Looking to play with Mods--High Difficulty

Hulk'O'Saurus

Still Mildly Glowing
Hello, guys.

How's it going?

Looking to start playing NV with mods, aiming at high difficulty. Thought this would be the best place to ask.

Came across Sawyer's Patch which seems to have a lot of fixes in the right direction. Is it compatible with other patches, like the Nevada project? I would like to play with exp. gain set at 50 %, btw, and maximum level of 35 appeals to me. Do you have any other suggestions for mods I can install on top of these for more survival immersion?

What about graphical overhaul? I would appreciate any suggestions here, too. One thing I remember couldn't get to work before was the faces overhaul from nexusmods--/www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/54460. I am way too inept to understand how to install that. Any help?

That's about it. Thanks!
 
Hello to you!

I myself recently went trough modding FNV, or as a matter of fact any Fallout game, for the first time. I stayed away (for now) from content mods such as quests/new items. It was pain in the bum to install everything for the first time. Switching from FMM (Fallout Mod Manager) to NMM (Nexus Mod Manager) to make it all work properly, still I am not sure how but I finally did managed to install everything correctly. So I really can't help much with ins and outs of modding.

Here's the list of mods I'm running atm:
JS Ultimate mod https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/61592/

4Gb patch https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/35262?tab=files

I went for "Large" textures in NMCs texture pack https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/43135/

Not sure how important in this case New Vegas Script Extrender (NVSE) was but I got it, since it was recommended. https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/58277

YUP patch https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/51664/

Also at the beginning I was using NVAC (New Vegas Anti Crash) which made the game worse, was crashing every 5 minutes, so I got rid of it. link in case https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/53635/
+Hardcore in-game mode.

Also, since I am posting for the first time (after so many hours of staying away and reading) Hello to all NMA forum dwellers!

Wow, dude.

The JS ultimate is blowing my mind, especially with the recommended mods. It will be a busy few days now.

The NVSE is something of a small update to make the game compatible with some of the mods, for instance, The NEvada Project https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/40040. The large Textures is a nice--I tried it, but it doesn't fully overhaul the graphics. I need to take another look at the character overhaul mod, lol.

And bug fixes are always nice, thanks!
