Everything in this add-on uses Dracomies' New Vegas Redesigned 3 and Qwinn's Refined FNV Redesigned 3 as its base. Dracomies' New Vegas Redesigned 3 has been made open source, and Qwinn's New Vegas Redesigned 3's permissions defer to Dracomies. If either party has a problem with this mod, please let me know.

decompress .bsa archives, which should reduce load times on most modern machines. Thanks hitman47101 see this for more info: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/65854
Version 2.0.0
NOTE: this version used to be called 1.5.0. Just changed the version number to be more in line with semantic versioning
Remove unique records in New Vegas Redesigned 3.esm in the categories of: Animated Object, Creature, Cell, Dialog Topic, Idle Animation, Ingestible, Light, Misc Item, Non-Player Characters (some), Package, Quest, Script, Sound, Static, Voice Type, Weapon, Worldspace. These records added Dracomies' various level design and environmental changes to the game that fall outside of directly modifying the textures and models of vanilla NPCs. They added worldspace/cell changes to various areas of the game, such as corpses, blood, custom NPCs, as well as various level design changes like making Boxcars look more injured. These may cause instability and save issues, especially when installed mid-save. New Vegas Redesigned 3.esm now only affects the outward appearance of the textures and models of vanilla NPCs. All other changes that were not already in the "Redesigned" .esps have been moved here.
fix: edit patch plugins to remove references to removed records and other errors.
fix: remove errors and increase compatability as a side effect of cleaning the master file detailed above
Remove "Optional plugins" section from the FOMOD
Reduce filesize by removing NPC assets
Version 1.4.4
add back Morales crying animation package that was removed in 1.4.3. Thanks evilzer2 for the fix
Version 1.4.3
Remove Morales package that was causing crashes in Camp McCarran Concourse (just the existence of this package even if not being used crashed the game somehow. I love Gamebyro)
Improved FOMOD instructions
Version 1.4.2
Merge the merged patch so only one .esp is needed
Version 1.4.1
Add merged patch
Version 1.4.0
decompress all records using Qolore7's FNVEdit script
fix: remove some effectively ITM or identical to YUP NPC records
fix: update the BNW override patch to remove the double beard problem
fix: update all updated patches (YUP, MR, UW)
update FOMOD to reflect updated content
forward some YUP changes
fix: remove vanilla override dialogue topics without breaking the added Atomic Wrangler prostitutes this time. These were there just for emotion changes that Dracomies made, but may cause conflicts. Let me know if this change causes errors!
remove some nonsensical inventory changes
remove the NVR3 override BNW option, use the scripted revoice BNW option for no conflicts and pretty much the same result
Version 1.3.13
fix: address the Gomorrah crashing bug by deleting "Gomorrah bottlecap" cell edits
Forward YUP changes
Version 1.3.12
fix: Ghost whiteface. Also reverted her inventory and AI packages to YUP/vanilla
regenerated textures
Version 1.3.11
fix: Chavez body texture bug (black body). I still recommend using a male body replacer
Version 1.3.10
fix: delete unnecessary dialogue topics and forward YUP/Asterra's dialogue fixes. This time I didn't break Atomic Wrangler prostitutes
fix: Fixed the BNW override NVR3R patch black chest texture problem by removing Chavez's armor
Version 1.3.9
fix: Craig Boone's face mesh no longer clips with Authority Glasses during dialogue. The problem is caused by FCO characters with high cheekbones. The FaceGen data was changed to be as close to Dracomies' design as possible while reducing clipping and overly angular cheekbones. This is the only non-Dracomies FaceGen change so far, and comparison images can be seen in the gallery. Unavoidable clipping still happens with the sunglasses that Vanilla gives him, so the decision to give him Authority Glasses stays. Boone wears rimmed sunglasses in official art, so the vanilla sunglasses kind of contradict canon anyways.
fix: this version or 1.3.8 gives Boxcars his old package back so that he looks wounded before talking to the player
Version 1.3.8
fix: FaceGen works now for the BNW patches. No more whiteface bug if using a BNW patch
Change Boone back to his QNVR3 appearance (younger). He now has Authority Sunglasses to avoid clipping with his eyebrows in idle (also makes sense as he is ex-NCR), but now the mesh clips with the sunglasses when he is talking. Investigating a fix
Version 1.3.7
fix: Stop FOMOD forcing you to install a BNW patch
fix: Remove TLD patch from FOMOD
Version 1.3.6
fix: Restore dialogue of Atomic Wrangler prostitutes
Add new Brave New World patches
Add .override files for NVR3 .bsa archives
Version 1.3.5
fix: Give Fantastic clothes and new sunglasses. He is no longer naked
fix: VFSFollowersGuards records. The Followers Guards at Old Mormon Fort now spawn in many different varieties, and female guards don't have beards. This should also fix the whiteface bug from vanilla for these NPCs. Make sure YUP is being overridden by the patch for this to work.
fix: Remove more useless record changes, remove more conflicts
Update Mojave Raiders patch
Update all "updated" patches: YUP, TLD, Uncut Wasteland
Update FOMOD
Version 1.3.4
FIX: Willow face is no longer pink if you're using her mod. No need to reinstall if you're not.
Version 1.3.3
FIX: Add additional textures to fix the blind "cataract" bug when using some shaders.
FIX: Add more missing textures (not sure if this does anything)
Add loose files under Optional Files for people using T4-NVR3 patch
Version 1.3.2
Minor esp changes
Version 1.3.1
FIX: Have female raiders use female textures from the T4 patch FNV Redesigned (raider female 1/raider female 6) thanks junkacc11
FIX: Add back armors to avoid GECK errors
Version 1.3.0
FIX: Raider races (pink faces) using the .esp from NVR 4.6
Remove leveled list and leveled npc changes
Remove Carmine from Ranger Milo as it is not a unique weapon (though he has a name for it)
Update FOMOD and file structure
Regenerate all face textures files using FaceGen Tint Fixes (make faces less green)
Add Brave New World patch to FOMOD
Add .override and .bsa files to override BNW Vanilla faces with NVR3R ones
Version 1.2.0
Replace old NPC face textures with freshly exported uncompressed textures
Update Boone and Johnson Nash to their NVR 4.6 appearances
Add most changes from 4.6, removing >100 conflicts in xEdit
Remove unnecessary records (ITM)
Remove AI modifications to Powder Gangers
Clean records of most edits that cause conflicts if they do not modify NPC appearances
Pack separate bsa files, leaving only loose files to overwrite FCO (FCO dependency is very annoying)
Modify dead followers to avoid conflicts
Added junkacc11's patch changes
Version 1.1.0
FIX: Correct bsa file name
FIX: Remove useless f10 files
FIX: Remove skeleton.nif from _male
Give Veronica and Cass their hats back to avoid conflicts with every other mod that changes them
FIX: Switch to using QRNVR3's esm as a base, removing a lot more conflicts
This mod is not actively being updated. For those who want changes, the work in this mod is released under open permissions for those wishing to use it for any reason, read the permissions for more info!
The purpose of this project is to refine and improve upon Dracomies’ Fallout New Vegas Redesigned 3 in terms of performance and compatibility, without making any (intentional) changes to its visual improvements.
Qwinn last updated QRNVR3 on April 6, 2019. Since then,
YUP and some other mods have been updated so that Qwinn’s patches are slightly outdated
Dracomies has made FNVR3 open source
Since QRNVR3’s permissions defer to Dracomies, this mod aims to continue and improve upon Qwinn’s work. This mod includes the improvements of QRNVR3 and more, reducing mod conflicts that break the game and increasing performance. The patches have also been updated as well.
This mod aims to be easy to install. Instead of releasing yet another .esp that you have to install on top of three other mods for NVR3 to work, I decided to utilize Dracomies’ gracious permissions and consolidate everything in to one mod.
Features and changes from older versions of NVR (NVR 3.6/NVR 4.3/QRNVR3)
Same mission: increase performance, fix bugs, reduce conflicts. For this reason, much work was done to make the mod easy to use while trying to preserve Dracomies' original vision.
For compatibility and stability, the scope of the mod is now limited to changing NPC faces, skins, and outfits. This meant removing many records and optional plugins (e.g. Bitter Springs Redesigned) that caused bugs and unexpected conflicts with other mods.
The goal is to make it just work.
This is not an exhaustive list. Read the changelog for more.
Fixes countless errors, bugs, and missing references.
Version 2.0.0 removes "extra" changes that came with the original master file. This includes outside worldspace/cell changes to various areas of the game, such as corpses, detail prop placements, blood, custom NPCs, as well as AI packages like making Boxcars look more injured.
Packs (almost) all assets in to bsa files to increase performance.
Removes some unused textures and leftover FCO assets.
Provides new freshly generated FaceGen texture files so that bLoadFaceGenHeadEGTFiles=0 can be set. Unlike QRNVR3, these are no longer compressed, which should remove compression artifacts from NPC faces. Also, they were generated using the .egt files from Mostly Fixed FaceGen tints, which removes the unnatural coloring from the green face "mold" problem.
Includes most sensible changes from NVR 4.3 that were not in QRNVR3. Noticeably, Veronica and Cass get their hats back, Boone's look is updated and Johnson Nash is black again. Under the hood, many changes to NPCs' inventories have been removed, further reducing conflicts.
Removes superfluous NPC edits, e.g. changes to combat styles and SPECIAL stats, further reducing conflicts
Provides up-to-date YUP, JSUE, and TLD patches (e.g. Cass is no longer vanilla with YUP installed)
Provides a Brave New World patch solution for those trying to use Revoice and Face Redesign version of BNW. Voice Only version should work out of the box.
