50 Best Mods for Fallout New Vegas

When Fallout 4 was announced, everyone was just in shock. Some are happy to see a new part of their favorite series, while others believe it will be a mess. We can't predict, as everything is still ahead. In the meantime, let's recall some modifications for Fallout: New Vegas to refresh our memory on what exactly is worth installing on your computer before waiting for the new part of Fallout while drooling on your favorite T-shirt.

The release of the Fallout series has reignited players' interest in the latest parts of the series. If you prefer the original duology, we recommend launching New Vegas. However, over the past 14 years since its release, it has noticeably aged. But with the help of modifications, it can be given a relatively modern look and add new content.

In this list, we have compiled modifications that will allow you to comfortably play New Vegas on modern hardware.

If you plan to experiment with many modifications, we recommend installing The Mod Configuration Menu. It allows you to enable and disable mods directly in the game with the press of a button.

New Vegas image enhancements will require a much more powerful computer than the one capable of running the original game. But the result of installing graphics mods is comparable to the effect of a full-fledged remaster.

Excellent shooting mechanics are the main advantage of Fallout 4 over New Vegas. After installing this set of modifications, you will noticeably improve the shooter component in the game.

Instead of the animation mods from this list, you can install the modification The Ezekiel Project — Interactive Animations and Combat Realism.

This modification increases the number of NPCs and enemies in the open world of New Vegas. Moreover, if you actively support one particular faction, its representatives will appear more frequently.

Due to the limited capabilities of the PS3 and Xbox 360, a lot of content did not make it into the release version of the game. You can restore it with this mod. It brings back the system of random events and many NPCs.

The interface in the original New Vegas looks atmospheric, but in practice, it is not very convenient. The Pipboy Holo Panel ESPless modification makes the interface more modern and practical.

Replaces the standard map in the Pip-Boy with a detailed one. It will be much easier to navigate.

After installing this mod, you will be able to continue playing after receiving one of the endings. Moreover, the modification takes your choices into account and changes the game world depending on the decisions made.

If the content of the original game and all the expansions seemed insufficient to you, pay attention to the New California mod. It adds a new storyline about a resident of Vault 18, with dozens of quests, unique characters, new locations, and the ability to make decisions that will affect the further narrative.

This mod is clearly inspired by the quest Come Fly With Me. During the playthrough, you will help Max build a rocket that should take him to the moon. The storyline is really long and eventful, so you definitely won't get bored.

Another story mod that offers dozens of hours of intense gameplay. Here, like in Fallout 4, you will have to choose one of three factions and lead it to victory over the others. One of the features of the modification is fully functional vehicles.

Formally, this mod adds a new Vault to the game. But it turned out to be so large that it will take you up to ten hours of real time to fully explore it. Moreover, the location is tied to an interesting plot with its own secrets, which is neatly integrated into the Fallout universe lore.

A modification that adds two dozen new quests to the game. They will appear as you explore the Mojave Desert. Some of them will take you to completely new locations that were added with this mod.

If you have already completed all the quests and have nothing to do, you can participate in the hunt for particularly dangerous criminals. We saw something similar in the Red Dead Redemption duology. The mod consists of three parts, each with its own set of bandits and related stories.

An excellent choice if you want to increase the number of submachine guns, pistols, and rifles in the game. The mod adds four dozen new guns, with unique appearances and shooting sounds.

This modification lowers the maximum level to 33, makes it harder to gain experience points, makes items heavier, and much more. Now, to survive in the Mojave Desert, you will have to plan your actions in advance and allocate resources wisely. The mod is designed for players who have already completed Fallout: New Vegas on maximum difficulty.

This mod truly changes the game, conducting a massive rebalance, adding new features, and much more. You can choose only certain modules, sparing the player from having to endure parts of the modification they are not interested in. Modules can be configured directly in the settings, which are very responsive. What modules will you get if you install this mod?

For example, the Cyberware module adds implants for various body parts that can enhance your stats and provide additional capabilities. The Rebalance module significantly adjusts a vast number of game details, balancing it to perfection. The Equipment module, unsurprisingly, adds a bunch of new weapons and armor. All this will be yours as soon as you download the mod.

Adds a lot of well-crafted locations to the game that will delight you with new NPCs, enemies, and items that you can collect while traveling through these wastelands. The modification uses only game resources, so the mod weighs very little. The Dungeon complex will delight you with new quests and traders, with whom you can always chat about the hardships of life in the Wasteland.

This mod is compatible with the first one on our list, as well as many others, which you can read about below. The mod is still supported, and the authors have many plans for their creation in the distant future. Be sure to try it and share with others how good the mod turned out to be. Also, be sure to download the patches that remove all compatibility errors.

Do you love perks in Fallout? From time to time, pictures with non-existent perks that contain some subtle or not-so-subtle hint still appear in various communities. Everyone liked and still likes perks, but what to do if you want even more of them? Install the More Perks mod, as it adds 75 entirely new abilities to the game! A huge number, to say the least.

How about the Glow and Smile perk, which will make you much more eloquent during the daytime? There's also the Cockroach Lover perk, which will make radroaches appear at your feet every day. Run Like the Wind! will speed up your running, and Blind Luck will make you much luckier. You can't miss trying all this, especially with a mod that increases your maximum level from 30 to 100.

Weapon modifications are also one of the calling cards of Fallout, but there aren't that many of them. You can increase their number with the Weapon Mods Expanded mod, which adds over 80 types of modifications for both firearms and melee weapons. In most cases, the appearance of the weapon will be changed! And that's always a good thing.

You can find weapon modifications from various merchants, and if you don't understand where exactly it goes, a couple of notes will appear in your inventory along with it, describing the exact purpose of the upgrade. For convenience, the notes are sorted into two different types. The mod is also occasionally updated, as it has gained recognition from players and has not been abandoned by its creators.

This mod reworks all the visual effects in the game, making them juicier, brighter, and more beautiful in the truest sense of the word. Everything is done at the highest level, as the mod was developed over several years. Not only the effects of energy weapons are reworked, but everything in general. The impact on characters has also been changed!

The mod developers are also keen on reworking models of some weapons and armor, the physics of flying enemy pieces, and much more. In their spare time from development, they created and finally released the game War for the Overworld, which you can buy on Steam or, of course, download from torrents.

Willow is one of the best companions for Fallout: NV that you can find. She has 1200 voiced dialogues, and additional voice acting was done not only for her but also for other characters related to her quest. She has a story that she will gradually tell. Her main skills are Speech, Survival, and Barter, and she loves firearms very much.

And Willow is very beautiful. Isn't that supposed to be part of a good companion? She also cooks wonderfully and will definitely feed you with her cooking. And if you are a very big pervert, you can have a romance with her and engage in dark sex. She can also put on glasses, stick a cigarette in her mouth, and be very cool. Great skill!

What do you think about a mod that adds new hostile creatures to the game? If you like that idea, be sure to download the Monster Mod. There are over 150 monsters in total, which greatly diversify the world of Fallout and make it more alive. Just be ready, because this living world can make you dead. Be careful!

Monsters, by the way, have started spawning much more frequently, which has done its part in bringing the world to life. The downside of the mod is that unlike other mods, it has long been forgotten, but it is still quite large, and you can't blame the developers for not working on it anymore.

This mod adds over 50 different types of weather that constantly change. Sunny weather and rainy, snow and sandstorms, and much more. The developers managed to make the world even more alive, and together with the mod for new creatures, you can completely bring all this to life.

The mod adds a new faction to the game — the Enclave, which you can join. The faction can offer you a sizable quest consisting of 5 parts (almost like in Gothic), a new companion, a couple of additional quests, many new interiors, and in general, a new small world. You can join the faction from level 15 by meeting Benny. The questline is unique and very well made. Be sure to try it!

Didn't it seem to you that taking only one companion is, at the very least, silly? If it did, then the More Follower For New Vegas mod will fix this situation and allow you to take two or more people into your team, turning a couple of shooters into a real squad for exterminating all sorts of filth. But that's all that can be said about this mod. Download and try it!
