How to Upload Your Mod With Manual and Nmm

An updated guide on properly installing interface overhauls such as Vanilla UI Plus or Darnified UI, along with extensions such as yUI and the Modern Configuration Card.

This guide explains how to easily install user interface mods on Fallout New Vegas with the User Interface Organizer (UIO). It'south based on my experience from developing and supporting a popular interface mod, and assumes an understanding of these terms:

• "UI extensions" which modify the game'south menu files via scripting. Examples include the Modernistic Configuration Carte, yUI, Stewie's Tweaks, Book Card and Project Nevada.

• "Base UI mods" which include modified versions of the game's standard menu files. VUI+, Darnified UI, the HUD Editor and old paperdoll mods are well known examples.

The guide also assumes that y'all're using a mod managing director and your best options are Mod Organizer 2 and NMM from Github. I personally find NMM easier just if you lot are going to use a lot of mods, go with MO2.

Installation Steps

Before yous start, make sure that your mod manager's Archive Invalidation option is enabled and that you have installed the latest version of UIO. Then apply the following steps in order:

1. Install the Yukichigai Unofficial Patch. This one ever goes start every bit it's designed to be overwritten past other mods.
2. Install any UI extension, overwriting whatever files. Make certain the Modern Configuration Carte du jour is just overwritten by its own bugfix.
3. Install your base UI overhaul (VUI+ or Darnified UI), overwriting files from the previous steps. This is the cardinal part of this guide.
4. Install whatever other base UI mod you lot like, simply only if it's compatible with your UI overhaul. A good example is the HUD Editor which is compatible with both VUI+ and DUI. Compatibility sometimes requires patches. If two base mods are instructing you lot to overwrite each other, follow the most recently updated.
   

When you lot run the game, UIO will automatically link your extensions without affecting your installed files. This means yous can safely uninstall UI mods at any fourth dimension, but retrieve to also uninstall any dependencies, e.g. if you uninstall VUI+, also uninstall anything that requires VUI+.

You tin besides bank check out this video which will explain some fine details on how to use MO2 to manually install files:

The video continues on the important subject of file conflict direction:

Example 1: VUI+, HUD Editor, Projection Nevada, MCM and Pitt Gal

The YUP patch volition too be installed only requires no mention considering information technology's essential for a stable New Vegas game. Past checking out the "Currently supported mods" list for UIO besides every bit the descriptions of our mods we figure out that:

• Projection Nevada, and the MCM are extensions. Project Nevada contains old versions of the MCM'southward files which means information technology must be overwritten by the MCM.
• VUI+ and Pitt Gal are base mods, and should be immune to overwrite whatsoever extensions.
• VUI+ provides an addon for Pitt Gal which states that VUI+ should overwrite Pitt Gal.
• The HUD Editor is a base of operations mod but it's specified equally compatible with VUI+. The writer states that if you should let his modernistic overwrite everything but he obviously refers to compatible mods only.

So, we're now ready to start installing according to our Installation Steps:

1. Install the YUP.
2. Install PN, let information technology overwrite any file.
3. Install the MCM, let it overwrite any file.
4. Install the MCM bugfix, let it overwrite any file.
5. Install Pitt Gal, let it overwrite any file.
6. Install VUI+ , let it overwrite any file.
7. Install the VUI+ patch for Pitt Gal, let it overwrite any file.
8. Install the HUD Editor.

That was easy since VUI+ is designed for maximum compatibility.

Case ii: DUI, PN, MCM and Pitt Gal

Darnified UI is an old and highly respected interface overhaul. It has its own unique style, based on smaller fonts which are specially appealing to players who want to use boosted HUD infographics. Although information technology was left in alpha stage, it'south fully functional and the majority of UI mods work fine with it.

• Like most extensions, MCM and PN are uniform with DUI.
• After a scrap of searching we notice the Pitt Gal Stats for Darnified UI NV patch
• After more searching we find some other patch: Pitt Gal Stats NV - HUD FIX - DarnUI

We're now ready to start installing, keeping in mind that patches should ever be overwriting their parent mods:

1. Install the YUP.
2. Install PN, let it overwrite any file.
3. Install the MCM, let it overwrite any file.
4. Install the MCM bugfix, let it overwrite whatever file.
5. Install Pitt Gal, allow information technology overwrite any file.
6. Install DUI, allow it overwrite any file.
7. Install Pitt Gal Stats for Darnified UI, let it overwrite any file.
8. Install Pitt Gal Stats NV - HUD Gear up - DarnUI.

The HUD Editor was not included in this case because information technology'southward a base modern and it's not specified to be compatible with DUI. Base mods should always exist considered incompatible by default; overwriting them by each other without reading instructions will often event in malfunction.

Non-recommended mod managers

I have tested and rejected FOMM, Vortex, ModDrop, and Wrye Bash for this guide.

FOMM is a rock-solid managing director but cannot install NVSE plugins. ModDrop and Wrye Bash do non back up C# scripting used in some pop New Vegas mods. Every bit for Vortex,

My dude, since Vortex is the official director from Nexus and 80% of all the mods come from the Nexus, why not simply brand the guide vortex-uniform?

For years, modernistic authors have been posting load guild suggestions in the post-obit form:

1. YUP Patch
2. MCM
3. Vanilla UI Plus
4. VUI+ Remastered Patch

This is actually like shooting fish in a barrel to do in both MO2 and NMM from Github. In the former you lot just drag mods co-ordinate to your load order, every bit seen in the videos to a higher place. In the latter, you install mods in order and select "Overwrite" every bit you go.

In Vortex still, this is what you have to bargain with:

The mod managing director's job is to make things simple. This is non unproblematic and it's not something I'm willing to support. That'southward why I can't recommend Vortex.
