Novac Enhanced is pretty good, but I ended up using the disable command on a lot of stuff when I used it the first time. I too didnt like the trees lol. Second time, using this to save the trouble.
Is the original Novac Enhanced actually required for the "Better Novac Even Better" version? All Novac Enhanced has is one .esp file with the same name as the one in your version.
Asalam. There's a comment downstairs where I already answered this question. Namely, for actually using the plugin, no strings attached? No. For actually downloading and endorsing the original author? Very much so, mandatory and technically you only have my blessing to use my file if you do so. Same goes for any other mods merged into this as of right now or in the future.
Okay, I just checked. The only incompatible part seem to be that two cars spawn "wrecked" into the added saloon. You can just click on them and disable them. Or if you really want those cars then yes, you can use that patch. Just rename my esp into Rocket Graveyard 1.1 like the esp that the patch requires and you're set.
You might also want to consider adding "Novac Motel Restoration" https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/62040
The nif is a modders resource as well so you can include it yourself in the DL; it just restores the original Novac mesh, a few cut exterior additions, and improves performance slightly by combining 3 meshes into 1. Compatible with Novac Enhanced afaik since it doesn't actually touch the Novac Motel meshes.
I just checked the mesh in the nifscope, besides water troughs, it looks the same. I know that a couple of wasteland uncut-themed mods restore the same troughs, so I don't see the point in adding something that might conflict with other mods right after I tried to make sure this version will have the leastest amount of conflicts. Plus, the meshes' page have a clear instruction on how to implement it in the game with no hustle for whoever wants it.
Salam Alaykum. If you asking what's the point of downloading the original file of Novac Enhanced, there's no technical point in it. It is, however, in good manners to download and upvote the original work if you downloading some kind of overhaul of it. That's what I meant when I said you'll NEED to download it. If someone feels like skipping that step, I of course can't stop them, but may they know that I do not welcome them to download my file either.

I haven't ever played NVB 2, only the third one. What is the incompatbility between them?

This is reminding me that I have to fix up my own Novac mod.
I love all of your mods, just like Rocket Yard they are simple but genius.
