Best mods without changing gameplay.

[kokono23]

I'm new to fallout NV, but I think it looks really outdated. I've already downloaded some texture mods and lighting mods, but it still feels kind of old.

Some mods I tried:

• FNV realistic wasteland lighting
• Nevada skies
• Electro-city
• EVE
• Fallout NV redesigned
• NMC's texture pack

 

Which mods do you recommend?

ENBs, or Director's chair for filering/effects of your views, really helps blend vanilla and HD retextures together if you already don't have textures for things.

There are plenty of character overhauls, like that on the files of the week section of the NV nexus atm, they really help to make NPCS looks more alive and less like a mannequin, you may also want to use body replacers, Type 3 is my preferred one but you are free to pick whichever you wish

 

There are PLENTY of weapon mods that are far too numerous to list, just look for what type of weapon you want, pistol, shotgun, rifle, assault rifle etc... and add those to your game, they add some more variety to the items found in the wasteland.

NV interiors is a great mod and adds more exploration to the game without changing any gameplay, best ran alongside "better new vegas" (which becomes even better if you have fallout 3 to extract things from, but there is a non fallout 3 version)

Better New Vegas adds more locations, and improves upon existing ones without affecting the game's overall layout too much (you won't find fiends outside of fiend territory kind of thing)

I don't play with that many mods on my NV as I'm more of a FO3 person really, so this is about as best I can help you on this subject.

Thanks for the list, will look into them.

I find Director's chair to be better than ENBs as it allows you to change to a bunch of presets on the fly, the only problem is the somewhat fiddly installation
