Note that if you are currently or have used 'Mod Organizer', MO uses its own copies of 'Fallout.ini' and 'FalloutPrefs.ini' (from when the MO profile was created), located in the 'steamappscommonFallout New VegasMod Organizerprofiles' folder. Otherwise you tend to lose track of which you actually changed if you have to 'verify files'. You have been warned! If you make any changes to any of the game INI files, remember to change it in all three files (after you have backups of the originals): the 'Fallout_default.ini' in the game root folder (which only gets used to recreate the other two when they are not found), and the two in 'C:UsersDocumentsMy GamesFalloutNV' folder ('FALLOUT.ini' and 'FalloutPrefs.ini'). See the Game INI files section of the 'FNV General Mod Use Advice' article for details.

The purpose is to be able to examine the old files for things you want to be able to replicate in the new versions of the same file.īefore you make any changes to the game INI files, please make backups and put them in a safe place. I usually just add to the extension: from '.ini' to '.ini.old'. (There might have been some unexpected changes.) Rename to anything you choose. If you have recently 'verified local files' or 're-installed' the game, try renaming both the INI files in the 'C:UsersDocumentsMy GamesFalloutNV' folder, and let the game rebuild them.
