We've most notably been making under the hood changes in the interest of fixing underlying code bugs that have been present for years, due to a lack of maintenance. We have no intentions of including any additional NVSE plugins as part of the xNVSE fork. Our prime directive is first and foremost, to allow for easier creation of extensions for the scripting engine, as well as providing the opportunity to further expand the current capabilities. NVSE's primary purpose has always been to enhance the scripting capabilities of the game. I caught up with the team who gave us a short summary of the project. This year, an entirely new group of New Vegas fans came together to update the - now 3 year old - script extender, with the blessing of the original creators. The xNVSE team consists of several well-known mod authors including lStewieAl, TrueCourierSix (c6), korri123 (Kormakur), carxt (karut), iranrmrf and jazzisparis (Sorry if I missed anyone!). From this point, NVSE was left functional but unfinished, with a few updates between 20 to add new features and enhancements. Originally released in 2010, it received regular updates until the release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in 2011, where the team's focus was then diverted to working on the Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE).


It was created by the Silverlock team and is based on the original code from their previous project, the Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE). In case you need a refresher, the New Vegas Script Extender- or NVSE for short - is a modder's resource that expands the scripting capabilities of Fallout: New Vegas. The New Vegas Script Extender (NVSE) has been updated for the first time since 2017 and marks the beginning of a community-led project to fix a lot of the long-standing bugs and quirks with this essential modding tool.
