One of my All time favorite games, And one of the best stories in RPG History. Unfortunately It is very poorly optimized and you need mods to make the game stable. For new Players the main mods you'll need to have a modern gaming experience are:

• NVAC - New Vegas Anti Crash.
• NVSE - New Vegas Script Extender.
• NVSR - New Vegas Stutter Remover.
• Yukichigai Unofficial Patch - Be sure to download the community patch for NV on nexus mods.
• Ojo Bueno - A Texture overhaul to make the game look a bit better.
• NMC's Texture Pack - More Textures that Ojo Misses to replace.
• UIO - User interface Organizer - to adjust the UI.
• Fallout Character Overhaul - Pretty Self Explanatory.
• Project Nevada - Adds Sprint and a lot of Quality of Life addons.
• Nevada Skies - Weather Effects and lighting changes.
• EVE - Energy Weapon Animations and Fx changes, HD Blood FX, Fire Etc.
• New Vegas Enhanced Camera - Allows you to see your legs.
• Wasteland Flora Overhaul - Adds a bunch of new plants to the Mojave.
• 4GB Patch - Allows the game to use more than 4gb of ram.
• Weapons Of the New Millennia - Weapon Overhaul Mod.
• ILO - Interior Lighting Overhaul, Fixes Alot if indoor lighting
• Enhanced Blood Textures - Pretty Self Explanatory
• Unlimited Companions - Pretty Self Explanatory
• Living Desert - Adds Alot of new Custom Encounters
• ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated - Fix for Archive-Invalidation
• Uncut Wasteland - Adds alot of cut content back to the game
• Electro City - Adds alot of new custom light sources and neon Signs
• The Strip Open - No Loading Zones on vegas strip (Warning! This can effect framerate severely)

• JIP MiniMap - Adds a customizable Mini Map to your HUD

And Finally, if your reading the end on this long winded mod list The last thing id recommend for the best experience with New Vegas is a good ENB (Shader Mod). there are many to chose from and I cant assume what someone else will like, but I would recommend Rudy's enb, These ENB's Make the game look stunning. I cant take the time to explain how to install the ENB of your choosing, but there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube that have way better explanations and plenty of ENB's to see and choose from.

ENB List:
•Rudy's ENB
•Project Reality ENB
•Enhanced Shaders ENB
•DYNAMO ENB
•NEVADA ENB
