Fallout: New Vegas Buscadero Mod Pack Public Release

Buscadero: "Searcher" or "Seeker." 

This is the public release of a Fallout: New Vegas personal modding project that started roughly two years ago. I was initially inspired by the "Nolvus" project for Skyrim and decided to try my hand at the same type of Mod Pack using my initiative. 

This New Vegas Mod Pack contains over five hundred mods and two hundred and fifty plugins. It utilizes a packaged version of Mod Organizer 2 to deliver a modded game once uncompressed. There is a brief README text file that details the 10 steps for installation. It requires a legal Steam copy of Fallout: New Vegas and all of its DLC. It does not contain the necessary files for it to be played illegally. 

I have attempted to stay true to the themes, narratives, and aesthetics of vanilla Fallout: New Vegas while enhancing the visual fidelity and providing modern quality-of-life features. This Mod Pack does not contain any additional gratuitous content outside the scope of the Vanilla experience. There is no nudity, explicit sexual content, or content I would deem as beyond "Weird Wasteland" wackiness. 

There are new weapons, armor, and items. New quests, adventures, and fully featured companions. Wherever possible a new texture, mesh, or animation has been used to modify the visuals. Post-processing effects, A light Reshade, and full visual and gameplay reconfigurability are available and can be tweaked to any individual's liking. 

This has been and will remain a project of passion. I have decided to announce and publish this Mod Pack anonymously and with no expectation or desire for financial compensation. Fallout belongs to Zenimax/Bethesda and the mods, tools, fixes, and features all belong to their respective creators. I know Vortex Collections and Wabbajack Lists exist, but on a technical level, I was unable to deliver my desired goals with those tools. I have made individual edits and compatibility possible between disparate mods via the use of the Fallout: New Vegas Editor. I also believe this method of delivery is more effective and less difficult for players less experienced in using extensive mod lists. Installation is a matter of extracting and overwriting and using Mod Organizer 2 to direct itself to the correct file paths. 

I hope you enjoy this labor of love for one of the greatest 3D RPGs of all time. New Vegas awaits. Let it swing, baby!

We've apparently invented an artificial stone that, when cut, functions as a kind of Super Asbestos.

So, you know, watch out for that.

"Based on data gleaned from the nearly 10 million military dependents it insures, the U.S. Department of Defense has repeatedly called the evidence supporting ABA “weak,” noting there is no research to determine whether the small number of participants who show improvement — 15% — do so because of treatment or simply because a child has matured. After a year of the therapy, the department reported to Congress in 2019, 76% of 16,000 participating autistic children saw no change, and 9% worsened."

I can confirm that the process of learning to use a prosthetic hand is extremely similar to learning to use a knife or a car. Both go very quickly from 'object I'm manipulating' to 'thing I'm doing with my body'. Like, it's exactly the same. Adjusting to the added bulk of a new hand is pretty similar to the added bulk of gloves or a helmet, and it changes the way I relate to the world around me the same way a car or a hammer changes the scale I use to think about distance or force.

a story with that cyberpunk theme of “are you really human if you modify your body to gain power“, except the body modification is just strength training.

So, you actually CAN sometimes tell if your microwave has a real popcorn button or not. If you press it and immediately get a timer, it's fake. If you press it and it takes a while to display a time, or it never displays one, it's probably a real one.

Also, many modern microwaves will use a humidity sensor and/or a microphone. Some of them will literally count the seconds between pops, like the bags usually say to. This is actually more accurate than the humidity sensors, because that can depend a lot on things like what direction the bag is facing when it pops open.

And yeah, the popcorn guys say "don't use the fucking popcorn button" and "this is a suggestion, microwaves vary" because they rightfully don't trust the microwave guys to do their fucking jobs.

what does it say about us as a culture that most of our microwaves have a dedicated popcorn button

Also, it would make a lot more sense for fruit eaters to tolerate and enjoy alcohol. It's not too uncommon to find a bunch of birds hanging around a tree, eating berries off the ground that have fermented.

Cats can sometimes have a weird cross-wiring between meat and yeast flavors, though. This is why some of them go apeshit for bread. Maybe they're picking up on that in alcohol? It's a long shot, but it's all I can think of.

Diesel really needs to understand that just because I open a can doesn't mean there's cat food inside

one of the things I cherish about Dungeon Meshi is how loving and respectful Ryoko Kui is towards her characters with bigger body frames and/or characters who weigh more.

They're presented as beautiful and normal, without ever crossing over into fetishization. It makes me feel so hopeful that representation and acceptance of fat people and fat characters is possible <3

I might think somebody shouldn't be allowed to be a person anymore, but I DEFINITELY don't think any individual or institution should be able to make that call.

"pasta only fills you up with empty calories" have you considered that it also fills me with love

[cyborg-alchemist]

Someone I know not well enough to voice my opinion on the subject said something like why didn’t God make potatoes a low-calorie food so I am here to say: God made them like that because their nutrition density IS what makes them healthy. By God I mean Andean agricultural technicians. Potato is healthy BECAUSE potato holds calories and vitamins. Do not malign potato

Some of you don't have firm principles that transcend ideology, and it shows.
