NVSE

Special Install Instructions:

Extract the 4 .dll files, the .exe, and the Data folder from NVSE to the New Vegas main directory
Right click on your desktop and create a new folder called NVSE
In that folder, create a new text document called nvse_config.ini (Make sure you have application extensions visable and replace the .txt with .ini)
Copy and paste the following into the .ini:

[Memory]
DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=400

Save the .ini and exit
Right click on the NVSE folder and add it to a 7zip or WinRAR archive
Title the archive NVSE_Config
Select the

button on the top bar of MO2
Double-click the archive you just created and install it

– NVSE extends the scripting capabilities of the game and is essential for most mods

JIP LN NVSE Plugin

Install normally

Special Activation Instructions:

Double click on JIP LN in the left-pane of MO
Click on nvse/plugins/jip_nvse.ini
Set bEnableFO3Repair to 1 at the bottom of the .ini

– Adds new functions to NVSE

FNV 4GB Patcher

Special Installation Instructions:

Extract the .exe from the archive to the main directory
Run the .exe as an adminstrator and click enter
Exit once the patcher has finished
You'll know if it worked if FalloutNV_backup.exe is created in your directory
After installing this, run the game through the New Vegas option in Mod Organizer instead of the NVSE option

– Lets FNV use 4gb of ram instead of 2 and auto-detects and runs NVSE when you launch the game through the default executable

NOTE: This patch is still needed with the GOG version for the NVSE auto-detection. Also, the patch will need to re-run if you validate your game files
