It's a nice balance of giving you more repair options while requiring some extra effort, and most of all, it makes you feel like a real DIY enthusiast. I am very new to modding and PC gaming and I just wanted to what the best and easiest to install mods were. Trust me, even if you get the 4GB patch and have a good. With Alternative Repairing, however, you can break down other existing items into base components, then combine those components into replacement parts for your gear. Do note that in many cases I recommend 2K textures over 4K ones, as New Vegas runs in a 32-bit engine. How are you going to fix them? Traditionally, by finding identical versions of the broken items and cannibalizing them (or by paying a vendor to fix them for you). Your gun is broken, your knife is dull, and your armor is in tatters. More detail usually means a performance hit, but there are three different levels of quality to choose from if you have issues running the biggest textures.
NMC's Texture Pack is the best texture replacer out there, upscaling various textures up to 2K quality with a small performance hit. Visually, New Vegas has muddy textures that don't compare to titles today. Everything from roads, trees, buildings, vehicles, and other objects have been retextured (sky, water, characters, and weapons are untouched). Fallout New Vegas was released in 2010 soon after Fallout 3, and it really shows. There's a morbid sort of beauty in a decaying landscape, and the NMCS Texture Pack makes New Vegas even more bleakly attractive.
