Is there a mod yet to fix the glitchy Reputation system or even remove it from the game completely? I became vilified by Caesar's Legion while minding my own business walking across the desert looking for hollowed-out rocks and have become hated by putting on and removing Khan armor, losing two chips at a slot machine, exiting the Tops casino, putting on a hat and even just standing around my house. The guy at Cottonwood Cove turned on me right after telling me I had the Mark of Caesar.

I can only find http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34944 and it's not made to stop the random loss of Reputation that I'm experiencing.

Does anyone have the duffle bag mod that was on the nexus earlier? for some reason its been removed and its the sole backpack mod i need, i dont like the look of the others that are out and this one fits the game world perfectly, is it uploaded some other place? there is a screenshot on the stash and stuff mod page showing the character wearing a duffle bag.

i've even tried making my own using the one in game but i cant figure out for the life of me how to go about that, i got as far as nif exporting and then brickwall.

Perhaps it's a bit early for this request, at least until NVSE is released. I'd like to have an overhaul of the leveling system. Not just a mod that slows it down, but also one that doesn't reward you with XP for something/someone that one of your companions killed when you never fired a shot at it. That's been driving me nuts. http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10597

Can anyone recommend a replacer mesh/texture for the recon armor that makes it look less like Power Armor underwear?

And yes, I know it is power armor underwear, but it doesn't have to look so much like it.

I've never heard of or seen anything like that. You sure you don't have Boon as a companion and he's been shooting up the Caesar's peeps while you were looking at rocks and stuff?

You'd need to change it into a replacer yourself, but I think http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35130 looks totally badass.

I did have Boone as a companion but he was standing on Wait in my house in Goodsprings when all of the random faction drops happened. I tried shooting him in the head but he won't die. Vanilla companions svck :(

Edit:
@Showler: It's just a retex but from the pics http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=275 looks a bit better.

yeah that would be why they attacked you. because even if he's waiting somewhere, he still counts as being in your 'party', it's the same to the game. you don't have to kill boone to get rid of him too, just tell him you don't want him anymore and he will go back to Novac, where you can find him again later if you want to. if you do this, take him to novac before kicking him out of your party, otherwise it will take a loooooong time before he shows up there, or it is possible he won't show up at all (either dead or bug or whatever)

Im looking for something to make companions's armor and weapon dmg weaker. I find the game much easier after i repaired ED-E. He just runs in and pwns them all, i just finished the fight in the Bison Steve. If not for Ed-E i would have died so soon, and now i didnt even use stimpacks or drugs. I was expecting it to be still hard but do-able, now there were no tactics involved. Im also using Arwen's realism mod.

edit- hmm i tried it again and now Ed-E died, i dont think he likes being attacked by melee. Anyhow i still wanna configure my companions

He may count as being in my party but why does my standing with them drop because I change clothes, gamble or exit a building? Certainly Boone can't hold that much influence over them can he? I went from Neutral to Vilified simply by exiting The Tops casino. I reloaded and exited again and no faction drop. That's a game glitch that needs to be fixed and I hold no hope of Obsidian fixing it.

Is there a mod that will let you change the default companion fire location from the Lucky 38 to somewhere else? I like being able to assemble a posse, but don't particularly like being locked into that Presidential Suite. Something like it would also become more useful once more player home mods are released.

Here is what I am looking for, a mod that allows high level encounters to spawn at the start, and a mod that gets rid of the idea of items only spawning at a certain level. For example .50 cal weapons showing up around level 14.

Right now I tend to play with increased casino limits, so I usually am swimming in caps. This allows me to get the armor I like, and a few weapons to boot. The downside is the game still thinks spawning lower level enemies is a good idea for me. There are a couple mods that might do what I want, but not sure which ones people would recommend.

Main contenders that I can think of is pyschoelfs level stripping mod http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35088

and

blackcompany harder core pack http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34763

Downside to the latter is it seems to do alot more then I'd like, from messing with containers re-spawning to tweaking robotic spawns.

Anyhow anyone have experience with either of these mods? Or recommend a third option?

Well uh... is there any mod that adds to the loot list weapons like That Gun(.223 Pistol, was kinda common in F2) or the Plasma Caster(Same as the pistol, albeit on the Enclave grunts)?

I was trying to G.E.C.K.'em in, but I just can't figure it out without breaking something in the process.

Is there a set of textures that replace the slider tones/wrinkles to make the skin look more realistic (e.g. higher rez, detailed wrinkles/blemishes, no odd green tints)? It has to work for both males and females; I looked on Nexus but I'm not particularly interested in body mods or hairstyle packs.

Is there a mod that makes it so, in hardcoe mode, hunger and thirst grow at a slower rate when sleeping? I'm so sick of sleeping for 8-12 hours, and almost dying of dehydration...

The base armor for this works great. Thanks for the recommendation.

I'm looking for a couple of mods:

First, is there something that adds paths to all those mountains that are otherwise un-traversable and just annoying?

Also, is there a duffel bag that can hold more stuff than you'd otherwise be able to carry?

Thanks.

Is there a mod that gets rid of the blood splatter on screen when you get hit? I think there was for Fallout 3.

The hell? Even after binge drinking untill my liver is actively shouting at me to stop I'm not that dehydrated in the morning, granted the Mojave is a desert, but still.
