==== As of 10/01/18, the guide is being moved to HackMD [https://hackmd.io/s/Hka6UZxqm here.] STEP GUIDE SHOULD STILL BE USED UNTIL THE NEW ONE IS READY. STEP is shutting down the Wiki in a few months so the guide can no longer be hosted here. So, this version of the guide will no longer be updated. ====
==== Guide has officially moved to HackMD [https://hackmd.io/s/Hka6UZxqm here.] ====
 
</center>
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. 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.

== 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]
* Fallout 4: [https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/30329 Way to the Lost]
* 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)
 
{{TOC right|limit=3}}
== My System Specs ==
* i5 7500
* 8GB 2400 DDR4
* Rx 470 4GB
* 250GB Samsung EVO SSD (Where my FNV is installed)
* 1TB Toshiba HDD (Where I have my MO2 downloads directory)
* 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)
 
== Mod Installation Advice ==
* <span style="color:Gold">Main Files</span> + <span style="color:Gold">Updates</span> + <span style="color:Gold">Hotfixes</span> - Install as one mod. (e.g Merge together in Mod Organizer 2)
* <span style="color:Gold">Optional Files</span> - Install as separate mod in MO2.
* <span style="color:Gold">Miscellaneous files</span> - Install as separate mod in MO2.
* <span style="color:Gold">Patches</span> - Install as separate mod in MO2.
 
== A Note About the Plugin Limit ==
So, as I mentioned in the opening paragraph, the Gamebryo engine isn't exactly a very polished thing. Unlike Skyrim and Fallout 4 what have a 255 plugin count, New Vegas and 3 have a hard-cap of 140. However, the game can experience stability decreases from 120 onward. For that reason, the guide will stay under 120 plugins always. If you are adding your own mods try to get familiar with Merge Plugins so you can try to stay below 120 also.
 
{{TOC right|limit=3}}
== Prerequisites ==
* Install to any folder where you can access it easy, unless instructed otherwise
===== [https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/6194/?tab=files Mod Organizer 2] =====
Install to a folder outside of the FNV directory
Join the team's discord [https://discord.gg/RWw6M7 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 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TP7I3TGG580 here.]
 
===== [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/34703?tab=files FNVEdit] =====
* <span style="color:Magenta"> Special Install Instrucions:
Download [https://mega.nz/#!0QRVAQKa!6dDsprHGy9iuI85k0QYzNtGzH4vZO4uh_tc7L_671ME Generate Bash Tags.pas] and the scripts from [https://github.com/matortheeternal/TES5EditScripts 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 [[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.
 
===== [https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/64580 Wrye Bash] ===== 
* <span style="color:Magenta"> Special Install Instructions:
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
 
===== [https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1918/?tab=files LOOT] =====
- Helps sort load order and detect which mods need cleaning.
 
===== [https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/69905 Merge Plugins] =====
- Merges plugins to reduce load order. We'll go into detailed install instructions towards the end of the guide.

== Utilities ==
* IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Read the descriptions, pinned comments, and readmes of mods before commenting in the Discord about a mod-specific issue to see if one of them has the solution. It's also a good idea to read them to see if you will like the mod, as mindlessly installing every mod on here might not be the best result for your personal tastes
 
If I don't give any special install instructions for a mod, just install the main file
 
If I say 'Don't install the following', just uncheck the box next to it during the installation in MO2
 
==== Disabling the Pre-Order Packs ====
* Disable the following in the right pane of MO2:
Classic Pack.esm
Mercenary Pack.esm
Tribal Pack.esm
Caravan Pack.esm
- The pre-order packs do not need to be activated because JSawyer Ultimate Editon, which will be installed later, injects them into the game without the need of the .esms since the resources needed are all in FalloutNV.esm
 
==== [http://nvse.silverlock.org/ NVSE] ====
* <span style="color:Magenta"> Special Install Instrucions:
:# Extract the 4 .dll files and the .exe to the New Vegas main directory
:# Open MO2, click the screwdriver and wrench button directly to the right of the profile drop down menu, click 'install mod,' navigate to where NVSE downloaded, double click the .7z file, and right click on 'Data' and click 'Set data directory'
:# Right click on your desktop and create a new folder called 'NVSE.' In that folder, create a new text document called 'nvse_config.ini' (Make sure you have application extensions visable and replace the .txt  with .ini) In that .ini, add:
[Memory]
DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=420
:# Save the .ini and exit
:# Right click on the 'NVSE' folder, add it to a 7zip or WinRAR archive and install it through MO2
- NVSE extends the scripting capabilities of NV and is essential for most mods
