FALLOUT New Vegas MOD LIST

ESO and Ultimate Immersion presenting the new Fallout New Vegas mod list. A compact, gameplay friendly mod list with a solid core and engine fixes is a perfect way for you to start modding this game!
You may notice that this mod list is smaller than usual. This is because Fallout New Vegas is an extremely fragile game when it comes to modding and limited by old engine structure. Even the smallest mods can cause huge problems if done incorrectly. For this reason, we have created a stable core mod list that you can add onto with huge quest mods like Fallout: The Frontier and other overhauls without facing any issues or conflicts.

Patch Notes
This Mod List will be updated with new mods over time. This tab exists so you can easily see if there have been any additional mods added and where in the install order they should be installed. If you have solutions for bug fixes or suggestions for improvements, don’t hesitate to post feedback on our Discords.
● Added 000. EVE - Essential Visual Enhancements
● Removed 000. Wasteland Clothing Hires Retexture
(ENB) Rudy ENB
A popular graphical enhancement preset that works well with all quest expansion mods and environments.
Important Note: While ENB's do vastly improve the appearance of the game they will also cause performance issues. This is due to the age of Fallout New Vegas, your high end system will not make a difference. You will notice a performance drop during some more intensive quest mods, when this happens try disabling it using the F12 hotkey.
