Ophiucus68 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I'm an experienced FO4 player/modder just starting New Vegas. I'm curious as to what mods are best for gameplay/stability fixers, environment enhancers, character textures, etc. So far, I've found through an EOS video, "Fallout New Vegas Mods - How to Install Mods for Beginner's - (NVSE Modding Gameplay Guide (2021)": Visual Studio C++ Update: DirectX 4 GB Patcher Script Extender (NVSE) UIO Mod Configuration Menu Lstewieal's Tweaks JIP LN NVSE Plugin YUKICHIGAI Unofficial Patch YUP Unofficial Patch PLUS JonnyGuitar There are some on his suggested list I didn't use because the posts stated some mods were no longer functional. So, as I move on to face tweaks, textures, and other fun stuff, any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I would add New Vegas Anti Crash to that list, you may well have problems without it. Personally I would play the game as close to vanilla as you can get the first time around, experience the game how it was meant to be experienced before making changes.

Radioactivelad Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 JIP companions command & control is an all-time great. Character kit remake if you're inclined to fancier human npcs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliffSedge Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 The Viva New Vegas (VNV) Guide - https://vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com/intro.html - and the New Vegas Rebuilt (NVR) Guide - https://newvegasrebuilt.github.io/index.html - are quite thorough with anything you might need for a solid FNV game. There are a few others I like that I don't think are in either, but it's hard to tell, because the VNV guide includes around 120 mods, and the NVR guide has almost 500. NVAC - New Vegas Anti-Crash is conspicuously missing from both. Is it obsolete now? CASM - Automatic Save Manager. Defaults to autosaving every 5 minutes, so you don't have to use quicksave so often. Spice of Life - Variety of Armor and Clothing (accommodates Type 3 and Type 4 bodies). Novac Motel Radio Fix Better Bleed Me Dry AnhNVSE. Useful for other mods like MAPMO - Main and Pause Menu Overhauls, GLO - General Lighting Overhaul, and one I just found that might replace CASM for me: the Vault 13 Canteen Autosave SD Radiant Infinium. Adds job posting boards in various locations to add extra little side quests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[...] NVAC just tells the game to not crash, it does not fix anything, so you have to live with any side effects of game not crashing when it should have. So it will allows you to play with a bad conflicting mod list by preventing crashing till game is unplayable or save is corrupted beyond repair. On the other hand, it will prevent a correct set up to work flawlessly. That's why it's not recommended anymore in those guides. That said, if you plan to make a play-through with mods that are known to cause crash and have no fix, NVAC is a must CASM is replaced by fucntions found in Stevie's tweaks which is a must have. https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/66347 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laclongquan Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) Use the Save Manager script mod in Nexus to turn it on in Tweaks section, then change settings there as you saw fit, then uninstall that SM scripts. VOILA! It now work as you want without wasting a slot for SM script. At least, that's how I do it in TTW session. (max delay, and 3 autosaves, this mean it autosave whenever going through cells, and if running in a cell too long it autosave) Edited April 10 by laclongquan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
