IMPORTANT NOTE II: The last section will contain the correct installation order

Some mods (like NVSE and the 4GB patch) are designed to work with the steam version of the game, so there is no way around that. IMPORTANT NOTE: This guide requires you to have the steam version of Fallout New Vegas (duh!) installed with all the DLC’s: Gun Runner’s Arsenal, Courier’s Stash, Lonesome Road, Old World Blues, Honest Hearts, Dead Money and the latest patch (it’s automatically patched if you use the steam version). In this article I will give you my latest assembly of mods, ranging from mods that add content and mechanics, to mods for new animations, unofficial patches and so on.įallout New Vegas isn’t that easy to mod (especially compared with Skyrim), so let’s start with the necessary mods: The Nexus section for Fallout New Vegas contains around 16.000 mods, with new being added every day. Thankfully, like all games published by Bethesda, it means that the game has an enormous modding community. Much like earlier Obsidian game Knights of the Old Republic 2, what we got in Fallout: New Vegas was only part of what was planned, or even implemented only to be dummied out.

when you do get an update, you WILL need to clean the 'new' masters again, and remember to save the new cleaned masters in your cleaned masters' folder as well. No need for a fresh download, or to clean the masters again. Select over write the existing files when the confirmation window pops up. Just copy the cleaned master files, and paste them into the data folder. When the time comes that you feel the need to re-validate your game files. It's going to happen, the game will glitch on you at some point as you work with more and more mods. I mentioned best practices a few times, let me offer one of mine.Ĭreate another folder in the game folder called 'cleaned masters' now open the data folder, copy all 6 of the game master files you just cleaned, and paste them into the cleaned masters folder you just created. This procedure will not make your graphics better, or the game run faster, but it will help to keep it stable as you add more mods. Rest easy in the knowledge that you can now safely add mods to your game until it explodes.
