I know that you NEED to do this to convert mods, and I THOUGHT I had a grip on how to do it, but it just doesn't seem to be working.

Can someone give me the dummies version of doing this, and what things I need to worry about updating in the GECK afterward?

get fo3edit, go to file header, change fallout3.esm to falloutnv.esm, your second question varies wildly with the type of mod. while you're in fo3edit, delete all Wasteland cells.

I use Wrye Flash to change my master file from FO3 to FO NV. Takes all of 2 seconds
Drop esp in data folder, open Wrye Flash, select plugin, go to box on the right and click the master file (Fallout3.esm), say OK to the pop up warning, click save and it's done. Master file changed to NV.

Don't know about the GECK part, though. I just use FOMM to get the form ID's of the items to give them to myself through the console ingame.

Miaximus has a chapter on how to migrate mods from Fo3 to FNV in the http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=38413 update, not sure if this is what your looking for but I hope it helps.

Thanks bcw!

Its pretty easy with either tool actually, Wyre or FNVEdit will both do the job in a snap.
