#NEW VEGAS NEXUS MOD MANAGER INSTALL#

You'll also need to fire up New Vegas through Steam or GOG the regular way once for xNVSE's loader to work.

I recommend making a shortcut of this file and putting it on your desktop. NOTE: For xNVSE to take effect, you'll need to launch New Vegas with the nvse_loader.exe file that comes with this mod. The download page has installation instructions. This mod extends the scripting capabilities of the vanilla game, which is necessary for making many popular mods work. Next up, you'll want the newest version of the New Vegas Script Extender, or xNVSE.

If desired, you can override LOOT's optimization to make manual tweaks to your load order yourself (this shouldn't be necessary for the mods in this list). This program automatically reorganizes your load order to make it as stable as possible. A great tool to pair with your mod manager is the Load Order Optimization Tool, or LOOT.

This will allow New Vegas to read and accept any texture mods you install (we'll get to those later). Back when Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas were released, both games were regarded as having dated animations by modern standards. Then go to Settings > Workarounds > BSA Redirection and toggle it. you to pick only best to use the Fallout Mod Manager. After installing it, log in, and select New Vegas as the game you're modding. I looked in to FOMM, but read somewhere that if you've installed mods with NMM, then FOMM. I checked the old Archiveinvalidation mod thing, but it says it doesn't work anymore. Wabbajack can reproduce an entire modding setup on another machine without bundling any assets or re-distributing any mods. I don't see anywhere in NMM that does the invalidation.

I highly recommend Vortex since it has a great UI and is very easy to use. I recently installed Redesigned 2 and notice skin colors not matching up with the bodies. These tools automatically handle most mods' installation, so you don't have to dig around in-game files - simply drag-and-drop compressed mod files, and the mod manager will do the rest. The first thing you need is a Nexus Mods account, the website where most mods are posted.
