DUSTY ROADS BASE - UTILITIES

MANUAL INSTALLATION

Let's get started!
Even when using MO2, still need to be installed manually into FNV’s root folder. Always choose the Manual Download button on Nexus Mods and follow the installation instructions outlined below.

Information

The root folder is the main directory where the game is installed; the directory containing FalloutNV.exe.

New Vegas Script Extender (NVSE xNVSE)

The most important modding resource that expands the scripting capabilities of FNV.

Download the main file New Vegas Script Extender (xNVSE) (manual download)
Extract the 7z-archive and move all extracted files into your game's root folder

FNV BSA Decompressor

Decompresses FNV's BSAs and repacks them without zlib compression for performance, and transcodes the sound effects.

Download the main file FNV BSA Decompressor
Extract the 7z-archive and run FNV BSA Decompressor.exe
The paths should be auto-filled. If not, complete with the path of your FNV installation. Click Decompress and wait for it to finish

Ultimate Edition ESM Fixes Remastered

Optimizes, cleans and fixes FNVs ESMs.

Open MO2, right-click in the left pane and select Create empty mod. Name it FNV ESM Fixes or something similar
Copy the folder path
Download the main file Ultimate Edition ESM Fixes Remastered
Extract the 7z-archive and run Installer.exe
The FNV path should be auto-filled. The mod folder path should be the path you copied earlier
Click Install and wait for it to finish
In MO2 click the refresh button (or press F5) and enable the FNV ESM Fixes mod by clicking the checkbox next to it

FNV 4GB Patcher

A patcher that enables 4GB memory access for FNV and automatically loads xNVSE

Download the main file 4GB Patcher
Extract the 7z-archive and move the file to your game's root folder
Run FNVpatch.exe, and a window will open with the text “FalloutNV.exe patched!”
Close the window and you'll see FalloutNV_backup.exe appeared (the original unpatched executable)

Information

If you're on Linux, you'll need to download FNV4GB for Linux. That's about the extent of the Linux support I can provide ☺.

MOD MANAGER INSTALLATION

From this point onward, use the Mod Manager Download option on Nexus Mods to send files directly to MO2’s Downloads tab, where they’ll be ready for installation.

Create a separator

Right-click in the left pane of MO2 and select Create separator. Name it UTILITIES.

JIP LN NVSE Plugin

JIP is an extension of NVSE. It adds new functions and includes numerous engine bug fixes and tweaks.

Download the main file JIP LN NVSE Plugin

Information

This is a typical situation where Rename should be used to install the INI file.

Chemist Re-Fixed (JIP LN NVSE Bugfix) (ESPless)

Implements a workaround for a poorly balanced fix to the Chemist and Day Tripper perks in JIP LN NVSE.

Download the main file Chemist Re-Fixed

JohnnyGuitar NVSE

Warning

The Continuous Release under Miscellaneous files is an unstable build that is automatically updated with every GitHub commit. As this version is intended for testing, I do not provide support for issues arising from its use.
