My final count for installed Fallout: New Vegas mods was 102. That's not actually a lot for this game, but as somebody who doesn't install mods unless they're absolutely necessary, this was a whole endeavor.
Thankfully, there is a great beginner's guide called Viva New Vegas that walks you through all the steps for getting New Vegas up and running. It's called a "modular vanilla-plus" guide, which means you'll be playing a version of the game that's close enough to the original but with big improvements to visuals, frame rate, and the general quality-of-life experience.
