Qwinn's Refined FNV Redesigned 3

The purpose of this project is to refine and improve upon Dracomies' Fallout New Vegas Redesigned 3 in terms of performance and compatibility, without making any (intentional) changes to its visual improvements.  I wanted to add a lot of really nice things about my opinion of the quality of those improvements here, but that's the single and only thing Dracomies won't let me do in regards to his mod.  Bah!

Anyway.  The mod has been in production for 8 years, since FNV was released, and it's never had a thorough cleaning.  Over the near-decade that Dracomies has spent working on it, the GECK added tons of wild edits (it does that), and there were even some obsolete values from before the Fallout Official Patches were applied back in 2010/2011 still lurking in the plugins.

In addition, NVR3 relied on both an ESM and an ESP plugin.  The main reason for the ESP is that when NPC Actor records are stored only in an ESM, you can get visual glitches such as what I call "whiteface", generally intense bright discoloration.  NVR3 also suggests setting bLoadFaceGenHeadEGTFiles=1 in the various INI files to further help with this problem, but that setting is an intense resource hog (it generates textures for every character on the fly while in game), which is a lot to ask of your modded setup on what is already a fairly unstable engine.  There is a better way to resolve this though, using the "Export Face Textures" feature in the GECK (thanks to Roy Batterian for making me aware of the proper method to deal with the problem).

In the sections below, when I refer to "the 3 main plugins", I am referring only to "New Vegas Redesigned 3.esm", "Gomorrah Redesigned v2.esp" and "Bitter Springs Redesigned.esp".

INSTALLATION NOTES:

1)  This mod (henceforth referred to as QRNVR3) is an add-on to NVR3, not a replacement.  You still need to install both FCO 2. 3. 1 and NVR3 updated to version 4. 4 as usual.  See the related article on this mod page for installation instructions if you don't already know how to install it correctly.

2)  If using MO2 (and why aren't you? It's awesome with FNV), place QRNVR3 below NVR3 in the installation order (left pane).  If using another mod manager, allow this mod to overwrite FCO and NVR3.  The only files that should actually be overwritten are plugins (ESMs and ESPs).

3)  In your plugin order, load the 3 main plugins after/below all your other ESM's, particularly after any ESM for which I've provided a compatibility patch.

4)  QRNVR3 contains an empty "New Vegas Redesigned 3.esp" plugin.  QRNVR3 makes NVR3 no longer require an ESP - all necessary records are in the 3 main plugin
