I can't be sure if this one fits with your criteria or not, but I will suggest it and you can take a look, for me it is one of the best mods for FNV in terms of exploration.

The immersive in the title is actually a joke about how all mods seem to be called immersive something these days (it was made by a couple of my friends so I wouldn't be much of a friend if I didn't suggested it ): Spacemunkey already suggested a mod for hacking and lockpicking but I am going to suggest another for that, it is more like the classic Fallout games and removes the minigames and allows the character to try and open the locks or hack depending on their skills. įixes couches that you previously could not sit on, like the one in your Novac room. Again, this does not alter the game atmosphere yet slightly improves it. Makes glass semi-transparent so you can through it, while maintaining its dirty look. It also feels natural, like it was a feature meant to be there. Yes, you can theoritically do it by console commands so there's so real need for it but this is much more fun for me. This adds two mirrors where you can change your hair, in the hotel room in novac and in the Lucky 38 suite. So overall, this little modification makes me feel more like i'm in the classic fallout universe, as it's presented in Fallout New Vegas. This mod's brahmin variants manage to capture the aesthetic of the mojave wasteland, an aesthetic which is in the base game is sometimes not clear enough, precisely because the mojave wasteland is built partly using designs made for the capital wasteland ( i'm guessing due to lack of time ). The thing is that many of the stuff taken from fallout 3 feel out of place in New Vegas, and the brahmin are a good example of that. I was sceptical about this prior to trying it out but it's really nice, the brahmin are very well designed and it feels sort of natural having them around.

This adds a new type of brahmin that fits the atmosphere of the territories around New Vegas.
