Hello everyone, I'm new around here and I wanted to say hi. I just created my account today and I'm excited to get into modding. Last year I upgraded from a second hand laptop to a proper gaming rig for main reason of modding Skyrim, Fallout New Vegas etc. I'm reasonably new to modding having started properly when trying to get copy of fallout 4 to run on a potato. If anybody could give me any tips on where I should get started here I'd really appreciate it.

Hello there, it's good to see you

You could start in a bunch of different places.

If you're wanting some FNV mods, I suggest any of Dragbody's armour/race/companion mods. They are really high quality and there should be something there you should like.

Here's some links to a couple of my favourite Dragbody's mods:

Armour

https://www.gunetwork.org/t10154-release-drag-s-armor-megapack-fonv

Companion

Overhaul

I also enjoy Cpt Rex's animation mods, so you could check out some of those.

Hope you feel welcomed, great to see ya

Welcome to GUN! Modding as a newcomer can be pretty overwhelming, so feel free to shoot me a PM with any questions, and I'll help you out as much as I can! Best of luck modding !

Thanks for the pointers, I'll be sure to check it out

No bother mate, good to see ya here

Welcome, newcomer myself so glad to see some more faces.

Hello, have fun exploring, and be sure to leave lots of feedback for people.

Welcome to GUN! This is an amazing community that I've enjoyed being a part of. Starting out is always daunting, so feel free to shoot me any questions.

For starters, a mod manager will save you many hours of headaches. I still use NMM (the community GitHub one), but I'd probably recommend a different mod manager. I only use NMM still because changing out at this point would be a major hassle.

Welcome to the site! I personally use Mod Organizer 2 for the Fallout games but it's not for everyone so maybe experiment with it.
