this will be a simple no bullshit guide to installing TTW, some basic mods.
this will all be done on linux and assume you have the gog versions of the games with all dlc.
this also will not be a guide to replace, say, the best of times, because i'll assume you are a adept computer user, and again, that you aren't using windows. though windows has very little differences.
before you start the guide, run each of the games once to be sure all files are generated.
Mod Organizer is a tool we use to install mods, using a Virtual File System (aka VFS) to install mods without damaging our games installs, download the 7z from here
check out my linux gaming guide to install and configure wine if you have not (how the fuck did you install f3/fnv on linux without doing that?), then run the mo2 executable.
create a portable instance, it should detect your gog install, select ttw.
if it asks you where to keep the profile, put this in whatever location you want your mods
installed to, for example mine is in ~/Games/TTW.
disable FalloutNV_lang.esp on the plugins tab on the right side of MO2.
now go to the puzzle icon at the top of mo2 and open the ini editor, paste the following.

bUseThreadedAI=1
iNumHWThreads=2

once done, activate in mo2, boot the game with mo and test it out, TTW it self should be installed, note some audio might crackle, will be fixed later in the guide.

first we need to update the NVSE that came with ttw though, download nvse from here and then overwrite the files in your fallout new vegas installation with these.
download JIP ln from here, and make sure it overwrites TTW on the left pane, don't merge mods from this point on with TTW.
