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 [https://www.nexusmods.com/users/26289839 here.]
* You can join the discord [https://discord.gg/e9fhbHu here] for troubleshooting/help, general chat, or suggestions

== Other Guides I Suggest ==
* Fallout 4: [https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/30294 Crossing the Great Wastes by Ape75]
* Skyrim Special Edition: [http://wiki.step-project.com/User:DarkladyLexy/Lexys_LOTD_SE Lexy's: Legacy of The Dragonborn Special Edition]
* Fallout New Vegas: [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ci3sNT0wcrbjETw4sM7JqlK-zmcjoLqJFSjqhmTjk_0/edit?usp=sharing Rika's guide to FNV modding] (Less content additions, more stable)
 
{{TOC right|limit=3}}
== 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
 
 
{{TOC right|limit=3}}
== 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)
 
{{TOC right|limit=3}}
== Prerequisites ==
* Install to any folder where you can access it easy, unless instructed otherwise

:::# Download the updated version of the Generate Bash Tags.pas [[Media:MteFunctions.7z|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.

- Helps sort load order and detect which mods need cleaning.

==== [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/39218?tab=files Fallout New Vegas Redesigned 2] ====
* <span style="color:Magenta"> Special Installation Instructions:
1). Download manually
2). Open the archive
3). Create a folder called 'NVR2' on your desktop
3). From the 'data' folder in the archive, extract New Vegas Redesigned II.esm, New Vegas Redesigned - Honest Hearts.esp, NVR - Recommended, meshes, and textures to the folder you just made
4). From the 'Voice Dissonance Project,' extract Voice Dissonance fix.esp to the same folder
5). Add the folder you created to a 7-zip or WinRAR archive and install through MO2
- Overhauls most of the faces in the game. The Voice Dissonance attempts to match characters in the game to the appearance of their voice actors
* NOTE: So, the author of this mod, Dracomies, is working on an incredible mod right now. It aims to overhaul all of the faces, just like this mod, but it will also re-voice a lot of the characters whose VA don't match the character or changing the voices of some NPCs that are all voiced by the same VA. All of the voices are professionally done as well. [https://www.youtube.com/user/Dracomies/videos Here] is his youtube channel where you can see a lot of his progress. I will be adding the mod to the guide once it comes out.
 
==== Optional: [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/56312?tab=files New Vegas Redesigned 3] ====
* Files to install:
New Vegas Redesigned 3 version 3.7
Update from 3.7 to 4.3
* <span style="color:Magenta"> Special Installation Instructions:
Download [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/54460?tab=files Fallout Character Overhaul] (Old file version 2.3.1). NV3 uses FCO assests as a base
Don't select anything from the FCO installer
After installation of FCO delete any .esp/.esm files from FCO
Install NVR3 and the Update file
Make sure NVR3 overwrites FCO
I suggest disabling 'Bitter Springs Redesigned.esp, Casa Madrid Redesigned.esp, and Gomorrah Redesigned v2.esp
- Use in place of NV2 if you want to use it. A lot more 'extra' for lack of a better word. Also NSFW-ish, it adds a few nude corpses in areas that were ravaged by raiders. Also adds new NPCs in some areas to better fit the lore/location. But my favorit part is the 'goreification' of many NPCs. For example, Boxcar in Nipton who is supposed to be nearly beaten to death and had his knees bashed in now looks like that as actually happened to him
