Viva New Vegas

A Comprehensive 2020 Fallout New Vegas Modding Guide


Optional Gameplay Mods


These are small and simple mods that I didn't think were major enough to be included in the main sections of the guide. They can easily be added on top of any mod setup and don't require any conflict resolution. Inversely, they can also be skipped just as easily without messing anything up:
