General information
- Fallout wiki
- Steam Community Discussions

Version differences
Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition is the complete edition with all DLC.
Loading DLC
- Once a DLC pack is bought and downloaded, it must be enabled from the splash screen of Fallout: New Vegas, under the
Data Files
menu option. Make sure each DLC pack is checked.
Essential improvements
Mods
- Fallout New Vegas Nexus - the most popular host for almost all Fallout New Vegas mods.
- Nexus Mod Manager - the best mod manager for Bethesda games, making the process of installing mods much easier.
- Maximum amount of enabled plugins (mods) is 150. Having more than 149 plugins enabled may lead to crashes on startup, missing animations, textures and sounds.
Yukichigai Unofficial Patch
- Concentrates only on bug fixes without game changing effects
- Is compatible with all mods, as long as it loads directly after the FalloutNV and DLC .esm files
New Vegas Anti-Crash
- Requires New Vegas Script Extender
- Reduces crash frequency (especially in the case of heavy modding)
- Minor general performance improvements
Mission Mojave - Ultimate Edition
- Is not compatible with other patch mods, like Yukichigai Unofficial Patch.
- Requires all DLCs to be downloaded and installed in order to work.
- A huge bugfix compilation with about 27,000 fixes.
- A few questionable fixes that are not entirely vanilla
JSawyer
- Requires all DLCs to be downloaded and installed in order to work.
- A "general difficulty tweak and bug fix mod" by the creator of the game, JSawyer.
New Vegas Uncut
- Mod author MoBurma has listed content which has been cut from the game due to time constraints.
- Restores content from the game in a number of individual mods.
- Many mods in the series are not compatible with each other, and are not necessarily suited to use in a full playthrough.
