However, there's no getting around the fact that visually, Fallout: New Vegas is a fossil. Luckily, as with most products associated with Bethesda and Obsidian, the modding community is quite active. With the right essential graphics mods in place, this game can be given a new lease on life. These mods should serve as the core of any player's load order.

Although it may not always seem like it, a game's lighting has a substantial effect when it comes to graphics. Things like shadows and reflections enhance the atmosphere in small, but significant ways. Vanilla Fallout: New Vegas is clearly lacking in this department.
ENBs are not graphics mods in and of themselves. They add and improve a game's post-processing effects, heightening the visual fidelity of the graphics far beyond what was initially intended by the developers. ENBs tie all graphics mods together, making them look their very best.
Prevent the Wasteland graphics from deteriorating any further with the Flora and Terrain Overhaul, a mod that introduces more than 100 new desert trees and plants, improved ground textures, and even 3D models that can be seen from afar.
Finally - at least in terms of graphics - there's ENB. This highly tweakable post-processing tool is available for several games, including multiple Bethesda offerings, GTA IV & V and Deus Ex. It applies and improves various modernish effects, including HDR, superior anti-aliasing and depth of field. ENB is its very own rabbit hole - there are a gazillion different user-made presets available to try out, or you can adjust settings yourself with the alt+enter in-game menu and by editing the ini file. It's not an essential, but you get out what you put in.
Despite its age, Fallout: New Vegas has stood tall against the test of time and remains one of the best role-playing games on PC to this day. With that said, many of the game's technical aspects aren't as polished as most players would like, and both the graphics and the combat could be better, too. Thankfully, you can overhaul all of these things by installing some of the incredible mods made by the Fallout community. Here's a look at all of the best Fallout: New Vegas mods available on PC now, as well as some tips to know before installing them.
All of these mods were designed to give your game a visual boost while overhauling the majority of the game's elements for a better experience. These are the best Fallout 4 graphics mods of the bunch, and we've added 5 more to this list to make the trek through the wasteland a more enjoyable one.
Updated on November 20th, 2020 by Derek Draven: There are so many graphics mods available for Fallout 4 that it felt wise to include a few more on this list. Just a handful of these mods are capable of dramatically changing the play experience, which is why they should be considered for your next playthrough.
Mod author HalkHogan created this amazing graphics mod that freshens up a ton of in-game objects with reworked HD textures. Just install the mod and it does the rest. No longer does one have to suffer through low-resolution eyesores.
For those who like exact control over every facet of their in-game graphics, this mod is the answer. It allows for in-game customization of Fallout 4's lighting, color and other visual settings without the need for a fancy, taxing ENB.
The settings are accessible through a Holotape which allows one to go hog-wild to achieve the exact in-game look they desire. Plus, it's more stable than other graphics tools such as Nvidia Freestyle.
Fans of ENB graphics processing will get a kick out of this amazing mod that amplifies and dramatizes the game's many light sources with increased emissive value. Mod author MaxG3D went in and tweaked every single light mesh in order to achieve this feat, creating a stunning lighting mod in the process.
One of the granddaddies of Fallout 4 graphics mods is undoubtedly FlaconOil's Complete Retexture Project. This heavy duty download includes redone textures, meshes and materials for most of Fallout 4's sprawling graphics content.
Natural Landscapes is one truly fantastic graphics mod that overhauls the fidelity and detail of Fallout 4's natural environment. Forest floors, leaf piles and beach sand are just a few elements that receive a massive bump in overall quality.
Anamorfus was responsible for the excellent Skyrim staple graphics mod Enhanced Lights And FX (or ELFX for short), which drastically changed the lighting of the game and turned it into a far more realistic and engaging experience. Thankfully, he did the same for Fallout 4, as well.
ELFX dramatically changes the lighting of interior and exterior cells with ambient and light source overhauls that make sense, feel much more realistic, and will change the way you'll play Fallout 4. The real icing on the cake is the performance; ELFX barely registers a hit on your system, making it one of the most integral graphics mods for your load order.
Made by the same person behind, other game mods such as Fallout 3 Project Beauty HD, this mod seeks to improve graphics (in both looks and design), as well as make it more lore friendly and add a healthy dose of realism.The mod fixes graphical glitches (such as skin issues, hair, and face proportions), and adds a bit more lore, whose end goal is to make a more enjoyable and realistic experience.
As the name suggests this mod is a character overhaul mod, but it also brings a bit of style. Essentially, this mod is a giant overhaul, and it gives all the characters new head meshes, and high-quality textures. Despite being a graphics mod, it does greatly enhance the game, and there are high chances that you will keep this mod for your next playthroughs. 2ff7e9595c
