In this article, we shall go over the five best Fallout New Vegas mods that you should check out and install before you begin playing.
Fallout New Vegas is almost 15 years old, yet the game has stood the test of time, maintaining a loyal (and rabid, if you were to believe Jonathan Nolan) fanbase. Part of the reason for the game’s longevity is its modding community. This robust community constantly provides the game with fun mods that range from graphical and performance tweaks to uncut content and entirely new maps.
If you’re a new player looking to jump into New Vegas with mods or a returning player looking to freshen up your experience, our list should have you covered. In this article, we shall go over the five best Fallout New Vegas mods that you should check out.
1) Fallout: New California Mod
Specially catered to those who have run through Fallout New Vegas once already, Fallout: New California is a brand-new game disguised as a mod. Created by Radian-Helix Media and uploaded by Thaiauxn on NexusMods, the mod is a brand new story added to the game, intended to serve as a prequel to New Vegas. While the quality of the story does not match that of New Vegas, New California is still pretty good. It gives fans of the series a chance to get lost in this beautiful world once again.
2) Tale of Two Wastelands Mod
Created by the Tale of Two Wastelands team and uploaded by pintocat on Mod:Pub, the Tale of Two Wastelands mod merges the maps of both New Vegas and Fallout 3 to create a third new (yet familiar) map. This lets you play both games in a single playthrough and experience the two stories as a cohesive unit. The team has also balanced the mod to incorporate this merger, offering a smooth experience for players. While you can use this on a first-time playthrough, we recommend picking it up on a replay.
3) New Vegas Uncut Mod
It is an open secret that Fallout New Vegas was short on time and had a lot of content cut. Created and uploaded by MoBurma on NexusMods, the New Vegas Uncut for Fallout New Vegas restores all the lost content, letting you experience the game as it was once intended to be. The cut content helps expand the lore of this tragic world, giving you insight into the vision of the developers. Once again, we do not recommend using this mod on a first playthrough, as the cut content can seem incoherent with some story elements in the base game.
4) Fast VATS and Kill Camera Mod
Let’s be blunt: Fallout New Vegas was released in 2008 and is very much a product of its time when it comes to gameplay mechanics. If you’re someone coming in from Fallout 4, the combat can feel slow and clunky and downright unenjoyable at times.
The Fast VATS and Kill Camera mod, created and uploaded by JimmyCM123 on NexusMods, shortens the VATS and kill camera process to keep you in the action. This ensures that the combat, arguably the game’s weakest part, never overstays its welcome and is over quickly.
5) Weapons of the New Millenia Mod
The final mod on this list is the Weapons of the New Millenia mod. This popular mod was created by ‘Millenia – Naky – many others’ for NexusMods. This mod adds a whole new arsenal of weapons to Fallout New Vegas, adding some much-needed variety and punch to the game’s combat. Weapons of the New Millenia mod is perfect for both new and returning players alike, giving them a selection of 45 new weapons to choose from. The mod also adds a quest tied to these weapons for those looking for further content.
