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. [http://wiki.step-project.com/User:EssArrBee/FalloutNewVegas 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. Special thanks to TDarkShadow for helping me make this along the way.
 
==== [http://wiki.step-project.com/User:Qolore7/Viva_New_Vegas_Changelog CHANGELOG] ====
 
* Any questions/problems with the guide can be directed to my Nexus page [https://www.nexusmods.com/users/26289839 here.]

{{TOC right|limit=3}}
== Other Guides I Suggest ==
* Fallout 4: [https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/30294 Crossing the Great Wastes by Ape75]
* Fallout 4: [https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/23556 BiRaitBec Modlist]
* 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' (Omit if you have the GOG version)
:# If I don't give any special install instructions, just install the main file
 
 
{{TOC right|limit=3}}
== 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)
 
{{TOC right|limit=3}}
== Prerequisites ==
* Install to any folder where you can access it easy, unless instructed otherwise

== Conclusion ==
So, thats it then. Thanks for sticking around for the entire thing. Remeber to report any bugs and issues to preferably the Discord but you can also PM me. Hopefully people still use this in about a month because I know I'm doing nothing but playing Fallout 76 for about 3 months when it comes out.
