📋 About This Mod
Summary
Adjust various elements of the JSawyer mod to make it more compatible with other mods, and fix the various outstanding issues with the mod.
Power armor is now treated properly, allowing mods which depend on the power armor flags on armor (Project Nevada) to work correctly. At the same time, the carry weight bonuses from JSawyer will still be applied with the correct perks.
DR is added to all appropriate armors throughout all of the patches. Values consistent with the original mod have been used; and all armors, including armors that were cut from New Vegas, have been given consistent stats. This will improve compatibility with mods like Equipment Restoration Project.
I have removed the tweaks that allowed power armor to carry its own weight with training. It was a poorly implemented solution that required extensive compatibility patching. You will still be able to equip power armor without training, however you will get nothing for getting power armor training.
Fixes from YUP have been forwarded into the mod where appropriate. This should make the mod far more compatible, without requiring too many additional patches.

This mod fixes compatibility issues with JSawyer, a popular Fallout: New Vegas overhaul, and includes patches for Project Nevada, EVE, IMPACT, and Tale of Two Wastelands. It's for players who want to use JSawyer alongside other major mods without conflicts. Last updated in 2016, it remains a niche but useful patch.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Essential for anyone running JSawyer with Project Nevada, EVE, IMPACT, or TTW — this patch smooths over the rough edges
- Decent community trust with 190 endorsements and over 9,000 downloads
- Author actively addressed compatibility problems, which is more than most patch mods do
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016 — might not play nice with newer mods or game updates
- Only patches for specific mods; if you use other big overhauls, you're on your own
- No detailed changelog or install instructions provided, so you'll have to figure out load order yourself
For Fallout: New Vegas players who already use JSawyer and want to stack it with Project Nevada, EVE, IMPACT, or Tale of Two Wastelands. If you're running a heavily modded setup, this patch is a no-brainer. Skip if you don't use JSawyer or those specific mods — it won't do anything for you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place this patch after JSawyer and the mods it patches in your load order, typically near the end to ensure compatibility fixes apply.
- If you're using a mod manager like Mod Organizer 2, let it handle the file overwrites to avoid conflicts.
- Check the mod's comments section on Nexus for user-reported load order advice, since the description lacks specifics.
