The Uranium Fever Team presents:

Uranium Fever!

Uranium Fever is a massive, full-game overhaul and expansion of the worlds of Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 3. Focused on a hardcore and compelling gameplay experience, this list represents a dramatic deviation from the vanilla experience. Every single mod and setting included in this list was carefully considered by a team of experts in various different New Vegas modding domains. Very few aspects of the game remain untouched. We consider this the most cohesive, balanced, and mechanically interconnected Tale of Two Wastelands (TTW) experience. Enjoy!

  • Armor Damage Overhaul - Replaces the nonsensical base game armor degradation system with a design that is highly customizable and markedly more intuitive.
  • New Blood - A complete reconstruction and rebalancing of damage in its entirety. New Blood adds bleeding effects when struck by bladed weapons and formula based knockdown when hit by blunt weapons or shotgun shots.

  • Weapon Jamming Tweaks - Adjusts weapon jamming to foster a more hardcore experience. Fixes several jam related bugs, and adds a new jam clearing function.

  • Bad Touch - Adds consequences to exposure to environmental hazards, such as fire, electricity, cacti, broken glass, toxic sludge pools, poisonous gas, and radioactive goo.
  • BURN (Hardcore Fire Effects) - Causes unprotected humans and flammable creatures to panic and flee when set on fire, enhancing gameplay mechanics for fire and explosive based weaponry.
  • Forced Entry - Allows the player to bypass locks by attacking them. This makes the player choose between using different scarce resources, lockpicks or ammo and weapon condition.

  • Immersive Minigames - Real-time, character-skill based replacements for hacking and lockpicking, with an emphasis on resource management.
  • B42 Quickthrow - Adds a new, modernized weapon throwing mechanic, further promoting the use of throwables.
  • Stash Organizer - A customizable framework to configure automatic organization of stored items.
  • Purchase Items on Display - Allows purchase of items directly off of shelves in shops, rather than bartering directly with vendors. Most mods included in Uranium Fever have items specifically placed and balanced for use with this mod.

Comprehensive Overhauls

  • Functional Post Game Ending - Adds a fully functional post-game world to the game. You will no longer be brought to the credits after beating the game.
  • MoreMojave - Adds many new, intense, and carefully balanced locations at sparser areas of the Mojave Wasteland.
  • Uncut Wastelands - Restores a massive amount of scenery, items, and NPCs that were patched out of the game following release.

  • Sweet Pain - Adds many intense and unique locations throughout the game, all packed with lore and excitement.
  • Mojave Raiders - A complete overhaul and diversification of the many Raider factions of the Mojave Wasteland.
  • AGE (Anchorage Gameplay Expansion) - A complete overhaul of the Anchorage DLC including rebalancing, new gear, new weapons, new enemies, new encounters, and new boss fights. Heavily inspired by Call of Duty, Doom Eternal, and Half-Life, though with an emphasis on full-game cohesion and lore-friendliness.
  • DMT (Dead Money Tweaks) - A complete overhaul of the Dead Money DLC including rebalancing, new gear, new weapons, and new enemies. Intended to be a pseudo-RPG-survival horror experience inspired by Resident Evil, though with focus on full-game cohesion and lore-friendliness.
  • EDGE (Early Decisions and Gameplay Enhancement) - A large-scale overhaul of Tale of Two Wastelands. EDGE initially originated as a mod focused on rebalancing the early game, though has since been expanded to comprehensively rebalance nearly all aspects of both Wastelands, affecting many weapons, armors, locations, quests, encounters, creatures, companions, NPCs, loot, crafting, vendors, SPECIAL stats, perks, and karma.

Dialogue Overhauls

  • Brave New World - A near complete professional revoicing of voice lines throughout the Mojave Wasteland, including more than 7,000 lines of dialogue.
  • Dialogue & Interaction Expansion Overhaul - A comprehensive overhaul of player dialogue and interaction choices.

NPC & Enemy Overhauls

  • Companion Characteristics - Provides gameplay quirks derived from companion personality traits.
  • Mojave Wildlife - Adds hundreds of leveled, vanilla-friendly creature spawn points throughout the Mojave Wasteland.

Content

  • Autumn Leaves - A DLC-sized quest mod delving into a centuries-old library inhabited by sentient machines. Contains over 2,000 professionally voiced lines, 8 new quests, around 10 hours of gameplay, multiple different endings, and an original soundtrack.
  • Havasu Blues - A DLC-sized quest mod featuring an irradiated survival experience in the territory surrounding Lake Havasu City. Includes more than 60 professionally voiced characters, 28 new quests, around 10 hours of gameplay, and an entirely new world space.
  • 3DNPCs - Two expansive content mods, each focused on expanding its respective Wasteland. The first adds 15 quests, 8 companions, many background NPCs, and a radio station to the Capital Wasteland. The second adds 5 quests, 3 companions, and many background NPCs to the Mojave Wasteland.
  • Vegas Elysium Perk Pack - A perk and trait pack that introduces a new cabinet and flaw systems, inspired by the game Disco Elysium. These new systems typically take the form of the player having a conflicting thought that initially provides a debuff, though after meeting certain criteria (coming across specific items, encounters, or taking a certain action enough times), the player is able to internalize the “answer” to the thought, ultimately providing a substantial buff. The text prompts in this mod are typically very colorful, adding a great deal of depth and fun to the game.

Sound

  • ATMOS Ambience Overhaul - A massive modernization of the ambient soundscapes of both Wastelands.
  • Passive Combat Music Tweaked - Delays combat music until certain conditions have been met, preventing the player from being prematurely notified that they were spotted by enemies.

Animation & Visual

  • 3rd Person Camera Overhaul - Adds modernized camera features, such as shoulder swapping, smooth interactive camera movement, and fully fleshed out customizable camera positioning.
  • Armed to the Teeth Redux - Allows the player to holster 4 weapons on their body at once.
  • Titans of the New West 2.0 - A complete reimagining and retexturing of power armor to achieve a much more heavy and imposing aesthetic. Also including many new features, animations, and sound effects.
  • B42 Optics - Seamlessly adds dual-render scopes into the game.
  • B42 True Learning - Adds contextual lean when aiming out from corners.
  • Enhanced Movement - A complete movement overhaul and expansion, featuring bug fixes, diagonal movement, enhanced sprinting, enhanced sneaking, animated prone framework, and new animations.
  • Modern Stagger Animations - A complete replacement for stagger animations made via motion capture. Greatly enhances the flow of combat.
  • Simple Attack Reactions - Adds animations to NPCs in response to being injured. Greatly enhances the flow of combat.
  • Ragdolls & Death Throes - Dramatically improves ragdoll behavior to create more realistic pain and death animations.
  • New Vegas Reloaded & Salamand3r's Helios Preset - A custom graphical extender that injects various new effects into the game. Helios utilizes this framework to make uniquely customized and independent world space visuals. This is, arguably, the most beautiful expression of the DC and Mojave Wastelands.
  • Desert Natural Weathers - A complete overhaul of the weathers of both Wastelands with 360 panoramic cloud textures, improved lighting, and enhanced variation in rain, overcast, clear, snowy, and foggy weathers.

  • Close the launcher.

Installing Tale of Two Wastelands

Important

This mod is REQUIRED for Uranium Fever to function properly.

You MUST use the TTW Installer. A prior TTW installation CANNOT cannot be moved into the Uranium Fever TTW mod folder. This is because the TTW installation process performs BSA decompression of base game files, which needs to be run on the copy of Fallout: New Vegas provided by Uranium Fever.

  • Download the 3.3.2a Tale of Two Wastelands Installer and extract the contents of the archive.
  • Copy C\Modding\Uranium Fever\mods\[NoDelete] Tale of Two Wastelands.
  • Open the extracted Tale of Two Wastelands Installer folder, right click TTW Install.exe, and select Run as Administrator.
  • Verify that the file path for the Fallout 3 matches your normal Steam/GOG Fallout 3 installation path (this should be auto-configured).
  • CHANGE the Fallout New Vegas file path to C:\Modding\Uranium Fever\Stock Game\Fallout New Vegas.
  • Enter C\Modding\Uranium Fever\mods\[NoDelete] Tale of Two Wastelands into the Tale of Two Wastelands Installation Path.
  • Click Install.
  • When complete, close the Installer.

Caution

The game WILL NOT WORK if you fail to change the Fallout New Vegas installation file path to reflect the New Vegas installation provided in the Stock Game folder.

Installing New Vegas Reloaded (NVR)

Important

This mod is REQUIRED for Uranium Fever to function properly.

  • Navigate to the TES Reloaded Discord Server.
  • In the Nightly Builds channel, download the NVR Nightly release from March 29th, 2024. DO NOT use the latest build.
  • Click the Install a New Mod from Archive icon in the top left corner of MO2 (it looks like a floppy disc).
  • Select the NVR download from your Downloads folder.
  • Name it [NoDelete] NVR.
  • Select Replace when prompted Mod Exists.

Installing Stash Organizer

Important

This mod is REQUIRED for Uranium Fever to function properly.

  • Download Stash Organizer.
  • Select Manual download.
  • Click the Install a New Mod from Archive icon in the top left corner of MO2 (it looks like a floppy disc).
  • Select the Stash Organizer download from your Downloads folder.
  • Name it [NoDelete] Stash Organizer.
  • Select Replace when prompted Mod Exists.
  • In the plugins tab (the right pane in MO2), find Stash Organizer.esp, click the check box to enable it, then drag it up to priority #116 (between PurchaseDisplay.esp and JustAssortedMods.esp).

Disable Base Address Randomization

Tip

This step can prevent unforeseen crashes.

  • Open Windows Security from the Start Menu.
  • Open App & Browser Control in the left sidebar.
  • Open Exploit Protection Settings under Exploit Protection.
  • Set Force Randomization for Images (Mandatory ASLR) to Use Default (Off).

Creating Exclusions

Tip

This process prevents windows from blocking MO2 and associated mod files from loading.

  • Open Windows Security.
  • Open Virus & Threat Protection.
  • Click Manage Settings under Virus & Threat Protection Settings.
  • Scroll down and select Add or Remove Exclusions under Exclusions.
  • Add exclusions for C:\Modding\Uranium Fever and C:\Modding\Wabbajack.
  • This process will also need to be done for any third-party antivirus.

Disabling Steam Overlay

Tip

This process disables Steam Overlay, which has been known to cause crashes and worsen performance.

  • Navigate to your Steam Folder (the same folder where your steam.exe is).
  • Right click GameOverlayRenderer.dll and open properties.
  • Open the security tab and click edit.
  • Click the Deny option under Read & Execute for every user.
  • Click Apply, then Yes.
  • In the same folder, right click SteamOverlayVulkanLayer.dll and open properties.
  • Open the security tab and click edit.
  • Click the Deny option under Read & Execute for every user.
  • Click Apply, then Yes.

DXVK

Tip

DXVK can yield a significant performance boost, though can also cause visual artifacting and increased memory use. If crashing frequently, REMOVE d3d9.dll and dxvk.conf from the Uranium Fever > Stock Game > New Vegas folder. To avoid crashes, AMD users who REMOVE DXVK will NEED to downgrade their graphics card drivers to Version 23.40.33.03. This can be accomplished by first running the AMD Cleanup Utility.

Warning

ONLY follow these steps if your game crashes before fully booting up.

  • MOST users will not have to follow these instructions. The most updated version of DXVK has already been pre-installed by default in Uranium Fever. Those with older graphics cards (no vulkan, or Intel iGPU) should follow these instructions if unable to launch the game:
    • Intel iGPU users:
      • Navigate to the Uranium Fever > DXVK folder.
      • Move the d3d9.dll and dxvk.conf from the DXVK 1.10.1 folder into the game's Root folder at C\Modding\Uranium Fever\Stock Game\Fallout New Vegas.
    • Vulkan-less GPU users:
      • Navigate to the Uranium Fever > DXVK folder.
      • Move the d3d9.dll and dxvk.conf from the 1.10.3 folder into the game's Root folder at C\Modding\Uranium Fever\Stock Game\Fallout New Vegas.

Disabling DXVK Cache Storage

Tip

DXVK Cache growth is known to cause memory related issues. This process prevents DXVK from creating a cache.

  • Press the windows button.
  • Type Env in the search bar, and click Edit the system environmental variables that pops up.
  • Click Environmental Variables.
  • Click New under User variables for USER NAME.
  • Type DXVK_STATE_CACHE into the Variable name.
  • Type disable into the Variable value.
  • Click OK.
  • Exit Environmental Variables.
  • Restart your computer for this to take effect.

RivaTuner Statistics Server (RTSS)

Tip

RTSS is an FPS limiter that can make the game feel much smoother. The theory behind this is that running at a stable and unchanging 60 FPS is less jarring to the user than fluctuating between 50 to 100 FPS rapidly. This also prevents the timescale desync that can occur if the FPS surpasses your monitors refresh rate.

  • Install and launch RTSS.
  • Open the System Tray (the triangle pointing upwards on the taskbar) and click the RTSS icon (an image of a computer screen) to open it.
  • Press the green Add button and select FalloutNV.exe in C:\Modding\Uranium Fever\Stock Game\Fallout New Vegas.
  • Set Application Detection Level to Low.
  • Set Framerate Limit to 59.95.
    • Uranium Fever is a graphically intense Wabbajack list. Some users may be able to set higher Framerate Limits, though ensure your Framerate Limit is > 0.05 LOWER than your monitors refresh rate.
  • Enter settings using the Setup button.
  • Scroll down and enable Passive Waiting.
  • Set Framerate Limiter to Front Edge Sync.'
  • Optionally enable On-Screen Display Support and use the X,Y Coordinate Buttons at the bottom to adjust On-Screen FPS display location.
  • Minimize RTSS back to the System Tray.

Warning

RTSS can only be connected to a single instance of FalloutNV.exe at a time. This means that if you have it connected to a different modded installation of Fallout New Vegas, you need to delete that profile in RTSS and create a new profile.

Performance Profile

Tip

This is an OPTIONAL step for those with weaker computers. If you do not get poor performance in game, please DO NOT follow this step.

Use the Performance Profile for better performance in exchange for worse visuals. This profile disables Real Time Reflections New Vegas Reloaded, and associated mods.

  • In MO2, select Uranium Fever from the large dropdown list in the top middle, then click the Uranium Fever Performance Profile.

Launching The Game

  • The game CANNOT be launched outside of MO2. Launching from Steam or GOG WILL NOT launch the modded game.
  • In MO2, select Uranium Fever from the dropdown list in the top right, then click run.

Cleaning Up

Tip

This is an OPTIONAL step to remove unneeded files from your computer. This will make the updating or reinstalling process take longer, as these files will need to be re-downloaded.

  • Confirm that the game launches and runs appropriately before following this step.
  • Navigate to C\Modding\Uranium Fever\downloads.
  • Delete the downloads folder.

Updating Uranium Fever

  • Reinstall the list from the Wabbajack tool and enable the Overwrite Installation checkbox.

FAQ

Expand
  • Crashing - I am crashing, what can I do to fix it?
    • Post your crashlog (found in the Uranium Fever > Stock Game > Crash Logs folder) in the Uranium Fever Support channel on discord (link provided above).
  • Failed and Slow Nexus Downloads - Why are all of my downloads so slow, and eventually failing?
    • You failed to connect your nexus account to your wabbajack. Open the settings cogwheel in Wabbajack and log into your Nexus account.
  • First Time Playing - Is the list appropriate for a person who has never played Fallout before?
    • Yes. This list is appropriate for anyone who wants a robust, hardcore gaming experience.
  • Keybinds - How do I find Uranium Fever's Keybinds?
    • Press K in the pause menu.
  • Manual Installs - Why do I have to manually install TTW, NVR, and Stash Organizer?
    • Modpub does not allow automated wabbajack downloading. We apologize for this inconvenience..
  • Manual Installs - Why do I have to click to install Vanilla UI + and Vanilla UI Extension?
    • The auto download feature on the moddb website is extremely unreliable, requiring this step to be manual.
  • Other Modded Instances - Can I keep my own modded setup if I play Uranium Fever?
    • Yes. Uranium Fever is entirely self contained through the use of a Stock Game folder. As long as you have the appropriate Fallout installations (Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, and all DLCs) the installation will still work and will not interfere with your other modded setup.
  • Ragdolls - Doesn't Ragdolls cause crashes?
    • No. The original version of ragdolls did cause crashes. The replacement plugin available in Death Throes is NOT prone to crashes.
  • Size - Why is the installation requirement so large?
    • When Wabbajack compiles and installs a list, it requires simultaneously drive presence of the initial download, the unedited file, and the file after it has been altered (in our case, most large texture packs have been appropriately compressed, optimized, and BSA packed). Many of these files are automatically removed following installation, though if desired, around 50gb of download files can also be deleted. Deleting these download files will make updating more arduous, however.
  • Start Location - Can I start in the Mojave Wasteland?
    • Yes. To start in the Mojave Wasteland, select "memory" when prompted "Is this now, or just a memory?" immediately after leaving the vault.
  • Stock Game - What is the Stock Game Folder and why do I need it?
    • It is an installation of Fallout New Vegas that has already had several root mods installed. It also has the benefit of not altering the main Fallout New Vegas installation. Uranium Fever is entirely self contained in this respect.
  • TTW Installation - Can I just move my TTW installation from a prior modlist into the TTW mod folder?
    • No. The TTW Installer edits Fallout New Vegas files in the Stock Game folder, this intentional to allow Uranium Fever to be entirely self contained.
  • Vortex - Can I install Uranium Fever with vortex?
    • No. Wabbajack is inherently incompatible with vortex.
