Fallout 4 mod compliation download

&#;

&#;

&#;

First of all, make sure your system is prepared:

• Make sure you have latest game version and all DLCs. Most of mods require DLCs to work properly - if you won't have DLCs, your game simply won't launch when using many dozens of popular mods. Also, guaranteed work of all mods can be ensured on % only on English version of the game. Graphics mods mostly will work fine with any language version, but many gameplay mods will not work properly with other languages and I won't be able to provide troubleshooting support in this case.
• Disable Steam overlay, Afterburner overlay, disable all posisble overlays in general, disable all possible antiviruses (Windows Defender included), or at least add New Vegas exe and all related modding tools you'll install during the modding (your mod manager, LOOT, etc) to your antivirus/firewall "white list", disable all possible "boosters" and "tuners" programs you may be using. Also disable automatic Geforce Experience game optimization for NV (or similar feature for AMD GPUs). All of them can anytime screw up your modded game and/or it's many settings. Follow the guide and use only what's recommended here.
• Make sure you have VC++ &#; installed. To install, just download and run the file.
• Make sure you have DirectX June Redist&#; installed. To install, just donwload into some empty folder, run the file - it will extract plenty of files, then run the installer. After installation is complete, those temporary files - you can delete them.
• Make sure you don't have the game installed in Program Files. If you have it there - reinstall it on another drive, or at the same drive, but out of Program Files folder.

Now, let's make your New Vegas ready for modding and stable!
Attention #1: all steps in this section are obligatory. Do not skip any of them until it's separately mentioned.
Attention #2: U.L.T.I.M.A.T.E.'s stability section contains absolutely everything you need to make your game free of crashes and stutters. This means you don't need to use any other guides/tutorials together with it - some guides are good, but just outdated, most "super secret tweaks" you may find randomly in web are placebo or even directly harmful. Stability mods and tweaks, and their exact combination listed here has proven itself to give the best performance and stability - tested on different PCs, different Windows versions and by many different players.
Similar applies to mods in the list - if you don't see some mod while you was expecting it, most likely it's just forward in the list due to better installation order. Or if some, maybe even really popular mods with a lot of endorsements are not listed here, that simply means they either have stability issues or just have a better and newer alternatives :)
Some really great but sort of very much matter of taste/cheating/highly conflicting mods will be also mentioned in own section in the end- but using mods from this section, you're doing this at your own risk and I won't be able to provide troubleshooting support for them.

1) Install a mod manager per your choice.
Choose between these two mod managers, choice is absolutely a matter of taste. I'm using NMM, but choice is completely up to you:
- Nexus Mod Manager&#; - simple and effective. NMM is recommended for modding newcomers - very intuitive with close to zero learning curve, minimalistic and clear interface while having % of features needed to build even the heaviest mod list. It's also % fine with installing mods that have so called "fomod installer" (when a popup with options to choose appears during installation). NMM is also much easier to manage certain "point" conflicts when overwriting mods. On the page, get the .exe version of latest NMM file. While NMM is very easy to get into, you can also wathc this amazing video tutorial about its setup and usage.
- Mod Organizer&#; - mod manager on steroids, packed with huge amount of cool features. Has longer learning curve, but allows more powerful customization while building the mod list. Many players with advanced modding skills are choosing it, and that's well deserved. It has 2 versions - MO1 and MO2 (both can be downloaded from the files section linked - and don't worry it's Skyrim SE section - it's just hosted there. MO fully supports New Vegas). MO2 has even more features, but it was developed for 64bit games in first turn (like FO4 and Skyrim SE, while NV is 32bit one). MO1 (Mod Organizer 1 Legacy) is complete without additional glitches MO2 may have - so if you're not yet very experienced, but you liked MO, get the MO1. If you're an experienced modder - try MO2. You can also watch some super useful series of video tutorials for MO1 and MO2 here.
Important note about MO usage: this mod manager stores mod files and .ini files in own way, so to edit your ini files you'll need to open them through MO itself.
What about Vortex and FOMM, you may ask?
Vortex - while looking really fancy in Win 10 style, it's very glitchy, doesn't have some fundamental features for serious modding and can simply break your heavy-modded game, making it dysfunctional in many aspects. Do not use Vortex to mod FNV - I won't be able to provide a troubleshooting support if you're using it, please take that into account. Yes, this note still applies for
FOMM - the oldest mod manager for NV. It has 2 versions - older one wasn't updated since and it's just too outdated and unsupported at all. The updated version of it has many it's issues fixed, but still has a lot of another issues and glitches, from minor to major. Correct installation of mods is not guaranteed and I won't be able to provide troubleshooting support for it as well.
Tldr: choose between NMM or MO and have a stable game :)
If something will change in a good way for any of FOMM/Vortex, I'll let you guys know.

2) Install LOOT.
Your best friend to organize load order - the way in which order your mods are going one after another. Loot also shows some useful information - missing masters, dirty records, which can be useful to you. Proper load order is very important to run your modded game without conflicts, as mods (especially gameplay mods) compatibility often depends on it. Download the diseinuak4web.net file via the link provided (image showing file version needed) and isntall, then run it. LOOT usage is very simple - just run it, choose New Vegas as a game and click "Sort plugins". Wait until sorting is finished, click "Apply" and close the program. Here's an image showing the buttons needed. Do this each time you've installed a few other mods, and one more time when your mod list is finished. LOOT is smart and has own database, so in almost all cases automatic sorting is enough - but don't worry, for cases when some manual load order rules are needed, I'll notify you and provide simple instructions :)

3) Install New Vegas Script Extender.
Download the archive (showed in the picture) anywhere at your PC. Unpack it.
Place nvse_1_diseinuak4web.net, nvse_1_diseinuak4web.net, nvse_editor_1_diseinuak4web.net, nvse_diseinuak4web.net, nvse_steam_diseinuak4web.net files to your NV root folder (the main game folder, where New Vegas launcher exe is, [not] the Data folder).
Now, download the latest archive version from here (currently the "nvse_5_1_betaz" archive), save it anywhere on your PC, unpack. Grab all the files in the folder [besides] the "Data" folder and place them into NV root folder same as you did with original NVSE files just now. Confirm overwriting when asked.
From now on and always, launch the game only via nvse_diseinuak4web.net Make a shortcut of it for your desktop and launch game only with it.

4) Install 4GB Patcher.
4GB Patcher increases amount of RAM available for game to use.
To install - download the archive anywhere, unpack and place FalloutNVpatch file to your NV root folder (the main game folder, where New Vegas launcher exe is, [not] the Data folder). Run it. Bingo, your game is patched! Only install it - we'll deal with .ini file tweaks later in one-click way ;)
Note:: if you have GOG version of the game - still install this one - it supports GOG version as well.

5) Install New Vegas Anti Crash.
This mod is a pure magic. No other words for that. One click installation. Bang. Almost all engine crash issues disappearead. Essential and amazing mod.
Just download and install with mod manager.

7) Install New Vegas Stutter Remover.
This mod main feature is to greatly reduce amount of stutters in your game. But, it helps against crashes and with memory allocation as well, working in team with previous mods with a great synergy.
Just install with mod manager. Don't do anything else for now. "Anything else" is alredy pre-made for you in the next steps :)

8) Use my New Vegas .INI files (diseinuak4web.net and diseinuak4web.net)
Go to Files section of the guide (showed in this image). There you'll see file named "Base INI Files". These .INI files are [already] pre-configured for ENB usage - you don't need to do anything yourself. Download the archive, unpack it anywhere, grab the diseinuak4web.net and diseinuak4web.net and place them to \Documents\My Games\FalloutNV, overwriting if asked. Now you need to make only 2 tiny adjustments. You can open them with any text editor tool (notepad for example, but I humbly recommend to use this amazing editor - it makes editing the .INI files x10 easier and more comfy for your eye, and it's totally free). So, do the next:
- In diseinuak4web.net, find iNumHWThreads= value. Change the value to the amount of your CPU cores (it's set to 6, so if you have 4 cores - set the value to 4, etc). Save the changes (press CTRL+S) and close the ini file.
- This step is "floating". During your mod list growing, if you'll be experiencing sound lags and/or some sounds not playing at all from time to time, you need this step. If you don't such issues, then don't change the values mentioned in this step. In diseinuak4web.net, find iAudioCacheSize= value. It's set to by default. Double it, setting to Now, in the same file, just in the next line, you'll see iMaxSizeForCachedSound= value. It's set to by default. Doubt it, setting to  Save the changes (press CTRL+S) and close the ini file. These settings should have with sound lag issues in most of cases, but in case that won't be enough still, you can double respective values again (to and respectively) - but this most likely will never be needed. Save the changes, close the ini file.
- In diseinuak4web.net, find sD3DDevice= value. Change it to your GPU name. Note: this part is important. The thing is - yes, you can change that in NV launcher as well, but if you'll launch it first time while different GPU is listed there, NV launcher will reset all other settings to default as well.
- In diseinuak4web.net, find iSize W= and iSize H=. Those, as you already may have guessed, are values for your ingame resolution, where "W" value is width and "H" value is height. It's set to x by default, but if your resolution is different, or you're planning to play in DSR (dynamic super resolution), change these values to whatever your need. Save the changes, close the ini file.
Important note: after you've finished with settings for these two .INI files, set them to "read only" mode. It's also very recommended to not use NV launcher to change ingame resolution and other settings in general - it's reported by many players that even simply launching NV launcher without doing anything reverts some settings (like for grass density, for example) back to vanilla values. Just get a habit to make those changes directly in .INI files - it's much better :)
Also, if you want to return game starting intro (it'd disabled to save your precious time because c'mon, how many hundreds of times you saw it already haha), just change values of "SMainMenuMovieIntro=" and "SIntroSequence=" back to 1 instead of 0.

Optional additional settings to disable mouse acceleration and for more realistic decals/blood/shooting fx visibility range/time (tinker with these settings only after you've finished your mod list completely, sure that everything is running fine and your FPS is fine):



9) Install my .INI files for New Vegas Script Extender and New Vegas Stutter Remover.
Go to Files section of the guide. There you'll see file named "INI Files for NVSE & NVSR". Download the file and add it to your mod manager. Install. When asked about overwriting the files - approve it.
That simple, you may ask? Yep! These .INI files are pre-configured with actually working settings for each and every PC. As well as for Windows 7, 8 and Yes, you may have read that NVSR doesn't work properly on Win This issue is also fixed. Unlike from other random settings that can be found in web, these inis also don't have any harmful values, configured in that way so you don't need to bother about adjusting anything no matter what rig you have and on which Windows you are.

10) Install The Mod Configuration Menu.
Allows to configure mods via special cozy menu straight in game. Required for many mods to work properly and makes your modded game life much more easier.
Note: don't forget to intsall the "MCM BugFix 2" file from Updates section in Files tab. Download the update file and simply add the archive to you mod manager and install with mod manager, overwriting when asked.

11) Install JIP LN NVSE Plugin.
This mod is like a required "core" for each second amazing gameplay mod, being an extension to NVSE and adding hundreds of new functions. Basically, without it most of great mods listed below most likely would never appear or work same good. In addition, it also fixes many notorious bugs from vanilla game. Download and install with mod manager, no other actions required.
Note:: With JIP installed, you can check if 4GB patcher is working correctly ingame. Launch the game, open console (~ key) and type GetIsLAA. If console will print 2 in return - that's it.

12) Install Ogg Vorbis Libraries.
This tiny but effective fix greatly helps with audio lags and stutter in the game caused by audio issues, by improving the method how game decodes audio.
This needs to be done manually. Just follow the steps:
- Make an empty folder anywhere on your PC and name it "NV Vorbis Backup", for example.
- Go to NV main folder (where game launcher is located) and find the files called diseinuak4web.net and diseinuak4web.net Copy these two files and place them to previously made backup folder. In this way, we'll simply backup these files, just in case.
- Download Ogg Vorbis Libraries main file (archive).
- Unpack it.
- Take diseinuak4web.net, diseinuak4web.net and place these files into your NV main folder.
- Bingo!

13) Install ENB binaries and my diseinuak4web.net file.
"But wait! Last time I installed those pesky ENBs my PC turned into ash", you may say. The reason for this was incorrect installation and nothing else :) Until your PC isn't something like Pentium Core 2 Duo with Intel HD integrated graphics, you can run at least performance-friendly ENB, just with proper ini settings - they make a huge difference. My gf, for example, is running NV with decent amount of texture mods and ENB on laptop with m GPU (which is really weak as for modern PC standards). So, as you can see, there's literally no reason to not use ENB today.
Secondly, unlike a often-met misconseption, ENB is not just a "thing that changes colors and blurs background". ENB is a complex post-processing engine - meaning it adds visual effects and shaders that game itself simply doesn't support. True antialiasing and actually working ambient occlusion, beautiful detailed shadows, water shaders, godrays, qualitative HDR and much more. Besides that, ENB if easily and fully configurable through ingame interface.
But there's even more - and that's a main part! Even for some personal reasons you won't use ENB itself (meaning ENB presets for graphics enhancement), you still need this step. The thing is, so called Enboost (and actually, just proper settings in diseinuak4web.net) is [improving] your game performance and eleminating memory-related crashes thanks to it's ability to increase total amount of memory game can use, literally bypassing part of 32big game engine limitation. But for this to work, you need to have ENB binaries. In this case, ENB itself as graphics enhancer will not work, but will drastically improve FPS and overall game stability.
Now, we can continue to installation itself:
- Download the archive from the ENBdev website. Scroll down till you see the black pixelated-like arrow. That's a download button.
- Unpack the archive, go to WrapperVersion older, take only diseinuak4web.net and diseinuak4web.net and place them into Fallout New Vegas main folder (where FalloutNV and FalloutNVLauncher .exe files are). Not the \Data folder!
- Go to Files section of the guide. Now, get the file named "Enblocal INI File". Unpack it, and place file called diseinuak4web.net to your NV main folder (same folder where you've just placed ENB binaries). This file, same as NVSE and NVSR inis, it's already pre-configured and only one parameter in it [maybe] will need to be changed. Read below.
- Now, check if you need to change that single parameter in enblocal. Download VRamSizeTest. Unpack the archive, and run diseinuak4web.net (exactly this one, not the DX11 one). If the "Video memory available" value you see there is or higher - congrats, you don't need to change anything at all! You don't need to read next steps.
- If it's lower than , substract from value you have if you're on Win 7, substract if you're on Win 10 and don't substract anything if you're on Win 8. For example, your value there is Correct value needed for Win 7 will be , same for Win 8 and for Win
- Now go to your NV main folder and open diseinuak4web.net file with any text editor (notepad for example, but I once again humbly recommend to use this amazing editor - it makes editing the .INI files x10 easier and more comfy for your eye, and it's totally free). Find the VideoMemorySizeMb= line. Change it's current value () to value you received in previous step. But remember that is [maximum] value, so if your test will show you bigger value - just keep Press CTRL+S to save the changes and close the file. Done!
- In your videocard driver/control panel, for New Vegas, set the Antialiasing, Anisotropic Filtering, FXAA and Ambient Occlusion (SSAO) to "Application-Controlled" (Nvidia) or "Use application settings" (AMD), or to just "Off", in case of application-controlled options are not available.
How to play in borderless windowed mode (working Alt+Tab): set the next values to True instead of False:
ForceBorderless=false
ForceBorderlessFullscreen=false
Note: it very rare cases, ENB borderless doesn't work for some people - in this case, use this little thing for the same feature.

Very important note #1: after you've made these steps, NEVER change your diseinuak4web.net Yes, that means if some ENB preset you will be using has diseinuak4web.net file in it as well - do NOT use it. Simply don't paste it with other ENB preset files, leave it be. This file contains only technical settings related to memory and stability, that's why you should always have only your own one, which is adjusted for your rig.
Very important note #2:
My diseinuak4web.net file already has fps limiter set up. If vastly majority of cases, it's the best way to limit fps in your game (which is needed to prevent some physics glitches and stutters). Make sure that V-Sync and/or other similar FPS limiter features are disabled for New Vegas - check your GPU program settings for NV, tools like Nvidia Inspector and so on - ENB has own FPS limiter which works better with the game. If you'll have multiple sources of FPS limitation for NV, this will cause stutters.

14) Install ENB ENB Hair Fixes.
This is a tiny, but needed mod to fix sometimes happening weird visual glitches with hair.

15) Install Yukichigai Unofficial Patch.
YUP is same as Unofficial Patch for Skyrim or Oblivion. It's an immense compilation of bugfixes - thousands of them! Absolutely titanic work and a must have and essential mod for core bugfixing.
Important note: you don't need Mission Mohave mod. YUP completely superseds it in terms of quality and amount of bug fixes. Besides that, Mission Mohave contains many subjective changes to the game which are not actually bugfixes. Use YUP and only YUP.

16) Install Unofficial Patch Plus.
Another great compilation of bugfixes that's made to be used in team with YUP. Grab it! Optionally, but very recommended - also install Addendum addon from this mod Files section - it contains several other improvements that are not complete bug fixes, but change really notorious things, and change them logically.
Note: if for some reasons you don't want to have UPP own additions that are not directly a bug fixes, but rather a changes to notorious vanilla mechanics (they all are absolutely fine and logical tho, in my opinion), you can use Unofficial Patch NVSE instead :) But use one or another, not both.

17) Install Navmesh Fixes and Improvements and Sandbox's annoyances==NEW==.
Criminally underrated and absolutely amazing mod that does how it's named. It improves and fixes a lot of navmeshes and sandboxes in the game, fixing a lot of issues related to them. Navmeshes is a pathfinding parameters for NPCs in game, so mod helps greatly with many cases when NPCs were acting like a robots. 

18) Now install the Great Collision Trio!
- Precision Collision - Clutter NV
- Unnecessary Physics
- Collision Meshes&#;
These three mods will greatly improve the look and behaviour of many colliding objects in the game - food lying on tables, corpses lying in cars and hanging towers, grenades bounces etc, making position of hundreds of such objects more logical and their physics looking much more realistic.
Install the mods in the same order as they are listed and overwrite when asked.
Note: from Collision Meshes file section, also install the update file. Lastly, download patches for Hectrol Tumbleweed compatibility, OJO BUENO Texture Pack compatibility & PrecisionCollisionClutterFix. Install only PrecisionCollisionClutterFix patch now.

19) Install Placed Creature Corpses use Vanilla Skeletons.
This little mod will prevent many weird glitches related to corpses, especially when playing a modded game.

20) Install Wrye Bash.
A NV version of popular Wrye Bash program. It' an essential tool you need to update leveled lists in your game. What is leveled list? Simply said, everything you can buy and loot - traders inventories, containers loot, items you can loot from fallen enemies and so on. The thing is game itself does not update leveled lists at all by default, so when you're adding mods that adds a new weapons and armors distributed to the world immersively, new items to traders and so on - you need to make a Bashed Patch to update leveled lists. You will need it later, when your mod list is finished. It's usage is very simple and will be explained below :) For now, just download the "Wrye Bash Beta - Standalone Executable" and unpack it anywhere on your PC (just not at Program Files).

21) Install FNVEdit.
An amazing program that allows you to edit mods directly. Download the archive, unpack it and place the folder anywhere, it doesn't matter. You will use it later.
This is very easy and comfy to use tool for fixing some certain mod conflicts and clean the mods (how to clean - look here). Remember that FNV DLC plugins should not be cleaned. It's also needed to make so called Merged Patch - special mod that will handle most of mod conflicts and merge same records. You need both Bashed and Merged Patches in your game. Here's a simple explanation why. Let's say several mods in your load order are affecting same NPC. One mod gives this NPC a new gun. Second mod gives this NPC a new facial details. Third mod gives him a fancy hat and several items that you can loot from him. If you'll be using only LOOT, only the last mod from these 3 will have effect, basing on the load order - so you will see him with a fancy hat only, without new armor, weapon and loot. With Bashed Patch, you will also be able to loot new items from him. And with Merged Patch, you will also see him with new facial details, new gun and that fancy hat, together (as it should be). Great compatibility and all mod features possible to see in game.
Another great feature of FNVEdit is, as it allows you to directly modify mod records, you can make balancing tweaks - for example, nerf some OP modded weapons/armors, or make them stronger, and so on.
Instructions of Merged Patch creation and usage will be provided below.

22) Install Merge Plugins.
Yes, it's hosted at Skyrim mods section - don't worry, it's working absolutely the same for NV. Download the archive and unpack it anywhere you want. Due to NV much lower .esp plugins limit and how amount of plugins are affecting stability, it's very much recommended to always keep amount of plugins below Perfectly, around That's why merging your mods is almost an essential thing for NV, especially if you'll be aiming on a heavy mod list. But dw, there's nothing hard in this at all. Details will be explained below.

JohnnyGuitar NVSE ==NEW== This mod introduces a few minor engine bug fixes and also is required for some mods below and few other mods in the guide. Asterra's Many Fixes Fixes a lot of things not covered by Yukichigai Unofficial Patch (YUP). Get the "Asterra's Many Fixes with Fixes For Minor Annoyances" mod version. Also install the "Collision Meshes compatibility" and get "Semi-Transparent Door Glass compatibility" file, but don't install it now. Logic and Consistency Fixes Collection of many improvements, most of them are not straight up bug fixes, but small improvements aimed at people who like attention to details - yet absolutely logical without doing something irrational. FOV Slider One of utility mods that I consider absolutelly essential. It adds an MCM menu with options for adjust World Field of View, Player Field of View, Pipboy Field of View and Terminal Screen Field of View. Also allows adjusting the Scope Scissor Amount, Weapon FOV Ratio, FOV Zoom time, Dialogue Zoom time and Dialogue delay time. Psycho and Slasher Bonus Damage Fix Vendors Containers Respawn Fix Get the "Simple Edition". Rebreather Tweaked Ammo Burst Case Count Fix ==NEW==Boxing Fatigue Fix and Tweaks ==NEW==Critical and Effects - Fixes and Tweaks ==NEW==Ammo Script Fixes ==NEW==Gauss Rifle VATS Fix - JIP ==NEW==JIP NVSE Sawed-Offs for Cowboy ==NEW==JIP NVSE Perk and Challenge Tweaks ==NEW==
Optional stability tips (in 99% of cases, you won't need them so just skip this part - use them only if you have stutters no matter what):
#1 - If you're on Win10 and settings provided for NVSR in the Files section are not giving proper effect no matter what (and only in that case), try NVTF - New Vegas Tick Fix. This mod is an alternative to NVSR - it greatly remakes part of its functionality (meaning you should not use NVSR if using this one). The drawback it's ofc doesn't provide same "coverage" as NVSR. Note: if you're using NVTF and you'll see it's giving you better peformance stutters-wise, but you have out of memory crashes with it, set the bModifyDirectXBehavior to 1.

#2 - ReservedMemorySizeMb= value in diseinuak4web.net - if you'll still be getting stutters with value, try diferent ones - , , ,

#3 - If you will be not satisfied with performance when using New Vegas Heap Replacer (dll plugin from step 6), you can try to rollback to "classic" heap replacer by NVSR - for this, simply uninstall New Vegas Heap Replacer and set bReplaceHeap to 1 instead of 0, in NVSR ini (\NVSE\plugins\sr_New_Vegas_Stutter_diseinuak4web.net)

#4 - In some very rare cases, for some rigs, ENB fps limiter causes stutters. It happens really rare, but if you are % sure you have made all the rest of stability adjustments correctly, this may be a culprit. In this case, try to disable fps limiter in diseinuak4web.net (by setting "EnableFPSLimit=" line to "false"), and instead, limit your fps to 59 using your GPU control panel or Nvidia Inspector (this option is recommended).

#5 - if you're experiencing stutters when rotating camera - use the "Camera rotation - Stutter Fix" ini file.

Done! You're ready to build your ultimate mod list - with a stable game & packed with tools needed. Hey ho! :)

Let's rock! First of all - let's give NV a look it deserves <3
Before you'll start, make on good habit right now - never download mods using the "Vortex" button on top - always go to Files section of the mod and see the file version there. Reason is very simple - "Vortex" button (it's not related with Vortex itself, if you're using NMM or MO, you only need to once choose "remember my choice" to browser when asked with which app you want to open such links and that's it) is downloading so called "default" version of the mod (which is the first from top in Files section) - but this "default" version of the file is not always what you actually need. Always download mod files directly from "Files" section.

&#;

Interface Mod - Revelation (Classic Fallout UI)It changes skin of ingame interface. Also the number of text lines was changed in certain places. Changed in this version: Barter, Container, Dialog, Repair Services, Message, Tutorial, Quantity, Reloading Bench, Workbench and Sleep. New scrollbars. Get ONLY the "Standalone mod version by Axonis - Vanilla UI Plus Revelation (New Vegas)" main file.

&#;

Rudy ENB for Fallout New Vegas
One of my favourite ENB presets for NV - as mentioned above, it has great balance between improved visuals and vanilla-friendly look, preserving the desert look on NV worldscape. It also has absolutely amazing interiors look, complete NV/TV/EV support and great performance. If you love the original color scheme of NV and want to keep it but also make much better - Rudy ENB is a great choice. It's also the most up-to-date ENB preset on NV nexus, carrying the latest ENB features.
Dreary ENB
Something like a direct opposite to look of Rudy, this preset is greatly inspited by Metro/Stalker series - it's bleak, dark and gives a deep cinematic look. Most likely the best cinematic/bleak preset for NV and one of my 3 favourite presets. If you love the desaturated visuals - try it for sure.
Note: don't forget to install "Fix for dark regional weathers" file from Update Files section.
Wanderer's ENB
Absolutely amazing ENB preset that greatly combines cinematic look for exteriors, but still having it close to original look, with beautiful interiors with great color/brightness balannce, and a great performance. On of my 3 favourite ENB presets ever and one I'm currently using now in my own walkthrough.
Note: if you want to have a Letterbox ("black bars") effect with it, just copy the "diseinuak4web.net" and "diseinuak4web.net" files from Rudy ENB \enbseries folder to your game \enbseries folder. This will add Letterbox and allow you to control it directly in game, via ENB GUI :)
Seven Sins ENB - Cinematic Highly Compatible Preset
This is ENB preset I made combining Rudy and Dreary, taking cinematic exteriors look from Dreary and interiors look from Rudy, with my minor edits. It's also fully compatible with all "visions" and has compatibility versions for Realistic Wasteland Lighting, Interior Lighting Overhaul and both of them together.
Note: this preset is also very performance-friendly itself, and I additionally made "ultra-performance" version which may help owners of low-end rigs.
Onix ENB
Really well-made preset with a touch of "photorealism" - bright and sharp look, at golden middle in terms of saturation.
Nevada ENB - Edition
Pretty similar to previous preset, but still a bit different at the same time, also with a bit more saturated interiors.
DYNAMO ENB
A beautiful, saturated vintage preset.
The ENB of the Apocalypse - New Vegas
"Bleached" and high-contrast one.
ENHANCED SHADERS - ENB
Old but good, balanced preset and pretty much vanilla-friendly.
Viradia ENB - Colors and Lighting enhancement
This preset can be best described as "Vanilla Plus ENB".
Overgrowth ENB
A bleak ENB preset, similar to Dreary in some way, but much more bright and not that much desaturated.
Zenith and Xenith ENB Remastered
Another one "Vanilla Plus" preset, with a bigger saturation level.
Exotic ENB
A really good mix between cold and warm tones at the same time.
DUST ENB
Grim, desaturated and dark ENB preset - another alternative for bleak/cinematic look lovers.
Old World ENB&#;
A preset between vibrance and realism, with a bit of vintage touch.
Fallout New Vegas Beautification Project ENB
A very saturated preset.
Forlorn ENB
Pretty original preset - almost without any colors in it at all.
Midhrastic ENB for Fallout 3&#;
Yes, this preset is hosted on Fallout 3 Nexus, but it [does] work for New Vegas without issues. Place only the next files from it's folder: \enbseries folder, diseinuak4web.net, diseinuak4web.net, diseinuak4web.net and diseinuak4web.net into your NV folder, don't grab other files.
This one also will be a good option for owners of low-end rigs.
NOKENBPreset
Performance-friendly ENB preset with mixed realistic/cinematic look and a bit "blue" tint.
Seasons of the Abyss New Vegas Edition
Saturated preset with "washed out" look.
Viva La Atmos ENB ==NEW== A simple, bleak yet vibrant ENB for the Mojave with ReShade no top. George's ENB ==NEW== Bright, realistic preset. COBALT ENB - RUST ENB ==NEW== Cinematic preset in two versions. For the Rust version, there's an optional addon available. Broken Paradise ENB ==NEW== One of my personal top-5 favourite ENB presets atm. Bright and cinematic during the day, dark at night and in interiors. Note: doesn't properly support NV/EV/TV and minor features like letterbox/vignette, but you can simply inject these by taking respective files from \enbseries folder in my Seven Sins ENB, dropping them in this preset \enbseries folder and approving overwriting. Minimal ENB ==NEW== Stands for its name. Vanilla-like, very performance-friendly.

World textures and flora:
NMCs_Texture_Pack_For_New_Vegas
Really big and qualitative texture pack for NV and perfect choice to start with.
Go to Files tab: download and install MEDIUM files, namely the "NMCs Textures NV MEDIUM Pack Part 1 of 2 FOR NMM" and "NMCs Textures NV MEDIUM Pack Part 2 of 2 FOR NMM". After that, install "NMC New Vegas Patch for ALL Sized packs" file.
That's an important detail here - even if you have a monster rig, still install MEDIUM pack - you'll see no visual difference in regular gameplay compared to LARGE version, but save a lot of VRAM.
If your GPU has less than 3GB of VRAM - install the SMALL version, namely the "NMCs Textures NV SMALL Pack SINGLE FILE FOR NMM".

OJO BUENO Texture Pack
Go to Files tab: download and install HIGH version of the mod. Pretty much the same as with NMC, you'll see no visual difference in regular gameplay compared to ULTRA version, but save a lot of VRAM.
After you installed this mod, install compatibility patch from "Collision Meshes" (the "OJO BUENO Texture Pack compatibility" file) mod you downloaded earlier.
If your GPU has less than 3GB of VRAM - install the PERFORMANCE version.
After you've installed the mod itself, make sure to install "Ojo Bueno Vending Machine Update ULTRA" from Optional Files. Yes, exactly the Ultra - it's a texture for only 2 objects, so even with best possible textures this won't affect your performance in general, and those Nuca Cola machinces deserve the best!

Wasteland Flora Overhaul
Does how it's called - a great HD overhaul of vanilla flora + new trees and plants placed here and there without breaking the original look of Mojave.
Now, about the mod versions. There are 3 of them - Fertile, Dead and ESP-less. I'm personally the Dead version - it completely preserves the original look, but it's completely a matter of taste. Fertile version adds more flora with more beautiful trees and plants models, but as can be guessed from it's name, there are more trees and many of those trees are green and more "alive"-looking.
If your GPU has less than 3GB of VRAM - Fertile version may hit your FPS more noticably, so choose between it and Dead version for performance sake.. Before actually using it in walkthrough, go to some places with noticable amount of trees and mark your fps there, save and exit. Install the Dead version and check fps again with it. If you won't see any noticable loss (~5 fps is fine) - good, you're fine. If, depending on your GPU, you will see noticable fps hit - remove the Dead and install ESP-less version, it should be fine.
Installation instructions for each version:
Dead version - Install "Wasteland Flora Overhaul (Dead) " from Old Files
Fertile version - Install "Wasteland Flora Overhaul vb" from Main Files.
ESP-less version - Install "Wasteland Flora Overhaul ESP-less and LOD-less" from Main Files.

Cow Food(OPTIONAL)
This mod is purely OPTIONAL - look into Files page, try different mod versions, look if you like the grass in game. My ini settings are already covering grass density, so for simply more dense vanilla grass you don't need it. This mod will give slightly different variety of grasses and so, visually different grass density - maybe you'll like it more than just with ini settings. It also has grees grass textures if you want "summer/alive" look of New Vegas (which is not "lore-friendly" ofc, but still may fit someones taste). This mod plays greatly with Fertilve version of Wasteland Flora Overhaul - if you don't want "spring" visual overhaul for your game - you don't need it.

Now, let's go for weapons, armors, creatures and effects:
HD Hi-Res World View Weapon Textures
A base weapon retexture pack which we'll overwrite with others listed below - it's still needed as it covers some textures not covered by other mods.
Weapon Mods Expanded - WMX
This mod is actually mostly a gameplay one, bot for proper work with other mods together, we need to install it now.
WMX is absolutely essential mod that adds modifications to each and every weapon in the game (which was not possible in vanilla and many weapons simply didn't have any modifications at all) [including] melee weapons as well.
Important: after you installed it, download DLC & EVE patches (install DLC patches now choosing the DLC merged option and EVE patch after EVE installation below), also download Weapon Retexture Project (WRP) patch, but we'll install it AFTER both WMX and WRP, there are special instruction for this, provided later. Also, make sure to load WMX after Asurah Reanimation Pack (if you'll be using it). Lastly, make sure that "diseinuak4web.net" plugin is loaded in the very end of your load order (after Bashed and Merged patches as well). Lastly, grab a WMX patch from optional files here==NEW==.
IMPACT + Compatibility Edition patch
As it's named - covers impact fx and fixes tons of illogical impact visuals. Install the mod itself first, then overwrite with Compatibility Edition file.
EVE - Essential Visual Enhancements
A mod from the same author that covers huge amount of various effects - fire, shooting effects, weapons, explosions etc. Also make sure to install "EVE Fiery Fix" from Optional Files, and grab this neat patch==NEW== for it.
Note: after you've installed this mod, install WMX EVE patch (you've already downloaded it from WMX page, choose "WMX-EVE-AllDLCMerged" option in installer). You can also optionally install laser rifle recolor.
Enhanced Blood Textures
Amazing mod retexturing all blood visuals.
EXE - Effect teXtures Enhanced
Badass mod from author of Impact and EVE - all 3 mods from this author are "crossing" in coverage of some textures, and installed in this exact order will give you the best result.
Note: after installation, check water surfaces in game and if you'll have pixelated water textures - DELETE files in data/textures/water folder
Weapon Retexture Project - WRP
Great mod that retextures most of weapons with a stunning quality.
Important moment: install "Weapon Retexture Project" version from Old Files section. Using the "old" version doesn't mean it's bad - it simply covers a bit less than latest version, [BUT] - the main point here and in exact installation order of mods starting from WMX till this one is simple - one can have either not all mods listed here and so, much lesser coverage, or follow certain installation order and few more simple instructions to have the biggest retexturing coverage and everything compatible. In the end, you'll have the biggest coverage and the best quality.
Now, the special instructions (nothing hard, don't worry): go to this page and follow the instructions (showed on screenshot here just in case). Basically, you need to install 4 separate retexture mods, then delete diseinuak4web.net and singleshot_diseinuak4web.net files from your \Data folder and install WMX-WRP patch. That's it!
IHWT - Improved Heavy Weapons Textures
Overwrite everything BESIDES WMX and WRP, also install EVE and WMX patches after, namely the "IHWT - GatlingLaser for EVE" and "IHWT - Tesla WMX Patch" files.
