10. 4GB Fallout New Vegas Updated

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.

9. Unofficial Patch Plus

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.

Now you will be able to go straight to the casinos and many other places with the click of a button. So download this mod before you take on the unforgiving expanse of the Mojave.

7. The Mod Configuration Menu

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 spend hours trying out all your new variants. Download WMX and get started on your armory.

3. FPGE - Functional Post Game Ending

Coming in at number 3 we have Functional Post Game Ending by Kazopert! This is another mod that makes it to the top of, not only mine but lots of people’s lists of favorite mods. The FPGE mod gives you access to a world where all of your decisions have come together to tell you a story. 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”. Download FPGE and see what your Mojave looks like.

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.

1. EVE - Essential Visual Enhancements

Coming in at number 1 we have EVE- Essential Visual Enhancements by weijiesen and jonnyeah! I’m sure any New Vegas veterans viewing this list knew that this mod would be on here. EVE is quite possibly the best visual enhancement mod out there. EVE covers everything from simple weapon animations and kill cameras to explosions and bullet impacts. This mod really shows you how beautiful this game can be. So download EVE and enhance the Mojave for yourself.
