How do I install a mod?

[Grakelin]

Not sure why I did BoH instead of BoS.

How do I install a mod?

Then launch the launcher and under "DATA FILES" select the mod.

And if you don't mind installing Python on your system, I'd recommend getting the LOST program-- Load Order Sorting Tool. This will help fix some problems resulting from our current inability to manage the load order of master (.esm) and plugin (.esp) files, which is massively important in preventing conflict and instability issues. Even the official DLCs suffer the problem of loading before the main FalloutNV.esm, which is a pants-on-head silly mistake for the developers to make after so many years practice with this system in Oblivion and FO3.

Deon, I can help play test your mod, if you want, as soon as I get the game.

[Deon]

Sure. I should get a few more locations soon. Today I will start to work on Freeside Central infirmary and an utility station (I've decided to include the boiler room, the electrical substation and the sanitizer in the same building, to reduce "too many similar locations" effect and because it makes sense, it will be a pre-war local utility/backup station) with a repair shop.

Loving the Realistic Headshots/Realistic Health (Medium) mods, although they are somewhat unbalancing (headshots with a 10mm pistol can often kill most things, including fully armored Brotherhood of Steel Paladins in one-two hits) I do have to be careful as far as not leaving myself without cover. I may try a harder difficulty though, as having (humanoid) enemies with only 50 health around level 18 isn't quite as fun. What IS fun is being able to take on 90% of the game with the No Auto Aim mod: long range headshots from iron sights are a bit challenging, but always deadly.

May just try Very Hard with these mods, or maybe a tougher difficulty of the Realistic Health mod.

Yeah, the easy headshots occasionally bother me too, which is why I've been using the version which makes my head explode just as easily. But that's not really the same result, and just means I have to reload over and over until I get lucky. It's better than the standard system, but could still use some tweaks and improvements.

Also I've been eyeing that auto-aim mod but I'm still confused as to what it actually does. I haven't noticed any blatant auto-aiming system snapping me onto any targets. Since you've been playing with it, could you describe exactly what difference it makes?

I'm still waiting for a mod that allows custom zoom scopes.
I'm able to kill NPCs with head shots from my trusty sniper rifle (FPS mod) from a long way but zoom would be very nice.

There definitely is an auto-aim system. For example, if your crosshair turns red and you shoot, it hits not where you shoot but the guy (if your skill allows it).

Also if you use realistic headshots and health, you should also use realistic DT mod to avoid occasions where you headshot people in power armor with 10mm pistol.

I mostly use the no-auto-aim mod for iron sight aiming; I found that VATS overuse killed Fallout 3 for me, as being able to kill things and instantly get all your AP back due to that one perk made things too easy. I also (when I'm not using energy weapons on a different character) love scoped weapons, such as sniper rifles, the hunting revolved, and any scope mods (Varmint Rifle with a NV scope was my favorite weapon for a long time, despite its somewhat crappy accuracy).

I'm just using the version that drops your health to 1 when you get headshotted; too many enemies have a good amount of luck with spray and pray weapons.

Also, thanks for the mod, Deon... I'll definitely look into that one.

[Sir Pseudonymous]

being able to kill things and instantly get all your AP back due to that one perk made things too easy.

You mean the perk that required you be at the original maximum level? And yes, I know there were another ten levels beyond that, but almost all of the enemies leveled to that point couldn't be killed in one VATs session anyways, with anything short of a fatman. (Well, some of the weapons added by FOOK2 could, like the ion pistol and its insane critrate, but still...)

I'm in novac, got an unmarked quest to check on ranger base charlie, fast travel there, find a bunch of booby traps, corpses and a note from the legion stating they abducted somebody so I head to their nearest raid camp, which I annihilated earlier that day to rescue a few bandits, expecting to find the hostage and a new raiding party. Instead I see one guy stuck in a rock some distance away, the two guys I rescued last time which I can't interact with this time and a patrol of 4 NCR troopers who do nothing but walk around, also no interaction possible.

So where are the hostage and the legion soldiers? Bug? Dead end quest? Sequence break?

[mainiac]

I think that legion message is just a dead end.  You'll never find the hostage.

[lordnincompoop]

Is there any mod that just turns off auto aim? I find it annoying.
