READ BEFORE CONTINUING:
1.) Please do not bother any mod authors with troubleshooting questions regarding this mod list. Even if you think your question pertains to the mod itself, please ask in our Discord.
2.) You MUST follow this guide in the order given and word for word. If you do not you will experience issues. Please read through it at least once prior to install
3.) This mod pack is not a vanilla+ experience. It is a major overhaul of the game.
Pre-Installation Checklist
-
90GB of free space (You can delete the downloads folder after the install to decrease this, however it will make updates take longer)
-
A Nexus Account
-
A FRESH GLOBAL STEAM installation (Any Non Steam versions are not compatible) of Fallout New Vegas
-
Nexus Premium is a HUGE SUGGESTION
Why does it Need to be Steam Global?: This is due to Wabbajack functionality/how I have set up the way Wabbajack downloads the mod pack.
- Your Steam Library in a Non-protected directory (I do the surface of my drive)
Protected libraries are Program Files, Your Desktop, Etc.(Tutorial Here)
Starting Off…
Make sure old installations are completely deleted and reinstalled, especially if they have been previously modded
Make sure any pre-existing ini’s are deleted so they game can build them again post installation. These can be found in Documents > My Games > FalloutNV most commonly
Install Fallout New Vegas. Open once to generate ini’s. Once done close the game.
Make sure your FNV is set to the English language as other languages are not supported.
Final Sidenote
When you have finished this guide, you will have two installations of FNV. The one you downloaded through Steam and the one that was compiled by Wabbajack.
The One Compiled by Steam will be in your typical steam directory
The One Compiled by Wabbajack will be in the folder where wabbajack will deliver all of the files (Whatever path you choose in Wabbajack\Stock Game)
YOU WILL NOT BE EDITING YOUR ORIGINAL STEAM PATH. MO2 AND THIS MODPACK WILL WORK OFF OF THE STOCK GAME FOLDER. ANY PATHS YOU SET, EDITS YOU MAKE, ETC SHOULD BE DONE TO THE STOCK GAME FOLDER GRANTED THEY ARE IN THE INSTALLATION GUIDE**
