Introduction[edit | edit source]

Tale of Two Wastelands brings FO3 into New Vegas, bringing all the feature and engine upgrades(reputations, crafting, iron sights, hardcore, survival skill) from New Vegas to the Capital Wasteland. It provides a bridge to connect the stories in a logical fashion to allow both games in a single playthrough if desired. It has some of the biggest names in Fallout modding working on it, bringing features exclusive to TTW.

I'm currently splitting the guide into two components:

Core 

Core seeks to be minimal in its approach, fixing bugs, restoring cut content, implementing quality of life upgrades, improving the physics for better gun-play, and adding gameplay features and balance. It does not seek to replace the vanilla textures or meshes, and should have the same performance requirements as vanilla.

Graphics 

Graphics builds upon Core with new textures, meshes, and effects meant to compete with the latest and greatest while remaining faithful to the original look. It is recommended to have a SSD and 4GB graphics card.

4K 

4K indicates mod that are specifically build with 4k displays in mind. These will usually be UI mods, and have minimal benefit to 1080p users. 1440 users may still be interested in these.

Steam 

This indicates a step only for users with the Steam version.

Modder 

This indicates tool installation to edit or create your own mods.

Setup[edit | edit source]

Install Fallout New Vegas somewhere NOT in your program files directory.
Launch the game once, setting everything to highest.
Install Fallout 3 somewhere NOT in your program files directory.
Launch the game once.
If you have previously installed either game, and cleaned or altered any of the Bethesda .esm, restore them through steam.

The following tweaks may be made using MO built in INI editor. Those tweaks labeled

are required as they are bug or performance fixes. All those labeled optional may be used to enhance certain graphical settings. You may alter these optional values between the vanilla maximum and the numbers I have given if you so desire.

LOD[edit | edit source]

In Bethesda games, there are 3 main types of LOD: TerrainLOD, ObjectLOD, and TreeLOD. TerrainLOD covers the actual heightmaps of a worldspace. ObjectLOD covers placed statics in a worldspace. TreeLOD consists of 2D billboards of trees and bushes placed in a worldspace. In New Vegas however, the TreeLOD system is broken. All trees should be built as 3D meshes and inserted into the ObjectLOD system. In this section, we will install premade TerrainLOD as well as the assets needed to generate ObjectLOD later in the guide.

Load Order[edit | edit source]

When multiple mods edit the same record, e.g. a gun or an NPC, whichever mod is lower in your load order gets priority. This is known as the run of one. In certain cases you'll want to patch two conflicting mods to get a combined result, e.g. PN edits the damage of a Laser Pistol while EVE edits the mesh.

Load Order can be sorted either manually or with an automatic tool such a LOOT.

Loot works by downloading a masterlist for FNV based on user submitted information on mods, and sorting them based on that information. Thanks to darthbdaman's work on updating the LOOT masterlist for TTW mods, most mods should now be properly tagged and sorted. This will get you 95% of the way there.

Basic instructions for manual sorting can be found here: TTW Load Order General Guide

Open LOOT through Mod Organizer and sort the mod list. Click [Apply] when the list of mods is presented. Close LOOT.

Patches[edit | edit source]

There are two ways to patch your game, the bashed patch and the merged patch.

Bashed patches are created using Wrye Flash and are a semiautomatic method of patching all your mods. It however requires that mods have correct Bash Tags, a practice not often followed in the Fallout community compared to the Elder Scrolls community, and thus requires a second tool to generate the Tags.

The other method is a Merged Patch, which patches formlists but otherwise requires manual patching. Manual patching will always be superior to that generated by the scripts of the Bashed Patch due to lack of community support, however it is extremely time consuming.

Create a Merged Patch[edit | edit source]

See Roy's video here: http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/videos/1033/?

Running FNVLODGen[edit | edit source]

In MO, go to the archives tab and make sure "Have MO manage archives" is Unchecked.
Launch FNVLODGen through MO. After a moment of processing a window will popup.
On the left pane, select the worldspace(s) for which you wish to generate LOD.  You can select all of them at once.
On the right side make sure Objects LOD is checked and that Tree LOD is unchecked.
Click Generate.
Once the FNVLODGen has finished it will give you the message "LOD Generator: finished (you can close this application now)." Close the program
Go to the location which you selected when setting it up (C:\FNVLODGenOutput was suggested). Archive the meshes + textures folder and install with MO. Name this mod Generated LOD.
In MO, go to the archives tab and make sure "Have MO manage archives" is Checked.

MCM Configuration[edit | edit source]

MCM is a powerful tool that allows you to customize your game once everything is installed. Details of my suggested setup can be found here.
