General
What is TTW?
Tale of Two Wastelands is a total conversion project that seamlessly merges Fallout 3 and its DLC into Fallout: New Vegas, allowing both games to be played in a single playthrough. It upgrades Fallout 3's mechanics to those of FNV, while balancing both games to feel like you're playing one full game (instead of two different games using the same character).
New Vegas mechanics like companion wheel, companion perks, weapon mods, crafting, recipes, harvestable plants, and poisons have been added to the DC wasteland items, NPCs, and world.
TTW also restores some cut content, fixes hundreds of thousands of bugs, add some items, changes the level cap from level 50 to 60, alters the FO3 bobbleheads to give mini perks (since it's already too easy to max SPECIAL and Skills in TTW), and more.
TTW isn't just FO3 in FNV. It has become a unique game, with it's own balance, fixes, changes, additions and other unique things that differentiates it from both FO3 and FNV.
What mods work with TTW?
As TTW is a Total Conversion for Fallout: New Vegas, many FNV mods will work with TTW. However, you still want to look for explicit compatibility notes with TTW. In the case of Fallout 3 mods, it largely depends:
- Mods that reuse content, delete it, or change shared records/scripts may not be compatible. If that's the case, you can convert them as covered in the TTW Mod Conversion Package and Guidelines page.
- Texture mods are usually safe to use.
- Most mesh replacements will revert TTW fixes.
There are many mods that are known to be incompatible with TTW:
- Start by reading the list of mods to avoid.
- Mod or patches made before the release of TTW 3.3 (DD/MM/YY 5/3/22) will most likely not work.
- Yukichigai Unofficial Patch, TTW includes its own version called YUPTTW.
- Unofficial Patch NVSE Plus.
- HeroinZero's Weapon Fixes.
- Weapon Mesh Improvement Mod, TTW includes a superior version.
- Fallout New California, even when using patches.
- Interior Lighting Overhaul, use Simple Interior Lighting Overhaul + its TTW Patch instead.
- Major overhauls and GRA integration mods other than SawyerBatty TTW.
- Asurah Reanimation Pack.
- Classic Fallout Weapons - New Vegas, use Classic Fallout Weapons Remastered instead.
- Megaton Walkway, use The Megaton Walkway - TTW instead.
- EVE, has incompatible weapon meshes and animations.
- Point Lookout Reborn, use Point Lookout Reborn TTW instead.
- Weather mods not specifically made for TTW.
- Impact, its weapon edits are incompatible.
- Project Weaponry, has multiple incompatible meshes and all its iron sights are broken with TTW.
- Armor overhauls such as NCR Overhaul, Legion Overhauls, Book of Steel (without patches), and Spice of Life. STARS TTW is a notable exception.
- Increased Wasteland Spawns, causes massive save bloat and crashes.
- Mods that edit companions looks/inventory/whatever directly will most likely need patching.
What are the requirements and supported game versions?
Read the Introduction page.
Can I use an existing save?
Short answer: No.
You cannot use an existing Fallout: New Vegas save to play TTW. Even though a save might load, there are too many changes for it to work correctly. No support is provided if you do this anyway.
Saves made with previous versions of TTW will not work with 3.x. Too many changes were made to allow saves to be compatible.
What does the TTW Installer do?
Is there a TTW Discord server? How about social media?
Is Linux supported?
We cannot provide support for Linux as we don't use it, therefore we cannot troubleshoot issues specific to it.
Assuming you already know your way around Linux, here's some information that might help you:
- Use Proton (for Steam) or Wine TKG or Wine-Bottles fork & Lutris (for non-Steam).
- You need Gstreamer codec suite for the game music to play.
- Direct the game so it uses a portable MO2 instance (installed in the game prefix, made by either Steam or Lutris).
- Stock Wine won't work, since stock Wine has issues with the bundled FOMOD installer.
- The TTW installer should be run on a Windows machine or a VM, running it under Linux will take way longer.
- Install Nvidia drivers if you have an Nvidia GPU.
Will pirated copies work?
Piracy is not supported in any way, shape, or form. Any proof that you're using a pirated copy or piracy-related talk will lead to a ban from the ModdingLinked or Tale of Two Wastelands Discord servers.
Can I use New Vegas Muliplayer (NV:MP)?
We (ModdingLinked and TTW) will not provide any support for NVMP, redirect all questions to their server.
How do I update TTW? Is it safe?
- Delete TTW in MO2.
- If you used the BSA Decompressor for a normal FNV modlist (for example when following Viva New Vegas), then also verify the the game's files through your launcher.
- Reinstall TTW according to the guide.
- If you had to verify files for the reason stated above, also re-run the correct patcher.
Updating to a TTW version with a different major and minor number (the 1st and 2nd number in the version, respectively) requires a new game and a full review of the mods you are using, due to the massive amount of changes. Updating to a newer patch number (the third number in the version) is safe, but some of the new fixes might not apply retroactively.
If you are a TBoT user, all you need to do is update TTW itself, then look at the guide's changelog in case the modlist needs changes. It is also a good idea to run a batch update check through MO2 on all your mods to make sure they're up-to-date (right-click -> All Mods -> Check for updates).
Where are save files stored?
You may have noticed that when playing the game through MO2, your save files will not appear in the Documents folder like normal. This is because the guide makes use of profile-specific saves, a feature that redirects them to the profile folder of your instance. You can access all of them quickly by selecting the Saves tab of MO2 on the right pane.
Do not re-use vanilla saves or any save from different mod setups! A new character is required for a functional game.
Troubleshooting
You can ask for support in the ModdingLinked or TTW Discord server in case any of the advice below does not solve your problem.
Possible issues when running the TTW installer
-
BASS Init or XD3 Input
Make sure you have both games installed with all DLCs and in English, run them once, then restart the TTW installer. If the problem persists, verify both game's files. -
xdelta3.dll was not found
Extract the installer's archive before running it. -
Folder ... is not absolute for location
Remove quotes from the path you pasted into the TTW installer. If that doesn't work, try disabling the Windows folder protection (be aware that some versions of Windows will not allow to change this settings):- Start Menu,
- Settings,
- Search for "Folder Protection",
- Select "Controlled Folder Access",
- Turn off the setting.
-
The installer closed itself or threw an NTDLL error
Your CPU is most likely overheating:- Verify your cooling solution,
- Close or suspend any heavy process running along the TTW installer,
- As a last resort, you can make the TTW installer slower and less taxing by running it with the -threads:1 command line argument (through a shortcut).
The game crashes or nothing happens when starting it
This could happen for various reasons:
- Make sure the latest VC++ Redistributables are installed:
-
VC++ AIO
- Extract the archive and run the included install_all.bat as an administrator.
- 2015-2022 X64
- 2015-2022 X86
- Restart your PC.
-
VC++ AIO
-
Make sure that DirectX Redistributables are installed and functional:
- Download the DirectX Redists Remover Script and unpack it.
- Run the script as an administrator.
- Restart your PC.
- Download the DirectX Redists Web Installer and run it.
- Restart your PC.
The installer will try to install Bing Bar by default!
Remember to uncheck it on the second page. - Base Address Randomization is enabled. This has to be disabled for a modded game to work, you can do so by following these steps.
- The 4GB Patcher or the Epic Games Patcher weren't run. Follow the steps in the guide.
- xNVSE is not installed correctly or at all, make sure that you have all of the essential mods.
- You have incompatible mods lingering in your game's Data folder, this is why a clean slate is required.
- If you are using an AMD GPU, make sure that your drivers are updated to the latest version or that you are using DXVK according to the Performance Guide.
- If you are using a third-party antivirus, add exclusions to the folder Mod Organizer 2 is in. If that doesn't work, try disabling the antivirus completely and rely solely on Windows Defender (which should work fine once exclusions are present).
- Close or uninstall Overwolf.
- Most programs that ship with pre-built computers or laptops (such as OMEN Gaming Hub for HP OMEN systems) will be prone to issues and should be uninstalled or temporarily closed.
- Lock your FPS below 120 according to the Performance Guide.
- Update your graphics driver (either NVIDIA, AMD or Intel).
Pink main menu
This is caused by SMainMenuMovieIntro in your Fallout.ini being set to 0 instead of having to value at all. This is a known issue with Bethini, which has no utility once you are using the guide's Custom INI.
Missing meshes (red diamonds)
Make sure the Tale of Two Wastelands folder size is 17GB. If it's not, the installation has failed and has corrupted files. In such cases, delete the TTW mod you created in MO2 then reinstall it according to the guide. If that doesn't work, try verifying the game files (only Fallout: New Vegas) then re-running the 4GB Patcher.
How do I export my modlist and/or load order?
As MO2 is the only supported manager, instructions for other managers will not be provided:
- Click the folders list in the top of MO2.
- Click Open Profile Folder.
- The modlist will be written in modlist.txt (written in reverse order but you can reverse this easily with text editors) and the load order is in loadorder.txt.
Fallout 3's IDs aren't working in the console
Items, NPCs, Quests, and other things that only exist in Fallout 3 and it's DLCs need to change their index to the shift in the load order. Assuming you have the correct load order (forced by using a TTW instance in MO2) the new values are these:
- Fallout 3: Replace "00" with "06"
- Operation Anchorage: Replace the first two numbers with "07"
- The Pitt: Replace the first two numbers with "08"
- Broken Steel: Replace the first two numbers with "09"
- Point Lookout: Replace the first two numbers with "0A"
- Mothership Zeta: Replace the first two numbers with "0B"
GECK isn't detecting TTW or other mods
MO2 requires that you run most tools, including GECK, through its list of executables. This allows the programs to be run with VFS, loading all the mods alongside it.
There is no TTW option when creating an MO2 instance
Launch both games once, then restart the MO2 installer and try again.
How to reset your INIs
This process is done through MO2 because if you followed the guide you'll be using profile-specific INIs.
Is it safe to validate game files after I installed TTW?
Verifying game files will revert the Vorbis version and the executable patch. You can solve this by manually installing the updated Vorbis libraries and re-running the correct patcher based on your game version.
Plugin reported as incompatible during query
This is just a case of mods logging that they are not meant for the GECK if made for the game, or the other way around. Can be safely ignored.
Application load errors
- 5:0000065434: Make sure Steam is running. If that doesn't fix it, run your game directly through Steam once. You may also need to restart Steam and/or Mod Organizer 2. If that still doesn't work, place a copy of your Steam.exe (not a shortcut) into the game's Root folder.
- P:0000065432: This might be related to the PCR release of the game. Override the Steamapp ID with MO2's executable settings and set it to 22490.
Mod Organizer 2 is reporting that mods in the left pane have overwritten loose files
This is safe and intentional as long as your mods in the left pane of MO2 are in the exact order as they appear in the guide.
Why is the Utilities Checker reporting NVTF as missing even when it's installed correctly?
If restarting your PC doesn't work, try this:
- Download the DirectX Redists Remover Script and unpack it.
- Run the script as an administrator.
- Restart your PC.
- Download the DirectX Redists Web Installer and run it.
- Restart your PC again.
The installer will try to install Bing Bar by default!
Remember to uncheck it on the second page.
Bouncing NPCs or sped-up game
Lock your FPS below 120 according to the Performance Guide.
Black patches of terrain
Disable Improved Lighting Shaders in your Mod Organizer 2 modlist by unchecking its box. This issue seems to be hardware related but we do not know the specific cause at the moment.
Mod Organizer 2 refuses to open and creates a dump file at each try
-
VC++ AIO
- Extract the archive and run the included install_all.bat as an administrator.
- 2015-2022 X64
- 2015-2022 X86
- Restart your PC.
I do not get the option to pick which wasteland to start in!
Edit your Custom INI according to the guide's steps.
Alt-tabbing crashes the game or prevents it from opening again
This is due to using the NVTF texture modding preset, which requires DXVK in order to keep a functional Alt-Tab. Read the Performance Guide for more information and the steps to solve this.
Mods are downloading to Vortex instead of MO2
- Click the button at the top of MO2 to open the settings.
- Go to the Nexus tab, then click Associate with "Download with manager" links.
There is no "Tale of Two Wastelands" option in MO2's list of executables, only "New Vegas"
You created a FNV instance instead of a TTW one:
- Remove the New Vegas executable from the list.
- Click the folders list in the top of MO2.
- Select Open Instance Folder.
- Close MO2.
- Open ModOrganizer.ini in any text editor.
- Set the gameName (line 2) to TTW
- The Tale of Two Wastelands executable should appear in the list.
Configuration
How can I change FOV?
- Click the button at the top of MO2 and select INI Editor.
- Select the FalloutCustom.ini tab, which should already have all the guide's settings if you followed the Custom INI steps.
- Edit the 3 FOV settings to your liking, then save.
Do I need to regenerate LOD?
No, but you can generate vastly more detailed LOD (at a performance cost) by following the LOD guide.
What INI changes are required?
All the INI changes you'll need for stability and performance are already in the guide's Custom INI.
If you find some other settings you wish to tweak, add it to FalloutCustom.ini through MO2's INI Editor ( on the top of MO2).
Why does the guide not clean the DLC plugins?
TTW ships with cleaned and fixed plugins (far more than what automated xEdit cleaning would do).
Is Ultrawide supported?
Yes, but you'll have to take extra steps for it to work:
- Click the button at the top of MO2 and select INI Editor.
- Select the FalloutPrefs.ini tab.
- Change the following settings in the Display section:
iSize W = your screen width
iSize H = your screen height - Start the game then open the Tweaks menu in the settings.
- Filter for Ultrawide then enable the support tweak.
Gameplay
My character dies after activating Project Purity and Broken Steel DLC doesn't start. Why?
TTW (>=3.3) restored the vanilla Fallout 3 ending when playing in Hardcore Mode. This will kill the main character and end the game if they activate Project Purity themselves. To avoid this, send Sarah Lyons or one of your companions to do it instead, or turn off Hardcore Mode before turning Project Purity on.
How do I get to the Mojave and back to the Capital Wasteland?
Tale of Two Wastelands includes a large custom created Union Station, where you can take a train ride from DC to the Mojave. This train station is in a new DC worldspace called Columbus Circle. To get back to the Mojave, use the Union Station located in Freeside.
For detailed instructions on how to reach the train station, check the dedicated forum thread.
Do not use console commands or outdated mods to move between wastelands! TTW needs to set specific variables and quests for the game to do this properly. More info in ML's list of dogmas.
Doesn't adding FNV systems and mechanics to FO3 makes it harder and unbalanced?
Tale of Two Wastelands doesn't just slap Fallout: New Vegas things into Fallout 3 and calls it a day. It has seen more than 10 years of development, testing, tweaking and balancing. A lot of time was dedicated to make playing in TTW's Capital Wasteland (CW) to be a similar experience as to playing vanilla Fallout 3.
Fallout: New Vegas has a lot of different things and resources that don't exist in Fallout 3, this requires that TTW players use these available resources when playing the game. Usually, people who played Fallout 3 a lot and try TTW for the first time will think that TTW is harder than Fallout 3, this is because they are not used to (or know about) the new things added in FNV, so they don't use them.
One of the most widespread misconception that is seen around is that the CW Super Mutants in TTW use the same stats as the Mojave Wasteland ones, so they are much tougher and harder than the ones from Fallout 3. This is false, the Capital Wasteland Super Mutants in TTW do not use the same stats as the New Vegas ones, they were balanced to be similar to the ones in FO3 when taken into account the new resources given to the player in TTW.
This Super Mutant example is perfect to explain why TTW makes the CW feel harder for some players and feel similar to others when compared to Fallout 3. The CW Super Mutants in TTW are tougher than the ones from FO3, but that is because TTW adds things that make the player's character stronger and deadlier (more and stronger perks, more chems and consumables, stronger companions, way higher weapon damage, ammo types like AP, improved bobblehead effects, etc.), when the player takes advantage of some (or all) of these resources, Super Mutants will fall as fast or faster than they did in FO3. But if a player plays TTW only using the resources available in vanilla FO3, then of course the Super Mutants will be harder to deal with. TTW is a full package, everything in it is balanced to take advantage of the resources available to the players. If those resources are not used, then, of course, the game will be much harder.
TLDR: The CW in TTW is harder than it is in FO3 if resources/mechanics added by TTW are ignored, but pretty much the same (or easier) when those resources are used.
Does TTW change the game economy?
TTW 3.3 introduced full game economy balancing. This had to be done because FNV's economy was broken beyond repair. Actually Obsidian fixed it in a patch, but then on a later patch they broke it again because they built that patch on a version of the game before the economy balance patch was applied (or something similar).
This balancing was necessary because of how bad the economy was between the Fallout 3 side of TTW and the Fallout: New Vegas side of TTW. The super inflated prices of NV would mean that it was almost impossible to use vendor repairs on some equipment. Other issues were stuff like some weaker armors costing more than better ones, getting rich super fast just by looting stuff like a combat armor and selling it, the huge difference between FO3 equipment and FNV (including the most powerful stuff from FO3 being super cheap compared to some weak stuff from NV). And there's many other issues with the vanilla NV economy.
Why did we decided to change TTW to be more like FO3 economy instead or NV economy? For the reasons mentioned above and because as mentioned before, Obsidian did fix their Economy in a patch, but that fix got reverted (but not fully) for some reason. There are prices in later patches that are balanced around the "fixed" version, but other prices are not fixed, it's quite a mess. But it seems like the developers wanted their game economy fixed. It also prevents players from swimming in caps too quickly.
The TTW team understands that this is a "Love it" or "Hate it" change from previous versions, but it was more than necessary to make both wastelands feel like they are part of the same game and universe. Which is the main objective of TTW, that everything in it feels like it's all one giant game, instead of two games merged together.
Does TTW change when perks are awarded? Sometimes I get one perk every level, others I gain one perk every two levels.
Yes, starting in TTW version 3.3, perks rates were changed. Now the player gains one perk every level when playing without Hardcore Mode active, but only gains one perk every two levels when playing in Hardcore Mode.
What perks were given to DC companions?
- Butch - Tunnel Snakes Rule: Butch is a gang member at heart, and he does better with a sense of belonging. While Butch is in your party, you both gain +5% Damage if he is using the same weapon as you, and you both gain +5% DR if he is using the same armor as you, with an extra +5% DR if they are Tunnel Snake outfits.

- Carrot plant,
- Apple tree,
- Pear tree.
In addition, three new edible ingredients with harvestables were created out of existing meshes:
- Brain fungus,

What recipes are added?
Many recipes were added, partly due to the majority of recipes in NV using plants that would not make sense to grow outside the desert. New recipes were created using ingredients that could be found in the Capital Wasteland. In addition, because the NV engine has ammo types, the F3 Dart Gun has recipes to craft darts for each type of poison (not just the NV poisons, but also the 5 new poison types introduced by TTW). The F3 craftable items were turned in to the NV crafting system.
