What mods should I get for NV

[calranthe]

I have an oblivion game I am very happy with and my Skyrim game is going well but I am wondering whether or not to give Fallout NV another try.

 

I love the settings but I have never really tried to make it beautiful or added mods and adult mods so I am looking for suggestions a set of mods you wouldn't play NV without and how to make it look amazing.

Aesthetically, Nevada Skies makes the game very pretty, and I'm pretty sure there are weather options included with it.

 

Utilities: Cipscis' Automatic Save Manager (CASM) is almost mandatory for extended play. Otherwise save inflation and corruption is sort of inevitable.

 

Mission Mojave fixes several many issues (well over fourteen, last I checked) and can reduce CTD's.

 

Mod Configuration Menu (MCM) is of course a classic.

 

Bodymods: There are several. The gold standard is Type 3 and that one is most fully supported, but Type 6 M (T6M) is also quite popular. I've found that most of the Type3 and T6M armors are interchangeable with little in the way of clipping.

 

Lings: The most popular hair mod. Lots of hair. All the hair. ALL THE HAIR.

 

ALL OF IT.

 

Everything else is really up to you. With all of it's DLC, F:NV is a very complete game, and I've found little that needed to be added. There are always bonus companions you could ride along with and dozens of new weapon mods for whatever suits your fancy, but on the whole, even basic improvements to the game can be more than enough.

Project Nevada is also pretty much a mandatory combat overhaul for the whole game. Couldn't recommend it enough.

Yup, i can vouch for Project Nevada.

 

AWOP ( A World of Pain ) although I don't think it's entirely lore friendly, it's a pretty good dungeon crawl I could recommend. Lots of a fun.
