Ive used AlexScorpions PDA in FO3 and loved it,then I lost it and upgraded to the Readius(That Ive used forever) and now Im trying out the Pipboy 5000 with Black Blossoms Retex, Readius Pros Pretty customizable with skins and mesh redos. New pipboy replacer - posted in New Vegas Mod Requests: I'd like to have a mod that removes the pipboy and replaces it in a new way. I really like the Pipboy Readious and even tried the invisible pipboy, but I want something new. An implant, that's right, an eye implant. Don't change the outside of the player's head, but a recolor of the (right) eye would look cool.

Fallout New Vegas Walkthrough

March 13th, 2017. General guide maintenance is underway, mods will be updated to current versions and install instructions will be updated as well. Removed No more giant manhole covers. Now included in YUP.

Added. Contents.We were somewhere around Barstow.on the edge of the desert, when the mods began to take hold. Fallout New Vegas has been out for a number of years now and there is a truly amazing community that has supported the game with really creative mods since the game's release.

This guide will help make New Vegas look as good as possible while maintaining a setup that adds to gameplay and re-playability. With that in mind, New Vegas is old enough that only the Ultimate Edition will be supported, so all DLC will be required. Users with all the major DLC and not the pre-order packs can still use the guide, but without a couple mods or patches. STEP officially supports the use of Mod Organizer and everyone who uses it for a long enough period will see why.

This guide will use Mod Organizer as its main mod manager, but Wrye Flash NV will be used to generate a Bashed Patch.Users already familiar with and will notice that this takes queues from the styles of both guides. Also, due to the somewhat campy humor of the Fallout series, this guide will not take itself too serious, and will have a Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas theme. STEP changed the way so many people mod video games and really gave birth to new type of mod community that was very strict in its pursuit for a better experience of Skyrim. It only makes sense to extend some of STEP and Skyrim Revisited's ideals to other great games and that is the very thing this guide will set out to do.While going through the guide remember that there is a forum to post any questions that might arise. This guide also has an official thread.

This guide will probably never be the size and scope of the STEP guide, but the current mods listed should work together without compatibility issues.The guide is listed from top down and it is advised to install the mods in that order to make sure that all directions are followed correctly and no mods are missed. Keep in mind, there are very specific directions to install the interface mods and those directions are very important to make sure there are no problems when starting New Vegas.Without the support of STEP, this guide would not be possible.

GamerPoets' FNV install video.A Word About Gamebryo and Plugin LimitsThe game engine for Fallout New Vegas has quite a few issues, but instead of working to solve those problems, a limit on the number of plugins was instituted during one of the patches. There is now an 140 plugin limit for Gamebryo which will cause the function incorrectly or just not load at all if this number is reached. In addition to that, the stability of New Vegas will decrease as the number of plugins start to approach the 140 count. This means this guide will never grow out of control and the goal will always be to have, at most, 135 plugins.

This, of course, is just a number to aim for so it keeps the guide in a state that promotes a stable New Vegas. If adding mods on top of the guide, be aware of the plugin cap and learn to use the FNVEdit merge script to lower the count. This is also the reason that Wrye Flash NV is so essential, since the Bashed Patch will lower plugin count.Video TutorialsThere are a few video tutorial series for Mod Organizer and Fallout New Vegas. All of them are recommended for users that prefer watching videos. by Gamer Poets.
