I agree entirely with you. I'm just doing the MOD DANCE for the 500th time (installed FNV from Steam again - from scratch also and to be honest, trying to get the game to a level where I believe it a little more has actually now taken me to the point where I'm losing interest in playng it. I'm sure there are exhaustive list of recommendations of Mods on here, but I really don't want to be wading through loads of stuff to find the odd gem. Nexus is great with its endorsement charts, but I know for fact some brilliant Mods slip under the radar, for want of not being noticed all the time. The CTD's, incompatibles and downright messing about with modding angers me - but I love it too, as I love the (good) results - so go figure. I'm hoping the new Mod manager - just released will end my woes. I just got all my major mods on and it runs OK. I'm now just tentatively putting the cosmetic touches to the mods and I hope I'm done. I would think the change of a unified "Super Mod" would be too time consuming and as we move toward SkyRim, I expect modding for FNV to fall off a little. I've had FNV for a year having played all the series, plus Oblivion, and according to Steam I'm only 21% through the game - that's minus quest Mods etc as most of mt time i spent tweaking and subsequently ruining, my game. I'm a natural tweaker and adore the Mods and the work that goes into Mods like MOMOD, FOOK, Caliber, WMX and Type3, to name a few, so I can't help but trawl Nexus, hoping to find a little treasure that ramps up my experiences out there. As I tend to play late at night, it's all the better to have a good degree of immersion, but CTD's put paid to lengthy games so far. You made a good point and I'n merely aligning myself with you.

I have to add to the 'Skimpy' comments and say some of the 'Armors' make me smile and make me even more glad my own character doesn't have to face the Alpha-male Deathclaw, wearing a Minnie Mouse G-string! :-)

According to a post in the 4GB comments you...... I don't know how accurate that statement is because I have no memory issues with NV and don't use the 4GB thing. I hope you're right as I'm about to try it. I have a 6GB rig, with everything set to high (except water reflections etc) and lots of Mods. I have a framerate issue when Project Reality pours rain on me and I've had at least 2 CTD's following this. I also tried the 'Type 3 Body' but I think that's now preventing loading (although seperate issue) I'll let you know if the renaming 4GB to FNV.exe actually works. I hope so.....

I for one (being a musician, not a Modder) would be glad of a centralized Mod handler. My gameplay has been severely impeded by CTD's, FOMM crashing on update and all kinds of load-order related nightmares. I recently wondered if someone couldn't do something to help the simpletons out here in game land, now it seems someone has. I can roll through the lead breaks of Sultans of Swing no problem, but juggling a few files in a list appears to defeat me every time. I can't wait!!

That method does appear to work. Many thanks. ps. As this is the beginning of my modding efforts, the inability to even install GECK doesn't bode well! :-))
