Holy mother of God! Might as well just put NewVegasnexus site address instead of the list (

It does show you love this game a lot and, much like me, you are obsessed with immersion in games. So im glad i asked since i will definitely check out those "NPC Project" mods. Also when you have time can you please post or direct me to screens of your female build?
Mod questions:
1- Did the better performance did anything for you and which one you have?
2- What are "loreversion.esp" , "sun glasses shipment.esp", "Highgrass.esp"?
3- What female power armor mod are you using exactly? Since there's lots of them around.
Thanks for sharing your list with everyone.
Heh, it's a long list, but they're mostly small things. Let's get on with them questions!
0) The NPC Project mods are a bunch of mods called something like Bitter Springs revisited, that add some cut NPCs to a few areas. Here they are:
http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=42555 (Bitter Springs),
http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=42449 (188 Trading Post) and
http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=42602 (Aerotech Office Park + the NPC Project.esm)
1) Can't proper say, but i'm thinking not, since what it does is just removing unused items from the load lists, which can't make that much of a difference. I figured anything that boosts performance can't be wrong, so i have it installed. It's this one:

2a) Loreversion.esp and Red Lucy Aesthetics are part of an uncontinued mod called New Vegas Redesigned that fixes plenty of the many nefarious faces of the Wasteland. It's done by the guy that did its FO3 equivalent, Project Beauty. It's pretty cool and lore-friendly, and it doesn't pretty up the characters as the name suggests, but rather fix many weird decisions Beth and Obs made, and gives pretty much every named character more personality. The guy pulled it down from the nexus, but you can get it here:
http://www.jeuxvideopc.com/downloads/44462-fallout-new-vegas/1265-character-design/details-30949.php. If you don't know french, telecharger means download. There's other, constantly updated NPC face modifying mods, but i like this one best.
2b) Sunglasses shipment is part of this sunglasses mod:
http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36333. Be sure NOT to install the optional Sunglasses Shipment - Merchant esp. The modder screwed something up there and you'll get a lot of broken conversations as a result (people will just say "Hey" then end convo). It's not a great mod or anything, but i like glasses.
2c) High grass just adds more grass patches to NV. I love the unspoiled by man look that nature has when you see tall, dense grass like in Tarkovsky's Stalker. So i downloaded this for that purpose. This can be somewhat performance heavy for older machines, but there's a lite version and it's just one little esp, so it's easy to uninstall. Here's the link for ya:

3) The female power armor mod i'm using is this one:
http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=40899. Works pretty well, no visible weirdness like on some other power armor mods, nothing oversexualized or anything, just a little more fitting power armor for chicks.

For some reason I can't bring myself to install supermodel body mods like type 3 in Fallout 3/NV. In Oblivion I love that shit, bring on the booty and huge, bouncing boobs, but in Fallout... it breaks my immersion and feels completely wrong, I want the people to be ugly as shit. Am I crazy, or is it Boris Vallejo's fault?
Weird shojo stuff and bouncing tits mods clash a lot more with the somewhat realistic Wasteland, and FO3 & NV are a lot more serious (or at least interested in coherence and lore) than Oblivion, which doesn't even have a real dialogue system. Might be something there to it.
I try weird stuff every now and then just for kicks (i think there was a mod called Groove Gun in FO3 that would make people dance when shot), but i like my core game kept in-canon and immersive as well.
