Extended Finish

Stewie Tweaks - VNV Extended INI

Preconfigured collection quality of life features, bugfixes, performance patches, and gameplay changes that fit the VNV Extended list.

Installation instructions

  • Stewie Tweaks - VNV Extended INI
    • Download the mod, then install it manually by pressing the MO2 archive button button at the top of MO2 and selecting the file you just downloaded.
  • Move the mod to the Bug Fixes separator, you can also uninstall the existing Stewie Tweaks - VNV INI when using the VNVE one.

Applying the Load Order

The final step is to apply the load order of installed plugins. The guide comes with a premade load order file, which ensures all mods are being loaded in correct order, with all conflicts accounted for.
  1. Download the VNV Load Order from here.
  2. In MO2, click the MO2 folders button at the top of MO2 and click Open Profile folder.
  3. Move loadorder.txt to the MO2 profile folder. You should get a popup message asking if you want to overwrite the existing file - click Yes.
  4. Press F5 while you are on MO2 without any menu open.

Your load order (found under the Plugins tab in the right pane of MO2) should match the loadorder.txt file you just downloaded. You can ignore any plugins from mods that you may have skipped, but the order the remaining plugins are in should match the file.

If that isn't the case, make sure to sort the load order by priority by clicking the Priority column header at the top.

Running the Game

Due to the way Mod Organizer 2 works, running programs through it is a requirement in order to load mods. This is done in the top-right corner of the manager, where the program to run is chosen. Here, select New Vegas.

For the sake of convenience you may also create a shortcut (right below the Run button) so that you won't have to manually open MO2 each time before playing.
Launching the game

Q: Aren't you supposed to launch through NVSE?

A: The 4GB Patcher and the Epic Games Patcher both allow the game's main executable to automatically load the script extender.

Refer to the FAQ section for more information and solutions to possible problems you might encounter at this stage of the guide.


You have now completed the entirety of Viva New Vegas and you can start playing. Have fun!

Want More?

Adding mods independently and without the help of a guide is only recommended after you have learned the required information and workflow. These range from general technicalities about the game, to solving conflicts with xEdit through The Method.

You can find sources for all this information and more in the Resources section. You should also be aware of the Tools and Mods to Avoid.

We may not provide support for setups that have added mods, especially if you went overboard!
