Questions about Modding

[HoPStA]

Hey all, I have never beaten a single Fallout. I installed TOTW but I would like to get the most out the experience. I have looked through the forum for similar questions, although the questions have been asked...the usual answer is, "weeellll, if you actually looked,you'd find this! go to this thread". I follow that link and it basically just explains it FO mod jargon. I've never used any FO3 or NV mods...I don't know what Project Nevada is..nothing. So, when they talk about this stuff, I don't know what it is! Could someone please give me suggestions of compatible mods with TOTW. I'm looking for graphical improvements. Maybe interior, exterior textures. better HUD, if possible. Those are really my biggest wants. If you have any others that you think would benefit my play through, I'm all ears! however, this is all a foreign language to me...Thanks in advance, I really need a super beginner's guide..lol.

I'll help you the best I can. Your comment about the modding jargon hints you may be new at modding New Vegas, bu then again you have installed TTW, so I could be wrong. I'm happy to help and I can do that best if I know what it is you know. Here's some questions to kind of gauge where you are:

0. Do you know the mechanics of modding the game already, and are just looking for a rundown of the best, most necessary mods, and how to make them play nice with TTW? If so, you can probably ignore the other questions.

1. Have you modded a Bethesda game before?

1a. If so do you know how Esp and Esms file work in a load order?

2. Are you using a mod manager?

3. Do you know how to resolve mod conflicts?

If so, you can probably ignore the other questions. I know javascript and such...however, I used FOMM and the instructions...no idea what I was doing, however

1. Have you modded a Bethesda game before?No

1a. If so do you know how Esp and Esms file work in a load order?No

2. Are you using a mod manager? FOMM, the newest one...or at least the recommended one from the instructions

3. Do you know how to resolve mod conflicts?not at all

lol. while im looking through the mods on nexus...I don't know if the name of it is referring to an area of the game...or another mod....or even a native piece. I am quick learner however...

Sorry, I typed out a whole bunch of stuff, and then got distracted making dinner. This may take a while, but the game is more than worth it at the end.

First I'll ask you this: are you devoted to FOMM, or are you willing to switch managers? Mod Organizer 2https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecial ... /mods/6194 is much better at managing multiple mods, and has a dedicated mode for Tale of Two Wastelands. If you don't want to go through the hassle, we can just continue on with FOMM. I personally know how exasperating all the different programs can get when you start modding a new game.
