To get you started, try these mods. I have them running at the moment and the game looks fantastic, its a bit of work but well worth it. Then, as mentioned above, browse the newvegasnexus site and have a try of some others


Hi Res Textures:

Install this first -

ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated - the easiest way to get the game to recognise textures you add
http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35935

Then install -

4 Aces texture pack (you have to d/l it in parts)
http://www.moddb.com/mods/4aces-fnv-hires

Followed by -

NMC's texture pack
http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35645

and finally

New Vegas Redesigned - I love this mod, the guy that made it has redone nearly all the faces in the game to make them more realistic.

Weather:

As mentioned above - Nevada Skies
http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35998

CLO custom light overlay (gives the image more depth)
http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36030

Depth of field -
http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35589


Misc:

Enables the game to use 4GB ram if yopu have it
http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35262

Fallout mod manager - I only use it to organise the order in which the mods load (The load order goes from top to bottom, always load Nevada Skies last)

Enjoy!

Thanks.

Any chance you can package them up and stick them on a .torrent file for me please?

That might be about the laziest thing I've ever heard! He's already provided you with links to the download pages so what the problem with just clicking on them?!

 

[Metalface Mark]

lol.

Because my internet runs crazy slow whilst downloading like that, while if i use a torrent i can set it to a set speed and still do things like normal good reasoning i say

Ha! no sorry, don't have the time for that and its best you read the instructions carefully as you install each mod, it's not straight forward.

Use a download manager then.

 

[Kavalree]

Use a download manager then.

Any recomendations? I use Firefox.

 

[Clum]

There's a load of freeware ones like jdownloader and IDM. Not used any myself for http downloading, but those two are the big names so would look into them. You'll be able to set maximum transfer rates per download from the settings menu. I think IDM integrates with firefox as well, but could be wrong there.

As a long time Oblivion / Fallout 3 mod user, I would definitely recommend Fellout, Perk Every Level, MTUI and Centered 3rd Person Camera (this makes the camera behave more like the default Oblivion camera).

All the mods the other guys have mentioned and practically everything on this list

http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/top/

shows the top 25 mods but if you search the catagories you can find plenty more, dont forget to get FOMM as well as it makes things very easy.
