Built for handhelds

Targets Android phones and handhelds first. Desktop guides are useful, but mobile has different storage, driver, and testing problems.

DML first

Mod installation is written around Droid Mod Loader. PC tools are used only where they still make sense.

No LOD pass yet

LOD generation and large visual toolchains are separate projects. This guide keeps them out until they have a clean mobile path.

Before you start

Install New Vegas in shared storage

Do not put Fallout: New Vegas inside locked GameNative App Storage for this guide. DML needs practical access to the same game folder GameNative launches.

/storage/emulated/0/PcGames/Fallout New Vegas/

DML should deploy to the game Data folder, not the game root.

Game

Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition.

Platform

Android through GameNative or a similar Windows-container app.

Mod manager

Droid Mod Loader handles Android-side import, priority, deployment, plugin discovery, and plugin-file writing.

Downloads

Manual downloads from Nexus, ModDB, GitHub, or the listed mod page.

Vanilla check

  1. Launch Fallout: New Vegas in GameNative with no mods.
  2. Start a new game and reach Doc Mitchell's house.
  3. Make a manual save.
  4. Quit the game completely.
  5. Relaunch and load that save.

Guide pages

Setup

GameNative, shared storage, DML profile setup, BethINI Pie, and performance tracking.
