Project Nevada is a mod aiming to make Fallout: New Vegas a more interesting - eventually more challenging - but surely more fun experience for you.
Created by the team responsible for the Fallout 3 Wanderers Edition (FWE), we're leaving the barren DC wasteland behind and move on west to new, exciting regions.
Project Nevada is not an overhaul, instead it's organized as a set of themed modules.
Each module can address different aspects of the game and target different audiences, but they are also designed to work in conjunction.
Our vision is to allow players picking the modules they want and using them together with any mod they like, instead of forcing them to make the all-or-nothing choice.
See the next sections for detailed descriptions and features of all current modules.
Further general objectives and design concepts are:
Easy installation and setup; no load order or complicated dependencies.
Great customization through different modules and an in-game menu
Rather keep things straightforward and enjoyable than overly complicated and tedious.

Project Nevada is a comprehensive gameplay overhaul for Fallout: New Vegas, designed to increase challenge and fun. With 143,682 endorsements and 4.4 million downloads, it's one of the most popular mods for the game, though it hasn't been updated since 2014.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community trust (143k endorsements) — this is a legendary mod that defined New Vegas modding
- 4.4 million downloads means it's been tested by a huge player base, so it's stable and well-loved
- Core philosophy of 'more fun' — it's not just difficulty for difficulty's sake, it's about making the game better
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014 — over a decade old, so it may have compatibility issues with modern mod setups or the latest game patches
- As a total overhaul, it might conflict with other gameplay mods, so you'll need to plan your load order carefully
For Fallout: New Vegas veterans who want a fresh, more challenging playthrough without losing the core experience. If you're a modder looking to build a stable mod list, this is a must-have foundation. Skip if you prefer vanilla gameplay or want only minor tweaks — this is a big change.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage Project Nevada — it's a large mod and manual installs can get messy
- Check the mod's forum or wiki for known compatible mods and load order recommendations, since the description is sparse
- Make sure to read the mod's documentation on Nexus for any required patches or optional files that enhance compatibility
