Experience all the sights and sounds of fabulous New Vegas, brought to you by Vault-Tec, America's First Choice in Post Nuclear Simulation. Explore the treacherous wastes of the Great Southwest from the safety and comfort of your very own vault: Meet new people, confront terrifying creatures, and arm yourself with the latest high-tech weaponry as you make a name for yourself on a thrilling new journey across the Mojave wasteland.
Periodically saves the game in rotating slots, but not when its risky or annoying.
SafeAutoSave is a New Vegas mod that periodically saves the game in rotating slots, but not during conditions that may lead to crashes or annoying pauses. It’s extremely light on resources and it doesn’t save unless the following conditions are met:
By holding down the Num+ key your autosave will be expedited, ignoring the first two conditions. This is a better way to quicksave as it will use the rotating system. There’s a cooldown period to avoid accidental save spamming.
To provide a reliable save history, the rotation counter isn’t stored on the save but rather on the config file. This means it applies globally and therefore the oldest slot will always be overwritten regardless of which save was loaded.
Autosaves appear with the AUTO prefix and they do not affect the game’s manual save counter.
SafeAutoSave disables the game’s internal autosaving that has been reported as unreliable. I can’t confirm these reports, but I sure find it annoying to be getting a save notification whenever I open a front door.
SafeAutoSave requires the JIP-LN plugin. Load order doesn’t matter, so it’s best to load it as early as possible.
To configure SafeAutoSave, simply edit the Data\Config\SafeAutoSave.ini file according to its own instructions.

This mod was created from scratch, but was also inspired by Simple Saves by PushTheWinButton. Many thanks to the authors of NVSE and the JIP-LN plugin, especially Luthien Anarion for his INI functions.
