Fallout New Vegas Texture Packs
Share.Return to the Wasteland.ByWhen it released back in the fall of 2010, was a fantastically detailed and incredibly fun RPG, and - spoiler alert! - it still is! And just like with and, the has made the PC version of Fallout 3.5 look better than ever. Here are just a few of our that will make your copy of New Vegas more vibrant and immersive than ever before.A Prettier ApocalypseOne of the first steps to overhauling any game, be it New Vegas, Fallout 3 or Skyrim, is to update the textures for as many objects in the environment as possible. To that end, we installed a combination of and the. The largest version NMC's pack updates many in-game textures with 2K variants, and Ojo Bueno's mod ups the ante to 4K, and both packs do a great job of revitalizing much of the in-game world.
If you're wary about framerate issues or overloading on too many textures, both mods have lower-resolution versions available. To upgrade the weapons, armor and miscellaneous clutter found throughout the wasteland, we installed Millenia's, by Tau34RUS, Macintroll's, and the mod by Mental Gear.To enhance our interactions with the various NPCs throughout New Vegas, we installed Drumber's excellent mod, the. These files reshape and retexture almost every NPC you'll encounter, from Sunny Smiles and Easy Pete to each Poweder Ganger and Fiend. It also includes a 'Playable Races' option which can be activated if, instead of a boring 'normal' person you want to experience life in New Vegas as a Ghoul or mutated human. Another great option for revamping the in-game characters is, which gives the NPC character models a softer, more realistic quality. For our non-human (or formerly human) friends, we also installed and (both from Macintroll) and the by Tau34RUS.Wasteland 2.0On top of all these extra texture mods and new character models, it's easy to add some extra detailed flair to the Mojave desert.
As in Fallout 3 and Skyrim, a must-have mod is the by Vurt. This mod adds more than 100 different trees, grasses, shrubs and other types of plant life to the vast expanse of the area surrounding the New Vegas Strip.
In order to make the Strip itself seem more realistic and lively, we also installed by users Schizofriendlia and MoBurma - what this mod does is it removes the gates between each area of the NV Strip in the vanilla version of the game, allowing it to be one continuous street instead of three separate areas.The next bit of our Wasteland overhaul comes in the form of a weather mod. There are two primary weather modifiers to choose from - JJC71's or the mod by Yossarian. Both mods add a bunch of excellent dyanmic weather effects, including enhanced rain, sandstorms (supplemented by Drumber's mod), radstorms and even snow, if you want to experience a bizzare and wintery Mojave.While Project Reality is fantastic, we opted to install the Nevada Skies mod, as it not only adds in weather effects and enhanced lighting, but also has an excellent U.I. And several great 'moods' for the wasteland, which can range from lore-friendly templates to fantastical color palates - even a Silent Hills inspired setting that blankets the desert in a thick and ominous fog.
Ultimately, though, the choice is entirely up to you.ENBeautifulIn addition to updating the textures, the biggest - and potentially most intimidating - aspect of revamping New Vegas is adding a new lighting system. Starting with the base files for, which modifies how the game renders light and visuals relative to the game's camera, we can then add one of dozens of ENB presets created by the community. The image above showcases the preset, which was technically designed for but still works with FNV, which gives the wasteland a warmer color palate and softens the inensity of in-game lighting and depth of field (which tells the camera what to focus on).Again, it's entirely up to the user which ENB to install - if you're looking for a grittier, more realistic setup, consider the or Shrutesh's. If it's a brighter, more desert-appropriate upgrade you seek, check out Courier and xCamoLegend's or Xilandro's.
The Blackout ENB is great, since it also includes patches that make it compatible with your weather mod of choice.These are just a few of the thousands of mods available for New Vegas - what do you think of our set up? Are we missing anything imperative? Are there other mods you'd reccomend to add for fun?

You now have a cleaned and combined NMC texture pack which you canpack into an fomod or archive to install with your favorite modmanagement application. If it's preferred, I can make a separate thread since this is a 'vanilla' NMC texture pack issue, but I have noticed an issue in my testing/comparing of vanilla/nmc/ojo bueno textures in making my own 'combined and cleaned' pack of my preferred textures.Outside of silver rush, during the day, the windows look like.
Fallout New Vegas Best Texture Packs
There is a minor issue of the rowhousetrim01g.dds glare file being used (which has a 3x4 window instead of a 2x3 as NMC has) being vanilla and not lining up, though I could easily enough just make my own glare file. The main issue is that at night, the texture of the window reverts to vanilla FNV textures, like.Because of the number of things like this that I'll stumble upon I'll probably make a separate thread dedicated to these texture pack issues, but I was wondering if anyone knew what causes this particular behavior. I intuit that there's a separate day/night texture for this (and other?) texture, but I don't know what would be the 'best' way to address it whatever it is.
Fallout New Vegas Nexus
I could just remove the NMC texture (thus avoiding the day/night inconsistency and also the vanilla glare file not matching)Additionally, is there a more elegant way of comparing textures than manually opening and looking at each one (ie, with an image viewer) or starting the game up and then restarting it with the other texture? There is a DDS viewer in the NVIDIA's texture tools (That's actually the exe that gets removed from the F3 pack). This is much more handy for looking at DDS files. However I wish there was something like ACDSEE where you could quickly scroll through them via mouse wheel.As for the texture thing, there is probably an enable parent that swaps the windows during night time and they have a different texture altogether. You might want to post on NMC's nexus thread about it as he's been around the last couple of months and he might fix it.
