Going past DLC level cap : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sat Jul 21, 2012 6:26 pm

Does anyone know of a mod that allows you to go past the DLC level cap? Project Nevada only allows up to 50, and I'm guessing that's due to the DLC.

Project Nevada- Rebalanced Uncapped.

It'll allow the cap to be raised to 255. Why 255? That's the amount of levels the game can possibly allow. You can't go to 256 or above simply because the game codes your level as an 8-digit binary code. 255 is the maximum amount of unique 1 and 0 combinations for an 8-digit binary system. To go above 255 means you will need to completely overhaul how the game calculates levels.

Note, that to run this you will need...

Project Nevada proper- http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/40040
Mod Confiuguration Menu- http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/42507
New Vegas Script Extender (NVSE )- http://nvse.silverlock.org/
Microsoft Visual C++Redistributable Package- http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555
FOMM (http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/36901) or NVMM (http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/modmanager)

-EDIT-

Oh, looks like you have all the stuff relating to Project Nevada. You'll still need the Mod Configuration Menu, though.

Just installed that, and when I open up MCM to change the level settings the 'PN Rebalance' options are gone. With the mod disabled, they're where they should be. I've tried moving the mod to the end of my load order, right after the main PN rebalance ESP, and even before. When it's before the main ESP the option shows up in MCM, but obviously the extended level cap isn't in effect.

I also tried reinstalling MCM and merging the level mod into a bashed patch, and it didn't help. Any ideas?

Here's my load order BTW. I need to fix the bottom manually, but those mods shouldn't effect MCM.
