What's your favourite or must have mods for New Vegas?👀

THE ANSWER IS VERY VERY LONG BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF THEM BUT IM GLAD YOU ASKED 

im typing this after writing the whole thing and, im just sorry. but you did ask.

ill skip right over the dozens of retextures and bugfix patches which are important but theyre already at the top of their categories on the nexus

new vegas configurator is a neat tool thats basically expanded settings, i use it to dial everything to max just cause why not

PERFORMANCE:

NVTF  NVAC  heap replacer  occlusion overhaul  are lifesavers, talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, my pc shits do death and explodes without them

wasnt sure where to put this but NMC's Pre-Generated LOD goes a loooooong way to make the world look prettier, especially when looking around from an elevated position

lighting overhauls can make everything look breathtaking even in 2021 but ive had the worst luck w them bc they dont always work or cooperate and almost all require manual .ini file changes which isnt hard but it is a headache, i use:

realistic wasteland lighting  simple interior lighting overhaul  a little more lamplight  improved lighting shaders  simple street lights  and its  fix 

OVERHAULS:

last before we get to the actual fun stuff its time for the overhauls, WHICH ARE A NIGHTMARE BEYOND IMAGINATION AND ALL REQUIRE AND OVERWRITE EACH OTHER :) fdsfgdjhguzikrtuiweroghfjglhhgjgjsdkgfdg:

EVE  then  FCO then fco pink face fix  then  ncr overhaul beta (and its optional fixes) then  ncr overhaul distributed   then we are legion beta then NVR3 then NVR3 pink face fix then NVR3 gomorrah sound fix then quinns refined nvr3 then titans of the new west  these will almost all conflict w other mods, luckily vortex tells u exactly which files are the issue so u can easily judge which should take precedence and sometimes it wont even matter, also u will need to go into every fallout .ini file u can find both in the install directory and my documents and change bLoadFaceGenHeadEGTFiles=1

FUN STUFF PT1: cut content restoration

if you want to add lore friendly new stuff to the game you cant go wrong w cut content and pre-release restoration mods:

uncut wasteland  outside bets  moburma80′s buch of modular uncut mods  prerelease restored  simple open strip  lucky38 climate restored  lucky38 light redone  tops exterior restored  hoover ham jets restored 

FUN STUFF PT2: quality of life tweaks and minor visuals

vibe-based, these are my actual absolute faves bc they fit into the world seamlessly but do bring a huge breath of fresh air together

classic fallout UI  Pip-Boy 2000 Mk VI  enhanced camera  adobe buildings  Worthless Item Ownership Removal  Securitrons in CRT and Securitrons On Alert (dont ask how these two interact i set SOA to overwrite the CRT one but not all files r overwritten idk it looks cool)  animated containers  robobrain eyes  mr handy eyes  animated monorail  Animated Microfilm Machines  Animated Traffic Lights  windows of the mojave  Eddie Hears An Explosion  the living desert  lucky38 suite (the vanilla one sux ass)  classic supermutants  solid project  upgrades from the commonwealth (has a lot of stuff some of which i dont like but u can manually delete the files u dont want, dragbody has a LOT of very good looking cool stuff but the only place you can sometimes find it is r/modpiracy2)

& i didnt list them bc there are a lot but any mod that has “transparent glass“ in the title will make the game look more modern w minimal performance impact

PERSONAL PREF: combat difficulty

when i shoot smth in the face i damn well expect it to die, unless its a robot, then i expect it to NOT to die, these mods do that:

Realistic Weapons Damage  RWD Unofficial Update  Protectron Overhaul  Guns Don't Dismember  NPCs Can Miss

INTERMISSION:

some of the mods are not from the nexus or have been taken down and reuploaded to other sites but you can still use vortex to manage them youll just have to manually unpack them to the vortex staging folder

there are actually two more mods i love but that have been deleted from the nexus and not reuploaded anywhere: nv reanimated, securitron hires retexture, and vault 22 flora overhaul (tho there r other versions of the flora overhaul on the nexus i cant vouch for them i still use the original) :/

BUT WAIT, ITS NOT OVER YET

those were all the 100% lore friendly enhancements, now its time for NEW CONTENT QUESTS AND NEW LANDSFGHJSDKGKDFGDFKGKDFGH

all of these add MANY hours of playtime and new areas, i listed my faves but u should check out the mod authors profiles they got other good stuff

Salt Lake Stories  the classic fallout vibe is indescribable

The North Road Remastered  very cool adventure

Beyond Boulder Dome  oldie but goldie, van buren inspired

Autumn Leaves  very fun talking simulator w a lot of personality

Tales of New Reno  this is a link to ep1, there are more and they just keep getting better, save often tho w mods this big bugs r everywhere

someguy2000  basically everything this dude made is a guarantied fun time

|==========END===OF===FILE===========|

now u might me wondering how long it takes me to mod all this in and make sure it all works and what exactly it says about my mental health that i use remastering a 10yo game as some kind of bizarre coping mechan-
