Some custom companions i made and some weapons

Just to name a few.

EVE and WRP are a must for me. Without them, energy weapons and vanilla guns look like ass. IHWT is also essential, taking care of most heavy weapons in 3/NV. Speaking of appearance deficits, there is one of the facial variety and coming to save the day is either FCO or Redesigned. Dragbody's overhauls are also rad to use alongside either one.

NMC's texture pack is also a must. I never go without that mod. Wasteland Clothing retexture mod also, along with mods like ADAM and Book of SteelNV to polish off most outfits.

Give me all those, a good ENB and my game is set. There's other good face-lifter mods that I'm not naming that I'm probably using, but those are just some off the top of my head.

In NV I can't go past Drags armour mods with the M24 gun mod!
For F4 Modern firearms has completley changed the game for the better in my perspective

Sky UI and Inigo. Inigo is best cat

I don't really have a specific mod I can't play without, it's the variety of mods which improve all aspects of the game, from gameplay to graphics. I can't play without Drag's mods either, such as the FO4 Power Armour in NV, Upgrades from the Commonwealth and his various armour packs. All of these help add to the game and when you get used to them, you can't play without them.

I have a lot, but NCMs texture pack and Skyrim HD 2k textures are definitely the only ones i must really have in order to play. I just can't played Fallout 3/New vegas and Skyrim with original graphics cause i think it sucks. First thing after i reinstalled new vegas was install the ncms texture pack before launching the game for the first time xd

Are we talking about Skyrim or Fallout, and for the latter, are we talking 3, NV or 4?

In terms of Fallout 4, the B-35 Power Armor is the only armor mod that I really can't play without (I'm able to pretend I'm in StarCraft CMC power armor, but when I can get my mitts on that then the B-35 will be obsolete but not forgotten), and as for my preference in other mods, I've got a boner for modern weaponry (particularly more exotic arms instead of AK and AR pattern rifles and Colt pistols), so just about all of those are part of my balanced Fallout breakfast.

New Vegas; it's been a long damn time since I played but I know one mod I immediately pounced on was one that added my favorite real world shotgun to the game, the Franchi SPAS-15.

Never played Fallout 3 (nor do I really want to), so no answer there.

Skyrim; I love Aurora Dawnstone. Not too fond of how she tried to kill me once, particularly after giving her some (literally) cutting edge weapons. Big fan of "Become High King of Skyrim!" and how I can put everybody I despise through all the Circles of Hell in addition to some new ones I drew.

Universally, I dig CBBE, which I feel nobody can really argue against.

I personally disagree. MF is cool, but it has a lot of problems, to include:

• The guns sound almost exactly the same (and are really, really loud)
• They do way too much damage and knockback. I know the mod authors had an obsession with the former, but real guns don't send people in powered armor suits scattering across the ground. And yes, I know power armor isn't a thing (yet).
• They're very plentiful (which also increases the likelihood of getting killed by them more than you should be) and have a high market value, so selling them breaks the economy in half.
• A lot of animations and reload speeds and stuff are extraordinarily buggy. Last time I used it was when they added pump-action shotguns, which not only had the reload animations of a fucking bolt-action sniper rifle, but was abnormally slow - you could have reloaded two light machine guns in the span of time it takes to load 8 shells into a shotgun.
