Sasoritar Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) I am starting to play new vegas. I would like to know what mods you all recommend that will: 1) Make the game look prettier, new textures and messy texture clean up, but not kill performance. 2) Add guns and armor that look great but dont make the game easier (i will be playing on hardest difficulty and hard core mode) 3) Make the sky more beautiful and make the general atmosphere look and feel more immersive. 4) Add quality modder made quests 5) Add more sexy womens!!! 6) Add more monsters, but nothing rediculous or immersion breaking. 7) Fix bugs / broken quests / broken animations / crashes / etc.. 8) Add quality followers/companions. The main thing is, I tried to play through New Vegas twice before, only to quit because it got too easy and i lost the immersion feeling. I'd like it to look great and be challenging but i dont want a mod that makes it so difficult that when I am low levels some random modded monster comes out of nowhere and kills me in one hit. I dont mind these types of monsters, i just want to make sure all of these types of things are only happen in area and level appropriate situations - I like the fear that a death claw could be around the corner or in a cave, I just dont want some kind of scripted thing where some super death claw just spawns randomly behind me. Id really like the oppinions of seasoned players and modders! Thanks for your time! Edit: oh! and id like to add - I want some mods that add challenge but i do not want anything that will spawn a super monster in a town where it will start killing the npcs!

RitualBlack Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I don't play New Vegas but the EVE enhanced visuals mod is supposed to be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHazardous Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Here is a quick list of some of the best mods I've tried and tested and still use. Dropped from the list many armor and texture mods which are matter of opinion if they help immersion or not. Many of omitted and the ones still on the list have made the game more enjoyable for me. Still have many mods downloaded that I havent tested yet. Some of the mods in this list makes the game bit easier in certain aspects, like automatic assault rifles and such. But I think they make game more immersive and stuff.For immersion fellout and electro city are the must have mods for me. fellout makes nights really dark and electro city gives some much needed light here and there during those dark nights :) Also Imps timescale adjuster is nice cause those dark nights are now longer. Scary even. :P I've tweaked most of the mods more for my liking and made the game that way harder. For instance made some npc harder to kill like ghouls. Only headshots kills them fast. Well... hope the list helps. Some of these are only file names cause i dont remember all the "official" modnames....

Sasoritar Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 thanks for the list! going to add fellout and electrocity now. i like the ghouls headshot idea, how did you make it like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHazardous Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I used FNVEdit to tweak one of the mods I've installed.. I think it was Realistic Headshot mod. It was pretty easy to change records to existing mod that already changed those records.. I just added to them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
