Your new TTW series got me to try TTW for the first time in my fallout playing career. After more than likely going way overboard with mods, it hasnt gone so well😅
Be aware that installing the biggest texture packs (max and large) may lead to severe issues! It has nothing to do with your hardware (nowadays it should be possible for almost everyone who isn‘t using a potato), but with the engine‘s limitations being a 32 bit executable. Even after patching it to 4 GB, which is mandatory for TTW, you can and will reach the 3 GB limit for useable RAM at some point in the game (happened to me the first time after moving to the Mojave after 90 hours). With huge texture mods this will happen sooner. All of a sudden you get black surfaces in interiors on the floor and walls, stutters, freezes and ctd every few seconds and after fast traveling. If that happens, make sure to update your mandatory New Vegas Tic Fix and use the new large texture mod ini preset for it (it is all new now), which reduces RAM usage greatly from 2.9 GB (almost at the crash limit) to civil 1.2 GB by prohibiting copying textures from VRAM to system RAM. You could also use ENBoost (ENB binaries without graphic settings) but it is sluggish and buggy and not really recommended. Boris stopped its development years ago whereas its Skyrim counterpart gets updates on a monthly basis… NVTC solved these RAM problems immediately and I could use these large textures…. ♥️👍
I already have my TTW setup, but I love watching Gopher's videos just for the information. For example I wasn't aware of the Fo3 Megaton texture mod, which is exactly what I was missing!
the timing on this is amazing, i just installed tale of two wastelands, and i was wondering how to get rid of the awful green filter and make it look better, thank you!
I cant thank you enough gopher for these modding videos ive been wanting to make my own new vega ttw modlist for a while and just learn more about modding and these videos have been literally a blessing for me. My only question is that these lighting and texture mods youve seem to mainly curate towards the fallout 3 side of ttw but does this also affect the new vegas portion of ttw? If not are you planning on collections for the visual side of new vegas? Forgive me if a simple question im just new to this stuff lol
I think that the whole moon issue comes from the fact that the dev wanted a nice symbolic line up that indirectly ties the song, the casino and new Vegas and the starter town in one smooth take, except of the zoom outs. However Vegas is north of goodsprings, both in game and real life, that would not work for them. perhaps hoping that no one would notice it as the flipped the moon around, as they would now that people would notice trying to recreate this line up in their playthrough s. But i admit that i have Not played Unmodded fallout New Vegas in decades, so this might be ramblings from 40y old geezer
I don't play FO nor do I ever plan to, but I adore your series. I also love watching the behind-the-scenes like this one and the ones you made for Leonard on SSE
Great Vid Gopher, You make me want to replay again, Too bad I don't have the hard drive space for all my games, having to uninstall and reinstall game is common, I may still do it anyway, and replace a game with Fallout 3. It is my favorite Fallout game after all. Have you Considered an other Witcher 3 playthrough since the Next Gen update? they didn't just upgrade the graphics for all systems they made many in-game story changes and added many new items, 4 new sets of armor. I really loved your first playthrough. I'm sure you have a lot on your plate at the moment so I was just wondering. Fallout 3 is going to take awhile for sure.😁
Ah, what a shame that you don't go over other mods you have for your personal playthrough, like the Van. Well, good little install series. Always enjoy watching these and seeing where your process brings you.
Every time i think I'm too much into Fallout, Gopher be like: I'm running three mods for this rock. 🤣 Keeping the dream alive for all of us vanilla peasants!
Sorry if the answer is obvious, im still newish to modding, but will an FNV version of this video get released? I like the effects, but I am a bit confused as to how this collection alters the look of the New Vegas portion of the game as you didn't show what FNV looks like with these textures. Also, would this affect mods like the someguy series or other quest mods I may decide to add? On another note, would there be a list of other mods that fix balance issues like with Feral Ghoul Reavers and albino Radscorpions being unreasonably tanky or with the major difference in power between a capital wasteland veteran just entering the Mojave for the first time? I am aware there are mods to fix both of those issues, but others may not be and I believe it would be beneficial to have those noted just in case.
The someguy series is wildly incompatible with TTW except the few parts Roy Battarian rewrote (Mothafucka, NV Killer, NV bounties 1), but NV bounties 2 is okay too except some very minor „issues“. Absolutely incompatible are „bounties 3“ and „The better angels“. You can find links to the TTW 3.3.2 versions of the now compatible mods (NV bounties 1 LE, New Vegas Killer LE, Bad Mothafucka LE) by Roy Batty in the Wasteland Survival Guide under „content“. I would provide links, but YT isn‘t gonna let me….
Even thought my system can handle the large pack, I always use the Lite pack. Does everything I need from the texture pack, while being a small load on this ancient engine.
NMC has always had a rust obsession. Megaton wouldn't be that rusty as the people living there are constantly working on the pipes. They would've maintained them in some way, sanded and painted at least in some fashion. I love most of their textures but the rust has always kept me away, or made me use another texture pack for those things.
The set works well, with the exception for the rocks as can be seen in the comment section of the collection (post by AlexBow); have the same issue as him.
If you are using MO2 you can take those textures from Gopher's list and make your own archive (make sure the structure is right) and load it last. If there's a better way to do it with MO2, I don't know how. I wish you could pick and choose more easily like in Vortex.
For some reason my rocks don't fully load it and parts of large rocks will just be grayed out. Anyone experience this and know a fix? -- Actually seems like the whole texture pack just isn't applying. Still need a fix if anyone knows pls!
For me going to settings -> workarounds and enabling "BSA Redirection" made "Vortex Archive Invalidation" appear in my mod menu. It still didn't work when toggling on and off so what did was double click "Vortex Archive Invalidation" and go to Mod Type and select "Engine Injector". It immediately fixed it for me, hope that helps.
I'd like to see a video of how to install the new vegas heap replacer. And/or a video on how to improve the performance cause when I play, my game severely stutters whenever I'm outside but when I'm in inside cells it runs fine.
As far as I know, the latest version of Heap Replacer is a lot simpler to install. Just install with Vortex and set the mod type to be injected. I'll double check that.
@@GophersVids I'm not a true expert on installing mods other then installing them through mod organizer through nexus or installing manually in mod organizer after manually downloading it from nexus. I'd just like to make sure I do it correctly to increase my performance.
@@dr.rockso2703 I'm not sure if Mod Organiser lets you install direct to the game folder. It's been a while since I used it, but I would have thought it would have that feature now. If not, then you just extract the downloaded archive to the game folder itself, and the mod should just work automatically.
Anyone still having weird smooth grey rock issues, just disable Legacy reborn and the patch for it... seems to fix the rocks at least, who knows what surprises lay down the road though it won't give you the gopher look but it's better than nothing
Well you can't use the collection I've set up if you're not using Vortex. But you should be able to install all the mods and set things up manually if you follow the advice I give later in the video.
I've been saying this ever since I got into Vortex: use the one that you are most comfortable with. If you know and are familiar with MO2, use that. I used MO1 for Skyrim for years. But I like Vortex now. Nothing against MO2, but I used Vortex for CP2077 and Bannerlord, and I got used to it. It works perfectly fine with TTW. People will tell you that you MUST use MO2, but that's not true, and this series (and Gopher's TTW current playthrough) are evidence of that. Just do what you are most comfortable with.
If you are interested in how to conveniently install NMC texture packs from both FO3 and NV into TTW using BSA files with overrides I recommend „TTW NMC installer package“ (Nexus) which practically consists of a small TTW installer plugin. So you can use the original TTW installer to pack and install the combined textures from both games. For better instructions read KUPOkinz‘s post on the first page. Works greatly.
@@GopherLiveVids yep, had that too. Then I found out after troubleshooting, that a mod overwrote the LOD files (Alpha textures). Can‘t remember exactly, but within my data folder there were other folders called „LODsomething“. After deleting everything that wasn‘t part of my generated LOD, it was well. One of the mods, that do this kind of trick for example, is the Someguy series, especially NV bounties 1 and 2. I know they aren‘t fully compatible with TTW and have some navmesh issues but it works sufficiently well for me and I love this mod so much. But NVbounties installs a LOD folder and messes with your LOD big time, but works fine without these additional LOD files! Maybe you got such files too?
I'm having trouble with the rocks portion of the load order. I downloaded the collection, but the rocks have this mushy looking texture with patches of the highres textures. It's almost as if the textures have shrunk and the areas it doesn't get creates smooth textureless areas if this makes sense.
@@DemOnicxFEAR I've tried that myself and that hasn't fixed it. Seems that others have commented about it on the collection and have gotten no help over it.
any possibility of you doing an enb for ttw through vortex tutorial? Im glad i finally got all of this working thanks to you and im scared ill mess it up trying to install an enb so i figured id ask.
I'm not even able to install TTW because of (I think) Bethesda's "fix" of fallout 3 making my DLC not being seen in the game, and there's nothing on this online, and no fix. 🤬🤬
This shouldn't be an issue. If you correctly installed both FO3 and NV, and made sure they were both completely "clean" installs (i.e., vanilla), then this should work. Delete both games, completely--not uninstall, but delete, by hand, and then reinstall. If you are using the Steam, the "anniversary" update they did should be irrelevant, and this should still work.
You really should inform everyone that you can use Vortex but the recommended manager by the TTW devs is MO2. The community and dev support is far better for MO2 and is mod manager used in the install guide for TTW.
This video series is generally aimed at people who use Vortex. It exists to open up TTW to a much wider audience and show them that people don't have to skip TTW just because they are using Vortex. The first video is specifically showing people how to install TTW with Vortex. Now, I do link the install guide in the descriptions of all of these videos, so people are almost certainly aware of the TTW teams preference for MO2, but I am not sure why it matters in this instance. The final result is exactly the same, and the process is going to be much easier if people use the mod manager that they are comfortable with.
The only reason the devs recommend MO2 is because that is what they are most comfortable with. And that's fine. But if someone is more comfortable with Vortex, there is no reason they can't use Vortex. It works just fine.
@@CrimsonCavalierGaming According to various forums threads it's more than that. The official Mod guide for TTW, Wasteland Survival Guide has Vortex listed as tools to avoid in the appendix with a few of the reasons why. I personally don't care what a person uses. The issue is if someone has a problem. Most of the responses are "use MO2" which is very unhelpful but is a fact for the Bethesda modding community that prefer MO2.
It's more likely to be your monitor than your eyes. I have a laptop where it's all too dark on my own videos even though I've calibrated the monitor. And it's a good screen too. I think it's something to do with the color range. I know there are ways to fix it and force UA-cam to play at a different color range. I made a video about it a few years ago. Still kind of annoying.
I love these modding tutorials so much.
This is, after all, what brought most of us to be minions in the first place.
Your new TTW series got me to try TTW for the first time in my fallout playing career.
After more than likely going way overboard with mods, it hasnt gone so well😅
"Luckily, there is a mod that..." - the first commandment of the holy gospel of playing Bethesda games :)
I wish I could like this more than once lmao
Literally tho, whatever it was I want added to my game theres a mod for it. It's esp nice if the mods play nice with each other

Thank you, Gopher, for what has to be more than 15 years of modding, let's plays, gaming commentary, and just general cinnamon-roll-ness.
