I'm taking a long break from Skyrim, which I have modded to the extreme. I have put many hours into New Vegas on the PS3 but this will be my first time playing it on the PC. I just want to know what the differences are between modding Skyrim and New Vegas, and what the recommended tools and utilities are. For Skyrim I use Wrye Bash, Tes5Edit and BOSS. I'm not sure if these programs apply to New Vegas or if there are similar programs available. Any tips specific to modding this game would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The mod protocols are the same between the two games. Just don't have the workshop to deal with here. Use Fallout Mod Manager to install, BOSS and Wrye Bash to get them to play well together and BOSS to fix load order issues.
