How the heck does someone prevent the NCR civil war? I can not for the life of me find any info on the subject and I wish to prevent it in future games. Thanks for any info!!

NCR? New California Republic? Are you playing the Fallout Mod?

it gives you 2 options at leats for me
1 puts you a leader depending of waht focus you do and the other give you the Civil war

I’ve only ever gotten “is this the end of the republic?” Option and then proceed to watch my divisions vanish and my land striped away.

You essentially "support" candidates via your focus tree. If you pick mutually exclusive focuses and have each focus aimed at a different party, it will cause the civil war because there's no clear successor to the current president, so everybody thinks they're the rightful president to lead. Example, if you pick focuses aimed at Sean "all-good" Murphy by majority and the event fires, a box appears and you can select him to take charge and avert the civil war. Same applies to the Barons Anton Flynn and Dayglows Grant.C.Hayes.
For reference, Sean Allgood Murphy is tied to the Brotherhood resolution to the Barons War and the middle Focus path in the Baja focus line.
quick edit: Some people don't have focuses in certain events, so watch for that.

If you want to pick whatever you want and avert the civil war, get "Hero of the Mojave", this causes an option to appear and allow you to place Aaron Kimball in control of the NCR if you didn't choose enough focuses partaking to a certain individual and their party. IIRC the focuses are things like the Baja, your army marshal (Petersons War), and the Barons war.

Remember: Elites are Barons, Ruler is Sean Allgood Murphy, intellectuals are Grant.C.Hayes and I believe people is Kimball. Just read the focuses and it should mention who your about to support. I often get barons because of big jims manpower boost, so I'm not sure about how the game handles Kimball if you went with barons or such. Don't worry about your ideology either, it will stay people, no matter who becomes president.

Awesome! Thanks a lot for the feed back. Hopefully I can avert this next time :)
