    What is the difference between Fallout: New Vegas and ‘the base game New Vegas’?

      I would assume “base game” means everything but the Downloadable Content.

      Also, it seems like it specifies that it can only convert models and plugins for Fallout 3, while it’s able to do the whole map of New Vegas (what I assume they mean by ‘base game’) but that doesn’t include NPCs, creatures, or quests. Just the map.

      Via Nexus Mods:

      About this mod

      Convert models and plugins made for Fallout 3 / Fallout: New Vegas to Fallout 4. The included script will convert the Fallout: New Vegas base game to Fallout 4 (currently excluding NPCs, creatures and other gameplay elements). The tools inside can convert any other model/plugin made for these games to make them compatible with Fallout 4.

      You’re reading the sentence wrong. Because it was written stupid. Maybe? I think?

      What I THINK they’re trying to say is that the models and plugins were ported from FO3 and FNV, but only New Vegas has the ability to be played at this time, albeit without quests or NPCs. So you can run around but not much else.

        “The script can convert most models and plugins from both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, as well as the base game of New Vegas, from their native game engine of Gamebryo. “

        It’s definitely written very stupid. The only thing that makes sense is that they are using different builds for FO: New Vegas with all DLC, and maybe the basic un-updated version of FO:New Vegas? Tbh I just assumed it was something that was helped with AI and it didn’t get caught by editing.

        Edit-looking at another comment that linked the Nexus page, it looks like they are taking about the base game of New Vegas being ported into the Fallout 4 engine, and the assets from both games. Worded terribly for sure.
