Total n00b starting New Vegas from scatch - which mods?

[slowalrus]

I wish to start New Vegas with all the DLC. I would like to know which mods will increase my enjoyment. I am mainly looking for HD texture packs, mesh fixes, quest/glitch fixes, increases in video quality (is there an ENB for New Vegas?). Also, what is the best mod manager?

 

I am not looking for game changers yet, I think I want to enjoy the normal game first.

 

Thanks in advance.

The best mod manager (in my opinion), if you're new, is the Nexus Mod Manager: http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/content/modmanager/ (IMPORTANT: Download this before the mods I suggested.)

 

As far as texture packs go, I like the Poco Bueno texture pack: http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=42028

 

For bug/glitch fixes, go with NV Error Corrections and Bug Fixes - Reduce CTD: http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=44204

 

Hope this helps a bit.

I've looked through the list looking for good mods, and here are a few

 

FOOK

NVEC (essentials only)

Mission Mojave

EVE (and the associated MM patch)

Project Nevada (core only)

 

You can also add the ElectroCity light mod and the Mojave Skies (forgot exact name)

 

As for mod manager, I use both FOMM and NMM. NMM is great for downloading, but there are a few things that really needs FOMM.
