Complete Fallout New Vegas Graphics & Content Mod Overhaul P2: Fallout NV Graphics Overhaul P3: Fallout NV Quests & Realism Overhaul P4: Fallout NV Mod Installation

The ability to mod games like Fallout 3 and Skyrim is one of the biggest advantages toward longevity when compared to other, less modifiable RPGs. Fallout: New Vegas -- Bethesda’s most recent post-apocalyptic RPG -- is not an exception to this. With a multitude of mods available on NexusMods, it’s certainly not difficult to find oneself with 60+ mods adding anything from high-resolution textures to overhauls for major factions to new weapons. Today, we’re going to be showing how to completely overhaul Fallout: New Vegas into a harsh, unforgiving, immersive wasteland by using a compilation of graphics mods, content / quest mods, mechanics overhaul, and more. Welcome to "Fallout: New Vegas - 2014." Luckily, Fallout: New Vegas is fairly easy to mod, but due to the large number of mods, this article will be split into six different sections: required mods, graphics, quests/content & mechanics, other mods, how to install Fallout: New Vegas mods, and tips/conclusion. Note: This mod overhaul requires all the DLC for Fallout: NV along with the most recent update from Bethesda.

Lighting FX, ENB, environment textures, weapon textures.

NVSE - NVSE expands the scripting of Fallout: NV and is needed by many of the best mods.

New Vegas Stutter Remover - Fallout: NV has a tendency to stutter, especially when mods are added. This mod aims to improve stuttering and stutter-related crashes.

Weapon Mods Expanded and Weapon Mod Expansion - Both of these mods add a large number of possible modifications to in-game weapons. These mods are required by some weapon mods and overhauls.

CaliberX - The mods in this overhaul add many weapons, and this mod adds a comprehensive ammo standard (a library of ammo) for the other mods to use.
