sfall VS vivanewvegas-wabbajack

Fallout 2 - Install Sfall or the open source re-implementation for a better experience. Install the Restoration patch if you want additional content.

For Fallout 2: For Both I suggest either Restoration Project Updated*, or updating Sfall. Sfall features a lot of QoL features (that you can toggle), such as quicksaving to individual save-slots, and a bunch more save-pages. In Fallout 2(and to an extend Fallout 1) you really shouldn't save in the same slots, as save corruption is not an unkown issue.

Sfall - Engine modifications for Fallout 2 - Improvements include: Better modern OS support, bug fixes, quality of life improvements, highlight button, party member control etc.

Enable Container Highlighting - essential for modern play - with [SFall 4.3.3])https://github.com/phobos2077/sfall/releases) (or at least v 3+). Your Steam or GoG game already comes with SFall, but the newer version lets you use your Shift key to spot potential loot. The SFall ReadMe gives good, clear instructions.

Data updates from RPU, sfall, IElib, IESDP.

u/SheriefFarouk you could share your code with the Sfall devs, so that the Dx10/12 stuff can be implemented there as well.

Fallout: New Vegas is great, but I'd strongly advise doing even your first playthrough with a decent Vanilla+ Modlist, it will take an hour or so to set up, but it's so worth it. I could never get past the first 2-3 hours, before I played it with this Modlist. The game already started feeling old when it came out (technology-wise) and this fixes it almost completely.

That’s the thing with Vortex, you can’t manually manage your plugin load order. Some people find it easier for new modders, but I think it’s detrimental to creating a good modlist. I’d recommend looking through Viva New Vegas and possibly consider switching form Vortex to Mod Organizer 2.

I recommend following Viva New Vegas This will tell you how to use MO2, along with making your game be stable and work properly.

Follow Viva New Vegas up until the User Interface Section, then skip to the final steps for the load order.

Grab MO2, install mod with it, learn how to use it here

Follow Viva New Vegas, you need a bunch of prerequisites to make them work correctly and you may as well make your game more stable for 5% more work on the way. Stop after the Gameplay section unless you want the rest of the mods.

For best results ensure you follow a GOOD modding guide as a starting point. For FNV, you absolutely need to follow Viva New Vegas (https://vivanewvegas.github.io/). FO3 and TTW have guides by the same author.

However I do recommend following Viva New Vegas for general bug fixes, if you want a purely vanilla playthrough, stop at the User Interface section of the guide.

If it can run Witcher 3 I doubt it can't also run FNV. If you do get the game make sure to get the performance mods + bugfixes from Viva New Vegas.
