I have dead money but never tried it.
I really stopped playing because it crashed too. But the new patch fixed that so I wanna finish the game.

I got to but gave up because I was getting a C2D every 10 mins.
Now I can play for HOURS without a C2D; in fact I've only gotten ONE since the patch

So what mods should I use.
I run a amd 965 (4.6 GHz) with a single 570 (stock clocks im afraid of my VRM).
8 GB of ram.

Currently I got project nevada, 4gb patch, NVSE, and stutter remover.
But I want MOAR!
What do? Whats good?

A few that i like:

That's all for now. There's others, but if I listed all of them I'd be here all day posting links

A few that I like to the point that I don't like the idea of playing without them...

Imp's More Complex Needs
Powered Power Armor
Classic Fallout Weapons
Weapon Mods EXpanded
NV_ST Traits and Perks
Closer to Fallout - True Threshold

Be warned that the True Threshold mod can make things quite a bit harder, as it eliminates DT bleed-through. Nothing that a good load of Max Charge or AP ammo can't handle, but you can't just power past everything with normal rounds all the time. And it makes getting in a scrap with the Brotherhood and Deathclaws a great deal riskier.

Two quest mods that are cool. (One is mine. )

More Perks
Nevada Sky (I recommend URWL version)
A world of Pain
XFO-NV
Arwen's treak (for better AI)
Detailed Normals - Texture Pack (have problems with Rex's Search and Mark and Boone's perk, but just eye sour no C2D)

http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=39912 you go, nice and lore friendly outfits both female & male.

Well... as far as sound mods go... here's something lore friendly - http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34919

... and sort of not so much lore friendly =P Wacky Wasteland Sounds ftw http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=41283

Do you care much about models? Textures? Anything you might be looking for, or looking to avoid?

...And speaking of sound, you can't get any better than http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37029...from the maker of GNR: More Where That Came From.

I almost forgot, CASM is the best auto save mod I ever encountered in Fallout 3 and NV
