The Fallout New Vegas Mod Experience
From Cold and Mountainous to Dry and Arid
Prologue
Thanks and Credits
A big credit to EssArrBee's Fear and Loathing in New Vegas
- Seriously, most of this guide is cribbed from that page, and it's thanks to the wonderful, frequently updated guide that I'm up and running with a modded game so quickly.
- In fact don't bother with this guide, start with EssArrBee's Fear and Loathing in New Vegas and build from there.
- This guide is more notes on what I did differently and what changes I've made from the suggested guide.
With additional thanks to NexusMods for hosting the mods, Gopher, Brodual and MMOxReview's videos.
This list will grow and have it's own's section as some point.
For $12, I couldn't pass up on the complete Fallout New Vegas pack during the Steam Summer Sale.
Applying the same methodology that STEP uses (maybe STEP's an evolution of the NV methodology, I don't really know), I'm going to try and run it modded as well.
My goal here is similar to that of my goal when modding Skyrim. I want to create something that I find enjoyable to play, close to vanilla, lore-friendly, with some game-play tweaks to extend the survival/crafting elements of the game and make combat a challenge (and not a repetitive bore). I'd also like to expand on the world with new quest content, more NPCs and a more 'lived in' game environment.
