Closest I've found is this mod for some game called Darkest Hour:

There used to be a Fallout mod on Civilization 3 but that went defunct years ago. So far that was the closest I found for survival as you had to clean up the lands and building took forever without the right tech. There is another Fallout mod for Civ 4 BTS here: http://www.moddb.com/mods/fallout-tame-the-wastes but thats more empire building than survival.

There actually is a Fallout mod for EU4, if my memory serves.

What might be preventing me from starting a new game? The game itself launches fine, the menu shows up, but when I click 'new game', nothing happens. I tried verifying the game cache on Steam, but it didn't help. Here's my load order, if that makes any difference:

Presumably you've already run LOOT to sort any potential load order issues, correct?

I personally can't see much wrong with it as is, though I can't run LOOT with your load order unfortunately... the things that bug me (which may potentially mean they need to be sorted) are the More Traits and More Perks being all over the place in terms of load order.

You might also be missing an esp/esm file somewhere, meaning some mod is looking for an original to build off of, or it got put in front of what it's looking for in the load order. LOOT would help with locating that, as would FNVEdit. About 4 times out of 5 any crash on startup issues are a result of needing to play hide and go seek with a missing file, in my experience.

I'm not familiar with about a quarter to half the mods in there, so I can't honestly say for certain what it is. WMX-POPMerged.esp stands out for some reason, as well.

[ShoesandHats]

Nevermind, it had to do with the 4GB loader. I fixed it.

[ShoesandHats]

I'm using the same load order, and for some reason a lot of the NPCs (around Goodsprings, at least) have weirdly high DT. I can barely scratch most of them, including the Powder Gangers you fight at the end of Ghost Town Gunfight. Is this an issue with Project Nevada, or...? Most random mooks seem normal, though, like the Powder Gangers near Jean Skydiving.

[Bohandas]

Does anyone else think that the DLCs seem weirdly tacked-on.

As in, it's not like they merely didn't try to hide the fact that they're tacked on (which would be understandable), but it's almost like they actually tried to call attention to it. Not only does everything occur in a different map, not only do the denizens and quests in one map not acknowledge the existence of the people and things on the other map (for example, you can't even broach the subject of having the King's dog repaired in Big MT even though they invented the damn thing), but in most cases you can't even travel freely between the DLC map and the vanilla game world until the DLC's main quest is completed, thus causing a feeling of disconnection between the DLC and the rest of the game. Plus, you can't take your companions along even if there's no sensible reason - in game or out - why you shouldn't be able to.

[Krevsin]

Probably because modifying the core game map to acknowledge the events of the DLC would take inordinate amounts of money and time and would basically end up forcing the studio into remaking the gameworld again.

Broken Steel tried to do something like that for FO3, but that basically amounted to a couple of new quests in the overworld, some new radio chatter and barrels of water strewn about all over the place.

[scriver]

I was about to say the same thing. I do agree that there could have been a little more acknowledgement in the DLC though. For example, I can't remember exactly how much you could talk to Crazy Beard Dude about Veronica and the state of the BoS, but I do remember that it felt somewhat unsatisfactory. Likewise, Veronica does have a few lines of dialogue concerning her father and lover, but it really feels weird how the writing suddenly demands she doesn't want to know about them, or hell, go to the Desert Smoky Place and see her ex, considering that these are basically some major elements and questions of her life and her past that you basically "solved" while she was off-screen. So I don't know which I think would have been worse, having this kind of not-enough acknowledgment, or having no effects at all.

I do like that the DLCs are all interwoven with each other through their characters as well as the OC storylines, though.

[Astral]

There are also plenty of subtle references that, if I remember correctly, were woven in to the main story and world even before the DLCs themselves came out. Not something you would pick up on a first play through, but definitely the sorts of things that make more sense once you've gone through it at least once or twice. References to New Canaan, the Sierra Madre, Big MT and The Divide pop up here and there, and you can find some interesting tidbits if you really look for them. The fact that they synergize with each other (in a manner of speaking; sometimes it feels like you're picking up the pieces, or perpetually late to the party) makes it more engaging as well, since you get to find the origin of some of the crazy stuff you get in Dead Money from Old World Blues, and track Elijah's path after the fact.

As mentioned above, the fact that they mesh with the main game world and the central conflict is pretty neat, but it's slightly disappointing that regardless of how you handle them, they have no real effect outside of giving you some experience, loot and ending sequences for each one, wrapped up tidily in its own little package. Only Lonesome Road ended up having anything that extended outside of its main play area, but the fact that you bombed the NCR or Legion (or both, or neither, but they just amount to bonus dungeons either way), or potentially got Ulysses to basically accept your way of thinking, had no effect on the main story or the ending sequence whatsoever.

[UXLZ]

Ooh that's too many. I managed to keep it under 100 by just saying fuck it & adopting PN.
Also, wrong thread mate. NV

The game will hopefully remain stable since probably about half of the mods are purely aesthetic (meshes, textures, etc.) and I'm not going overboard making everything 4K.
PN is included in the guide.

I edited the other post, relevant now. :v

[Bohandas]

Probably because modifying the core game map to acknowledge the events of the DLC would take inordinate amounts of money and time and would basically end up forcing the studio into remaking the gameworld again.

Ok. But what's the point of the contrived excuses to keep you from moving freely between the mod map and the core gameworld? That's the main thing that I was trying to point out; the part that seems to be deliberately calling attention to the fact that the DLCs are tacked on.

I honestly was shocked and slightly horrified when I found out how much of the horrible shit around the Mojave and its surrounding areas was caused by the Think Tank. Which is why I put them down like the monsters they are. There's science, and then there's terrorism. Sierra Madre was a nightmare.

As a usually evil/pragmatic courier, I let them live to do !!!SCIENCE!!! in my name. I wonder how you would have gotten the truly evil non-standard game over, though:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

In the decades following the Battle of Hoover Dam, the Big Empty remained a desolate stretch of wasteland, where few travelers dared venture.

{Curious, this is odd...}In time, however, a strange blue field began to grow, slowly spreading across the Big Empty.

Lightning-blue fields of force danced on the horizon, like electrical storms.

People whispered of "floating spheres," flickering like a rainbow of torches in the desert like Old World wisps.

{Cold, curiosity changes to doom}Then communities began to vanish.

Goodsprings was crushed beneath bizarre hexcrete blocks that stacked to the sky. The inhabitants of Primm winked out, flesh-fried into X-ray silhouettes, their arms raised in surrender.

A satellite fell on Jacobstown, beaming a kaleidoscope of bright blue equations into the deranged Nightkin minds, driving some berserk, paralyzing others.

Black Mountain Radio began broadcasting a strange staccato static as hordes of giant man-eating battle Brahmin began to swarm from its peak.

Camp Searchlight became a garden of giant carnivorous plants, and the Colorado river... "shrugged" one day, drowning several communities as its contours adjusted themselves.

The Gomorrah became home to a particularly virulent vegetation-based STD that grew like a fungus within victim's genitalia until their bodies burst open like pods.

The Legion East were systematically brain-scrubbed and rebuilt so that all the inhabitants believed they were in ancient Rome... on the moon.

...and the human cattle of NCR were re-educated into believing they existed in perpetuity in a nation-wide version of someplace called "Tranquility Lane."

In the end, no one was sure who had cracked the Dome of the Big Empty, although it was clear someone had been playing with forces they did not understand.

Throughout all this, the Think Tank was industrious, confident these experiments were all for the best, the results of the data they obtained - incredible.

They marveled that all of this had been waiting for them to come along and experiment since the war.

{Knowingly}Humanity certainly was persistent, no matter what experiments, nuclear holocaust or otherwise, it inflicted on itself.

Unfortunately it was cut. Probably because it didn't mesh with the goofy theme of the DLC as a whole.

[Rolan7]

That's amazing.  Even as a non-canon "might have been".
I loved the Big MT, and I'm looking forward to finally playing Dead Money soon.  Particularly since I've been eager to meet Elijah.

[Bohandas]

I'm looking forward to finally playing Dead Money soon.

Prepare to be disappointed.
