Which modmanager should I use? I’ve seen that Vortex can be used but the majority of people I’ve seen don’t like it. I’d like to mod Skyrim and Darkest Dungeon

      The different mod loaders really confuse me. Do Vortex and MO2 offer pretty much the same thing? Will it show on Steam that I’m playing Skyrim/New Vegas etc. and log my hours ok (rather than saying I’m playing the mod loader)?

      Follow up question: What mods should I get for Fallout NV if I were to try this out? (I’ve never actually finished that game)

        If you never finished it, I’d recommend just sticking with Bug Fixers and Stability Mods.

        The game holds it’s own without changes.

        I’d even hold off on graphical mods as there’s little that can be done to improve the visuals without complete texture overhauls. And they tend to just make the contrasts more apparent and can cause even more instability to an already extremely unstable game.

            I think a “Top Mods” search should cover you fairly well.

            https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/top/

            You want the Scrips Extender first and foremost. Most mods depend on it.

            The 4GB Patcher is also a must, if I remember correctly

            After that Yukichigai Unofficial Patch - YUP should cover most of the bugs. (I can’t remember exactly how much it covers, just that it’s was an essential mod back when I was screwing around with it)

            Other than that it’s a bit of trial and error. If a problem pops up or if one persists, look around for more specific patches.
