    Project Nevada is a great mod. Adds a lot. FWE also good.

    I found NV to be a lot more involving than FO3. It wasn't quite as atmospheric, but the lack of nuclear damage allowed them to imbue the Mojave with a lot more personality than the Wasteland. Though the Wasteland was a bit more atmospheric and post-apocalyptic.

    i heard there are some nice mods for new vegas which enchant graphics? npc models? are they hard to install?
    i loved gta4 mods, but installing them is the biggest anal job ever!

    modding skyrim was a lot easier than what I remember modding fo3 to be like

    and im pretty sure you use the same Nexus mod manager and Boss for all 3 games so it shouldn't be too much trouble

    And get the Nexus Mod Manager. It makes installing most mods a breeze.

    no harder than non-steam iirc

    tbh the hardest part of it was always the loading order of the various mods you have installed and they have something called Boss now which will read your load order from the nexus mod manager and will reorganise them to avoid conflicts.
    can't do all the mods but it has a master list of the most popular ones so it should make the entire process a lot simpler.

    I'll be honest, I never did. I usually download mods one at a time. One thing I did notice, if there are really large mods, like NMC's texture pack, you're better off downloading manually and adding to the Mod Manager, instead of using the download manager. Since big ones are in a few parts, the manager only seems to download the first one.

    i have the goty edition discs and I had no truble at all

    actually that's not true, I had to disable GFWL because it interefered with some mods

    pretty sure the steam version is fine but no actual experience with it

    fallout 3 is probably the more technically proficient game, new vegas is the more fun one.

    I think beth forgot that fallout always had a lot of humour. fo3 is very grim

    I mean, I played the crap out of both, but I have better memories of nv.







    and nv has less copy pasta subway tunnels.. ugh
