OK it seems that raising this question on these forums definetly was the right thing to do! If I add on the later replies, I just love the description of "running the lucky 38" so that will definetly get into my install list. I liked many of the other suggestions regarding Karma and the ultimatus, but I will probably not install the signature-weapon mod. I really like to switch between different weapons and that kind of specialization is not part of my play-style. I'm thinking about the ultimatus one, that will probably not see install along with too many of the reputation mods. I sort of want to get "caught" in what I'm comitting to in that part of the game without necessarily having to kill a bunch of people...

Ah thank you! Just the kind of answer I was looking for. I've thought about having darker nights and then include electro city, but I sort of like the not so dark nights. Hmmm on the other hand I really like how the night sky seem to look with darker nights, and electro city seems like a charming mod as well. I kind of thought that I pushed what was possible on the mod side so I wanted to avoid one more by just allowing regular nights, but I might do the dark+electric light combo now instead. It might also be fun to actually have a real use for all the night vision opportunities project nevada introduces. I haven't really heard mention of Project Reality in my search for mods, but everywhere I look Nevada Skies is mentioned. This requires investigation... Thanks for the link to darnified and the tip about FOOK compatibility as well, it seems my personal ultimate tale of the courier nears it's beginning... However, if there are any more opinions out there please do tell, it is a veritable djungle of mods out there and I do not want to enter the Mojave Desert blind! Edit: I forgot to mention that I probably want to update the textures since my computer can handle it. I want a texture mod and right now it leans towards NMCs texture pack. I would really like to hear if this conflicts with anything or if there is even better mods to update the textures in NV.

I played through Vanilla FNV some time ago and must say I loved it, loved the environments, the plot and the level of interaction. However, I didn't play any of the DLC and only used 1-2 fixes for things that stood out in the game. Now I want to play a complete experience that is the "ultimate playthrough" of New Vegas but I'm wondering if I should install any mods at all if I have all the DLC to look forward to? What I'm a bit wary of is the eventual bugs and glitches that can result by conflicts, but some of the mods sound so essential for the experience that I just feel they should be in the experience. Modlist: ALL released DLC Kind of what triggered my want to replay, and main concern that it will conflict with mods. Fallout Mod Manager Extended Scripts These mods seem essential for getting other mods to work Project Nevada Seems really cool as I want a bit of a challenge and adds some gameplay tweaks that I think will improve the game tremendously. Like many other mods though, I wonder if it is ill advised to install the mods now and perhaps rather wait until mods have balanced with the "lonesome road" DLC. Will install compatibility Patches for the DLC as well. FOOK Might be too much seeing as I already install Project Nevada, but I just really liked the idea of some of the fixes described in this mod. New Vegas Bounties I & II Seems like a no-brainer, and I want new and high quality content. Haven't heard much bad about this mod. World of Pain I want new content and this seems fun but I do not want to unbalance things too much. Still, there are patches for this but would like some comments just the same. MTUI I wanted Darnified but can't seem to find it so I guess this will have to do. Grimy Business Wear texture fix Better Binocular Zoom Lightstep ED-E Centred 3rd person camera Bottled water Intimidating presence is now a challenge perk Fixes that I feel makes sense. Gunslinger outfit NCR discontinued armor Ranger Combat Armor Factionless I really want the cool NCR-armors to be factionless, because they are so fitting but don't want to accidently alienate powder gangers or the legion Nevada skies Depth of field Extended Nevada Radio Civil Defense Radio Nudity-textures and Sexual innuendo I feel that these mods increase immersion, and should be there. Companion sandbox mode I might be pushing it with this, but I really liked the description. Extended weapon mod Think it was recommended by project nevada So this is my recipe for the ultimate New Vegas playthrough. I'm mainly wondering if it is advisable since I haven't played any of the DLC yet, but there seem to be patches availible to increase compatibility. I want a general sense of wether this is doable without expecting a lot of conflicts and glitches, but would not say no to specific mod-advice.
