bben46, thanks for your response in post #2. I had the same question as OP. I've played Skyrim recently for over 550 hours; I've used NMM for all my modding needs. I also wondered whether to use FOMM or NMM for F:NV. Skyrim also has the equivalent of FOMM, which I've never used. I've played F:NV for less than an hour a couple years ago, and have now decided to give it a serious go (kinda burned-out on Skyrim). So, I also had the "which mods should I use?" question. I've been looking through NMM's Top Files section to see which were the most heavily downloaded; I assume if a mod has 100,000+ downloads, I really, really should look at it. Of course, I'm using the F:NV version of Skyrim's SKSE, MCM, and TES5Edit. I've converted my Skyrim NMM setup to the new NMM 0.60 version, so using v 0.60 for F:NV should do well for me. Sidebar: F:NV no longer works for me, so I'll probably need to remove/re-install my Steam version. Sidebar #2: Love your comment "Sometimes I think we spend more time getting mods to work than we do playing the game - I know I do." I'm a modder for Kerbal Space Program. There are months when I don't play the game, because I'm neck-deep in modding.
