Read every mod page as you install, make sure you have good load order (use BOSS), look for compatibility patches, and if using a lot of mods, create a merged patch with FNVedit. In the case of things like menus for example (Project Nevada, Hud Mods, MCM, many gameplay mods) installing them in the wrong order can make others not function.ĭoing a clean install is always worth it, even though it takes quite a long time when you get all your mods again, just make sure if you're going this far, you do it all right. A lot of mods modify the same files, the biggest mistakes I see people make are installing mods overtop of mods that have already modified a file. When you start adding new mods, take into major consideration what order you install them in (not just load order). That will save you 90% of the time this takes. This way, if you want to do this in the future, you can just uninstall mods via the mod manager (to clean it up) and delete your old new vegas folder, renaming your backup to the correct name. If you have the hard drive space, I recommend copying and pasting your Steamapps/common/Fallout New Vegas folder (or wherever it is saved) before modding. Run the game once via steam, this will create your new settings files in My Games/Fallout New Vegas (you need to do this for NMM to run)
In steam, right click the game, go to properties, go to "local content"' and click "verify integrity of steam cache" this will ensure all the backed up files are all there. If you are not backing up saves, delete your entire My Games/Fallout New Vegas folder (this will get rid of all of your settings and saves) You can backup your old saves like /u/titan357 said, but if you had a heavily modded game they are most likely not useable (scripts wont trigger, missing incomplete triggers that reference in game material, and mods that leave things running even when uninstalled many mods need special uninstalls for saves to function. Once it is uninstalled, make sure the folder it was in is also gone, if not, delete it. Go to your fallout folder, which by default is C:\program files(x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas - Delete the folder "fallout new vegas" (In your case, wherever you have the game saved)įind where you installed Nexus mod manager (right click on it, go to properties, it will tell you its location) Uninstall the mod manager, if it asks to delete mods, say yes. Once backed up, Right click on the game and uninstall it in steam, this will get rid of the game (all of the mods will still be there) Use Steam Backup to backup your game, It will only take the core files, it will not touch any modded files.
What /u/Titan357 said is mostly correct, but if you do it his way the mods will not uninstall and files will be left over (uninstalling the game in steam does NOT get rid of all mods)
