Hey all - I just started a big NV playthrough with a bunch of mods, no issues save for 1 so far as I followed VNV+ to a t, then installed mods that only had compatibility patches with one another or ones that didn't change anything. Only issues so far is with the Salt Lake Stories mod where the quest giver for the mod is sitting in front of a fire that is missing a textures, and then some of the little caves for More Mojave have a texture of the old mountains covering them up but I can walk through them with no issue. I'd like to make sure I don't have any big problems though (crashes or significant issues with quests/content), so where would I be able to find help to just once over my list, get rid of any unnecessary junk, etc.? My biggest concern is the load order because I accidentally let LOOT organize it in MO2 and it honestly seemed to do ok? But nevertheless.
Here's the mod list and the load order, how'd I do?

SN. Tough as nails. Born in a poor family, SN learned to fight. SN always speaks his/her mind, no matter what. Is a bit naive and daydreamer. Became a prosecutor. Married VD. Some of his/her deeds:
--- Called the cops because he/she didn't see neighbors getting out of their house for two days.
--- Stole a military aircraft and battled enemy invaders(when his/her country was attacked).
---- Barged into a news set because he/she didn't like what the guests were saying about his/her family's history.
---- Walked 5 hours on foot to bring food to some poor people he/she met online. Turned out they were scammers. They later got arrested.
---- Called the cops because he/she thought the new neighbors were drug dealers since they were always carrying suitcases and were well-dressed. Turned out they were something worse: Terrorists planning to bomb a train.
---- During a flood, helped many people by using a boat.
SN became a prosecutor. Well respected. Loyal. Always upholding the law. Met VD and got married. Together, they now own multiple business ventures, including a famous chain of hotels and casinos.
Has a great sense of humor, but doesn't joke very often.
Note: This is the first in a series about my fictional, paracosm characters. By writing this down, it will help me better understand my characters and imagine/daydream better interactions... :)
Hello, My (57f) husband (64m) have been together for 15 years. We’ve been married for almost 4. It was something we talked about (getting married) for awhile and when my mom was diagnosed with cancer, we decided to get married before she passed. She passed two days after we got married. Last year for my birthday, we went to stay at a hotel/casino. We were having a great time, went back to the room after some drinks and hot tub time, I asked him something he responded with whatever. I HATE that word, I’ve told him so many times I hate it. Well, I told him again how much I hate that he uses that word, he said if you hate me so much maybe we should get divorced. I was shocked and floored. I packed up my stuff and said I’m leaving, you can come with me or stay here, I don’t care. We left together. Got home and the next day he said that he didn’t want to get divorced and I need to get over it. It’s been over a year and I can’t forget what he said. This year, he didn’t even get me a card for my birthday. I’ve been in therapy from losing my parents so close together and now therapy is mostly about us. I’ve tried and tried, he doesn’t do anything, no card, no flowers, no sign of any kind that he’s sorry. We recently were talking and I asked if he’d go to therapy he said no, I said to save this marriage you won’t go to therapy he said he didn’t know what he wanted. The next morning, I packed a bag and went to a friends for the weekend. When I was leaving, he was screaming at me and telling me I was running away. I returned after the weekend, we talked about nothing, went to bed that night and I asked if he decided what he wanted he said this right here. I can honestly say that I don’t know if I want to be here any longer, I just don’t know if I should leave. He tells me every day he loves me. He did that before he said divorce and every day after. I want to do what’s right, I love him, but how many chances does someone get to hurt you before you say it’s enough? Why can’t I “let it go”?
Below is a quick review on my trip on Wots, it was amazing and we loved it, the crew was the best and we met new friends along the way
Day1 - Saturday
Landed Gate C, MCO waited a good 40 minutes for our bags, called hotel for complimentary shuttle and waited 5 min at the curb, checked into courtyard Marriott in Orlando, walked to dinner at TGIF headed back to bed early.
Day2 – Sunday boarding day
Breakfast at hotel. Uber to port Canaveral $68 after tip. Handed bags to porter and walked onboard. Waited in line to book our 3-day dinner package. Picked up our free cups. Free bracelet. Solarium for lunch. Got drinks. Explored the ship, found front spot I solarium for sendoff. Went to room received 1 luggage at 3pm but state room attendant found our other bag for us. Waited in room till 5 PM dinner in MDR. Good food. Guest service to fix reservation time. Solarium pool and hot tub all night.
Day3 – Monday CocoCay
Woke up and looked out window to see Celebrity Beyond already docked (beautiful Ship). Windjammer breakfast. Packed bag and put on Bathing suits, walked to S beach. Swam to bar. Hung out on sandbar. Had lunch (birds were crazy). Headed to ship early (ship was empty). Solarium pools. Table Tennis. Showered watched send off from room with ship-to-ship horn battle. Dinner at 5 pasta night. Bought tampons in store ($8 for 10 cardboard tubes). Hung at park listened to jazz, 3 drinks at trellis bar. Attic for adult comedy. Bed
Day4 – Tuesday Sea Day
Boardwalk Cafe. Johny rockets for pancakes. Hangout aft jogging track to watch the waves. Walked to room. Solarium hot tubs pool. Lunch MDR. Walked Ship. Alpha Alpha Call. The Abyss. Room. Solarium for drinks and people watch. Nap. Jazz in park, 150 Central Park for Dinner. Food was delicious smaller portions FRIED CHEESECAKE FTW! Bed.
Day5 – Wednesday St. Thomas
Windjammer for quick Breakfast. Solarium to watch docking process. Windjammer for lunch. Crazy taxi to Magen’s Bay. Hit the water and made friends who gave us free zinc sunscreen and drinks, also there were small jelly fish larvae that stung us the entire time. (didn’t hurt more of an annoyance). Taxi back to the ship where we showered and hung out on the balcony. Formal night and we went to Chops Grill where I had the best Fillet of my life. Bed
For taxi it was $15 a person one way and $6 pp to get into the beach. Total spent $82 with tip.
Day6 – Thursday St. Maarten
Parking Café for Breakfast and Coffee. Drank Coffee in promenade for dock in.
Then we walked to the excursion. Excursion – Captain Bobs, 15 min walk from the boat where we checked in with Captain Brett I will no spoil the excursion as there are thousands of good reviews on trip adviser, I can’t say more than good things it was worth the money as it was the highlight of the entire trip.
Shower and nap. Mason jar for dinner (not worth is IMO as it tasted like boring BBQ) Aqua Show was inTENse, awesome show, Bed
Day7 – Friday Sea Day
Sleep in. Coffee and leftover for breakfast on private balcony. Solarium to hang. Walk around ship. Every pool and hot tub is max capacity. Hear we going to Turks for a crew member emergency, all we know is that they were flown to Miami. Hangout in room afternoon and received the dreadful disembark paperwork. Dinner at MDR. We wore out bathing suits under out clothes and hit slides then the Solarium Pool as because of dinner they were EMPTY. 365 ice show which was awesome and the best show we saw. Bed
Day8 – Saturday Sea Day
Woke up to watch sunrise at 605 AM. Then slept in. Breakfast at windjammer for the hash browns. Last Rubber Duck hunt as we found 4 total all week and re hid 2 for the kids. Walked the Ship. Taste of Royal at 150, Upset that it was not wonderland as was posted. Meals were underrated and the time in between courses was 20+ min long very boring. Also, wine pairing is extra $. Took over 2 hours.
Casino to check things out. Hang out on balcony then Dinner MDR, Casino and left happy with some winnings, pool rest of the night. Hit the solarium and we were the only 2 people in the pool with a full ship, met up with new friends we made to say goodbye. Back to room to pack.
Day9 – Sunday Disembark
Woke up 545. Both showered. Breakfast at Solarium Bistro, off the boat with our bags at 730. We chose to self-disembark to not deal with the hassle of finding out bags to walked straight to GO Port to bring us back to MCO
bus left and picked more people up at Carnival Mardigras, off to MCO. By the time we got through security at gate C and relax, it was 930… flight was delayed till 4..
Some Facts-
We did have the drink package and we always had a drink in our hands.
Yes, a lot of room time as it was a good way to get away from the crowds.
This was my second cruise but first as an adult.
A lot of Solarium time to stay away from the kids so I have no complaints about them as other people have.
Food everywhere I had Sorrento’s and hot dogs whenever we passed.
I miss that blue water so
Biggest Complaint would have to the older generation, They complaint the most and were the rudest people Ive ever seen.
for MDR we had Ivan and his assistant Agus (who was on his first week) and they were amazing and made us laugh everynight.
food was good everywhere, idk why everyone complains there when i dont have to cook it and its all handed to me.
5 stars across the board
I’ll be in town solo for a couple of days before my SO joins me and I’m thinking of ditching my fairly mid hotel where I’ll be solo for something nicer, given the dip in rates that Sunday. First time in LV for me, 40ish guy wanting a nice room, hopefully a view, general wow factor, not overly tacky, and a good pool scene that isn’t dominated by inescapable EDM. Bonus if there’s a celebration worthy restaurant on site, but the least important factor as well be out at night anyway, I’d imagine. (I don’t ask for much, ha). Probably won’t spend much time if any in the casino. The Fontainebleau caught my eye, being new, and the pool looks really impressive. Virgin looks great too, but I feel overwhelmed by options.
Same old stuff I'm sure you guys hear but could use some messages of strength and encouragement.
I'll share as much as possible without boring you too much.
I started gambling at the age of 11 on a game called habbo Hotel.. you could gamble your items vs someone else's items and I recall that's where it all started. This all progressed onto another game called runescape - same idea you vs someone for stuff - win great.. lose do it again until you have nothing.
Fast forward to 17 and a big horse racing event is on and I get my first paycheck at a new job... I it's a big thing to have a "punt" on this horse racing event so I went to a bookmakers on my own and selected a few random horses based on names I like + the jockeys name. The race happens and all mine lose, but the winner of the race shared the same name as me and I was totally gutted I didn't pick it. I end up stuck on roulette machines until I'm 20 years old losing 10s of thousands in the process until I needed signifcant surgery on an organ and ended up quitting for about 3 years.
I then find "Matched Betting" which is basically utilising free bets and offers from online casinos and bookies to slowly grind and earn some money... Well I was enjoying that until I decided to have a bet outside of the matched betting process before I know it I'm gambling £500 on tennis serves... fast forward maybe a year and a half and iv lost more than £30,000 maxed out every credit card broke up with my partner and was fucked... took some time out ot work to deal with the depression and stopped gambling from say 24/25 to 26/27 where it came back with a vengeance all paid off credit cards wiped all bank accounts wiped crypto I had saved wiped and even borrowed 5k because I " owed some bad people money " this was from my "ex" partner who I had a child with... anyway I had to fess up and tell her everything which killed me she never knew anything.
I took 3 months off work because I was utterly depressed and couldn't leave my flat... my "ex" helped me find the courage to return which I did and knuckled down. I ended up having my most successful year in sales ever due to the determination and crossed the 100k pre tax earnings which was huge. I move in with my ex we have a baby it's all good until I relapse again during covid... We move on I go without gambling up until last week.
Last week I lost £16,000 gambling on lootbox/crypto sites as iv banned myself from all bookmakers and casinos... I couldn't stop.my self I generally can't... it started with £200 I cashed put £400 then I'm back in and before I know it over the last week lost 16k and I cannot stop. I have 68k saved up and I know I'm just going to eat more into that.... I have two children now with my "Ex" who I am engaged to and own a house with now and I am expecting my 3rd child.. I really don't want to lose more I really don't... I just can't help myself.... iv zapped all motivation and buzz all drive and csnt bring myself to go to the gym I'm out of routine and know exactly where this ends up.
I just don't know how to stop until its all gone and in an odd way once it's all gone it's like a relief.
Please anyone in here any help will be great.
I feel like a lot of the things that worked in the Star Wars Hotel experience would be dope in a casino. Mainly the Dining experience and the performance experiences
I feel like you can keep the dinner show, themed cocktails and food. You can have this bright space themed environment in Casino format. Vegas already is a place where you kinda lose yourself in the spectacle of everything and there’s already this expected activity that you’re going to do. Also since the pretty spaceships are always evil you could make an evil guy run it. Like Jabba the Hutt. He seems like a casino kinda guy.(I am not a Star Wars fan maybe he’s not a casino kinda guy)
Disney would probably never go for it because it wouldn’t appeal to kids and that’s their target demographic for basically everything they do but I think you could easily charge stupid prices for a StarWars Casino Hotel and it would be a good experience
I think the for profit LARP they went for isn’t exactly feasible.
Edit: I do not mean repurposing the existing structure into a Casino. I mean Disney should use their massive amounts of money and make a Star Wars Themed Casino and Hotel in Vegas because it would be cool using some of the ideas from the StarCruiser. It would never happen but it would be cool in my opinion.
This was my experience staying at the El Cortez Hotel and Casino in Downtown Las Vegas and taking the standard shuttle from the downtown lot on days 1 and 2 (I didn't stay for day 3).
The room I stayed in felt surprisingly fresh. It also had a refrigerator, which was nice for keeping some cool drinks.
The walk from the hotel to the shuttle lot was a quick 5-minute walk.
There were no lines for the standard shuttles at the downtown lot on either night. On Friday night, my shuttle departed at 8:41 PM and arrived at 9:57 PM, for a total trip time of 76 minutes. There was a long backup of buses leading into the drop-off area, which caused a longer-than-expected trip time. On Saturday night, the shuttle departed at 8:37 PM and arrived at 9:30 PM, for a total trip time of 53 minutes. There was no backup the second night.
