This is a list containing all mods that are useful or good or both, so that you can enjoy it without having to search through ten thousand mods.

This is still WIP, and will always remain so, because I'll keep updating it with new good mods.
Actually, i just named it WIP because its pretty. Seriously.
I think i covered a lot of mods, but I'm just one person (or am i?), and if you think i skipped a good mod, let me know.

================================================
This is a Mod Suggestion section, so if you are a modder, and you don't really have any ideas, check here:

-Dead Eye: Add the Dead-Eye bullet time kill mode from Red Dead: Redemption http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi9Sq0c_laY#t=00m28s

Your list is very short

Veronica has been fixed in the latest patch I believe, and companions now have 40 as their level limit.

Oh ok, thanks will update that.

Cool list broski, thanks.

NCR armors were added to the NCR safe-house, giving a legitimate way to get ranger combat armor without mods that add it to lore unfriendly places like the 188 trading post.

I don't think the 4GB enabler works with the newest patch.

http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35003 and http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=38158 are two tools you may want to check out. The former being a very popular tool for a long long list of reasons, and the latter being fairly useful for not having all those reasons other managers have that the majority of users have no idea about.

Community Bugfix Compilation Patch actually causes several problems and attempts to fix many problems that have been patched officially. It's also traded hands so many times that I doubt whoever is working on it now will be doing anything to fix it. I recommend not using it.

Thanks a lot, i was about to add wrye flash but didn't know about the Simple Manager. I also think its better to remove the compilation patch until someone fixes it, ill remove the NCR armors and check the 4GB Enabler.
Again, thanks for the feedback

Update: Removed All Essential Companions, Compilation Patch and NCR Armors. Left 4 GB Enabler because it works.
Will add:

Alright, updated it and added Clothes, Textures and User Interface category.
Please help me to see if there are any problems with the list, i put hard work behind this and i'd appreciate some help.
Also added companion disguises

Add this one:

World of Pain

http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=38719

One that has become one of my favorites because I'm addicted to looting is Mojave Express Expansion. It adds a portable crate you can leave at your home and then use the Mojave Express Dropboxes AND regular blue Mailboxes to ship your loot back to your portable crate from anywhere in the Mojave you can find a Mailbox. It's really, really useful. I'm using the 2.0 version and added several more Mailboxes via the GECK and it's awesome!

http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37184

Ive found some real gems in your list you have. good stuff! I might have a few suggestions for ya to add, but it will be later on since im gonna fall into a coma like sleep here in a few minutes. :/

Thanks a lot Will wait for the suggestions

Updates will work like this:

When to add list reaches 10 mods, i will update it.
If to add list takes too long to reach 10 mods, i will update it.

Simple right?

Anyway, to add list:
- A world of Pain
-Mojave Express Expansion

i would suggest FasterVATS, for those who like VATS but think it takes too long:

http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=38412


Here is just a couple that i use.

Might want to pull the ini optimizer.

Per the author in the comments: "I am not continuing development on this app at the moment since it seems like it's getting mixed reviews. It works great for some and not so well for others."

How about my canteen mod, great for hardcoe ,gives you access to canteens that can be filled from any water source, much more realistic than the automatic v13 can, also it lets you fill water bottles just like some of the other water mods available plus there are 13 different cans so you can collect them as well.

and added all the items i said i would in the last post.

Changed Ini Description, and added Mod Suggestions.

Hmmm... anyone else has issues with the Charisma based Followers mod? Maybe it doesn't work with the newest patch?

Working fine for me. You need to delete the existing FalloutNV.4gb file and let the fnv4gb.exe rebuild it, post-patch
