(SteamOS) TTW installer insists my FO3 copy is invalid, even though I bought the Steam one just for installing TTW.

Literally just bought the steam copy of the game because it wouldn't accept the Epic version. I figured fair enough, I did get it for free and shelled out for a new copy on Steam to get this mod going. I used the anniversary downgrader from Nexus as well.

Only to get the same error when attempting to install TTW unfortunately.

While I am here do I have to downgrade for New Vegas as well? The internet was less clear about that.

Big Trouble in Big Town

Why is this quest bugged? I rescued the inhabitants. It tells me to talk to Red for my reward. I have done. I've talked to Red and she's given me my reward. Why does it still tell me to talk to her? The quest is incompletable as every time I talk to her now it just gives her standard dialogue about her being a doctor.

Like why tf is it still telling me to talk to her, And not completing, When I've already spoke to her about my reward, She has rewarded me, Exactly as the quest tells me to

[FNV] Begin again performance

Hi, so basically i tried the begin again modpack for FNV TTW mod, and i noticed thta basically runs like shit, constant frame drops and stuttering, also noticing that theresnot the best fps at all for a vanilla+ modpack (literally runs exactly the same as nuclear sunset, but even worst because at least nuclear sunset is way more stable than begin again), so i would like to know if theres any way to make that modpack run decently, as i could see it has all the engine fixes, so at this point im a little confused, why this modapack runs so bad compared to others (nuclear sunset as an example).

what mod is causing this

I'm trying to figure out if this is a mod or a setting that's causing this message to come up when i pick up a schematic. Does anyone know?

This has to be a glitch, Right?

I'm playing the Begin Again modpack, I'm in the Super Duper Mart, And I just picked a very easy lock. And in doing so, I just keep ranking up, I've ranked up 16 times in a row from picking this one lock, And every time I apply my skill points and chosen perks, I just level up again, Over and over.

There is no way in hell I should be levelling up 15 plus times from picking an easy locked Ammo crate surely?

Edit: I levelled up from level 5, Up 30 levels to the Begin Again level cap of 35. From lock picking a single very easy ammo crate. That's got to be a glitch? I should not be levelling up 30 levels in one go from picking a lock

From my last one couldn’t load pictures the first time about the body stretching. So here they are

My pervious post about me being a dumb(pubescent)teenager a few years ago and just having to have big honkers. Now I just want to play TTW but it kinda breaks the immersion a little when I see a mix of a black and white body being stretched to infinity and beyond. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Strange animation/iron sights glitch with a primarily WSG setup?

EDIT: Thank you everyone. I saved and went to bed literally as soon as Amata gave me the pistol, so I just barely didn't see that it's fixed as an adult lol

So I have a modded setup based on Wasteland Survival Guide. I just got the BB gun from dad, ans its glitched out. The iron sights don't work, but when I fire they jerk up for a second. There was also another animation glitch where the gun was halfway into my hand, but it was fixed by deleting New Vegas Animation Overhaul. I have tried turning off every mod related to iron sights that I could find, but nothing worked. Modlist below, thanks for any help!

TTW Nuclear Sunset

Can someone give me tips for this? I thought I'd enjoy this, And I love the massive overhaul it gives the games, However the amount of things changed compared to vanilla, Makes it very confusing to understand. It's not so much like you're playing Fallout 3 and New Vegas anymore, It's like you're having to learn a whole new game.

Not to mention the difficulty is ridiculous. I was killed whilst walking from Megaton to the Super Duper Mart, At level 1...

Tale of Two Wastelands issue

So, I changed the theme in my MO 2, and for some reason it changed where the Tale of Two Wastelands was and put it in the utilities separator. Here's a screenshot.

What if the Lone Wanderer became Courier Six? — My Tale of Two Wastelands Headcanon

I've been playing with an idea for a Tale of Two Wastelands playthrough, and I think I've finally landed on a headcanon that makes Fallout 3 → Fallout: New Vegas feel like one continuous story.

The idea:

The Lone Wanderer becomes Courier Six.

Not literally immediately after Fallout 3, but after years of traveling west and trying to escape the identity they built in the Capital Wasteland.

---

Part I — The Lone Wanderer

In 2277, a 19-year-old leaves Vault 101 looking for their father.

What follows is basically the events of Fallout 3.

They find James.

They lose James.

They help Project Purity.

They fight the Enclave.

They fight alongside the Brotherhood of Steel.

They survive the Capital Wasteland.

And eventually, after Broken Steel, they have accomplished everything they possibly could.

But here's where my headcanon diverges.

The Lone Wanderer isn't happy.

They've spent years being forced into impossible situations. They've watched people die, lost their father, fought a war they never asked for, and become a symbol to people they barely know.

So they leave.

---

Part II — The Journey West

The Lone Wanderer travels west.

Years pass.

Eventually, they reach the Mojave.

And they decide to disappear.

No more Vault Dweller.

No more Project Purity.

No more Brotherhood.

No more saving the world.

They become a Mojave Express courier.

The Lone Wanderer is effectively dead.

Courier Six is born.

For the first time, they're nobody special.

Just someone delivering packages.

Until Benny shoots them in the head.

---

Part III — Courier Six

The Courier wakes up in Doc Mitchell's house.

They remember their name.

They remember being a courier.

But everything else is fragmented.

And as they travel through the Mojave, pieces of their old life start coming back.

A Vault makes them uncomfortable.

Brotherhood armor feels strangely familiar.

The NCR reminds them of the governments they encountered back east.

Old technology feels almost instinctive.

And eventually, they remember.

They were the Lone Wanderer.

The Courier wasn't a completely new person.

They were the person the Lone Wanderer became after years of running from their past.

---

Part IV — The Mojave

This is where New Vegas becomes much more personal.

The Courier sees the NCR, Legion, Mr. House and the independent settlements fighting over the Mojave.

And they've seen this before.

They've seen what happens when powerful factions decide they know what's best for everyone.

They've seen the Enclave.

They've seen the Brotherhood.

They've seen Project Purity.

They've seen people die because of someone else's ideology.

So Courier Six doesn't immediately know who to trust.

And that's why I think the Independent/Yes Man ending fits this version of the character particularly well.

The Lone Wanderer spent their entire life following someone else's mission.

James's mission.

The Brotherhood's mission.

Project Purity's mission.

Now Courier Six finally gets to choose their own.

---

The DLCs become part of the character arc

Dead Money — learning to let go of the past.

Honest Hearts — confronting what happens when people become defined by their past.

Old World Blues — literally having pieces of yourself removed, which works beautifully as a metaphor for separating the Lone Wanderer from Courier Six.

Lonesome Road — finally confronting the consequences of the Courier's past and accepting who they are.

And then comes Hoover Dam.

---

The Final Battle

The Lone Wanderer once fought because the wasteland needed them.

Courier Six fights because they choose to.

That's the biggest difference between the two characters.

In Fallout 3:

«"I have to save everyone because nobody else will."»

In New Vegas:

«"I don't have to save anyone. But I can choose what I'm willing to fight for."»

And after Hoover Dam, Courier Six disappears.

No more factions.

No more wars.

No more destiny.

Just the Mojave and the open road.

The final idea I have for the character is:

«The Lone Wanderer saved the Capital Wasteland.

Courier Six decided what the Mojave would become.

The Lone Wanderer died in Washington.

Courier Six survived the Mojave.

That's the story I'm going to roleplay for my Tale of Two Wastelands playthrough.

Would love to hear what you guys think. Would this work as a headcanon, and what choices would your Lone Wanderer/Courier make?

Benny Humbles You Breaking Game

Has anyone else encountered the Benny Humbles You mod breaking your game, I can’t launch or play with that mod.

It was listed as one of the safe mods to use, so I’m curious if anyone knows why it messes with one of the gravity overhauls?

Are there a "invisible armor" crafting mod so i can wear whatever i want without being one hit?

I already play on hardcore + very hard. I'm simply not good enough nor have the patience to do "no hit" run.

I want to be able to wear whatever i want while still having high armor. Are there any mod to craft like an invisible armor to wear or change the stats of an armor in-game?
