recommended mods?

[null]

i have a good amount of the dlc if that matters. i wanna play FNV but i always stop myself once i get to the ghoul space cultist people. my main problems with the game is that its kinda ugly compared to other old games im used to (like STALKER or the OG modern warfare games) and im not a fan of the arcade-y damage guns have

dw, the "conflict" from the patches just means that they're overwriting the files from the mod. in other words, they're working

as for Tactapack and Another Millenia, i dont really know what's causing it too tbh. i have this too in my MO2. maybe just a few textures for some weapons that happens to have the exact same name and folders?
tho so far, nothing's wrong in my game, so you don't have to worry

oh, a tip for the User Interface if you're using M.U.X Series alongside MAPMO and JAM.
-disable Quest Logs and Hardcore Needs from MAPMO by pressing N on pause menu and select HUD Menu.
-disable Just Visual Objectives from JAM by pressing M and select Just Mods -> Just Visual Objectives and unmark "Enable" from Just Visual Objectives' sub-panel.

im currently stuck rn, it says something about installing vanilla ui+ when i get into the game but vanilla ui+ literally has no simple tutorials that i saw on how to install it. like i put it in the main fnv folder and its not working

you should stick to installing your mods via your mod manager. installing them manually even though you've already using a mod manager often leads to some issues.

tho in your case, i cant really guide you because imnot familiar with Vortex. but is there like a button or option to manually install mod(s) from a file in Vortex? if so, click that, and select your Vanilla_UI_Plus_New_Vegas_948.1.rar. that should be it... if the option dont exist then sad face

did you install a lot of mods in one go on an existing save game? doing so could cause some issues, like corrupted save and stability issues.
keep track of updates from script based mods like JohnnyGuitar[www.nexusmods.com], JIP LN NVSE[www.nexusmods.com] and the likes of it. those mods are the foundations of ESP-less mods for it to be able to run.

if you're using my modlist, please tell me which one's causing the problem. i'll do my best to help you go through some issues if i could

its not on nexus, vanilla ui+ is on moddb

unless theres some way to download off-site mods with vortex mod manager i kinda forgot, i'll check it out later

Originally posted by plc_hldr:

yes, that's why i said the file's name instead of telling you to press the download with mod manager option from nexus. you have to manually add the mod into Vortex, but you need to download the file from moddb first.

tho, i found this instructions to manually add a mod to vortex[forums.nexusmods.com]. hope that helps
