Hey Guys and Gals, After the downfall of my "Leviathan" as I took to naming my computer, I have since been working off of my friends Macbook (2008); One of my latest projects will ultimately find its way into New vegas, so I've been working to find some good performance enhancing mods for it (found it). However, regardless of how I alter my load order, etc, the mods are not recognized ingame. They show up in the launcher, and are selected, but once the game starts, they have absolutely no effect whatsoever. This includes blatantly obvious weapons placed in obvious spots, they too do not show up, nor is there any record of the files ingame. Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated, Nek

Fantastic! Well than, heres hoping i can get this new rig up and running before december.

$1500 will be my limit, my only requirements are dx11, and capable of rendering multiple high resolution objects on screen (for hardsurface modeling) Nvidia preferablu, but if ATI will blow my mind, feel free to put me on the path to enlightenment friend, thank you.

Back again, Yes, that is indeed my rig, and yes i am willing to build my own, however, i need high graphics power, and high processing power, im tired of waiting ten minutes to save out a 2048x map..

.Hi again, So I would be better off buying a new board, cpu, and ram...suggestions? My rig is an old xps 710 which ive heard has quite a few irreplaceable parts, I know it has quite a bit done to it (it runs everything I throw at it). Any recommendations would be wonderful. Thanks, Nek

Im located in the U.s.., I believe I forgot to mention the 550 seems to have been discontinued.

Hey all!, About four months ago, a drunk driver uprooted a powerline next to my home, setting my mobo on a slow and steady decline until complete hardware failure. Ive been unable so far to identify my motherboard, but I do know the motherboard was replaced, with as far as my memory goes, was an Nvidia NForce 550, does anybody know a current gen MOBO with the same specs? all the other hardware is fine and id like to just plug and play. Thanks all, Nek

Go for it, I don't really have any in game screens though, mostly WIPS.

Well darn, PES was the most extensive TES DB that I could download from on my phone....now we need more modders here.

PM sent.

Thanks all for contributing to the article! @ResolveThatChord: thanks for dropping that by, I used to be all about crazybump before I learned to bake, than my trial ran out and I replaced it with nDo2. @Vince: thanks for bringing those up, modo and lightwave have been eluding me for years and completely slipped my mind. Also thanks for bringing up nDO2, I personally think every artist should have a copy. @Meo: Thanks for clarifying that mate, my buddy at Mana Studios swears by Maya, when I sat down to use it I just couldn't wrap my head around the GUI and gave up after a simple hardsurface study. @_Echo: All these programs have 30day trials, those who are in college qualify for a huge discount, and I read somewhere that Autodesk supports a stimulus package for unemployed artists.
