Cut Down on the Scrolling
This game gives you a lot of info to digest, from the dialogue menus to going through your Pip-Boy. Paired with the large text, and you’re stuck scrolling for just about everything. It’s cool if that doesn’t bother you, but if you want more on the screen in Fallout: New Vegas, the MTUI mod is perfect for you.
Granted, the textissmaller. If you’re okay with reading it, then there’s no harm in using the mod to cut down on the scrolling. It’s just a quicker way to find what you’re looking for.

It feels like it’s always been a part of the game.

7Fallout Character Overhaul
A More Diverse Wasteland
Some games, no matter how good they initially look, can benefit from some graphic overhauls. And that’s what the Character Overhaul does for Fallout: New Vegas. Textures are higher in quality, but best of all, the NPCs will look different. The enhanced mod includes numerous headmeshes that can change different aspects, from facial shape to race.

6JSawyer Ultimate Edition
Everything That Could Have Been
PushTheWinButton
A game as expansive as New Vegas taking less than two years in development is bound to feel lacking in certain areas. It appears the devs thought the same as project lead Joshua Sawyer created his unique mod to address things they wished would have made it to the final game.
This one in particular enhances and expands on his mod, making it less rough and more polished. The heart of the mod remains, such as putting in better balancing, thus making it slightly more difficult in the best way.
5NMCS Texture Pack
A More Realistic Landscape
NeilMc_NMC
The Mojave Wasteland certainly resembles an area with nuclear fallout. But even with all the rust, peeling, and holes, it lacks a little depth. Thankfully, the NMCS Texture Pack immerses you deeper into this world with enhanced textures.
The detailing is more precise with less blur. Streets look realistically weathered, as does the wallpaper. Who knew something so simple could make a game like New Vegas even more exciting?
4Dust Survival Simulator
A Survival Horror Experience
Ever hoped that New Vegas was closer to a post-apocalyptic survival horror? The Dust mod does a good job at capturing that bleak (and sometimes unsettling) vibe. It takes place 20 years after the main game, and it’s such a major mod that it gives you a completely new experience in which you must survive and escape this deadly wasteland.
15 Best Mods For The Sims 4
What’s a Sim game without mods?
There are no factions to join or quests. It’s just a survival game mode. So, you can put your skills to the test and see if you can make it out alive. To sell this vibe, the majority of the vanilla game is enhanced from the NPCs to the weather.
3Project Nevada
Gameplay, Balance, and Everything In Between
Back when the modding community first dug into Fallout: New Vegas, Project Nevada kicked off the major mods that adjusted the entire sandbox elements of the game. There are different modules, so you can change what you want. Ever wanted to see how cyberware mixes with a post-apocalyptic setting? There’s a module for that.
Or maybe you just want more challenging gameplay? You can set that up too. It is pretty heavy as far as mods go, but as you can pick and choose what you want beyond the core elements, it’s a fun way to experiment.
2Brave New World
More Individualized NPCs
The BNW Team
Many games suffer from having same-face syndrome. Meaning: a lot of NPCs look like identical twins. Not only that, but many of these remarkably talented voice actors go on to voice multiple characters. So, not only do we see the same people, we hear them too. With the Brave New World mod, the Mojave Wasteland feels bigger than ever.
NPCs have a nice overhaul that gives them more noticeable and unique features. Plus, there are thousands of new lines with over 100 NPCs voiced. It’s a cool addition that adds a layer of realism as you travel and meet new people.
1Fallout - New California
Feels Like a Whole New Game
Radian-Helix Media
Expand the world of Fallout with the New California mod. This doesn’t add different elements to New Vegas. Instead, it serves as a prequel, offering you a new game altogether. There is new voiced dialogue, a new playable character, and a unique storyline.
All of it leads into New Vegas. So, if you’re looking for a mod that acts like DLC, you’ve found it. Prepare to spend a lot more time in the wasteland.
