If you do, I can’t reccomend the Viva New Vegas modpack enough. It’s a wonderful “vanilla-plus” pack that keeps the feeling of the base game while fixing bugs, improving the balance and leveling curve, reintroducing appropriate cut content, and giving it all a consistently good new coat of paint. And it’s not crash prone, which even the base game has trouble with at times.
I can’t help myself from tinkering further, but it’s the best baseline setup I’ve found since the game released over a decade ago.
There are also sister packs done by the same team for 3, and Tale of Two Wastelands (another mod that puts 3 into New Vegas’s slightly improved engine, which a lot of people prefer to playing 3 on it’s own). I haven’t used them myself, but they look to be up to the same gold standard.

Sounds like I’ve got my next several weeks sorted then! Thanks for the mod recs, I’m looking forward to those games
Nexus Mods is your new best friend. Their older Nexus Mod Manager still works for all the Fallout games mentioned here and works better than Vortex.
Plug: I even made a couple mods for 3 and NV
