Advice for creating a modded install

[Erenar]

Now I know this is personal opinion when it comes to modding games, what one person likes, another won't etc... but with that being said, and being out of touch of FO3 mod advancements, I'd like some advice.

 

I just started a NV playthrough, heavily modded.... but all i can think about is the wastelands and getting back into Washington.

 

What are the best content and game changing mods out there atm and i need stability. Last time I put a set of mods together, FO3 quit to desktop every 5 minutes... don't want a repeat of that :P

 

If anyone can list a decent mod list (and, if you're running it, the load order) it would be appreciated :)

FOSE, FOMM, FO3Edit and BOSS are necessary for a stable load order. For Mods: MUW-My Utility World, if you meet the minimum requirements, looks very promising. Otherwise, Fallout Wanderers Edition along with Fellout. DC interiors and the optional files. Shadows & Dust. Clean Delux, Fallout Remastered and Vanishing Piles to clean-up the environment. Arefu Expanded, RRCompanions Vault with optional files and MERC 2 for player housing. Level 100 mod. GNR Enhanced. MTC Wasteland Travelers and optional files. DarNified UI, if you can find it. Ainz Beautiful Eyes, Dimonized Type 3 Body Replacer, Type 6 Equipment Replacer and

Geonox Armour. For a companion, I recommend Brisa Almodovar.

This is only a partial list of what I am currently running. Some of the mods I use are based on my personal taste for NPC appearance.

 

Hope this helps.

Mothership Zeta Crew, as always. If you like New Vegas stuff and want to port them over, wait a week or two and I may have Panzer's Mass Overhaul 0.93 finished.

Thanks for the replies, will get to putting an install together tomorrow probably.... so expect load order/bashing questions if things don't pan out as expected haha :D

Is there a reason MMM, WMK or EVE were not mentioned?

[bethjunkie]

Just personal preference. I can't play without MMM and I like WMK but I've never used EVE and after three playthroughs of FWE, I found I much preferred the stability I got from dropping it and using smaller mods instead of it.

Do you mind listing your load order so i can get some inspiration? :) Always nice to see what others have found to be compatible. I'm currently using the MUW build from Freddy and trying to expand on it.
