Six month break - mod recommendations? : Fallout: New Vegas

» Tue Aug 09, 2011 1:18 pm

As the header suggests, I've taken a recent break from New Vegas and was curious if there were any decent mods released in that timeframe. Please post any suggestions you might have, including your own work if you have no shame

I'm more interested in game-wide gameplay changing mods, more so than new areas, etc. but am open to all recommendations.
Also, not necessarily looking to make the game harder, just richer and deeper.

There are the mods I use. Most of them are compatability patches to eachother. I have only selected balanced, lore-fitting mods that are stable and enhances the game greatly for the better.
Also have poco bueno + NMC (the smallest) + weapon retexture project, for texture packs. And then FOMM + Unified HUD Project to get them all to work afterwards.
My game is very stable, can play for hours without a single crash
Good luck

Try Monster Mod, A World of Pain, or Angel Park. Preferably, all of the above. Those are game changers, my friend. If you try Angel Park, bring ammo. Lots and lots and lots and lots of ammo.

They add in some crazy monsters, boatloads of loot, and new places to explore. Angel Park especially adds in some crazy (censorship!). And some crazy weapons (M41A Pulse rifle, anyone? Anyone?!)

Some of the stuff offered by Project Nevada is also very good. It's adds more depth to your experience, though I wouldn't exactly call it a game changer.

edit: seriously, bring ammo to Angel Park. If you decide to go. Don't say you weren't warned.

Project Nevada and WMX. After a couple runs check out quest mods like New Vegas Bounties I and II. There's also Dog City but I couldn't get into that.
