I recommend making a shortcut of this file and putting it on your desktop. NOTE: For xNVSE to take effect, you'll need to launch New Vegas with the nvse_loader.exe file that comes with this mod. The download page has installation instructions. This mod extends the scripting capabilities of the vanilla game, which is necessary for making many popular mods work. Next up, you'll want the newest version of the New Vegas Script Extender, or xNVSE. If desired, you can override LOOT's optimization to make manual tweaks to your load order yourself (this shouldn't be necessary for the mods in this list). This program automatically reorganizes your load order to make it as stable as possible. Just wait a few moments until it is done loading the file. On larger files FOMM might freeze or act unresponsive for a bit. FOMM should now be loading the files, once this is done select the mod from your list on the package manager and click activate. A great tool to pair with your mod manager is the Load Order Optimization Tool, or LOOT. Go to the mods directory or the directory where the archive is saved and double click the mod archive file which contains your chosen mod.

This will allow New Vegas to read and accept any texture mods you install (we'll get to those later). Then go to Settings > Workarounds > BSA Redirection and toggle it. After installing it, log in, and select New Vegas as the game you're modding. I highly recommend Vortex since it has a great UI and is very easy to use. These tools automatically handle most mods' installation, so you don't have to dig around in-game files - simply drag-and-drop compressed mod files, and the mod manager will do the rest. If youre installing just one mod, simply paste it to the data folder of the new Vegas directory, then open the Vegas launcher, click data files, and activate the mod by checking the box next to it on the list. The first thing you need is a Nexus Mods account, the website where most mods are posted.
