Hello there, i am Diddles and i am new here to this website. If you want to know how i stumbled upon this El dorado of new vegas, i began my adventure by watching new vegas  mod videos to help me get an idea of what mods i should use in my next playthrough. I soon stumbled upon a youtuber named NcrVet, who showcased many wonderful mods i never even knew existed.


I was captivated.

Curiosity got the better of me and i read the youtube comments section as if it were a bible searching for somebody who asked the very same question and there it was.A link to this website.I made an account and started having a gander at some of the public mods and knowing there was a el dorado of the el dorado of mods like these aswell as the great reputation i have seen from the youtube comments of members of this website enthralled me into attempting to become apart of this prestigious community. I do hope you will find me worthy of joining your ranks.



A little about myself:
I have been playing bethesda games since the release day of Skyrim and currently, i own Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout new vegas and Fallout 4(On xbox).
I just seem to be mindwashed by bethesda to buy everything they release(Yes even ESO) because it's mods are just some of the best and is where the most effort is put into the game.I dont know if i am allowed to link my steam account on this website so i wont for now but here is 2 pictures of avatars i mostly use.






The first avatar is a head of my Mount and blade character(One of my favourite games of all time)

Modding Experience
I have added mods to most games i have played but modding them myself would reduce that to 3 games.I firstly used the creation kit to add a follower into skyrim called Daleos but i forgot to upload it to workshop and now he is lost to the aeons of space. My next modding experience would be adding new nations to crusader kings 2.(Around 30 mods which each add 1 nation) and lastly i started making a large multiplayer mod for mount and blade of which i occasionally develop now and again.



But yeah, i do hope i can be apart of this community and truly experience Fallout new vegas modding at its peak!

*EDIT* Realised i cannot link anything for a week so i removed images and links, so ignore me talking about images XD

See you around.

Hey! Thanks for the quick and friendly replys, i already feel so welcome XD

As for questions, on the promotions link, it states that you can do so and so to start off "To start off, you may attempt to:", but what could somebody like me do further once his points are met?

@Diddles well if you mean what happens after you reach the rank of Colonial then well lets say that you can grab the mods and run away, dont recommend that, you can stay and try to get to the other ranks, there will always be many new things coming here, i have a goal for myself to reach the Hotliner rank which is 2000 posts i already have 500 so that means i am a Paragon.

Here are some of the ranks.

GFX Specialist - Graphic Effects Specialist - Site Design Crew
Hotliners - Phone is Ringing (2000 posts or more)
Purple Hearts - for members of Valor, with significant contributions to the community

There are many more out there, hope that is the answer you were looking for.

Well, i meant what more could i do to reach the colonial rank as that promotion link only mentions an introduction, which i dont think would be enough from what i am guessing.

Thanks for answering though

Right about that, to explain it in a short 5 way.

1. Dont Be A Dick
2. Make awesome and interesting to read posts, not like "thats cool" or "I Like it"
3. Make friends.
4. Get to know everyone or some of the good people.
5. Have fun.

So i would need to comment on other peoples welcoming messages and mod pages for example, welcoming other new people into the community and complimenting on peoples mods like that halo-out mod?

WELCOME diddles i likke your profile pic and i hope to see you around the community

Pretty much. Do all that, and you'll reach Colonial in no time. Also, you'll have full access to the chatbox at 30 posts. Feel free to stop by anytime, I'm always in there

That's a great start but get involved in some of the conversations here too, bring your own thoughts and opinions in and contribute. Keep an eye on when a last post was to avoid necroing threads.

I haven't seen anybody mention it yet, but it will take time to reach colonial. A month, maybe two, depending on how active you are and the quality of your posts. Just be patient. You seem very social so I think you'll do just fine here. I look forward to seeing you in the chatbox!
