The fact is that Fallout: New Vegas is such a great game and it’s sad to see it plagued by issues. If you managed to find a fix for the Fallout New Vegas lock-ups and crashes, please let us all know in the comment section below – this way, we’ll have a lot of happy gamers! Fallout: New Vegas is highly addicting game. It is also full of numerous glitches and errors that can prevent you from playing the game easily — like game or launcher crashes, audio problems, quick save / auto save issues (overall saving issues), game lag / stuttering, etc.
Don't use mods on your first play through. Wouldn't you want to experience the game as it's supposed to be played before altering it or adding cheats?I don't think New Vegas is as good, but it's not far off from Fallout 3. Both games are great.I bought New Vegas the day it came out because I liked Fallout 3 so much, but it kept freezing and drove me nuts so I put it on the shelf for a while. Kept saying I'd go back to it after it was patched. Then I was able to get The Ultimate Edition for next to nothing, and play all of the DLC for basically free, so I got that, played everything then traded it in for more than I paid for it. I still have the original edition with the slipcover, though. That's both true and untrue.
There are mods that objectively improve the game. Like, There's not even a single downside to downloading some of the mods, such as Yukichigai Unofficial Patch. It fixes soooo many bugs and problems without changing anything about the game itself. OP, get Nexus mod manager (it's not the best mod manager, but it's the easiest for those new to modding).There are many great mods as well, but this is where you get into tricky territory since many of them alter core components of the game. For example, Project Nevada changes many of the core components of the game, but it's extremely customizable and I consider the majority of its changes a great improvement over Vanilla New Vegas.
The rest of the changes I can turn off. It's not cheating either since most of the changes make the game harder. The problem is that on a first playthrough, you most likely wouldn't know what each setting does, so it's tricky to tweak things to get an experience you'd like.OP, if you really want mods on your playthrough, get to the New Vegas Nexus page, go to the mods tab, and check the top files (it'll take you to the most endorsed mods recently). Really depends on what you want. If you want a mostly vanilla experience with some enhancements, use the YUP patch, Unofficial Patch Plus and NMC's Texture Pack. If you want to go more in-depth and overhaul it properly, though be aware that it'll require a lot of time and effort on your part. Definitely worth it if you're looking to install a lot of mods though, as it helps to avoid the shittier mods that are either broken or obsolete.
And whatever you do, don't use Nexus Mod Manager. Use Mod Organizer, it's way better.Also, New Vegas Redesigned 3 is a great mod if you want to fix up those butt-ugly Gamebryo faces. A lot of people use FCO, but that mod tends to lean far too much into the uncanny valley. Are you trolling?OP, dont download a world of pain for a first playthrough, its buggy as hell and butcher the game adding several places and NPCs with terrible dialogue and overpowered weapons. Its also horrible for performanceits a mod for replays if you REALLY like shooting things, which is far from the best point of NV.
Stay away from it. Ultimate Edition is packed with content, just look for bugfixes and texture mods and maybe project nevada to make the gunplay a bit less disappointing, don't go around adding quest mods and then complain about the writing being off in some places when it was a fanmade quest that you were going through. Just a few lore friendly ones from what I remember, I've yet to create an 'ultimate' mod list. Mods take this game to the moon!Simple idea with perfect execution.Enhanced versions of laser effects, blood, shots, etc.The flying robot doesn't trip landmines anymore.Much more detailed character faces.Lets you see yourself.You might prefer the strange lonliness vanilla offers though.' I've experimented with multiple changes to the DT/damage system, and have finally found one that seems to be working well for me.
Combat is frequently vicious and brief, and having to pump round after round of ammunition into an unarmored raider happens far less frequently. Most people, the player included, will kick the bucket after eating from one to three bullets. Getting in the first shot is more crucual than ever.This mod makes combat more challenging and deadly.1) All weapons deal 100% more damage.2) All creatures deal 100% more damage.3) Player and NPCs have approximately 35% less health.4) Player limbs take 100% damage (instead of 50%)5) Armor and creatures have AR equal to DT rating. This is the most controversial change in this mod, as it can potentially devalue armor from a defensive standpoint by making most weapons/creature attacks bypass the damage threshold. The additional armor rating helps offset this. As a result, you'll generally run into fewer situations where you can't damage an enemy successfully (since damage is doubled globally), but the AR will help reduce damage to make armor still viable and important.Unfortunately, I had to edit armor entries individually to achieve this effect, meaning that user-added armors will not gain the benefit of the adjusted AR (unless of course the original armor maker decided to modify AR.' I played it on 360 last time around about two years ago until I got sick when I had some time off.
It shudders sometimes, it hard locked on me twice in about eighty hours of gameplay, but otherwise, it's fine if you're like me (AKA not super-discerning about frame rate, etc., unless it seriously hinders gameplay).It was even better the third time around than it was the first two times.I'm thinking of buying it on GOG and then just HDMI-cabling my laptop to my TV, but I'm worried about my laptop running the game.

What are the odds? I was about to make an LTTP thread about New Vegas since I finished it for the first time yesterday.Oh well, to keep things short the game is an excellent RPG. Never played a game where my choices would really affect both NPCs and the world around them. Gunplay felt great (especially since I played Fallout 3 on XB1X before this) and I enjoyed the various and unique settings. The game along with its DLCs is almost a 10/10 for me but.The PC version is a NIGHTMARE (also screw Windows 10).30+ freaking game crashes! Are you kidding me? I went from like 20 mods (Visuals, QoL etc) to just barely playing the game on vanilla with like 5 performance mods (thankfully the game holds up visually at 1080p, except for the faces).
I managed to figure out that auto saving caused many of the crashes and from then on the game would crash from every 30 minutes to 3-5 hours. I even got an game breaking bug with one of the companions refusing to follow me, after using every console command possible the companion finally moved, just barely enough to continue the game.Anyways, I needed to vent. Now that I'm finished with the game I still think its an excellent RPG with an unfortunate crappy PC version.
If you are PC savy then you should give it a go because it's almost worth it and there are a LOT of fun Mods.In case anyone wants to give it a go I used this to help with the game performance (might have to do a bit more work if you are running current W10).

Has 27,000 fixes for various bugs throughout New Vegas and its DLC packs.Graphical Fallout: New Vegas modsNew Vegas Redesigned 3addresses a few issues related to lore and world, but it’s key focus is recrafting every NPC to better reflect who they are. If they’re a grizzled war veteran, scars are added and skin made rough. A young, happy, beautiful NPC will have clearer a complexion. These HD retextures, and adjustments to proportions and structure, make New Vegas’s NPCs just that little bit more believable.NMCs Texture Pack for New VegasThere’s a lot of world in New Vegas, and reskins almost all of it with high-definition textures that will make the Mojave Wasteland look so much sharper. Roads, buildings, trees, and plenty of items have their textures replaced, making this a one-stop-mod for overhauling a huge percentage of New Vegas’s visuals.Nevada SkiesSince you’ll be spending so much time outside in Fallout: New Vegas, you’d might as well make sure that blue sky is doing something interesting. Adds 320 new cloud variations to the game, alongside some fantastic weather effects such as sandstorms, rain, rainstorms, RADstorms, thunderstorms, and even snow.Wasteland Flora OverhaulAdding 101 different trees and plants to the wasteland, brings a subtle sense of beauty to the otherwise barren and sandy Mojave. The mod creator is aware that too much living flora could be counter to Fallout lore, so the mod comes in three different grades: Fertile Wasteland is the whole lot for a much leafier world, Dead Wasteland is a compromise between living and dead plants, and ESP-less uses just retextured versions of the original withered tree models.ELECTRO-CITY Relighting the WastelandSay ‘Vegas’ and the first thing that comes to mind is likely the lights.
Neons, flashing LEDs, and burning bright bulbs. You’ll find barely any of that in New Vegas, but is the mod to add the shine the world needs. Hundreds of new lights are added, from street lamps and signs to burning barrels. Lighting is often key to an immersive graphical experience, and this mod makes sure the light is there.Fellout N.V.is one of the most popular Fallout 3 mods thanks to its ability to wipe out the sickly green filter that washes over everything. The New Vegas variant takes a similar approach, stopping the game making everything look a cosy orange and replacing colours with hot, desert tones that make the desert feel a lot more unforgiving.Essential Visual EnhancementsThe mod addresses all the various animations and effects that occur in combat, be that the ejection of a bullet from a gun, or the blood squirt as said bullet impacts on enemy flesh.

Not only is a more fun-looking alternative to The ENB of the Apocalypse, it also includes its own weather and lighting systems, so there’s no need to combine with other mods.IMPACTNew Vegas is a great RPG, but it lacks when it comes to the shooter elements. Guns lack any feedback and feel like peashooters compared to the best FPS games out there. Remedies this by changing the impact effects when bullets hit different surfaces, with new bullet hole decals and particle effects upon impact.
The calibre of gun you use changes the size of the hole you make, and ejected shells are now weapon appropriate.Gameplay Fallout: New Vegas modsTitanFalloutThere’s not a game out there that couldn’t be improved with the addition of big stomping robots, and this mod proves it (at least for Fallout). Is, as the name suggests, a mod that adds the robotic mechs of Titanfall to New Vegas. With a new gadget you can call a Titan drop, which will rain down a hulking metal man.

It’s designed to make New Vegas a more challenging, more fun game, through the installation of a variety of module. You can pick and choose which ones are installed, allowing you a degree of control about how far you stray from the ‘vanilla’ experience. The modules cover Core systems like health, vision, and bullet time, Cyberware: which implants you with a variety of bionic enhancements, Rebalance: which overhauls all the RPG systems of the game, and Equipment: which adds a huge selection of new usable gear to the game.
For an instant change to the way New Vegas plays, Project Nevada is essential.Weapons of the New Milleniaadds 45 amazingly detailed weapons to New Vegas, with wonderful high-definition models and textures. They’re all modern-day guns you’d recognise from the likes of Call of Duty and ARMA, so if you’re a bit of a weapons nut and would like to replace Fallout’s rag-tag shooters with something more realistic, then this is the mod for you.Weapons Mod ExpandedOne of the most exciting things coming to Fallout 4 is the ability to modify weapons at a crafting bench, bolting on all kinds of additions like scopes, silences, and stocks. But you don’t have to wait for Fallout 4 for that kind of thing; just grab for Fallout New Vegas and strap a laser sight onto your revolver, a choke on your shotgun, or a variety of other great and useful modifications for many of the game’s guns.New Vegas Enhanced CameraIf you’re going for the immersive New Vegas experience, the one thing that’s going to get in your way is the camera. It makes you a floating set of eyes rather than a real person for starters, and every time you do something like sit down or die the game insists on pulling out to third person. Keep your eyes firmly in a body with the mod, which gives you a physical body you can actually see working, and won’t ever pull you out of it.More PerksEvery two levels you progress in Fallout, you get to choose a new perk to add to your ability-enhancing collection.
But if the selection you have to pick from just isn’t good enough, then this mod is for you.

With some funding from your own pocket, you can start to add new areas to Nipton and encourage its growth into a busy new location in the Mojave Wastes.New Vegas Bountiesis a new questline mod tasks you to hunt down and eliminate the Mojave Wasteland’s Most Wanted.
A dastardly collection of rogue rangers, fiends, raiders, drug smugglers, cannibals, and pistoleros, they all have a massive price on their head waiting for you to collect. Be wary though: they’re all mean and tough, and won’t come along quietly.A World of PainAdding a massive 114 new location to New Vegas, is the right choice for challenge-seeking explorers.

The, as seen in Fallout 4’s reveal, can now be yours to live in in Fallout: New Vegas, bringing with it a couple of new weapons for you to defend your new hovel with.Wasteland DefenceWhilst some mods have been inspired by Fallout 4’s reveal, other mods actually inspired Fallout 4’s development.
Undoubtedly was one of them, which is a mod that allows you to build your own fortress, rig up a set of defensive measures, and then trigger raid attacks that you must fend off. Essentially a tower defence mini-game, it’s one of New Vegas’s most interesting and accomplished mods.DUST Survival SimulatorSurvival games are all the rage right now, and transforms New Vegas into one, too. The whole game has been rebalanced to work as a survival sim, with thirst, hunger, and keeping yourself healthy now a main priority. Whatsmore, all friendly NPCs have been wiped out, meaning the only quest in the game is to simply survive.The InheritanceA fully voiced quest line with 1,300 lines of dialogue, sees a mysterious stranger approach you with the request that you deliver a package. This unfolds into a choice-heavy main quest and a series of smaller side quests, all designed to be lore-friendly and offer a balance of ultra-violence and finesse approaches. It includes some interesting ‘evolving dungeons’, which if emptied of enemies will be occupied by a rival force when you next return.Project Brazilis more than a mod; it’s a complete new campaign.
You even select it from the New Game option on the main menu, and it has an opening cinematic and everything. You take on the role of an Orphan from California’s secretive Vault 18, and head out on a quest involving a war between the Super Mutants, the Survivalist Raiders, and the New California Republic. Six new companions can join you, and a whole new area in the Black Bear Mountain National Forest is available to explore. It’s basically an amazing piece of DLC, all for free.Realistic Stealth OverhaulPlaying stealth has always been an option in Fallout, but never a particularly good one.
Makes a lot of changes to the systems to make sneaking about a far more effective approach, ensuring that detection is based on line of sight, and that back stabbings work as they should.NinerNew Vegas has some of the best companions seen in a Fallout game, but we’ll never refuse additional buddies, provided they live up to Obsidian’s quality bar. Is a brilliant companion; tough, drug-addled, and dog loving. He’s voiced with over 500 lines of dialogue, and constantly makes observations about the world. He also has his own quest line that develops as you travel through the Mojave Wasteland.Run the Lucky 38The Lucky 38 casino and hotel is in need of a new owner, and you’re just the person. Re-open this establishment, put in some capital, and start to expand one room at a time with the mod. The casino is also a key part in some of Mr. House’s conspiracies and ventures, and having ownership of the place may shed light on one of New Vegas’s most shadowy characters, should you wish to investigate.JSawyerJosh Sawyer was director on Fallout New Vegas.
When the game shipped, he wasn’t entirely happy with the final result, and so spent time tinkering and tweaking with the game’s core systems in the months after release. He went on to release the, a set of big fixes and changes that work to bring New Vegas closer to his vision. The ‘Director’s Cut’ of New Vegas, if you will. You’ll find health is significantly reduced, how much you can carry is lower, and you can’t progress any higher than level 35. A distinctly more challenging experience for the hardcore Fallout fan.Fallout: The Frontier.
One to watch rather than grab now, is currently in development and due to release late in 2015. Taking you to a brand new region of Portland, Oregon, The Frontier is a snowy wasteland designed to be super-harsh.

The total conversion mod adds a main quest, side quests, hunting, and even a fire propagation system to the game.If your anticipation is high for your next trip to a bombed-out apocalyptic shooter, you’ll want to read everything we know about.
