Suggestions for mods for FNV (Low End PC)

[lavahit]

Just had some basic necessary mods by ESO's modding video for beginners,

to imporve some perfomance, fix bugs and reduce crashes.

Here's the link and the mods are in his description:

Got those in nice and dandy. Now im in a limbo of not knowing what to pick, cause i have no idea if it will end up ruining the game's perfomance. (using Vortex currently, and idk how to removed mods without ruining everything up).

So any suggestions on what to get? I wish to have nicer face animations (god FNV faces are horrid), maybe some figures like sprinting (idk which mod to choose) etc. I generally want so quality of life improvements on that game.

In lieu of a sprinting mod, I usually go with Run Speed Glasses. It's probably less realistic, but it's well-worth being able to walk at a reasonable rate. Plus it shouldn't tax your system very much.

 

For performance, if you're not using the GOG version of the game, then you're missing out. The Steam versions of FO3 and FNV are terribly optimized for newer OSs and crash almost constantly for me.

 

Other good performance and stability mods are NV Stutter Remover, NV Tick Fix, and NV Heap Replacer.

 

If you want some new quests and storylines, I like the NV Bounties I, II, and III. They shouldn't be very resource heavy and add a few hours of fun bounty hunter quests.

 

If you liked Fallout 4's container preview, you might enjoy Loot Menu for FNV, pair that with something like MTUI and you should have a much nicer UI experience.

 

Personal note: I absolutely detest Vortex, I've tried it a number of times since it came out and always find it unusable. NMM was my go-to for years, but it crashes as much as the Steam version of FNV! MO2 is my definite favourite; tons of features, it handles Nexus links, and allows for portable instances if that's your thing.

 

Hope some of this helps!

Stay away from any HD texture mod. it would break your low end pc.

 

You might want to investigate some mod that remove litter texture. It make your game look cleaner, and it run lighter.

+++ Invisible litter, no skeleton.

 

If you have any spare resource, you might want to think about either increasing spawn number mods , or extra location mods.

My game enjoyment comes from quest and companion mods. A few of those should be okay on even low end machines. Adjust your graphics resolution to get the best fit for your machine.

Agreed! Most of those should be fine performance wise, so long as they're cleanly made. Some of them, the size alone might be a problem for low low enders. Lets be honest, NV is over a decade old, even low end rigs can probably handle quite a few mods, so long as they don't focus on high res graphics, huge world spaces, or a bunch of simultaneous scripts and references all at once.
