What's inside Wasteland Survival Guide

  1. Understand the Wasteland Survival Guide structure

    Wasteland Survival Guide is a modular modding guide, not a pre-packaged modlist. While sections should be completed sequentially, users can skip specific mods or entire sections. Regardless of which mods are installed, the 'Final Steps' section must be completed to ensure correct load ordering.
  2. Mod Manager requirements for Wasteland Survival Guide

    Wasteland Survival Guide is exclusively compatible with Mod Organizer 2 (MO2). The steps provided pertain specifically to MO2 features and are not compatible with Vortex or other mod managers. Support is only provided for MO2 users.
    Required Mod Manager: Mod Organizer 2 (MO2)
    Incompatible: Vortex
  3. Manage Titans of The New West 2.0 Compatibility

    Titans of The New West 2.0 provides a complete power armor overhaul. For compatibility patches, use 'Webb’s Titans of The New West Patch Emporium'. Note that patches for this mod and D.C. NPCs are provided on the main mod page.
  4. Organize LOD mods in Mod Organizer 2

    To keep LOD mods organized, create a dedicated separator in Mod Organizer 2 (MO2): right-click the empty space in the left pane, select 'Create separator', and name it 'LOD'.
  5. Install yUI - User Interface and ySI - Sorting Ycons

    yUI fixes various UI bugs and adds new features. ySI builds upon yUI to provide custom icons and advanced sorting logic for better inventory management. To use ySI, yUI must be installed first.

    • Main File: ySI - Sorting Icons
    • Main File: ySI - Assorted Fixes

  6. Organize Overhaul mods in Mod Organizer 2

    To keep the mod list organized, create a dedicated separator for overhaul mods in Mod Organizer 2 (MO2). Right-click the empty space in the left pane and select 'Create separator', then name it 'Overhauls'.
  7. Track mod changes in Wasteland Survival Guide Additions

    The Wasteland Survival Guide (WSG) Additions changelog tracks the evolution of optional mods and fixes. Key trends include the transfer of stable 'Additions' into the 'Main Guide' and the removal of redundant or outdated mods. Users should check the version history to determine if a specific mod was moved to the main guide or removed due to redundancy with other tools like Combat Enhancer Updated.
