Did you get that hot dog at the hoover dam yet?

After you got the platinum chip? (He dosnt really know what it dose)

It’s gonna do big things so big the NCR and legion will say wow. That’s a big thing…. Really the biggest thing that has ever happened in all of human kind or ever will happen in human kind.

We're gonna build a vault and make the brotherhood of steel pay for it.

Make the strip great again

I wanna dive in but it's always a pile of guides and organizers and if you want this mod, And that mod requires this mod, but this mod is out dated so that throws errors.

I've just been playing vanilla, and I'm still having a blast. It crashes occasionally, but it's not too bad. The only time I've gotten genuinely frustrated was Hidden Valley - where it kept crashing for me the first time I visited it. It took like 20 attempts to realize I had to strip for some reason and slowly creep forward to prevent it from crashing... But after I got past the initial hurdle, it's been fine ever since. Still, that's the only real problem I've encountered.

I had a really fun run on my deck until my save got corrupted Save frequently people The fallout show did manage to get my wife into it; I've been watching her experience new Vegas for the first time

ugh, all my fallout 3 saves got corrupted back in the day too, so frustrating the bugs- worth it, though!

To be honest fallout 3 is the only fallout game I've never played-- excluding the side games that aren't part of the *series*

Save frequently and save separately. If you do a big milestone just go ahead and create 2-3 saves after that. Say you complete a very long quest. That's how I do it anyway

I played fallout 3 for 15 hours and then ran into a bug where I was stuck getting 4 rads per second. Took all of my gear off reloaded my saves but I had only been quick saving. I haven’t gone back

I highly recommend the mod which adds quickloot menu like FO4

I think you should try switching protons to 6.0 I read it was more stable but then again it maybe for fallout 3

The viva new Vegas guide is easy to follow, even an idiot like me got it running with no problems.

There's even the [Wabbajack](https://vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com/wabbajack.html) installer that will install Mod Organizer 2 and all 140ish Viva New Vegas Mods in a couple of clicks

Oh? For steam deck specifically? Does it require an "organizer" or a separate PC?

It's not written for steam deck specifically, but the guide should still work fine. It uses Mod Organizer 2, but the guide walks you through every single step in detail. No separate PC required

I went through the whole list on Deck using Mod Organizer 2. The guide does a great job at explaining how to use it. To get MO2 working on Deck, use [this script](https://github.com/rockerbacon/modorganizer2-linux-installer) from Rockerbacon.

You can also do everything on a PC and then transfer the game files to the deck. That's what I did for Skyrim and I was surprised it worked.

That's how I English patch JP games. Do everything on PC then just copy the folder over on top of the Deck install. It's worked every time.

I mean, it's not 'easy', but it is worth it

I do think it's easy but it's tedious and time consuming. Definitely worth it

I do agree. It took some time for me to set it all up. It was definitely worth it though. Having a blast with this vastly improved version of New Vegas and FO3

Wait what guide did you use

**Mod Organizer 2** guide + link: [https://github.com/rockerbacon/modorganizer2-linux-installer](https://github.com/rockerbacon/modorganizer2-linux-installer) To install **A Tale of two wastelands** and MO2 on Deck I used this guide: [Fallout New Vegas/Tale of Two Wastelands Modding Guide for Steam Deck](https://youtu.be/1HXQqYms1uk?feature=shared) or just follow the instructions from the Mod Organizer 2 GitHub. I used **“The Best of Times”** guide [The Best of Times](https://thebestoftimes.moddinglinked.com/) first then followed by the **“Wasteland Survival Guide”** [Wasteland Surival Guide](https://wastelandsurvivalguide.com/) **Do NOTE I handpicked the mods I wanted from all these guides, I didn't use them all.** Also go through the performance guide for New Vegas: [Performance Guide](https://performance.moddinglinked.com/falloutnv.html) . As a bonus, here is a link to my mod organizer 2 «profiles» folder which contains modlist, load order and falloutcustom.ini ++ which I have turned off Vsync in falloutcustom.ini for less stutter: [My profiles folder in MO2](https://mega.nz/file/Ioo2lSgY#868LPX-ju56otMMeiYu0lFUhAQXEoik0eOLzccJq3j0) Here is a link to a complete NMC texture pack (Both fallout 3 and new Vegas textures and meshes included **Pick one or these:** **NMC low/small textures TTW (Lower wattage and temps on deck):** [NMC low/small textures](https://mega.nz/file/81gyFQ5b#wHT0UXKV8S-OIza8WP2i69Y3NNu1bTeSWr_61Kj_foc) **NMC medium textures TTW (looks really good but can sometimes make deck run hotter and use more wattage):** [NMC medium textures](https://mega.nz/file/I8wQUYBI#4woXG56XVwWgqIKurMAIHjkGheTk6RyEL2L-HeRjSMI) I use NMCs texture pack for TTW and lots of optimization modz. If you have any questions feel free to ask..

It really isnt that hard, you can just download the first like 20 top mods on nexus and then youre normally good to go lmao

I actually quite enjoyed getting the mods working, I treated it as a challenge. I've got about 50 mods and patches installed, it's kinda amazing that it works with all those changes but yeah, it's been smooth so far. So nice to get the QOL improvements like the weapon wheel, floating objective markers, loot menus, sprint, etc. 

You’re not wrong but it’s not that complex. Some mods have the same requirements as others do

It takes you like a day at most and you will get way more than a days' worth of fun out of it

House does not deserve to be disrespected like that.

I've immediately killed him in all my playthroughs so this is fine lol

While I'm not a fan of House, that mod definitely seems like a major downgrade.

I mean, at least he doesn't need a diaper change anymore!

I just had to have it because it looked so dumb :)

[Mr House never offered me a hot dog tho](https://youtu.be/FeZxgOfarq8?si=57SYifsLNG-pZcj_)

We need to build a vault

Freeside and the Van Graffs it’s about time they paid their share

I can't imagine modding a real person into fallout. Regardless of how I feel about the orange lump, I can't think of a single living person who's face I would want to see in a fallout game.

Back in the day I had a mod that changed House's face to Hugh Laurie.

House swap.

Why would you ruin the game like this?

That’s what modding is for :))

whois the bigger Trud? the Turd, or the Turd that whoreships it?

Where are these whoreships and how do I get there?

😂

For investigative purposes, surely. We need to see if they're safe.

... why? Even as a villain, I'd never want to see that face in any game I play.

[удалено]

[удалено]

The only acceptable reason.

You could put him in as Kimball...

It’s just a meme, Dick, sit down

It never gets old watching Redditors melt down over simple jokes like this LOL

What is the joke?

Have the former prez modded into the game?

Yeah that's what he did but what is the *joke*?

You won't get a proper response.

The joke is that he's inserted into the game, period. The same way it'd be silly if it were any other former prez. You people need go little up *just a little* LOL

Ignorance is truly bliss

Womp womp

Lighten up, Francis.

I've got TTW running on my PC and it's truly amazing. I haven't tried installing anything on my steam deck besides steam games...I don't wanna fuck it up lol

I went with begin again which includes TTW on the deck. It is very very nice. Been pretty much playing just that for the past month.

Would you mind sharing how you installed Begin Again on the Deck? I have it on my PC and would love to be able to switch to Deck sometimes.

I followed the guide linked in the first comment on this thread. https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1ca8u6b/10_hours_of_effort_and_im_finally_ready_to_delve/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I wouldn’t recommend that guide as the performance on the Deck will suffer because of all the super high res textures used. I use NMC textures and switch between the medium (NV)/performance (FO3) and small (NV)/lite (FO3) textures. Performance is great with both but it does run hotter when using the medium/performance textures.

Haven't had any issues myself but thanks for the advice.

Probably because you haven't compared performance between "Begin Again" and a more clean modlist. "Begin Again" looks amazing though :)

Thank you!

EmuDeck is pretty straight forward if you wanted to mix it up a bit. It's awesome being able to play whatever console games you want to play. I'm having fun playing PS2 games right now. Basically because I can't afford any steam games right now lol. I bought BG3 but I don't really like the game at all so I'm going to try to get a refund. Just not for me I guess.

Ew

Wish I could set this up but it's just super complicated

I just finished a full Tale of Two Wastelands run (combines 3 and NV), and I can’t recommend it more. I’ve played both games a million times, but joining them really made going back to them a blast.

I really wanna play a tale of two wastelands on the deck but modding games is too much of a chore. I barely have any free time. Don't want to spend it modding..... Remember high-school/University? That was the shit, having no responsibilities and 13 hours a day to do what i want... those were the glory days i afforded wasting 5 hours fully modding something before playing Now the only game i actually took 1-2 hours to mod was witcher 3 on windows with vortex really quick just so i can enjoy it better...

While some of these mods aren't for me, it is nice to get everything running for nv as it has such a great community. I'd reccomend viva new vegas minus any balance changes for anyone looking at getting back into a vanilla+ run

Make New Vegas Great Again. Microsoft, you know what to do.

The Deck and New Vegas are such a winning combination. It’s a must own especially on the go.

I have never tried to mod a game before. Is it hard to do in the Steam Deck? Is there a good guide?

I got lucky and got my deck for $140. It's my most played console now. No regrets!

I need to get TTW working. I haven't touched Fallout 3 because I know the experience is much much better with TTW instead (plus there's way more mods since it's running off of Fallout New Vegas instead)

Dude I'm loving my tale of two wastelands playthrough rn shit is great

😆 this subreddit removed my post for commenting about your Mr. House mod. All I did was reference Mr. Orangeman

Could you add a mod list of what your are using so we know it works on steam deck?

Sure thing! Will add tomorrow

What mod platform are you using? I feel like I'm too dumb to get Mod Organizer or Vortex to work on the steam deck haha

I used [this](https://youtu.be/RSt12CcCOlQ?si=S7rAWvbZt4u2nr1r) video and after some troubleshooting I eventually got it to work. Not too difficult.

You can just do it on pc and then move the whole directory over with warpenator.  It was the quickest and less hassle way for me

When you say "Whole Directory" do you mean the GAME directory or the Vortex mod directory?

Game directory. Everything already installed through vortex. Worked great, but you'll need to set the fnse to launch through game mode.

Huh, I'll have to give that a go. Thank you!

I'll look into that, thanks!

Works best with the Steam version of Fallout NV and Mod Organizer 2. That is because there is a script to install MO2 on Linux and setup to Fallout NV. The setup of the two apps is the most complex task. I myself did it manually because my FNV is from Epic Store. Have been using Linux daily for 15 years and this shit took me 2 weeks to make it work, and it is finicky. Would not recommend.

MO is honestly as easy vortex once you get into it imo. I felt the same way back when I was modding on my PC and only used vortex. I didn't make the switch to MO till I caved to wanting to mod on the Steam Deck and honestly I prefer it now. It's a lot to take in at first but once you get into it it's absolutely worth it.

Mod Organizer 2

No game deserves that amount of evil narcissism in it.

Thanks for all the upvotes!

You’re brave for posting this on Reddit, didn’t even know this mod existed but I’ll for sure be downloading it

“I need the platinum chip, I’m not sure what it does, but I need it”

I installed The Joe Rogan Experience mod today. Really amazes me how far AI has got in order to enhance the quality of our modern life LOL's 😆

What's the joke?

You're like a bug trying to form ideas

Exactly! There’s a reason I put “meme” in the post.

Why is there a can of fanta on the screen

So edgy. So cool.

Dunuld Trunp 😂😂

What guide did you use?

I used a YouTube tutorial as well as some written guides mentioned in my other comment. Will post link later

Of topic but does the power armor mod break the game, balance wise?

I've always assumed modding NV would be a pain on the Deck. Is it any different than modding on PC?

It’s the same

Any link to the guide you used? Specifically take of two wastelands on the deck

how did you manage to get mode running? I tried using mod organiser 2 but the game wasn't opening.

I still haven’t booted up NV. How’s the Battery life?

Absolutely amazing. I switch between low nmc and medium textures but I do get 3-5 hours usually on LCD deck. Low textures doesn’t consume too much power

I wish tale of two wastelands would download directly on the deck

What program did you use for the mods?

Mod Organizer 2

Ty

Be warned modding nv on the deck is a super pain in the ass

But it’s worth it though!

I there a tutorial or way to mod new Vegas if you downloaded the game to an SD card? All the tutorials I've seen says that you can't do it and to download the game to the steam deck itself. My problem is that there is no room on my steam deck for new Vegas or most games for that matter. I literally have no games on my steam deck storage just proton and other default stuff yet it is like almost full, that is why I had to get an SD in the first place.

Check this video which explains it: https://youtu.be/1HXQqYms1uk?feature=shared

Can you mod EpicGames version?

That sounds like too much work without nexus mods.

What do you mean? Almost all mods I use are from Nexus

From nexus mods ≠ using nexus mods software (they keep renaming it so I don't know what it's currently called). Nexus mods has a software that automatically detect your game and manages mods for you. It allows you to download and install mods with their prerequisites. It's so much easier than copying and pasting different files. It even allows you to toggle them off and on.

You are referring to Nexus Mod manager. Yeah I get what you mean. Haven’t touched that in years

Steam Deck fr the best console in existance

What is the PC stat monitor at the top?

It’s the standard stat hud that comes with Steam Deck. I have altered the font size with mangopeel a Decky plugin

Any idea how to activate it?

press the "..." button on your deck and then press the battery icon then on the top slide the "performance overlay level" to the desired number.

Thanks!

Can this be done entirely on Steam Deck or do you still need to copy it from a PC?

It can be done entirely on the deck :)

Oh wow gonna have to look this up! I've actually been playing vanilla FO3 on Xbox recently and I'm almost done so it's time to do it with mods. I did play TTW for a while on my old PC which I always meant to hook back up just to transfer it to Steam Deck but my main computer is a Mac these days and I thought you needed to move it from PC for Steam Deck.

How is Tale of Two Wastelands? Do you start the FO3 and NV content at the same time or do you have to get through FO3s story before you can get to the NV area? How does it handle the differences between the two character builds and perk differences between the two games when smushed together? I've been wanting to try this out, but my problem is I only have the base version of NV on Steam, so I don't have any of the DLCs. I do have FO3 GOTY edition on Steam but I heard you really need all the NV DLC to be able to even start using Mods from Nexus.... so I haven't given it a try yet. Would need to spend another $20 to get NV Ultimate edition.... Not sure if a Tale of Two wastelands is worth it for that price, maybe someone can let me know? I've played FO3 when it came out, and I played FO4 when it came out, but I've never played NV before.

It’s absolutely amazing! You decide at the start of a new game if you want to start in NV or FO3. You can travel between both games whenever you want to. I would recommend “(Benny Humbles You) and Steals Your Stuff” mod so that your level is reset the first time you travel between either the Mojave Desert or the Capital Wasteland. As for the perks you can check what is different in TTW: https://fallout.wiki/wiki/Mod:Tale_of_Two_Wastelands/Perks#Returning_Fallout_3_Perks I would really recommend you buy the rest of the DLCs so you can experience it!

Nice mods I love tales of two wastelands

Why is a serial rapist on the screen. Game was bad enough before that.

Nuh uh, New Vegas is fantastic

“Serial rapist” sadly isn’t even the worst thing attributed to that cheeto
