<dl>
<dt>A freshly installed, legal copy of Fallout New Vegas, with all the DLC with the exception of the pre-order
packs. Make sure it is not in either Program Files or Program Files (x86).</dt>
<dd>I suggest you install it on an <abbr title="Solid State Drive">SSD</abbr> if you can.</dd>
<dt>Launch the Fallout New Vegas Launcher and have it pick a preset for you.</dt>
<dd>You may want to go through and make sure all the settings are to your liking, but some will be tweaked later
anyways.</dd>
<dt>If you use Steam, disable the Steam Overlay for Fallout New Vegas.</dt>
<ol>
<li>Start up Steam.</li>
<li>Click <b>Library</b>.</li>
<li>Search for <b>Fallout New Vegas</b>.</li>
<li>Right click on the game.</li>
<li>Click <b>properties</b>.</li>
<li>Under the <b>General</b> tab, uncheck <b>Enable Steam overlay in game</b>.</li>

Authors note:<br>
My <abbr title="Operating System">OS</abbr>, <abbr title="Fallout New Vegas">FNV</abbr> and <abbr title="Mod Organizer 2">MO2</abbr>
are installed on a Samsung EVO <abbr title="Solid State Drive">SSD</abbr> 250GB.<br>
My downloads are stored on a Toshiba <abbr title="Hard Disk Drive">HDD</abbr> 1TB.<br>
Windows 7 is currently the best option for modding Fallout New Vegas.<br>
Windows 10 has a few issues that I will make note of throughout the guide.<br>

<h1 id="Mod-Installation-Advice">Mod Installation Advice</h1>
<ul>
<li><span class="notice">Main Files</span> + <span class="notice">Updates</span> + <span class="notice">Hotfixes</span>
- Install as one mod. (e.g. merge together in MO2)</li>
<li><span class="notice">Optional Files</span> - Install as separate mod in MO2.</li>
<li><span class="notice">Miscellaneous files</span> - Install as separate mod in MO2.</li>
<li><span class="notice">Patches</span> - Install as separate mod in MO2.</li>
<li>Read the descriptions, pinned comments, and read-me’s of mods before commenting in the Discord about a
mod-specific issue to see if one of them has the solution.<br>
It’s also a good idea to read them to see if you will like the mod, as minddessly installing every mod on here
might not be the best result for your personal taste.</li>
<li>If I don’t give any special install instructions for a mod, just install the main file.</li>
<li>If I say "<em><span class="notice">Special Install Instructions: Don’t Install the following Files/Folders:</span></em>",<br>
uncheck the box next to the listed file/folder during the installation in MO2.
</li>
<li>Track every mod you install, so you know when it’s updated. I won’t be making announcements when any mods are
updated so that’s up to you. Also endorse the mods you if like them.</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="A-Note-About-the-Plugin-Limit">A Note About the Plugin Limit</h1>
<p>
The Gamebryo engine isn’t exactly very polished.<br>
Unlike Skyrim and Fallout 4 that have a max 255 plugin count,<br>
Fallout 3 and New Vegas have a soft cap of 140.<br>
However, the game can experience instability from 137 plugins and onward.<br>
For that reason, the guide will always stay under 120 plugins.<br>
If you are adding your own mods, try to get familiar with Merge Plugins tool<br>
so you can try to stay below 120 plugins.<br>
A mod in the guide will warn you when you go above 139 plugins when you are in-game.
</p>

Install all to any folder where you can access it easily, unless instructed otherwise.
