ok

first, you need to locate your New Vegas folder

inside it, there is a Data folder

inside that folder should be BSA files for meshes, textures, sounds and such

 

now, when you download a mod, you need to check the contents of the folder you downloaded

it should have a plugin (esp or esm file, could be more than one) and folders such as meshes, textures and such

you need to extract the mod you have downloaded to a temporary folder, then just copy\paste (or cut\paste) the contents into your Data folder

 

now, seeing as you have no idea on how to install mods, i would assume that you don't know about FOMM, NVSE and Archive Invalidation

FOMM (or Fallout Mod Manager) you can find here

you need to install this, and run the game through this program

 

for NVSE, you can find it here

you will need it for some of the mods, and it is generally good to have it

 

as for Archive Invalidation, just do a search for the subject (you can even google it)

just make sure to do this, otherwise you will not see any new contents added by mods (models will appear as red boxes and such, lots of troubles that you don't want)

 

hope this helps :)
