Welcome to SALVO.
What is it?
Similar to the HDTP mods by 4estGIMP for Fallout 4, SALVO is a scripted process and guide for seamlessly and correctly combining the most consistent set of retexture mods for New Vegas and TTW available. It also optimizes the textures - this will generally run better than even installing a single oversized texture pack like NMC Ultra.
You will need to download approximately 200 individual mods from Nexus. This guide will walk you through the entire list.
Basically, as much as I hate the word, it's a "remaster" for NV and TTW.
This Nexus page contains the needed scripts and a few bespoke textures for specific overwrites. You will need to follow this guide to make use of these scripts.
Once complete, this will provide you with a combined, downscaled (for stability and performance, 2k max size), compressed (again for stability and performance), and BSA packed all-in-one retexture for:
For compatibility reasons, it does not cover:
Once complete, this will be a "final" setup for many players. You will not need to install standalone retextures over top (with one exception, noted in the guide). However, since it is BSA packed like vanilla game files, you can install almost any other texture mods over top without causing issues. SALVO will essentially be a "new vanilla" setup that can be easily overwritten by other textures you may prefer.
It is also designed to maximize performance (as much as possible with modded textures) by integrating the following:
SALVO is currently hard incompatible with Wasteland Flora Overhaul (Vurts). Since WFO adds LOD to trees that don't actually have LOD, it breaks the Base Object Swapper function of Mojave Flora Project (included in SALVO). There also may be compatibility issues with Skinned Mesh Improvement Mod (SMIM), although I haven't tested it. This is based on a single report.
Why is it?
No single texture pack covers everything in NV/TTW. Beyond that, even covered items may be of inconsistent quality even within single packs. Most texture mods are also loose files, which degrade performance. Furthermore, many Nexus texture mods contain textures that are either oversized or uncompressed, which can cause further performance degradation and even crashes.
After over three years of testing and compiling by myself and thousands of users, this is intended to be a complete and consistent setup with as much automation as possible for the end user.
How do I use it?
Download the archive from this page, and then head over to the SALVO guide for the remainder of the instructions.
Support is handled via The Wasteland Supplemental discord server.
Screenshots on this mod page also use my H2O NVR Preset, which is recommended, as well as some mods from the Add-ons section of the SALVO guide.
Requirements:
The linked guide will list and provide links for all required mods. It is intended for use with MO2, and all instructions will assume usage of MO2. I cannot offer support for Vortex. It is also assumed that you have followed either Viva New Vegas (NV) or The Best of Times (TTW) guides for a stable and correctly set up game.
Special thanks to all of these amazing people - and of course to all the amazing modders who have created so many wonderful things over the year. If your name isn't here, it's only because my brain sucks - thanks to EVERYONE who has tested and helped!
After downloading the mods from the guide, make sure to endorse them all!

It is also designed to maximize performance (as much as possible with modded textures) by integrating the following:
- Mesh fixes from the most prevalent fix mods
- Downscaling and compressing to more sane levels
- LOD additions and fixes per the VNV LOD guide
- BSA packing to minimize loading and stutters

Don't forget H2O (if you're into that sort of thing)!
