List of compatible realism mods for the most stable immersive experience

[bill]

Lol I accidentaly deleted the whole post. This is THE thread dedicated to archiving the most realistic, immersive, and compatible modlist. Mods of interest includes mods that are cool but: too big / not compatible / buggy / not necessary. Those with the knowledge can work on mods or make (merged) patches and put them here or in frootzcat's thread https://taleoftwowastelands.com/content/directory-ttw-converted-mods

*FPSWeaponWheel mod seems to be glitching out

[collapsed title=Effects and Retextures]

no esp, esm, or bsa files these mods just make changes to NVSE/plugins and the textures and meshes folders

• 
  Enhanced first person camera mod


• 
  No bullet tracers mod


• 
  retextures for all cigarette packs and cartons to be retro Lucky Strikes, beers to Budweisers, and Nuka Cola products to Coca Cola brand for more immersion.

*Some playthroughs the retextures work and sometimes they don't. Anyone know why? I have tried the archiveinvalidate tweak that I know of, such as adding the line Falout - archiveinvalidation.bsa, to the archivelist in both ini files (common/newvegas and my games/newvegas) and the preference file (my games/newvegas)

[collapsed title=mods of interest]

• 
  the strip & freeside open - extra / not necessary


• 
  ultimate scavenger or mods similar to it


• 
  sprint mod - only gets activated upon leaving Doc Mitchels house, not TTW compatible


• 
  portable campsite / portable campstuffs for TTW / or similar mods


• 
  project nevada - buggy, too big


• 
  YUP - buggy, too big


• 
  Arwens - buggy, too big /not compatible


• 
  prone mode - when you are killed or knocked down while prone, shit bugs out


• 
  immersive weapons and armors - too big


• 
  caesars new regime - too big


• 
  NCR rearmament - too big


• 
  melee & grenade hotkey - buggy (I decided to use FPS weapon wheel instead and use normal hotkeys or use the pipboy)


• 
  TTW interiors - too big


• 
  busworld - too big, can be buggy


• 
  urban combat overhaul - too big


• 
  mojave rooftops - too big


• 
  immersive VATS - glitches (able to start fighting in tutorial. at random times, especially in combat, the mod may stop working, etc.)


• 
  advanced recon thermal nightvision - kinda big, not necessary


• 
  imps more complex needs - too big, not necessary / annoying. my player characters non-existent mood should not affect my gameplay, and etc.


• 
  powered power armor - big mod, not necessary. imps and ppa (for me at least) are hard to get to work


• 
  CHEMistry mod - never worked for me


• 
  CAM chems alcohol meds - seems realistic but big mod, likely incompatible


• 
  animated food drink / animated chems - incompatible with other mods like enhanced first person camera, or mods that alter food / drink / chems


• 
  j3xified driveable motorcycle - cool with no fast travel but buggy


• 
  jetpack mod - seems cool with no fast travel but buggy


• 
  destruction mod - makes any ammo that is destructible have no weight. also the ammo blowing up everywhere gets a tad old


• 
  active wasteland - fun mod but not necessary, so I removed it to have a smaller load order


• 
  realistic binoculars - haven't gotten around to this


• 
  a realistic skill points mod that isn't buggy

I would love to see people do video playthroughs with mod setups like this.

Please let me know if you know of an awesome mod that I'm missing! How can I make this load order more efficient / better? Thanks guys and gals.

[Risewild]

I can't really help with mod suggestions but I am just coming here to give a couple suggestions:

1. 
   I advise anyone that wants a realistic experience playing TTW to do this:
   
   
   
   • 
     When your character dies restart the game, there is no more realistic than be dead stay dead .
   
   
   
   


2. 
   Also make that Load Order shorter, or I can predict you will start having problems with your game sooner or later .

[TJ]

Chemistry will work with just about anything, though I do edit recipe lists. If you're using the recipe overhaul uploaded here whichever one is last in your load order will affect the recipes (I didn't actually look at your LO).

[gluttoncreeper]

I suggest you merge your esp mod patches and small similar mods into group patches using FNVPlugin (if you don't already have this). This will reduce your load order by 40 give or take based on your load report. I use this all of the time, and it helps keep my game stable. The less to load the better performance.   

[RoyBatty]

It's always a good idea to learn how to use FNVEdit and merge this stuff yourself. It's not very hard to do.

Bear in mind that FNVPlugin is buggy and can break things.

I have not encountered any bugginess with FNVPlugin myself, but I am sure it does happen. I mainly use it to merge small Mod likes Freeside Open patch support for the 10 Mods that I use that have FSO compatibility patches. Things like this will not bug out, just pay attention to what esp the patches call for if any, and don't merge those. A good example of this is NVBounties FSO patch requires the FreesideOpenPatch.esp, while the other 9 file only require the esm; so don't include this in the merge.

Things that are not compatible FNVPlugin will let you know. This is just my experience with the program.

 

[RoyBatty]

Probably better to just use Mator's script in FNVEdit for it, it's actively developed and does a good job on such things without bugs.

And there you have it, a lot of patches require esp's as masters, and it breaks (sometimes) with those because it doesn't handle indexes properly. That is why I suggest not to use it, it also doesn't sort masters correctly and can create seriously broken plugins.

[Darkersun]

I found this nice rebalance/immersive mod with build in TTW support:

[bill]

You know whats funny? In order to successfully get Marts Mutant mod for TTW, I had to follow a tutorial and do just that (make merged esps)

But since then I forgot how to do it, I'll visit the thread and view the tutorial again

[TJ]

For what it's worth Slippy is a solid modder. I don't say that about very many modders, especially not those not already on the TTW team.
