    The unofficial bug fixes patch. Doesn’t change anything or introduce new assets. Just pure bug fixes so it should be compatible with most or all mods. Good place to start. Just started a replay myself but I never did beat it so I’m going vanilla for now aside from bug fixes and the memory booster/script extender for stability. Not a crash so far. Only 1 bug of a scorpion spawning in a wall but I reloaded from 5 minutes earlier and all was well.

    i think most people consider it a pretty solid game to play through straight your first time. Do get the unofficial official mods, though. Lots of bug fixes,.

      I played through most of the way vanilla already. I remember killing the old man on life support and giving his chat GPT instance a promotion, anyway.

    tale of two wastelands. lash fallout 3 to the side of new vegas and experience the depths of difference in quality. nv’s hardcore mode in fallout 3 actually makes it slightly compelling because the whole water purifying thing has actual stakes for you and water is much harder to come by than in the mojave

    Gear Lists MCM is an add item menu if you download a bunch of armor/weapons mods and can’t find them ingame. it’s really helpful for the big armor packs, which are convenient but often have borked loot lists

    Viva New Vegas is the definitive starting ground. I also really want to recommend Brave New World which revoices a lot of characters with professional voice actors. Once I played New Vegas I couldn’t play it without it.

    I installed the Viva New Vegas modlist and added some mods on top of it. The Viva New Vegas modlist can be quickly installed with Wabbajack even with the free version. It took me around 20 minutes to click through all the mods in Wabbajack.

    My favourite mod is Bleedless. I also installed the Better Damage Multipliers which is an optional file in this mod. In the vanilla game, the player character and all the enemies are bullet sponges that can take 5 headshots at point blank and walk it off. It completely kills my immersion, and it’s not fun. These two files make the combat more deadly and realistic. It’s a bit more challenging but much more rewarding and fun. I had a great time, this was my favourite playthrough so far.
