Viva New Vegas - A Fallout New Vegas Modding Guide
"If you want to see the fate of democracies, look out the window"
So, it has come to this. I've been debating doing a guide like this for a while now, and I guess im just gonna take it on. Fallout New Vegas is a wonderful game limited by a garbage engine and consoles. Luckily, we have these things called mods that can fix all of our problems, while causing many, many more. Fear and Loathing in New Vegas by EssArrBee is a great guide, but he stopped updating it about a year ago. So, you can think of this guide as an updated Fear and Loathing. This guide aims to fix vanilla bugs, enhance the vanilla game, and add content that fits right in with the base game. There will be a lot of mods. A lot a lot of mods. Be prepared for this guide to take you multiple sessions to complete. With the amount of mods installed we will need to merge some, so this is a rather advanced guide. Do not use this if it is your first time modding a Bethesda game. Special thanks to TDarkShadow for helping me make this along the way.
- Any questions/problems with the guide can be directed to my Nexus page here.
- You can join the discord here for troubleshooting/help, general chat, or suggestions
Other Guides I Suggest
- Fallout 4: Crossing the Great Wastes by Ape75
- Skyrim Special Edition: Lexy's: Legacy of The Dragonborn Special Edition
- Fallout New Vegas: Rika's guide to FNV modding (Less content additions, more stable)
Pre-installation Checklist
- A fresh installed, legal copy of Fallout New Vegas, with all of the DLC. I suggest you install it on an SSD if you can
- Launch the 'Fallout New Vegas Launcher' and have it pick a preset for you. This is just to set your .ini files, the actual settings will be tweaked later
- Disable the Steam Overlay for Fallout New Vegas. You can do this by right clicking on the game in the steam library, click properties, and under the 'general' tab, uncheck 'Enable Steam overlay in game'
- If I don't give any special install instructions, just install the main file
My Sysyem Specs
- i5 7500
- 8GB 2400 DDR4
- Rx 470 4GB
- 250GB Samsung EVO SSD (Where my FNV is installed)
- Windows 7 Pro (Really suggest 7 over 10, especially for modding Fallout New Vegas. Windows 10 seems to make FNV crash frequently and broke the ENB .dll file, not to mention the adware/spyware that cannot be uninstalled. If you are on 10, I may not be able to help you with windows related problems)
Prerequisites
- Mod Organizer 2 - By far the best mod manager for Fallout New Vegas, 3, 4, Skyrim, and SSE. For an explanation of its advantages and a basic tutorial, watch Gopher's video here. Install it to your New Vegas main directory. Join the team's discord here for ~weekly dev builds
- FNVEdit - Will be used to create merged patches, clean plugins, and add bash tags to mods later in the guide.
- Download Generate Bash Tags.pas and the scripts from TES5EditScripts.
- Navigate to the scripts in windows explorer and move the scripts to the "...FNVEdit\Edit Scripts" folder.
- Wrye Flash NV - Creates a bash patch to help increase compatibility between mods and merge compatible plugins to reduce load order. Download the standalone executible file and extract the 'Data' and 'Mopy' folder to the New Vegas main directory.
- LOOT - Helps sort load order and detect which mods need cleaning.
- Merge Plugins - Merges plugins to reduce load order. We'll go into detailed install instructions towards the end of the guide.
Configuring Mod Organizer
- Launch MO2, and on the pop-up box the says 'Choose Instance,' pick 'Portable.' On the next pop-up, select your New Vegas game directory
- Click 'no' on the Start Tutorial pop-up
- Click 'yes' on the pop-up that asks Mod Organizer to handle nxm links
- In the right pane, right click and hit 'enable all'
- In the left pane, allign the files in the same order that they are in the right pane
- Launch the game, and then immediately exit. This is just to set the .ini's in MO2.
- Click the 'Configure Profile' button on the top bar that looks like an ID card
- Click on the Default profile, and click copy.
- Name the new profile 'Viva New Vegas.' Make sure 'Default Game Settings' is un-checked.
- Select the profile and check 'Automatic Archive Invalidation'
- Close out of that box
- Select the new profile in the drop down menu right above the left pane.
- Click the 'Configure Settings' button on the top bar that looks like a screwdriver and wrench.
- If you are using an SSD, click the 'Paths' tab, and set the 'Downlaods' directory to a location outside of the SSD
- Click on the 'Nexus' tab and check 'Automatically Log-In to Nexus,' type in your username and password, and click 'Associate with "Download with manager" links'
- Click Ok
- Click on the 'modify executables' button on the tool bar that looks like two gears
- In the 'Title' box, type 'LOOT'
- In the 'Binary; box, click the three dots on the right and find where you installed LOOT and double click LOOT.exe
- Click 'add'
Repeat the previous three steps for: FNVEdit, Merge Plugins, and Wrye Flash
- Close out of MO2 for now
INI Tweaks
There are a few INI tweaks that will be needed for mods later in the guide, and also some performance and stability improvements.
- Open the INI Editor in MO2 and in the 'FalloutCustom.ini' tab and add:
[General] bUseThreadedAI=1 INumHWThreads=2 bPreemptivelyUnloadCells=1 bLoadFaceGenHeadEGTFiles=1
[BackgroundLoad] bSelectivePurgeUnusedOnFastTravel=1
[Controls] fForegroundMouseAccelBase=0 fForegroundMouseAccelTop=0 fForegroundMouseBase=0 fForegroundMouseMult=0
Utilities
NVSE
- Extract the 4 .dll files and the .exe to the New Vegas main directory
- Open MO2, click the screwdriver and wrench button directly to the right of the profile drop down menu, click 'install mod,' navigate to where NVSE downloaded, double click the .7z file, and right click on 'Data' and click 'Set data directory'
- Right click on your desktop and create a new folder called 'NVSE.' In that folder, create a new text document called 'nvse_config.ini' (Make sure you have application extensions visable and replace the .txt with .ini) In that .ini, add
[Memory] DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=420
- Save the .ini and exit
