Viva New Vegas

A Comprehensive 2020 Fallout New Vegas Modding Guide


Content Mods to Avoid


You may be wondering why some mods aren't in the guide, or are looking to add your own mods. If so, please reference this list:

WMX/WME: Incompatible with WMIM, and even if they did work they still need a lot of balance work

More Perks: Countless broken perks, bugs, spelling/grammar errors, and more

CAGE - Continue After Games Ending: Old and broken, replaced by FPGE

NV Interiors: Causes save bloat due to the large amount of havok-enabled items per interior

Classic Fallout Weapons: Has many broken weapon meshes and breaks some leveled lists

Primm Reputation Restored: Does not function properly, also impossible to get idolized because of oversights

Simply Uncut: Most of the stuff isn't cut content, but rather fan-made versions of concept art. Also lacks quality in many places

New Vegas Landscape Overhaul Remastered: Will cause crashes due to broken navmeshes

Outside Bets: Has some poor implementation of features that will result in bugs, also requires a good bit of conflict resolution. Useable if you can put up with that

A World of Pain: Awful balance for the entire mod, un-lore friendly locations, no voice acted NPCs, no room bounds/portals in interiors which can cause FPS loss. Also useable if that doesn't bother you

Monster Mod: Bad meshes for many creatures which can cause crashing, terrible balance
