Questions related to use of this tutorial:
This tutorial covers the how to create the Resource folder and install it. Support will only cover any issues related to these two issues.

 

Any questions related to issues downloading, extracting or obtaining these files should be directed to the threads host the resources. Please refrain to posting missing requirements here unless they have been added to Halstroms SCR thread. This tutorial is based off of his thread and any new or missing requirements need to be posted there first before being added to this tutorial.

 

FYI: This is the brief tutorial, general instructions and such. For the full step by step instructions download the PDF. It is very large and complete with pictures.

Installation of Sexout Common Resources (SCR):
This tutorial is for those individuals that can use tools such as FOMM and 7zip.
A Downloadable PDF for convenience.

 

Step 1: Prerequirements
Make sure you have all the SCR pre-requirements installed and setup properly.

• 7zip installed and configured. Required for this tutorial and useful for modding in general.
• FOMM installed. Preferably the version hosted here on LL.
• Fallout New Vegas
• Astymma’s BnB Body Extender FAFF NVG compatibility skeleton.
• New Vegas Script Extender (NVSE) Most current version available.
• NVSE Extender (Most current available)
• SexoutNG
• Sexout Common Resources (SCR) by Halstrom
• An Account with both Loverslab.com and Nexus.com to access the mods needed.
• Create a SCR Resources folder on the desktop or where you want to work.
• Create an SCR Archive folder to keep you from having to re-download the requirements again.

 

 

Step 2: Installation Prep
These requirements installed in this step aren't available in game without some mod accessing them. If you desire to access these outside of mods and gameplay my advice is to install SexoutStore so that you can access these armors and other items when you desire. Provided you have the caps. Keep in mind in order for SexoutStore or Halstrom’s Pregnancy mod to work properly you need all the resources installed.

 

General Concept:

• Download all the requirements to the SCR Archive folder.
• Extract the requirements to a convenient location then drag the textures, meshes and sound to the SCR Resources folder.
• Finally delete the extracted folder and move on to the next requirement.

It is advised to follow the list of requirements in order. Remove all esp's from these resources. There will be special instructions to rename files. This must be done in order to get a functional SCR Resource. If you do not follow the instructions properly many issues may occur. In some cases there will be two sets of records (clothes, toys etc) in the game which only one is controlled by SCR. Other cases the items won’t be available and giant red exclamation marks, pink skin, or floating head and hands will be the result. The worst effect of not following the instructions would be your game will crash when you start it. You have been warned!

Step 3: Verification of Installation
Check the SCR Resources folder and you should only have the following:

• Meshes
• Textures
• Sound
• SexoutCommonResources - VegasChokers

If you have anything else you did something wrong go back and figure out where you went wrong. If your folder has only the files I mention above and you are completely satisfied that you have everything ready move to Step 4. If you think you made mistake go back and repeat any or all the individual steps for the requirements.

 

Step 4: Installation Instructions
Create an FMOD that can be used when installing SCR.

• Open FOMM and select Fallout New Vegas.
• Click on Package manager.
• Click on the arrow pointing down on the “Add FOMod” button.
• Select Create from Folder. A window opens up select the SCR Resources Folder and click OK.
• Wait until done. This will take quite some time.
• When done you will see SCR Resources entry in the Package Manager. Select that and click the Activate button and wait some more.
• When done you can close the package manager and move on to Step 5 if you desire to add some of the available options from the mods mentioned above, if not move to Step 6.

Step 5: Optional Patches
(Optional) SCR Resources Patch
Used in case there are some options that are desired from the SCR Resources Tutorial above or files added in the future to SCR and SCR’s family of mods. You can also create a patch if you are concerned there might be a mistake or problem with your SCR Resources folder. Patches can be installed separately ( after the base SCR Resources folder of course) and the installation will prompt you for overwrite. After verification that it is what you desire you can later merge this into the SCR Resources folder and overwrite those files.
Benefits to creating a patch:

• Flexibility and expandability without risking the core base folder created by the above instructions.
• Ability to make multiple patches and numbering them or giving them a brief name at the end. For example SCR Resources Patch – Ghost Armor. This can make it easier to figure out which patch is which in the future. This also allows you to make smaller changes. My suggestion is make a patch for each mod or resource used or added.
• Patches can be added, removed, altered, and tested until just right.
• When finalized and determined as “perfect” the folder then can be merged with the SCR Resources folder created in the tutorial above. More info further down under “Merging SCR Resources Patch with SCR Resources folder”.

How to create the SCR Resources Patch:

• Create a folder named SCR Resources Patch
• Open up the mod desired and look for the Textures, Meshes, or Sounds desired.
• Might have to dig down onto the folders and move specific files over.
• Make sure you follow the instructions of the author on how to place these extra folders as some options means manually creating a file, placing a single file into a folder in a specific location etc.
• When finished return to Step 5 and import the new patch into the game and test.
• When reinstalling your mods remember that the SCR Resources folder needs to be installed before an SCR Resources Patches.

Merging SCR Resources Patch with SCR Resources folder
You have determined that the patches you have created are perfect and what you want to use going forward. You would desire to merge these together to easy the management of your mods in your manager.

• Grab the SCR Resources folder you created earlier.
• Make a copy. Might take a bit of time.
• Rename the old copy “SCR Resources Original” This is to designate it is what was started with. You might change your mind later and decide to go back and rework the files. It is always a good idea to have the same base files to start from that everybody else will have.
• Grab the files out of the SCR Resources Patch
