 - 3

Day 2 : Step 4

• Step 4 is installing all the mods. Depending on download speeds and previous modding knowledge, this step could span 1-3 days.

Final Day : Finish the remainder of the Guide.

The overall message here is that Step encourages users to always follow proper computer ergonomics when modding! Remember to take breaks and happy modding!

STEP 1

Game & Tool Installation

Install Direct X 9

Fallout: New Vegas is an older game that runs under Direct X 9. Direct X 9 does not come with the standard Windows 10 package and has to be installed. Therefore, before proceeding with the System Setup make sure to download and install the Direct X Runtime Libraries:

1. Follow the link to Microsoft's page.
2. Download the archive to a location of your choice.
3. Double-click on the file to install.

Follow the System Setup Guide!

Those who have not completed the System Setup Guide should STOP and do so now BEFORE continuing this guide! This is a perquisite for completing any of the Step Bethesda mod-build guides.
NEW GUIDE FOLLOWERS: Deviate from these instructions at your own risk! Instructions in this guide presume that previous instructions have been followed.

FNV BSA Decompressor

NOTE

Based on feedback on the Nexus, this tool does not seem to work with localized (translated) versions of FalloutNV . This is a good place to issue a warning that the Guide was made with the English-language version of FalloutNV in mind, and results with localized versions of the game will vary. Support for localized versions is not provided.

BSA stands for Bethesda Software Archive, a special format used for compressing resource files (like the sounds, maps, animations, textures, models, etc.) for Bethesda Softworks games. An archive makes organizing data much easier than having it exist in dozens or hundreds of separate folders.

As it turns out, however, these archives have some inherent issues (most notably, MP3 files packed as a BSA cannot be played by the game) and are not optimized for performance. Step recommends the use of FNV BSA Decompressor to fix the inherent sound bugs and improve loading times.

Install FNV BSA Decompressor

Using the FNV BSA Decompressor is not mandatory for the completion of the guide, but highly recommended for general performance boost and fixing potential sound issues. Follow the steps below:

1. Download the archive manually to a location of choice.
2. Extract the archive to the *Tools* folders created in the previous section of the guide (e.g. ..\Modding\Tools\FNV BSA Decompressor).

Using the BSA Decompressor is covered in the modding section (Step 4).

Ultimate Edition ESM Fixes

A FalloutNV specific tool that automatically cleans vanilla ESMs for stability and better optimization.

Installing Ultimate Edition ESM Fixes

Using the Ultimate Edition ESM Fixes is not mandatory for the completion of the guide, but highly recommended for general performance boost. Decrease in loading times during area transition was noticeable during testing. Follow the steps below:

1. Download the archive manually to a location of choice.
2. Extract the archive to the *Tools* folders created in the previous section of the guide (e.g. ..\Modding\Tools\Ultimate Edition ESM Fixes).

Cleaning the vanilla master plugins via the tool is covered further in the guide (in Step 4).

STEP 2

Tool Configuration

Mod Organizer - FalloutNV Initialization

FIRST, follow the System Setup Guide. The below instructions describe how to initialize a FalloutNV instance in Mod Organizer (MO). If MO was installed as a Portable application, the instructions below will need to be interpreted accordingly. If a FalloutNV instance was created in Step 1 or otherwise, simply select the instance. Otherwise:

➕ [Click to show]➖ [Click to hide] Initialize FalloutNV in MO

1. Launch MO by running its executable (e.g. ..Modding/Tools/Mod Organizer/ModOrganizer.exe)
2. Upon load, click the Instance Manager button .
3. Click on [Create new instance].
4. Select Skyrim Special Edition and click [Next].

   If the game wasn't found, manually browse to the game's location.

5. Name the instance something like FalloutNV or keep the default. Click [Next].
6. (optional) change the location of data stored. Step recommends the default location, unless space restraints prevent this. Click [Next].
7. A confirmation window will display with the installation information. Click [Finish].
8. MO is now ready to use with this guide.

Step 7

Profile Setup

Mod Organizer's profile feature allows the creation of multiple mod-builds. Begin by creating/editing two profiles for use with this guide:

➕ [Click to show]➖ [Click to hide] Profile Setup Instructions

1. Launch MO, choosing the Fallout New Vegas Instance.
2. On the Default profile, arrange the mods in the left pane in the following order:
   1. FalloutNV.esm
   2. DeadMoney.esm
   3. HonestHearts.esm
   4. OldWorldBlues.esm
   5. LonesomeRoad.esm
   6. GunRunnersArsenal.esm
   7. ClassicPack.esm
   8. MercenaryPack.esm
   9. TribalPack.esm
   10. CaravanPack.esm
3. Click the button on the menu bar.
4. Select the Default profile.
5. Ensure the Use profile-specific Game INI Files box is ticked and click [Copy].
6. Name the new profile Step Fallout New Vegas, or anything similar.
7. Ensure that both Use profile-specific Game INI Files and Automatic Archive invalidation boxes are ticked.
8. Close the window by clicking [Close].
9. Select the Step Fallout New Vegas profile from the profile selection down-drop.
   • If users receive a notice saying some INI files were missing and will be copied. This is normal.
   • If an error is displayed about missing "modlist.txt" files, restart MO (or do a system reboot if one hasn't been done yet).
10. Now click the button and select [Create empty mod].
11. Name it xEdit Output.

Tool Setup

All tools installed in the System Setup Guide should already be configured in MO. Some tools will have been auto-detected and added; nevertheless, ensure the settings below are set correctly for all tools. xEdit is used in this example:

➕ [Click to show]➖ [Click to hide] Tool Setup Steps

1. For xEdit, it is useful to create a mod into which all xEdit ouput can be directed in order to keep it all together:
   1. Click at the top of the left pane in MO, and select "Create empty mod".
   2. Type xEdit Output, and select [OK].
   3. Place this mod at the top of the mod list just below the vanilla game files.
2. Click at the top of the main Mod Organizer window.
3. In the left pane of the executables config, click the [+] to add a new executable, and then [Add from file...].
4. Browse to the SSEEdit.exe file (e.g. ..Modding/Tools/xEdit/SSEEdit.exe).
   • This should auto-fill most of the fields.
5. Change the title to xEdit.
6. Input the following in the Arguments field separated by a single space:
   • e.g. -IKnowWhatImDoing -FNV -AllowMasterFilesEdit
   • "-IKnowWhatImDoing": This turns off a warning presented when users make edits.
   • "-AllowMasterFilesEdit": By default xEdit will not allow master file editing. This enables that.
7. Tick the Create files in mod instead of overwrite box. Select the xEdit Output mod from the drop-down.
8. Tick the Use applications icon for desktop shortcuts box.
9. Click [Apply].
10. Repeat these steps to add the remaining executables as indicated in the table following.

    Arrange the tools in any order using the up and down buttons above the list. This will dictate the order that tools are listed in the MO "Run" dropdown menu. Close the window by clicking the [OK] button.

NOTE

For tools previously installed, adjust the arguments below for use with FalloutNV.

Application Title	Executable	Argument(s)
xEdit	xEdit.exe	-FNV -IKnowWhatImDoing -AllowMasterFilesEdit Tick the Create files in mod instead of overwrite box and select the xEdit Output mod from the drop-down.
xEditQuickAutoClean	xEditQuickAutoClean.exe	-FNV Tick the Create files in mod instead of overwrite box and select the xEdit Output mod from the drop-down.
LOOT	LOOT.exe	--game="FalloutNV"
xLODGen	xLODGenx64.exe	-lodgen -FNV -o:"DriveLetter:\Modding\Tools\xLODGen\xLODGen_Output" Replace DriveLetter: with the drive letter of the 'Modding' folder.

Tools can be arranged in any order using the up and down buttons above the list. This will dictate the order they are listed in the MO "Run" dropdown menu. When complete, close the window by clicking the [OK] button.

BethINI Setup

BethINI needs to be run for the current MO profile to establish the configuration files before beginning mod installation. This ensures that all users share a common configuration during the modding process. As such, please do not deviate from the instructions below.

BethINI Initialization

➕ [Click to show]➖ [Click to hide] Initialize BethINI

1. Close MO and run BethINI (e.g. ..Modding/Tools/BethINI/BethINI.exe).

   If prompted by Windows protection, click More Info and then [Run anyway].

2. When BethINI launches, select "Fallout New Vegas" from the game selection box.
3. Allow BethINI to handle custom INIs, if prompted.
4. Go to the Setup tab and ensure the
   • Ensure the Game path is correct (e.g. ..\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas).
   • Ensure the Mod Organizer path is correct (e.g. ..\Modding\Tools\Mod Organizer).
   • The INI Path name depends on the MO Profile Setup
     • If BethINI does not automatically display the profile created previously, browse to the applicable MO's /Profile folder.
     • Select the Step Fallout New Vegas profile folder, and click [Open].
     • Click [OK] at the prompts to restart BethINI with the desired profile configured. Allow BethINI to handle custom INIs, if prompted.
     • BethINI should restart whenever the INI path changes in order to associate the MO profile information.
5. Return to the Setup tab.
   • The “Automatically Check for Updates”, “Auto-detect Invalid Settings”, “Always Select Game”, and “Modify Custom INIs” boxes should be ticked.
   • If BethINI will be used for multiple games from a single installation, the “Always Select Game” box should be ticked.
6. Keep BethINI open.

BethINI Setup

BethINI Basline Configuration

Users should now continue through each of the tabs within BethINI, matching the screens below. Again, please do no deviate from these instructions at this time. Click the header to see important notes:

➕ [Click to show]➖ [Click to hide] Basic

 

• Window Resolution should match the system resolution.

• Untick the box next to Intro Logos.

➕ [Click to show]➖ [Click to hide] Gameplay

 

NPC Use Ammo is optional, but NOT recommended. The developers haven't provided NPCs with a substantial amount of ammo, so they will run through it pretty fast and then be forced to engage in melee, making the game easier in the process.

➕ [Click to show]➖ [Click to hide] Interface

 

• Users that require subtitles may enable them here.

➕ [Click to show]➖ [Click to hide] Detail

 

• Water and Shadow quality can be increased or decreased based on performance. For baseline setup, leave them as-is.
• Decal Quantity should be increased to [High].

➕ [Click to show]➖ [Click to hide] Visuals

 

Do not change anything.

➕ [Click to show]➖ [Click to hide] Custom

 

Do not change anything.

• Return to Basic tab, and click [Save and Exit].

STEP 3

Cleanup and Considerations

LOOT

At any time during the mod installation process, LOOT should be used to sort plugin load order before running the game. This is necessary to ensure proper plugin priority (load order), which can have a dramatic impact on the game. Users not running the game during the mod installation step of the Guide can wait to sort after this step is complete. To sort with LOOT:

1. Launch LOOT via Mod Organizer 2 from the executables drop-down menu at the top of the right pane.
   • If LOOT fails to start, try adding the following argument as described in Tools Setup: --single-process. If LOOT cannot find the game directory, add the path to the FalloutNV game folder to Installed Path under LOOT settings.
2. Click the [Sort Plugins] icon at the top of the LOOT window.
3. Several plugins will show warnings. The next section describes how to clean them up.
4. Click [Apply] button, which has replaced the Sort button at the top.
5. Close LOOT.

NOTE

When running LOOT before completing the Step Guide, additional warnings may be indicated. These will all be addressed by the end of this Guide.

Up to this point, users should only have the following plugins, in the order listed:

1. FalloutNV.esm
2. DeadMoney.esm
3. HonestHearts.esm
4. OldWorldBlues.esm
5. LonesomeRoad.esm
6. GunRunnersArsenal.esm
7. ClassicPack.esm
8. MercenaryPack.esm
9. TribalPack.esm
10. CaravanPack.esm

If the plugins are not in the order listed, run LOOT now.

Make sure that the line is pasted exactly as provided here and remains on one line.

The tool does not support other games in the Bethesda catalogue and can be deleted once as the installation of the guide is proved to be successful (the test run is further in the guide).

Cleaning Vanilla Master Files

Cleaning FNV's master files can improve stability and reduce loading/transition times, but Step does not reccommend using xEdit to clean vanilla master files (another tool is used instead). We continue to provide general plugin cleaning instructions for those mods that may require it.

Standard Cleaning Procedures

➕ [Click to show]➖ [Click to hide] Toggle cleaning procedures...

1. Run xEditQuickAutoClean from the drop-down executable list in MO.
2. On the plugin selection window, double-click on the mod being cleaned (e.g. Update.esm).
3. Once xEdit is finished, click [X] at upper right to close. A backup of the original plugin will automatically be saved into (e.g., ../xEdit Output/FNVEdit Backups) inside of xEdit Output mod (or in Overwrite at the bottom of the MO mod list (left) pane id previous instructions were NOT followed!).
4. To verify the plugin has been cleaned, LOOT can be run again, and no warnings should be apparent.

Cleaning the vanilla master plugins via a tool is covered further in the guide (in Step 4).

Stability INI Tweaks

This section contains INI Tweaks that are crucial to the game's stability but cannot be implemented via BethINI.

Navigate to Tools/INI Editor on MO's toolbar. Choose the Fallout.ini tab and edit the following lines (or add them if they are not present):

➕ [Click to show]➖ [Click to hide] Removing mouse acceleration...

[Controls] fForegroundMouseAccelBase=0 fForegroundMouseAccelTop=0 fForegroundMouseBase=0 fForegroundMouseMult=0

➕ [Click to show]➖ [Click to hide] Improving memory management...

[General] bPreemptivelyUnloadCells=1 [BackgroundLoad] bSelectivePurgeUnusedOnFastTravel=1 [Audio] iAudioCacheSize=8192 iMaxSizeForCachedSound=1024

➕ [Click to show]➖ [Click to hide] Multi-threading support...

Step recommends to input the actual number of cores on the CPU. Here's how to discover the number of cores for those that need a guide].

[General] bUseThreadedAI=1 iNumHWThreads=4 -->adjust this number to correspond to the number of cores on the actual CPU used.

• Click [Save] when ready and close the window.

Understanding the Step Patches

A “conflict resolution” patch, or CR Patch, is a plugin that resolves conflicts between various active plugins. They allow using various mods together without any major issues while still achieving the desired outcome from the mods. Thus, the Step Patches are one part patch and one part mod.

The Step Patches are built specifically for the Step mod list. They are required and are dependent on specific mods as noted in the mod list. They will not resolve conflicts with any applicable mods that are not within the guide's mod list, though.

Step Patches

1. Step FalloutNV - Conflict Resolution Patch (Step Patch - Conflict Resolution)
   • For those that would opt for their own custom lighting and weather mods
   • Patches all applicable mods except for Lighting & Weather mods
   • Required for all users!
2. Step FalloutNV - Lighting & Weather Patch (Step Patch - Lighting & Weather)
   • The current version of this guide does not utilize or require a Step Patch - Lighting & Weather.
3. Step FalloutNV - Post-Processing Patch (Step Patch - Post-Processing)
   • The current version of this guide does not require post-processing patch.

STEP 4

Step FalloutNV Mod List

At this point, the PC modding environment should be fully set up and ready for mod installation.
IMPORTANT: Please read ALL of the following carefully!

• This guide can be installed in one of TWO ways:
  1. All mods from all ModGroups (mod tables) installed. This is recommended, due to the coordination of this build in terms of lighting, weather, and ENB. These are usually the most difficult aspects of a build to get right, given vanilla Skyrim's rather wonky lighting 'incoherence'.
  2. All mods from all ModGroups EXCEPT for the optional ModGroup, 18-Lighting & Weather. Use this approach if a custom lighting/weather solution will be applied. Note that our post-processing configuration will likely not be compatible, so this is essentially much like #4 (we obviously can't support a custom configuration for this aspect of the guide).
• After installing a mod, ALWAYS enable the mod and any related plugins in MO unless otherwise instructed.
• If no Notes or Step recommendations are provided for a particular mod, all options are valid.
• Mods should be arranged in MO in the order that they are listed to ensure other mods further down the list overwrite/override those occurring before them.
• Mods are listed in alphabetical order within each Mod Group and any deviations from this are purposeful to achieve the desired outcome.
• Always install plugins (ESMs/ESPs), unless otherwise noted.
• Always follow LOOT's advice in regards to mod cleaning and sorting unless otherwise noted.
• Do NOT extract BSAs if support is expected.

ModGroup Separators

Mod Organizer features the ability to create separators within the mod list to group mods for easier visual reference. Step recommends using these separators for each ModGroup below:

➕ [Click to show]➖ [Click to hide] Steps to Create MO Separators

1. Click at the top of the mod list pane.
2. Select [Create Separator], and give the separator a name. Step recommends using the Mod Group names (i.e., Extensions, Resources, Lighting & Weather, etc.).
   • Create a new separator for each new Mod Group while working through the Guide.
   • Separator colors can be customized by right-clicking on any separator and selecting Select Color.

				Mod Name	Baseline	Instructions

				FNV 4GB Patcher		Detailed Instructions available
Even though the GOG version of Fallout New Vegas is pre-patched to make the FNVPatch.exe executable able to use up to 4GB RAM, this guide still requires users to install the FalloutNV 4GB Patcher from Nexus regardless, as it has a built-in compatibility with NVSE and shaders like SweetFX and Reshade. ROOT FILES INSTALLATION Download the latest version. Choose manual download from the download tab at Nexus. Place the FNVPatch.exe file into Fallout New Vegas\ (not the data directory!), usually found at ...\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas. Run FNVPatch.exe. SETTING UP MO Use MO to call the game executable, not "NVSE" or the launcher. The game is now "patched" to see 4GB of memory and will automatically load NVSE if present.

				NVSE		Detailed Instructions available
ROOT FILES INSTALLATION Download the latest archive. Place all *.exe and *.dll files into Fallout New Vegas folder (not the data directory!), usually found at <.../Steam/steamapps/common/Fallout New Vegas>. Should be four files: nvse_1_4.dll nvse_loader.exe nvse_editor_1_4.dll nvse_steam_loader.dll Various online guides suggest users to create a custom NVSE.ini file to handle memory allocation. This is no longer required as the most current version of New Vegas Tick Fix (NVTF) provides memory handling instead. Attaching memory handling functions to NVSE while using NVTF simultaneously might ultimately decrease game stability instead. RESTART MO If NVSE is installed correctly, MO will detect it and show it in the executables drop down.

INSTALLATION Download and install the latest version. The full functionality of this mod can only be unlocked in windowed mode. It is recommended to use it in conjunction with One Tweak. Do not use this mod with an ENB, they are not compatible. .INI FILE SETUP WARNING: These edits must be repeated every time the mod is updated. It is recommended to change some of the default INI settings: Double-click the mod in Mod Organizer and select [Ini-Files]. Find the following lines and change their values to the ones suggested (save and Exit when done): bRedoHashtables=1 bModifyDirectXBehavior=1 bEnableThreadingTweaks=1 bToggleTripleBuffering=1 HIGH FPS (ABOVE 60 HZ) TWEAKS The Havok engine that's incorporated in Fallout New Vegas causes various bugs at FPS above 60Hz. For most users Step recommends capping the games maximum FPS at 60 via the videocard drivers. However, this might not be desired by users who own high-end videocards and monitors capable of refresh rates above 60Hz. The following sections support for those that want to play the game at higher than 60 FPS: Use your videocard drivers to cap the game at the desired FPS. Double-click the mod in Mod Organizer and select [Ini-Files]. Now go to the [FPSFix] section and adjust the iMaxFPSTolerance to the desired maximum FPS amount +60. For example, if your monitor's refreshrate is 120 Hz, you should set the value at (120+60)= 180. You MUST ensure your game FPS do not go above iMaxFPSTolerance =be it with an FPS capper or another method, otherwise the game's logic will speed up. Find the following line in the [GTC] section and make sure the value is set as suggested: bFPSFix=1 Those that still experience issues should try the alternative FPS Fix: [GTC] bFPSFix=0 bAlternateGTCFix=0 In same occasions playing at high FPS will cause the so-called "Spider Hands" glitch (player's fingers growing longer). Find and modify the following line to fix it: bSpiderHandsFix=1

				New Vegas Heap Replacer		Detailed Instructions available
INSTALLATION Download the archive from Nexus, using the Manual Download option. Open the archive and extract d3dx9_38.dll from that folder into Fallout New Vegas\ folder (not the data directory!), usually found at ...\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas. While the archive i9s still open, extract the contents of the Data folder (it should contain just a folder named NVHR) into FNV's Data folder, usually found at ...\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas\Data. Make sure that you extract only the contents of NVHR's Data folder and nor the Data folder itself. To check it, navigate to FNV's Data folder, usually found at ...\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas\Data and check its contents.

				One Tweak		Detailed Instructions available
One Tweak works in fake fullscreen mod, which itself works only under capped FPS. While opting not to install One Tweak will not have any adverse effects on gameplay itself, it prevents crashes when minimizing the game to the Windows taskbar and turning additional monitors on a multi-monitor configuration on/off. Still, guide users that prefer to play in fulscreen mode should skip this mod. INSTALLATION Download and install normally through MO. FALLOUTPREFS.INI EDIT Once the installation is complete, click the Tools button at the top of MO and select INI Editor: Select the FalloutPrefs.ini tab and check the value of the following line: If the line does not exist, paste it in. If it exists, make sure their values are exactly the same as below. [Display] bFull Screen=0 Save and close.

				ShowOff NVSE Plugin		Detailed Instructions available
Download and install both ShowOff NVSE and ShowOff INI main files. Select Merge when prompted. (Alternative download link:Github link. Use only if the file is not on Nexus.)

Game Launch Test

At this stage, the preliminary build should be tested to confirm that there are no issues with the modding environment or engine-level mod configurations:

1. Start the game by running the NVSE launcher from Mod Organizer. The game should load to the main menu without issue.
2. Exit the game using the standard menu options.

If the game launched and loaded as expected, continue forward. Otherwise, all instructions were not followed, and something was missed. Revisit the installation steps above starting with the System Setup Guide in Step 1. If a careful review of the previous instructions does not resolve the issue, post on the guide support forums for help.

WARNING

Beyond this point, DO NOT launch the game again until instructed to do so.
Many of the following mods are interdependent, and launching the game prematurely will most likely result in issues or failures. Please DO NOT post on the forums for support of non-issues relating to a failure to RTFM.

Mod List Cleanup & Performance Check

Final Sorting and Cleaning

Before moving on, run LOOT from MO, then sort, and accept the default load order provided. Review the mod list in LOOT looking for any plugins reported as needing to be cleaned. Keep in mind that LOOT tends to lag behind on the report information, so it will not always be accurate. Make sure that the following mod(s) are not cleaned:

• Wasteland Flora and Terrain Overhaul - it's a false positive in LOOT.

Ignore any reported missing compatibility patches or other warnings. These are either handled by the Step Patches or not of any concern. Perform the standard cleaning procedures on the mods requiring cleaning.

Be aware the Step Patches are designed to work with a default, LOOT-sorted plugin order. This eliminates the need to set rules on the load order. From this point on:

• Ensure all applicable mods are ticked in the left pane of MO.
• Ensure all plugins are ticked in the right pane of MO.
• Sort the load order using LOOT whenever plugins are added/removed.
• Update LOOT (the program and masterlist) whenever updates are available.
• Open Tools->INI Editor in MO and select the falloutcustom.ini tab. Make sure that the ini file is empty. Edits made within falloutcustom.ini will overwrite all other ini tweaks and can break Archive Invalidation, resulting in texture issues.

FPS Management

NOTE

Step recommends to cap your maximum FPS for Fallout New Vegas on all configurations in order to avoid collision-related glitches that appear when the framerate exceeds 60 Hz.

The goal at this point is to have at least 55 FPS in exteriors on average. Fallout New Vegas uses Havok software to simulate physics in-game. The software is perfectly attuned to work on FPS up to 60 Hz, but causes all manner of collision glitches once that limit is exceeded. For this reason Step recommends to limit the game's frame rate to 60 Hz through your video card's software. There are plenty of guides online on how to do it based on the user's video card model.

Alternatively, one can set their FPS at a value higher than 60 Hz (and up to the monitor's native refresh rate), provided they tweak NVTF's settings as explained on the respective mod's Wiki page.

Another consideration is that One Tweak works in fake fullscreen mod, which itself works only under capped FPS. While disabling One Tweak will not have any adverse effects on gameplay itself, it prevents crashes when minimizing the game to the Windows taskbar and turning additional monitors on a multi-monitor configuration on/off.

In case ini changes in One Tweak should be reversed, simply follow the steps on the mod page and set bFull Screen=1 in FalloutPrefs.ini after which One Tweak should be disabled alltogether.

Performance Tuning

It's recommended to use either third-party applications like FRAPS or driver software. Optional instructions are provided to assist.

➕ [Click to show]➖ [Click to hide] Benchmarking Instructions

Take a moment to configure the chosen FPS overlay as described above. If FRAPS are used, install into e.g., C:/Modding/Tools/FRAPS.

1. Launch Fallout New Vegas, and start a NEW game to verify that it loads without issue.
   • Ensure that the FPS overlay is working.
   • NOTE: If the game crashes at any point, there is a problem with load order, enabled mods, or any number of things missed in the above instructions. Please troubleshoot by validating that all instructions have been followed. If custom mods have been installed and enabled, disable them.
2. Create a character to test initial frame rates. Complete the initial quest in Doc Mitchell's House and exit it through the front door.
3. Take a walk around Goodsprings and measure the FPS.

Performance/Quality Optimization

There are many things that can be modified to improve performance and quality, depending on the performance headroom available. Following are some suggestions listed in descending priority:

1. Consider revisiting the BethINI Setup to set the [Low], [Medium], [High], or [Ultra] preset until FPS is close to or greater than targeted.
2. Consider tweaking the ini settings of High Resolution Bloom NVSE.
3. In case of poor performance disable the following mods and then regenerate lod.:

• Much Needed LOD
• TCM's LOD Overhaul
• Much Needed LOD

STEP 5

Post-Processing

Notes on ENB Series

As ENB was designed and optimized specifically with Skyrim in mind, it does not work as flawlessly with Fallout New Vegas. In recent years New Vegas Tick Fix (NVTF) does a much better job at memory management, performance and stability than ENBoost. Since the author of NVTF advise against the use of ENBoost or ENB (see the sticky post), this guide also recommends not to use any of them.

In addition guide users can refer to this forum post by Audley in which he discusses how the software AA provided by ENBoost/ENB presets is inferior to the hardware AA applied by Fallout New Vegas.

ReShade

All things considered, Step suggested using ReShade as the post-processing injector of choice for Fallout: New Vegas. It has three distinct advantages over ENB:

• It does not disable native hardware AA, but works in conjunction with it;
• It does not conflict with NVTF;
• It is much easier to install and utilize, requiring significantly less tweaking in the process.

Should ReShade be desired, start by installing the Preset listed below first and then proceed with the Reshade Injector.

NOTE

Installing ReShade is purely optional . Installation and usage should come last in the set-up, after all other mods have been installed and tests have prtoven that the game runs smoothly.

21-Post-Processing

Mods that affect post-processing graphics **installation is optional** Please check the screenshot comparison on the Nexus to decide whether to use ReShade.

				Mod Name	Baseline	Instructions

				Vanilla Plus ReShade Preset		Detailed Instructions available
Download the arhcive to a location of choice. Extract the contents to Fallout New Vegas folder (not the data directory!), usually found at <.../Steam/steamapps/common/Fallout New Vegas>.

Other ReShade presets just as well, as long as they were created for the weather mod of choice.

After installing the preset, proceed with ReShade's installation with the following options:

➕ [Click to show]➖ [Click to hide] Show installation instructions

 

1. On the "Select a game" screen choose FalloutNV.exe, then [Next];
2. On the "Select the rendering API" screen tick Dircet X 9, then [Next];
3. On the next screen click [Browse], navigate to the game's folder where the preset was installed and select ReShade Vanilla Plus.ini, then [Next];
4. Reshade will choose the packages based on the preset, so click [Next] without modifying anything on the list.

STEP 6

Level of Detail (LOD)

Now that all the mods and patches have been installed/sorted and performance margins are acceptable, the next step is to generate custom LOD data for the mod list. Recommended settings correspond to rendered game resolutions that can benefit. Using 'higher' settings will otherwise be a waste of PC resources that may be necessary to keep frame rates above 50 FPS. Use 'lower' settings as a compromise if necessary.

NOTE:

Any time a mod providing LOD assets is added, removed, or changed, LOD should be regenerated. Examples include --but are not limited to-- most of the '04-Foundation' mods, Wasteland Flora and Terrain Overhaul, any mod that has LOD in the title, etc.

Before moving on, create an empty mod for the LOD output:

1. Click on the button and select, [Create empty mod].
2. Name it Step FalloutNV - xLODGen Output (this will only be used as a resource for xLODGen).
   • This places a new, empty mod at the bottom of the mod list.
3. Find the FNVLODGen mod from the 04-Foundation mod group and ensure it is enabled.

xLODGen

xLODGen is run to generate updated LOD terrain textures and meshes so that landscape LOD is updated with mod changes:

Preparation

➕ [Click to show]➖ [Click to hide] Sort Plugins

1. Sort your mod order with LOOT.
2. Ensure that FNVLODGen.esp and tmzLODadditions.esp are last in your load order on the right-hand side of MO.

Generation

➕ [Click to show]➖ [Click to hide] Terrain and objects LOD generation

1. Run xLODGen from the MO executable drop-down list.
2. On the left pane, select all worldspaces.
3. On the right pane, make sure that only Terrain LOD and Objects LOD are checked.
4. Under the Objects LOD section, change the Atlas size option to 8192 x 8192
5. Click [Generate] to run the process, which will require upwards of 15 minutes, depending on the PC.
6. Once the "LOD generation complete" message has appeared, close xLODGen.

Wrap Up

➕ [Click to show]➖ [Click to hide] Terrain and objects LOD wrap up

1. Navigate to the xLODGen output folder (e.g. ..Modding/Tools/xLODGen/xLODGen_Output).
2. Back on MO, open the Step FalloutNV - xLODGen Output mod in an Explorer window (Ctrl+double click).
3. Cut and paste the files from the LOD generation to the Step FalloutNV - xLODGen Output folder. Close both folders.
4. Enable Step FalloutNV - xLODGen Output mod.

When to Regenerate LOD

xLODGen

Whenever there are changes to the mod list that affect the underlying landscape: height, shape, textures, etc.

STEP 6

Final INI Configuration

Step Fallout New Vegas is fully installed and working at this point, but if FPS are bellow 60, some adjustments may be beneficial to performance or quality. A final consideration is customizing BethINI (under "Performance/Quality Optimization).

STEP 7

Mod Configuration (MCM)

The game is now ready to be loaded to configure mods in the Mod Configuration Menu (MCM). The MCM a mod that allows mod authors to provide custom, game-accessible settings for their mods. Recommendations are provided below for select mods. The remainder are user preference.

First Launch

To run the game, select the New Vegas (not the Launcher) executable from the drop-down list and click the Run button. Keep the following in mind when first launching from a fresh Guide installation:

• A new game is required!

  In other words, don't load from a save when first launching after a fresh guide install to avoid issues. Review the changelog before upgrading from a previous version of this Guide to determine whether or not a new game is advisable.

• When launching the game for the first time after a Guide install, the load could take significantly longer than normal. This will only be a one-time wait as all the installed mods are being initialized. Subsequent load times should be shorter.
• Once the main menu loads, Vault Boy's head icon should appear in the bottom left corner of the screen. Move the mouse cursor over it. It should dispay your current version of NVSE, JIP LN Plugin and Johnny Guitar NVSE. If the text appers, the extenders installation has been successful.

Failure to launch/Crash to Desktop

As reported in the Feedback Form thread, the game might crash to desktop when launched for the first time. The cause was tracked to the lStewieAl's Tweaks' configuration file that comes with the Step Conflict Resolution Patch.The author of this guide could not replicate the issue, but here's a solution for those that experience CTD:

1. In the left pane of MO, double-click on Step Patch - Conflict Resolution to open the menu.
2. Navigate to the INI Files tab and click Open in Explorer, then open nvse_stewie_tweaks.ini.
3. Open the Search menu (Ctrl+F) and search for bRestore2Hotkey.
4. Once the string is found, change the value from 1 to 0, like this: bRestore2Hotkey = 0.
5. Save the changes and close the text file. The game should now launch on the next attempt.

Once the game launches successfully, users might attempt to re-enable this function from the in-game menu (under Settings -> Tweaks).

Start a New Game

In order to configure in-game and settings, the player should start a new game. Once the intro movie finishes, the player wakes up in Doc Mitchell's house and is prompted to modify main character's appearance and to choose a name. Once that's done, press Esc to open the Pause Game menu.

Disable Auto Saving

Before you do anything, go to Settings and then Gamplay and disable all manners of autosaving. Fallout New Vegas sadly has unresolved bugs in its vanilla saving scripts than can lead to broken savegames and you may lose your progress. To prevent loss of savegames, Step uses the Savegame Manager function of lStewieAl's Tweaks (already preconfigured in the ini file included in the Step Patch - Conflict Resolution) which will automatically save the game every 30 minutes.

Control Key Settings

To set up the controls, simply go to Settings and then Controls. Initially Step recommends to change only the following keybinds:

• Run: R-Shift (Right Shift)
• Block: set it to the right mouse button
• Ammo Swap: -

Gaming Mouse Support

Remapping hotkeys to mouse buttons in Fallout New Vegas is not very intuitive. Basically users have to navigate to Settings, Controls and then look for a Device option appearing in the bottom-right corner of screen, as shown on the picture:

The "Device" option is highlighted

lStewieAl's Tweaks Hotkeys

The following keys are bound to specific functions activated via lStewieAl's Tweaks. They can be changed by navigating to Settings -> Tweaks menu (recommended option) or within the the NVSE_stewie_tweaks.ini file which comes with Step Patch - Conflict Resolution:

• Toggle Night-Vision scope On/Off: N
• Search Inventory: Ctrl+F. (obviously the inventory has to be opened first)
• Full Save Hotkey: F6
• Incremental Save Hotkey: F7

STEP recommends using the Incremental Save function from lStewieAl's Tweaks instead of the Quick Save function of the base game.

Mod Configuration Menu Settings

ExtraHud

ExtraHUD is one of the components of OneHUD - oHUD and allows the player to add extra additional elements to the in-game HUD. This guide highly recommends players to activate the optional "Hardcore Mode", so they will need to visualize the needs meter.

General Menu

Select extra elements to appear as HUD

Hardcore Needs

Encumberance (as % of total Carry Weight

DarnUI

The latest version of Darnified UI adds extra HUD elements similarly to the ExtraHUD module of OneHUD - oHUD, so the player has to choose the extra HUD elements of one mod over the other. The Step Guide recommends to use OneHUD, as all its HUD elements are dynamic (meaning they can be hidden under certain conditions, de-cluttering the UI) whereas elements added by Darnified UI are static and cannot be hidden.

Main Settings

Open Meter Settings, Statistic Settings and Extra Settings and disable everything. All extra UI elements will be genearated by OneHUD as explained above.

Immersive HUD

Another component of OneHUD - oHUD, it allows the player to configure the conditions under which HUD elements will hide and appear. Refer to the picture below to configure the Main Settings, setting the hide conditions for each HUD element is user preference.

General Settings

JIP Companions Command and Control

The following keybinding is recommended.

Recommended Keybinding

Just Assorted Mods

Just Assorted Mods is a collection of (mostly) UI mods that aim to add modern shooter game mechanics to Fallout New Vega. Step recommends to enable only the components listed on the picture.

General Settings

The settings of most of Just Assorted Mods' components is up to user preferences, except the following:

Weapon Hwheel

Just Vanilla Sprint

The hotkey suggested for Just Vanilla Sprint might conflict with the vanilla hotkey for walking/running. Users should reconfigure the "Walk/Run" hotkey in game settings, or change the Just Vanilla Sprint Hotkey.

Animated Cigarettes

It is recommended to disable the Bonus Effect of smoking (as shown on the picture) provided by this mod, as the bonus is too powerful.

Animated Cigarettes

Animated Indigestible

Adds animations for eating and taking chems, which is great for realism, but be careful when taking chems in battle - the animations take time, so the effects aren't instant.

Global settings

Food and Drinks

Chems

Handbottled Water

The author of this mod is not a native speaker, so keep in mind that "Capsule" on the image bellow stands for a bottle cap.

Main Settings

Ragdolls

The Recommended options are on the picture:

Ragdolls

Unfound Loot

The Recommended options are on the pictures:

World items

Corpse loot

Remaining Mod Configurations

The remaining mod configurations are recommended to be left at their defaults for the closest to vanilla experience. However, users may adjust the settings for these mods to their preference.
