I'm new to Fallout New Vegas - and to the Fallout series as well. I've become used to playing modded Bethesda games - so much so that I don't even plan on playing FNV vanilla. I'm starting a modding run using Esserbee's guide but, from my recent experience with Skyrim, I became convinced that Wrye Bash was the main thing to go with, contrary to the opinion of the majority. I'm over 100 hours into the most stable heavily modded Skyrim ever. Wrye Bash loads more quickly and is more straightforward. So I also want to try and follow Esserbee's guide with Wrye Flash. Has anyone here done it? Any suggestions? On a similar note, since BOSS is still recommended for Oblivion (despite the "loot being the new thing" quick answer), what's the status on the old "BOSS vs. LOOT" question, regarding FNV? And now... For something completely different! How do you make Wrye Flash install non-standard files or folders to the data folder? Some mods have a "config" folder with the mods' inis that doesn't get copied by wrye flash, so for the moment I've been manually copying the files that WF doesn't install. But that means those files or folders won't be tracked by the program, so I'll need to remember them if I ever want to uninstall those mods. Should I be using the latest Wrye Bash instead of Wrye Flash? Thanks in advance for your help!
