WIP: Viva New Vegas - A Fallout New Vegas Modding Guide[edit | edit source]

378.png "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. Special thanks to TDarkShadow for helping me make this along the way.

CHANGELOG[edit | edit source]

  • 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

Template:TOC right

Other Guides I Suggest[edit | edit source]

Template:TOC right

Pre-installation Checklist[edit | edit source]

  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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)
  4. If I don't give any special install instructions, just install the main file


Template:TOC right

My System Specs[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

  • Install to any folder where you can access it easy, unless instructed otherwise
Mod Organizer 2[edit | edit source]
  • 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[edit | edit source]
  • Special Install Instrucions:
  1. Download Generate Bash Tags.pas and the scripts from TES5EditScripts.
  2. Navigate to the scripts in windows explorer and move the scripts to the "...FNVEdit\Edit Scripts" folder.
  3. 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 Flash NV[edit | edit source]
  • Special Install Instrucions
Download the standalone executible file and extract the 'Data' and '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

LOOT[edit | edit source]

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

Merge Plugins[edit | edit source]

- Merges plugins to reduce load order. We'll go into detailed install instructions towards the end of the guide.

  13. Click the 'Configure Settings' button on the top bar that looks like a screwdriver and wrench.
  14. If you are using an SSD, click the 'Paths' tab, and set the 'Downlaods' directory to a location outside of the SSD
  15. 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'
  16. Click Ok
  17. Click on the 'modify executables' button on the tool bar that looks like two gears
  18. In the 'Title' box, type 'LOOT'

  1. Click Build Patch and wait for it to finish. Wrye Flash should take care of everything from here and ask to activate itself if that is needed.
  2. After building the Bashed Patch you will notice that all plugins merged into the patch appear green. Those have been merged into the Bashed Patch and deactivated. In addition to those, there are a couple mods that appear purple. These have not been merged into the Bashed Patch due to being flagged NoMerge, but have been deactivated during the process and must be manually re-enabled in order to work as intended. Click the checkbox to the left of these mods (make sure there is a check in the box next to each, rather than a dot) in order to reactivate them.

My Settings[edit | edit source]

Qolore7's Settings[edit | edit source]

  • If theres no picture for a certain portion it means I didn't edit anything or its all person preference (like controls). Also any hotkeys are obviously up to you (Except the KeyBoy settings are needed to prevent you accidently hitting 'Take all' when trying to put stuff in a container)

Conclusion[edit | edit source]

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.
