Your favorite (non-overhaul) mods?

I have recently started using Steam, and have discovered the greatness that is Steam sales. I'm waiting for New Vegas to go on sale so I can get my friend to buy it for me. I'm fairly sure that my computer can run it, even if not at high settings, and I was planning to do some light modding.

 

Now, I would love to get some of the amazing graphics and textures mods, but I highly doubt my computer could handle it. I'm looking more for mods adding new weapons or weapon modifications, armor, stuff like that. But, if there are some visual mods that don't have much effect on performance, I would be interested in those.

 

SO! What are some of your favorite mods for the great Fallout: New Vegas

Fallout New Vegas was on sale recently so it might be a while.

 

If you are careful and don't over do stuff, many graphics improvement mods can be done on fairly low-end PCs. It is just a case of not going nuts. Keeping the mods installed at any one time at a reasonable level. And using sound-trouble shooting methods for when things go wrong (when, not if).

 

As for what is good, look at the database and you can see what was endorsed and downloaded and settle on what to try. Worst case scenario is you backup your saved games and ten uninstall and delete everything and re-install. Steam and nexus are both generally fairly reliable and fast.

 

Remember asking how I like my mods is sort of like asking how I like my dinner. You might not prefer a well done steak with catsup, horseradish and habanero as steaksause. I might. Rather then asking individuals what they do and do not like, look at the menu (the Nexus database). Pick a few things to try for yourself and proceed from there. And ignore everyone who advises you to try the same mods they are using. They might have the worst taste ever. Looking at what lots of people like is much smarter.

I might be mistaken but you just missed Fallout on sale. Next sale should be around the american thanksgiving holiday, if it's not then it will be around Chirstmas time.

I highly recommend The Imaginator by MGE. So many visual things you can tinker with its just insane.

 

 

Also Yukichigai's Unofficial Patch, nothing but bugfixes. (I would recomend any mod this guy makes!) No extra features like Project Nevada or NVEC, which may bog down lower end systems.

 

There are a ton of UI mods I really like... iHUD, aHUD, Revelation (Fallout 1/2/Tactics style HUD.), Mod Configuration Menu, Weapon Mod Menu, and a cursor mod I can't remember the name of that adds the STALKER menu cursor and a laser dot target cursor.
