Coming in at number 10 we have 4GB Fallout New Vegas Updated by MonochromeWench - Hendricks266 - Roy Batty! This mod may not seem like much but it is an essential mod for any modded playthrough of New Vegas. Normally you are very limited to what mods you can have due to storage limitations on the game. This mod fixes that problem by giving you access to a whopping 4GB of storage that New Vegas can use. Definitely download this if you’re planning on doing any type of deep modded playthrough.

Coming in at number 9 we have Unofficial Patch Plus by PushTheWinButton! This is another important mod for a first-time playthrough due to its focus on the mistakes left out by the bigger patch fix that you will see later on this list. Ultimately having as many of the big mistakes and bugs patched out will make for a more comfortable experience overall. This mod is quite good and has a long list of fixes on the mod page.

Coming in at number 7 we have The Mod Configuration Menu by Pelinor! This is another mod aimed at making running a modded game of New Vegas more convenient and user-friendly. One of the more difficult things to do with modding is keeping up with all the different options and tweaks that your mods collectively offer. The Mod Configuration Menu fixes this issue by giving you one single menu to adjust all of your available mods. Download this mod and avoid the struggle of mod management.

You will get to see the consequences of your actions that you took during the main quest as well as lots of side content. The end is never the end because “war……. War never changes”.

2. NVAC - New Vegas Anti Crash

Coming in at number 2 we have NVAC- New Vegas Anti Crash by Queue! This mod is very simple and there’s not really a whole lot to talk about. NVAC basically does just what its title says. It helps to largely reduce the number of crashes you will experience. Its job is basic but it does it very well. If you’ve ever played without an anti-crash mod then you will notice the stark difference. Download NVAC and experience a cleaner New Vegas.
