There are mod packs just install one of those and get going?
My first time playing it was on Xbox, we didn’t have mods, and the game was very enjoyable. 🤷🏻♂️
Ok
I tried playing multiple times over the last week. it didn’t age well in my opinion. Same with fallout 3. 🤷♀️
I play most games vanilla.
People are a little to obsessed with mods that end up harming the game overall.
Iv only played 3 and 4. I need to try it sometime
Does it actually run well on pc now?
I find it weird to mod a game before playing it vanilla unless it’s necessary to fix issues. But I mean, you do you
FNV was always one of those games I loved and played multiple times without modifying in any way. Guess it helped I was on console back then, though.
Hard not to use some mods, for visual esthetics at least.
I have no qualms adding YASH2 to Skyrim every time because it makes Skyrim feel like how it SHOULD have been in my opinion.
Do what makes your experience better. It’s a single-player game. Want to play on God mode? Play God mode. Want hard-core? Get a hard core mod! Need updated graphics? Go find a nice texture mod.
The games are over 10 years old. In order to keep up with the times, mods are almost necessary.
How about, just modding it to look better and not blow up every touch and turn.
You get to mod it, but still enjoy a mostly vanilla game
Self control is an attractive trait
Mod it. This is the way.
I had the same dilema about fallout 4. Took me like 4 hours to mod it and solve all the crashing issues. Now im enjoying it alot. Just take your time to mod it. If you dont feel like playing after, at least the mods will be ready for whenever you get in the mood to play again
It takes like 5-10 hours to mod it (and thats if you mod it extensively) then its modded for your whole 30-100 hours playthrough… Its really not a big deal.
Tale of Two Wastelands or Viva New Vegas and then just play.
You have just described my day yesterday lol
No, I’m like this with Fallout 4 and Skyrim too. Games are meant to be enjoyed and mods can be a part of that. You’re still appreciating the art and story
People that do this crap don’t actually enjoy games and it isn’t until years later they realize it.
You can use wabbajack and let it do most of the work
just play 76, cant mod it since dedicated servers are a lie
Yeah, it’s bad. You’re going to hell for this.
I just recently followed this guide to combine both fallout 3 and new Vegas and honestly its running perfectly whereas previously I did have issues even with adding mods. https://thebestoftimes.moddinglinked.com/intro.html
A new Vegas remaster would be amazing
I actually enjoy that obligation. It gets me to dust off my tools, fire up my SDK’s, Blender and enjoy making things for the sake of expanding the worlds I love.
It’s a similar feeling I get to making a table. I like selecting various wood species, plaining them, staining, and so on. When I fire up my tools on PC I go through the same process of visualizing the end goal, creating the physical objects and world space, scripting events in papyrus, and so on. It’s all building with your hands, just in different environments.
That is why after I got it moded and working fine I’ve never touch it again, haven’t play it since don’t know how much but I refuse to uninstall it xD
I mean, I really enjoy modding -shrug-
Yes. I reinstalled Fallout 4 but don’t have the heart to download vortex and all of the mods I had before so it’s unplayed
No desire for vanilla since I did that on ps4
Go to wabbajack.org – I used the Welcome to Paradise modlist, paid the nexus for premium and let Wabbajack do all the work for me. I had over 200 mods installed on its own while I sat back in less than 30 minutes, and not a single issue with any mods, no crashing, no conflicts. Just follow the instructions to a T.
They also have endless packages for Skyrim
I’m playing it vanilla right now (currently doddering around Freeside for The Kings) and I’m happy that way. If you’re happy modding it, you should do that. It doesn’t matter. The only issue is sometimes vanilla crashes because memory leaks, but I just save a lot.
So you should, I always have a fresh set of mods for Bethesda games
I usually set a limit of 10 – 15 then start the playthru
Gotta draws the line somewhere
Modded New Vegas is vastly superior than vanilla.
Following the Viva New Vegas guide is simple and error free. The stability, performance and big fixes alone make it worth it.
You only need community patch mods, a mod to get rid of the orange tint, and a mod to fix stuttering issues with the camera.
Everything else is completely unnecessary
Theres a tool called wabbajack- it will do all the work for you
I have spent hundreds of hours playing FNV, and my husband has spent hundreds of hours modding and decorating his house in FNV
Just use a wabbajack. It does everything for you.
Wabbajack and mod packs make this whole process 100x easier
Nothing bad about that, look at Witcher 3 for example or even Cyberpunk. Witcher 3 came out when there was GTX 970? Graphics was good for the time but would look meh in today’s standards but then the next gen update made it look much better. I went back to it with my QD-OLED 4K/240Hz and it was pretty good. Cyber punk had issues even when I had a 3080 back in 2020-21. Now it looks great. So if there’s any mods you want to do to make your experience more enjoyable you should do it.
Why feel bad? Do you feel bad about adding a little extra seasoning or sauce to food cooked for you to make it more palatable to your taste? You do you.
The vanilla game was beloved for a reason, it’s good.
Mods are fine but if you want to experience it as it was just play the game.
I dunno, just play the way you want to. Of course playing vanilla “isn’t so bad”, seeing as a majority of players do that.
You practically have to mod it to run on today’s computers because of the memory leak issue
