Right...
Sorry for bringing this up but after having played most of the game on PS3 I am now starting it on PC. Would like to mod for a better experience but don't really know what my computer is capable of and what to get.
I have a Geforce GTX 460 1gb in my computer which consists of 8 gb ram, Intel Core2Duo e E7500 2.94 ghz processor. And Windows 7 64-bit version.
Are the first posts in this thread still updated and valid?
There are 23 wonderful pages in this thread full of information that just confuses me.
Can somebody please give me some advice or should I go back and finish the game on PS3?
Play on PC, Do you know anything about modding Fallout 3-Skyrim-New Vegas? If not, its going to take some time to figure it out but its well worth it. I probably spent 5-10 hours figuring it all out and another 15-20 just messing with mods. But i also went a little crazy with how many I got. It was actually pretty fun
Unless you already know, here is where you start:
Your going to need New Vegas script extender and Fallout4GB (they are both Very easy to install)
http://nvse.silverlock.org/. Just follow the Install.
Fallout 4GB:
http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/35262 Just download and you use this to launch FNV from now on.
Once again just read and do as it tells.
I use Fallout Mod manager to install most of my mods, its easy, has a bunch of nice features like archive invalidation and Boss built in. Boss helps put mods in the right order (though not always and thats something you will have to watch out for) Problem with Fallout Mod manager is that it likes to crash after adding mods (the mods still get added and still work it just has a pointless crash) I have seen fixes for it but I was already balls deep in mods and didn't want to take the chance. The rest of Gaf might have some better recommendations.

Just post whatever you need help with. Start with these two Mods:
http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/43135/ NMC Texture pack, go with the small one.
http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/35998/ Nevada Skies
After that, pretty much any mod is a piece of cake.
