IGN FALLOUT NEW VEGAS MODS MOD

As in Fallout 3 and Skyrim, a must-have mod is the Wasteland Flora Overhaul by Vurt. On top of all these extra texture mods and new character models, it's easy to add some extra detailed flair to the Mojave desert. For our non-human (or formerly human) friends, we also installed Ghouls Hires Retexture and Securitron Hires Retexture (both from Macintroll) and the Improved Robots Texture Pack by Tau34RUS. Another great option for revamping the in-game characters is FNV Redesigned, which gives the NPC character models a softer, more realistic quality. It also includes a 'Playable Races' option which can be activated if, instead of a boring 'normal' person you want to experience life in New Vegas as a Ghoul or mutated human. These files reshape and retexture almost every NPC you'll encounter, from Sunny Smiles and Easy Pete to each Poweder Ganger and Fiend. To enhance our interactions with the various NPCs throughout New Vegas, we installed Drumber's excellent mod, the Fallout Character Overhaul. To upgrade the weapons, armor and miscellaneous clutter found throughout the wasteland, we installed Millenia's Weapon Retexture Project, Improved Heavy Weapons Textures by Tau34RUS, Macintroll's Wasteland Clothing Hires Retexture, and the Neat Clutter Retextures mod by Mental Gear. If you're wary about framerate issues or overloading on too many textures, both mods have lower-resolution versions available. The largest version NMC's pack updates many in-game textures with 2K variants, and Ojo Bueno's mod ups the ante to 4K, and both packs do a great job of revitalizing much of the in-game world. To that end, we installed a combination of NMC's Texture Pack and the OJO BUENO High Quality Texture Workshop. One of the first steps to overhauling any game, be it New Vegas, Fallout 3 or Skyrim, is to update the textures for as many objects in the environment as possible.
