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. This is a rather advanced guide, so I wouldn't suggest you use this if it is your first time modding a Bethesda game, unless you want to look up tutorial videos for some of the stuff I don't give detailed instructions for. My user page acts as a directory for the guide where you can get to any link from the guide. Special thanks to TDarkShadow and others in the Discord for helping me make this along the way.

CHANGELOG

Future Considerations

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
Fallout 4: BiRaitBec Modlist
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)

Template:TOC right

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' (Omit if you have the GOG version)
If I don't give any special install instructions, just install the main file

Template:TOC right

My System 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)

Template:TOC right

Prerequisites

Install to any folder where you can access it easy, unless instructed otherwise

Mod Organizer 2

Special Install Instrucions:

Install it to your New Vegas main directory. Join the team's discord here for ~weekly dev builds

- 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.

FNVEdit

Special Install Instrucions:

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.
Download the updated version of the mteFunctions.pas here, then extract mteFunctions.pas to the "...FNVEdit\Edit Scripts" folder and overwrite the existing script.

- Will be used to create merged patches, clean plugins, and add bash tags to mods later in the guide.

Wrye Bash

Special Install Instrucions

Download the standalone executible file and extract the 'Mopy' folder to the New Vegas main directory.

- Will be used to create a bashed patch at the end of the guide to help with conflict resolution

Mator Smash

- Generates conflict resolution patches, similar to Wrye Bash's Bashed Patch. Smash is capable of handling conflicts in all record types.

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 'Local Game Settings' is 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, Wrye Flash, and Mator Smash
