Any essential New Vegas mods?

Just picked up New Vegas from Gamers Gate Bethesda weekend and was wondering if there was any mods that I shouldn't play without. Also looking for some graphical enhancements too :P

Project Nevada NMC's Texture Pack New Vegas Bounties (1 and 2)Toxic-Seahorse

Pretty much what I was thinking. Might also want to try out World of Pain, too. Pretty much just adds an absolute shitload of new locations, including buildings and huge  underground system with super hard enemies, and NPCs, with new dialog and quests. Other than that, just browse the top files list at the New Vegas Nexus, and get whatever looks interesting.

- Bounties 1/2 (adds more side missions that ae fun to do after a few missions or afte exploring)

- More Perks (Way mo choices for what perks you want when you level up)

- MTUI (small but veyr veyr important mod imo, fixed the UI)

- Beauty Pack PLUS - Project MIKOTO Hair-Eyes-Presets (more options when creating a character can only be good right?)

- Mission Mojave - Ultimate Edition

- Classic Fallout Weapons

- Beyond Boulde Dome (more missions like Bounties)

- New Vegas Restoration

- Enhanced Blood Textures

- Check the top popular graphics mods and see what looks best for you (NMCs Texture Pack For New Vegas/Poco Bueno Texture Pack)

Some others you might want, PERK EVERY LEVEL and also if you want a different compannion check the mod section on nexus)

NVSE - New Vegas Script Extender is a must for many mods to function smoothly.

New Vegas Uncut - Outside Bets


New Vegas Uncut 8 - Welcome to Fabulous New Vegas

New Vegas Uncut 7 - Pacers Gambit

New Vegas Uncut 6 - If It Wasnt For Betsy

New Vegas Uncut - Freeside Open
Revamps Freeside as one single worldspace and re-enables large amounts of cut content to take advantage of how the area was supposed to be.


The stip Open

The Strip Open is an attempt to restore the Vegas Strip worldspace in Fallout: New Vegas to what was the developer's original intent; namely a large, visually spectacular open area.

New Vegas Uncut 5 - A Wilder Wasteland

New Vegas Uncut 4 - A Thorny Situation

New Vegas Uncut 3 - A Van Graff Scorned

New Vegas Uncut 2 - A Koch and Bohr Story

New Vegas Uncut 1 - Rotface to Riches

*NPC Project - 188 Trading Post

This MOD intends to give the 188 Trading Post its NPCs back. In fact many of them were cut out or disabled from the game for no reason because they all work fine. I wanted this outpost to become not only more populated just for the purpose of being populated but also for the reason to fulfill its role as crossroads between two important roads in the Mojave Wasteland!

*NMC's Texture Pack

*added more mods 2

Wow thanks guys! Got a whole collection of awesome mods now. So excited to playthrough it again on the PC with a buncha mods!
