The guide that turns Fallout New Vegas into what the developers wanted to make, but couldn’t

If your thirst for Fallout has led you to Fallout New Vegas, and you’re playing on PC, don’t miss this mod repository that will enhance your experience.

The world is obsessed with Fallout. The success of the Prime Video series has people wanting to return to play or discover this incredible and desolate world for the first time. Some have taken the opportunity to dust off their copy of Fallout 4 now that it has an enhanced version for current-generation consoles, while others have taken advantage of the PC bundles that have brought the price down to an all-time low and are learning its lore.

But those who play on the PC know the power of integrating mods into the game, and Fallout New Vegas has always been a favorite for fans of the franchise. On this occasion, we take a look at Viva New Vegas, a guide specialized in everything related to modding this game developed by Obsidian Entertainment - and that yes, it is still canon within the universe of the series.

What is Viva New Vegas?

Viva New Vegas is a website designed to help players easily add mods to Fallout New Vegas, with very detailed instructions on the process to make everything run smoothly. It is a list of recommended mods that improve stability, performance, customization, and gameplay.

The site is intended for those who have an English copy of the game, as well as its DLCs, either on Steam, GOG, or the Epic Games Store, with very clear requirements and specifications of what your computer must have for everything to work. On the other hand, it also includes instructions, utilities, and other items you will need before installing any of the mods.

But what about mods? The list of mods for this game comes to change:

  • User interface, mainly improving menus and maps.
  • Gameplay, with a series of mods with multiple functions of quality of life, and visuals, among other aspects.
  • Overhauls, which installs mods to rebalance the game mechanics.
  • Content, which adds lore friendly content
  • Visuals, to improve the overall look and feel of the game.

As if that were not enough, there are also sections on tools and mods to avoid, which illustrate how certain additional aspects can change the game experience.
