    I would advise anyone watching this, now or later, to stick to what Gopher is recommending here. Avoid the temptation to throw a load of mods at New Vegas and hope they stick.
    Many years back, on Gopher's first New Vegas tutorial series, I watched one episode, learned how to install mods, and thought I knew everything. The end result, some 150 plugins later, was a completely broken game that CTD'd on startup, or froze every couple of minutes. I had to manually uninstall and reinstall hundreds of mods to find the culprit, still got CTDs, and eventually had to reinstall the entire game.
    If this is your first time modding, Gopher will show you the right way to install mods, and his tutorials are super easy to follow.
    Don't be me and charge in like an idiot.

      Snake Doctor I did that as well and on my dads old laptop which he gave to me😂😂 I got mod hungry and got a lot of mods alchestbreach uses so Jerry Mcghoul Berry, death claw companion, willow and many more sadly the game couldn’t handle it all on that laptop and I couldn’t do the DLCs b/c my game would crash when I loaded into big mtn, Zion, etc but w/ those mods a lot of viruses popped up b/c I didn’t unzip a lot of the files then I got a new laptop and he wanted his old one back then he got a new one and now I have that virus laptop again b/c my laptop was for college. And now I play Sims 3. New Vegas is still on my steam library but I had to scrap the mod manager after it became outdated.

      @panzersnapdragon3087 Před 4 lety +17

      Best advice I could add to this is stick to things that very well-known, accomplished mod authors suggest. Look at recommended modlists to go along with the big ones like Tale of Two Wastelands or New California. Those mod authors tend to include a very tight list of recommended mods, just a handful, and they know the game's engine well enough that they have a good idea of what will play nicely with it and what won't.

    • @Asterra2
      @Asterra2 Před 4 lety +19

      The implication that Vortex is the default mod manager to use is a poor one, sorry to say. He knows better. Mod Organizer 2 is indispensable. I currently use over 700 mods, including some 300 ESPs merged down to around 135. I have **no** crashes, **period.** There are a few tricks to this. 1: Using New Vegas Anti Crash, as well as ENBoost or ENB. 2. Using the correct stutter remover, which Tick Fix is not. 3: Using the correct settings with New Vegas Stutter Remover-very important on Windows 10, as it means the difference between the complete stability I enjoy and guaranteed crashes every 5 to 10 minutes. 4: Checking the entire load order in Xedit and vetting, gauging and possibly sniping any incompatibilities you spot between your mods. These are a fact of life, because mod authors do not have the ability or care to ensure what they're providing works perfectly with every single other mod out there. You do this with every new mod you install, too. Again I stress: **No crashes, period.** The game closes when I'm tired of playing, and only then.

    • @atlasprime6193
      @atlasprime6193 Před 4 lety +6

      My main issue was discovering too late that there was a mod limit up to 140. That’s when I had to go through mod merging which took my days to figure it out. Afterward, I took a break, and after discovering that the Witcher 3 had a mod limit remove mod, I figured that the same could be done to Fallout NV, so I waited, bide my time, and then that day arrived. With the original mod limit “removed”, it’s been extended to 255. So far I have 160 plugins of mods (with some plugins containing 10 mods in one plugin) and is steadily going up strong with no lag, stutter, crash, input delays, long loading, etc.

    UPDATE FOR ANYONE WATCHING THIS IN 2021:
    1) "NVSE" has been updated for the first time in a long time, instead now you should be using xNVSE, you can just install it as you would NVSE and tell it it's ok to replace any files. (You'll see why in the next update)
    2) The "Unofficial patch NVSE" has been replaced with "Unofficial Patch NVSE Plus" which now requires JIP LN NVSE Plugin, JohnnyGuitarNVSE and xNVSE (This is why you now want xNVSE rather than the old NVSE).
    3) You'll notice that a lot of mods on the nexus now state that xNVSE is required, again this is why you will want that instead of NVSE (See (1)).
    For now that is all I could find regarding this part of the guide, I will either edit this as I go or just post a new comment on the next part of the guide.

      And now their engine is beginning to show its age. I'd love for them to create a brand new engine from the ground up because they could do so much more. Imagine Skyrim on a modern engine where towns can hold hundreds of people instead of the 20 we see occasionally. Or cities that are actual cities.
      And with a new writing team on board, I can see them making potentially great stories, but they need to see Fallout the way its creators did.

    A word to any newcomers who are just getting into to modding. Listen to Gopher's advice and take your time. Gopher does some of the absolute best tutorials for dummies (like me). Also, getting your game stable and less buggy is ESSENTIAL. New Vegas is an absolutely brilliant game but in vanilla version it's less stable that a psychiatric ward and has more bugs than a swamp located in the basement of a haunted house. Stability is king when it comes to this game, afterwards you can get to the good stuff.

    This is a really great and extreamly helpful series, it was really easy to follow and is what got me to finally learn how to mod New Vegas. So, I was wondering if you would ever consider making an updated version of your Fallout 3 modding guide or if you would even need to. Just a suggestion as I've been wanting to replay Fallout 3 with mods but don't really know where to start.

    Well.. I'm a veteran, and I don't know that I'm terminally curious, as such. But... FNV is what I consider one of my "comfort games." Like other games in this category, it has a familiar coziness to it, and as you have been told many times, Gopher, you have a calming voice. I'm doing about as well as anyone could be right now, but even so a calming voice and a "comfort game" is a pretty good combination, so cheers. :)

    2) The FNV 4GB Patcher requires the VC++ Runtime Redistributable x86. If you don't have it already (and most of you probably will) you can download it here : support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3179560/update-for-visual-c-2013-and-visual-c-redistributable-package

    Gopher, after having installed the version of NVSE that you use in this video, is it easy to upgrade the NVSE to the latest version xNVSE? because a lot of mods require xNVSE or newer than the one used in this video.
    I assume that if I were to upgrade NVSE to a later version, it wont be the best idea to do it halfway into a playthrough. would a new game be recommended after overwriting NVSE with xNVSE?
    would it be possible for you to make a video on how to upgrade NVSE to a later version, or if you have a video that addresses this would you be able to link it with me.
