NOTE
Changes to the live guide can occur at any time between releases (see page footer for last edited timestamp), so review this changelog to see what may have changed since your 1.2.0 build date.Post-Release Changes
- Added instructions to expand spoilers and mod table rows, as it evidently isn't obvious to people that fail to read (so this addition is likely moot)
Nexus Versioning
- Patch Version 1.2.2 - released in January 2022. Fixes Biped slot entries on "Spice of Life" armors. Adds a mesh fix for NCR Goggles.
- Patch Version 1.2.1 - released in January 2022. Fixes visual gliches on Brahmin corpses.
Those that have installed the mods flagged as "Dropped/Replaced" and have started their playthrough should skip these changes.
08-Character Appearance
- Added
- Jason Bright Head Seam Mesh Fix: Solves an old issue FCO introduced.
09-Fixes
- Dropped / Replaced
- Ammo Burst Case Count Fix: obsolete, fix included in lStewieAl's Tweaks
12-Gameplay-Economy
- Dropped / Replaced
- New Vegas Economy Improved: removed by mod author
- Added
14-Gameplay-Quests
- Added
- Brotherhood and House Truce: now fully compatible
- Dropped / Replaced
- BrotherhoodHouse Alliance: removed as the alternative Brotherhood and House Truce now comes in a version that causes no conflicts.
15-Gameplay-Skills & Perks
- Added
- Repair Bladed Weapons with Whet Stone All DLC (Scriptrunner) the original was taken down, so I recreated it.
- Dropped / Replaced
- Repair Bladed Weapons with Whet Stone (With DLC Support): was hidden by mod author.
What's New
Version 1.2.0 of the official STEP Fallout: New Vegas guide focuses on animations, sounds and weather and lighting effects, made possible thanks to the advancement in scripting.
- 1. Animations: The kNVSE plugin has started a revolution in combat animation; animation packs of dedcated animations for firearms, unarmed and melee weapons were added.
- 2. Weapon and explosion sounds are enhanced with mods that utilize scripts for better compatibility.
- 3. Various lighting fixes, better looking moon at night and dust effects in the distance.
- 4. Mods that "add" content reduced in favour of cut content restoration.
An in-depth changelog is listed below.
Changelog Format
The changelog format has been modified to improve readability, group like-changes together, and include more information about changes made. We hope these updates will help to improve workflow when updating to a new version.
Step Patches
Also see the forum topic.
Step Patch - Conflict Resolution The main conflict resolution patch is required for the intended mod build to function properly. Mods on which the CR patch depends are indicated by a vertical green bar to the left of the mod name in ModGroup tables.
Guide-Level Changes
Added section on cleaning vanilla ESMs and Re-compressing vanilla assets.
Mod-Level Changes
Legend
Added | new mod added (add these mods)
Moved | mod was moved to a new ModGroup (move these mods)
Updated | mod instructions updated
Incorporated | mod is included in the Step Patch - Conflict Resolution (remove these mods)
Dropped / Replaced | mod was removed (remove these mods)
01-Tools
- Added
- FNV BSA Decompressor - pre-modding tool for stability and performance.
- Ultimate Edition ESM Fixes - pre-modding tool for stability and performance.
02-Extenders
- Dropped / Replaced
- Ogg Vorbis Libraries - automatically updated by the FNV BSA Decompressor
- Moved
- KNVSE Animation Plugin - moved to 03-Resources. It's a stepping ground for animation mods, but does not provide any essential engine-level stability fixes.
03-Resources
- Added
- ISControl Enabler and Ironsights adjuster (now ESPless): Simply has more functions than Iscontroller.
- Dropped / Replaced
- Iscontroller: See above
- Moved
- In the last days of v1.1.0, all of the following moved to 02 - Extenders. Re-posting here for those that haven't noticed. All are stability fixes that extend the game's functionality.
04-Foundation
- Added
- New Vegas Mesh Improvement Mod - NVMIM: a relatively new mod. Fixes almost every mesh in the game and is lihter than Collision Meshes. One day will replace Collision Meshes entirely.
- Fallout 3 Weapons Iron Sight -Modders Resource- V1dot3: required by the next mod on this list.
- Fallout 3 Weapons Restoration: a simple restoration of Fallout 3 weapons to the game. The assets were already present, just unused. Not as ham-fisted as Project Nevada - Equpment Standalone.
- Moved
- Asterra's Many Fixes: technically moved here from 09 - Fixes late during v. 1.1.0 of the guide, but in case it wasn't noticed. It's fine for this to be overwritten.
- Improved_Sound_FX_v0821: moved here from 07-Sounds and Music
Updated | mod instructions updated
- Asterra's Many Fixes: no need to hide folders anymore.
- MGs Neat Clutter Retextures: reduced the number of "loose" retexture files, as most get overwritten anyway.
- Improved_Sound_FX_v0821: due to the removal of Project nevada.
- Dropped / Replaced
- Project Nevada: it was a great mod for its time, but is too outdated. There are better mods out there that do the same thing.
05-Animation & Physics
- Added
- A lot of dedicated weapon animations:
- Moved
Long time time ago this section was called "Animation and Effects". Since the "effects part was dropped off, none of these mods belong here:
- NV Compatibility Skeleton - to 06-Models and Textures
- EXE - to 06-Models and Textures
- Shishkebab Torch Light - to 06-Models and Textures
- Thermic Lance - Fire_effects - to 11-Gameplay-AI & Combat
- Centered 3rd Person Camera - to 09-Fixes
- Better Gas Leak Effect - to 06-Models and Textures
- Dropped / Replaced
- 360 Movement: it is a bit too much for the engine to handle. Requires heavy patching to work with animation mods and at present, does not support all possible locomotion animations. There's no first person support for some of the animations. Other animations work only for a specific gender. It's easier to simply drop it for now.
06-Models & Textures
- Added
- Accurate NASA Stars: realistic looking
- HD Moon 2K - NASA Satellite Images: High-quality textures
- Decayed Ghost People - Fixed: - a fixed version of Decayed Ghost People
- ETJ Realistic Enhanced Blood Textures: fixes some mesh issues with blood textures of Enhanced Blood Textures (see below)
- Elegant Lockpick Retexture: replaces Hectrol Lockinterface and looks better
- Playing Cards HD Retexture: high-quaality retexture of all playing cards and casino tables.
- Skinned Mesh Improvement Mod: a realtively new mod, it fixes all (or almost) creature meshes. Fully compatible with Ragdolls, as they modify different meshes.

- FNV LOD Supplementation: even more LOD meshes and textures.
- TheFriedTurkey 3 Creature Pack: the securitron meshes and textures look great.
- Cool Dogs: increases the immersion by replacing NCR's mingy mutts with proper dogs. Restores an unused German Shepard model to the game.
- Nut Water Overhaul: better water textures and some additional tweaks.
- George's Dead Money Retexture: retextures almost all of Dead Money.
- Dropped / Replaced
- Dead Money - Decayed Ghost People - replaced by a better version of the same mod
- Enhanced Blood Textures - replaced by a better version of the same mod
- Hectrol Vegas Sewers Deluxe HighRes Retex: replaces a single texture that is covered by NMC's Texture Pack anyway.
- Hectrol Lockinterface Deluxe HighRes Retex: superseded by Elegant Lockpick Retexture.
- IHWT - Improved Heavy Weapons Textures - some texture error, conflicts with WMIM (which offers better meshes) and few if the retextures were unique.
- Mojave Nights: lower quality than the new adds.
- Project Nevada - Equipment Standalone: Replaced by Fallout 3 Weapons Restoration. It's closer to the STEP Mandate and better implemented.
- Retextured Playing Cards: dropped as it retextures only the static card deck world object.
- Teddy Bear Retexture: replaces a single texture that is covered by NMC's Texture Pack anyway.
- Tweaked Cashregister: replaces a single texture that is covered by NMC's Texture Pack anyway.
- Moved

- Fallout 3 weapons reload sounds for Anniversary Animation Pack
- All Weapon Sounds Overhaul Modern Edition - AWSOME: scripted

- Added
- Fallout 3 Weapons Restoration Rebalanced: necessary for better integration of Fallout 3 Weapons Restoration to the game.
12-Gameplay-Economy
13-Gameplay-Immersion
- Dropped / Replaced
- Gas Pumps of New Vegas: it was not entirely lore-friendly. Vehicles right before the Great War were working on atomic fuel, not gas. But then how does the Shishkebab refuel?
- Moved
- Marilyn Vanilla Restoration - Improved Cut Content - moved to 17-Locations. The NPC is stuck in the Lucky 38 and has only one line of dialogue, but is still cut content that improves the area greatly.
14-Gameplay-Quests
- Added
- BrotherhoodHouse Alliance: added back to the guide as the alternative, Brotherhood and House Truce has dependency on mods that are not on the guide.
15-Gameplay-Skills & Perks

- Added
- Lucky 38 Climate Restored (Scripted): more like a lighting overhaul of Lucky 38's top floor.
- Dropped / Replaced
- The N.V. Interiors Project A Room With A View: it adds glass windows with a neat view to the Strip, but sadly changes other objects it shouldn't have and does not carry forward various YUP and navmesh fixes. Also the Gommorah suite key is unavailable. Too much hastle to make it work.
18-Lighting & Weather
- Added
- Climate Control NVSE: essentail bugfixes on weather transition and change.
- MoonlightNVSE: fixes issues with nighttime lighting.
- Dusty Distance Redone: visible dust efect on the horizon.
