it's impossible for me to mod Fallout new Vegas

[MADICK!!!]

hello a while ago I wanted to play Fallout new vegas again and I also wanted to mod it with Nexus mod but it is impossible because every mod needs another mod and for a mod that i needet for another mod I should download almost a HUNDRED more mods and when I did it without them the download failed and then i wonder how it'spossible to mod the game and if i'm doing it wrong

You're doing it wrong.

Yes, some mods have a few layers of dependencies. But not every mod does and it's not impossible to sort out, but can be complex if you want to use a lot of mods or a lot of complex mods. Also you might want to try the New Vegas forums as they're probably a better audience for this question. There's also a multitude of guides and information out there, as the Fallout and Elder Scrolls games have been very mod friendly and moddable for nearly twenty years.

Ok thank you

The issue is not about mods needing other mods to work but mods that needs certain paid DLC's, if you don't have that DLC the mod requires, you are either out of luck and can't use that mod or facing major issues such as game crashing, missing models, missing textures etc.

I don't think anyone needs to get Skyrim to learn how to use mods... I've modded all those games and they're all very similar to mod, especially if you use the Nexus Mod Manager.

New Vegas is old enough that it predates the paid mod nonsense, and the game is old enough that it's not really being updated, and most mods that worked still do, even if the modder has moved on.

one more question...there is no download button in nexus to download the script extender nvse not even manuel

Sounds as though you're a bit overwhelmed by the modding process. I would suggest you follow this guide. It's great for beginners. You'll likely need to gut your installation and start everything from scratch though to ensure you mitigate any problems that might arise.

yeah , and what about all the mod that screw all up , this was before LooT , so stop lie then you forget how things was back then. we are many that know how bad it get and it dont help then even nexus screw up own database and mix morrwind mod up with oblivion. and you can still find mods in wrong section.


even mods you had to unpack and put at right place, so NNM did make it better, i even mod game before they got client.

Disagreeing with you is not lying. I just don't think telling someone to get and mod Skyrim so they can "learn" how to mod Fallout New Vegas is realistic or quality advice. You, OP, and anyone else is free to disagree, but my opinion there won't change.

None of that validates your statement that one should buy and mod Skyrim to learn how to mod other Bethesda games. Especially with all the resources out there concerning modding those games. Maybe you do, but you're in a minority methinks.

most already have skyrim, thats the point, even fallout4 and skyrim, those 2 games build on all other mistakes from past games , and you dont want to see that point.

and you seem to forget op dont understand pinned down section in FNV, so he was lost, and yet you still clain no problem, i bet there is many new users that has alot to learn about mod.
and you also forget alot of NMM issue, again , you think all so easy, NMM has also make many mistakes. and ohh boy even MS also things alot of old issue now game startup and work again, alot of outdate guides dont make it better.

Modding Skyrim has nothing to do with modding a game they WANT to play.

Stop trying to assert they should pick up an entirely unrelated game - one which requires even more work to get running than NV by the way, particularly with mods attached.

OP: reinstall the game entirely, start from no mods and find only the ones that have good reviews and are known to work. Start small, don't add dozens all at once.




You might wind up like me, with over 100 FO4 settlement mods alone... >_>

Well those are some pretty bad assumptions.

Regardless of how imperfect everything is I'm just not seeing a convincing argument where getting Skyrim and modding it solves the OP's issue. You seem to think it's a great idea and a great way to "learn", but so would just working the problem with FNV. And I've mentioned that there's plenty of well documented resources to help in that regard. I think most people can handle that.

But I don't really need to argue about this any further. My opinion remains unchanged.
