If anyone knows about a recent mod-guide, I would appreciate it. I am looking for something that sticks to original game, while providing bug-fixes, graphical enhancements, lore-friendly quests and QoL updates (e.g. combining multiple maps into one).
I last played New Vegas 12 years ago and I would love to replay it.
I recently did my first full play through that actually stuck (I started maybe 5 times over the years and got bored prior to this play through) using the mod pack Viva New Vegas.
I chose that because it seemed like it offered a vanilla + experience and I have to say it was great throughout. I didn't experience any crashes, it included things like the Fallout 4 style of seeing what is in containers without opening them and generally it was a good time.
Maybe have a look and see if it fits your needs :)
Viva New Veges sounds like exactly what I am looking for! Thanks!
What's kind of fun is that there are two. Depends on if you want just New Vegas, or if you want to shove Fallout 3 into Fallout New Vegas's game engine and play them both with some crossover content using Tale of Two Wastelands to combine them (have to own both though).
Viva New Vegas is the version for the base game, and is probably the best "vanilla+" modpack I've used in quite a while.
The Best of Times is the version for TTW (Fallout 3 shoved in with NV)
I never actually finished Fallout 3 (I played a lot of FO1 and FO2 as a kid and FO3 felt off). Maybe I should do a modded FO3 run and then a New Vegas run! :)
F3 is off. I used Tale of Two Wastelands before but F3 territory was more of a hunting ground.
