I just finished the game for the first time, all vanilla.

Now I am restarting and wanted to add some modes. I already added FO:NV Redesigned 2 as I loved this guys mod for DA:O and it does exactly want I want it to do.

So that takes care of the NPC faces.

I also added WRP so now all the guns look better.

What I'm looking for is mods that just make the overall game look better. I don't want any new NPC's or quests or items. Basically still vanilla but better. I won't mind mods that maybe enhance an area, like the strip, towns, etc. as long as it kept everything lore friendly.

I looked at NMC's Texture pack, but to use the larger ones you need another mod that I'm having issues with so I can't use it.

Thanks.

Note, this is a fairly new PC which I played Skyrim on with Ultra settings, so about anything goes.

I don't recommend using any of the above if you don't have a high end PC.

Well aside from the ones already mentioned, I'd recommend getting http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/42666/?.

Detailed Normals doesn't appear to be on the Nexus anymore.

Wow thanks for the links. Take a while to go through those.

- A tumble weed mod. I actually grew up in SE Colorado and clearing tumble weeds out of the electric fence was nearly a daily chore. Be nice to see those look better. Just wish someone made a mod to vary them in size and shape.

EDIT:

What about mods to make the PC look better. Redesigned does a great job with the NPC's, but my PC still looks like a derp. I don't want a supermodel or anything, but something that could pass for human would be nice.

EDIT 2:

I guess more specifically I am trying to make my character look like Alyx Vance from Half-Life 2.

Since she's an African/Asian mix herself it is pretty difficult to do. Actually I can come closest using the Hispanic race. About the closest I've found of mods is this: http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/34905/?

Oops

There is not a whole lot can be done about the chargen system. The best you can do is go into the GECK and create a custom NPC with the face you want and then add it to the preset faces for chargen.

As for textures and mesh, here are some I know of.
