If your machine runs skyrim fully loaded with mods then it 'should' run FNV without any problems. I haven't used all of the mods on your list but I can see somewhere you may need to take care;

 

 

Willow follower

 

 

Are all going to either do stuff to the the fem body, or require things of it. Except Willow who I pretty sure is self-contained but then you want to do the stuff like Kristina's closet...

 

Willow is self contained, she has her own race and does not change any of the vanilla races. Like Vilja for Skyrim/Oblivion she is done correctly for maximum compatibility.

 

@OP, treat FNV like you do Skyrim when it comes to picking and choosing mods. Check for compatibility between each one and install like you do Skyrim mods. There is one huge difference and that is hair and face mods like eyelashes or hairs. they have to be added to the races for use so the last one in the load order is the only one that will work. Custom races that do the beautification for followers or yourself are fine and wont overwrite each other if they do not include the vanilla races.

 

I also suggest getting and using the Fallout Mod manager, atleast to do archive invalidation in a quick and easy step. hit the Tools menu and make sure it is checked. start the game up and when you get to the menu you can exit. It is also a good simple manager for both fallout games.

Thx everybody for the suggestions! :D but never really figured out BOSS when I used skyrim... Can anyone explain it? Also open to more mod suggestions

Going to try FOMM tomorow. Will it work with all mods? Except like nvse and stuff like that of course

Unless the description says it wont work with it then they will.
