Remember this mod? http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/47712/?
Mail Order Catalogs, a simple mod that allows you you order weapons and weapon mods through post. One of the most convenient ways of equipping yourself, especially with the expansion provided by WMX.
Unfortunately, the mod has been unsupported for a very long time and it still requires the individual, unmerged DLC .esp files, creating a lot of clutter in your load order (and wasting space to boot).
So, I decided to give creating a mod patch a try.
Long story short, I basically took the original Mail Order Catalogs WMX.esp file in FNV, reassigned the FormID List to refer to the WMX-DLCMerged.esp instead of the individual DLCs, and removed the need for the individual WMX DLC Patch.
Simple, and works exactly like it originally did when I tried it.
The only issue that came up when I first tried it was it couldn't resolve the mod index (you can tell when the game simply doesn't load and is stuck on the start screen before the menu even shows up). I'm not sure if that was just a freak glitch or if there's something I forgot to do.
If that does happen with you, you'll need to use FNVEdit and open up the .esp file and manually reindex to wherever your Weapons Mods Expanded.esp is in your load order.
For now, I have no plans on further expanding on the Mail Order Catalogs. This is merely a convenience patch.
In any case, enjoy.
DISCLAIMER
TO BE ABUNDANTLY CLEAR, YOU WILL STILL REQUIRE THE ORIGINAL MOD LINKED ABOVE. THIS IS JUST A REPLACEMENT FOR THE WMX PATCH.
I COULD NOT GET INTO CONTACT WITH THE ORIGINAL CREATOR TO GET PERMISSION, BUT I WILL REMOVE ON REQUEST
