    I liked fallout New Vegas a lot, but my hoarding mentality and constant inventory management was a bad combination, so I never finished that game.

      There’s a UI mod that makes a world of difference. Adds categories and columns for sorting, one of the categories is junk so you know what you can just trash without worries. Another is a weight/value ratio so its easier to drop heavy armor that looks sort of valuable but really isnt. It saves an incredible amount of time. Game still takes forever to beat if you wanna do all the quests.

        Anyone know what this mod is called? I have the same hoarding problem as the other poster so this sounds essential for me.

          Its been over a decade so I’m not entirely sure, but I think this might be the one: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/60534

          I played around with Skyrim modding more so I may have confused some features with SkyUI. I could have sworn they were made by the same people but now that one is listed as developed by the SkyUI team, and looks like it got a lot more updates.

          I think last I played NV I also used Project Nevada which gives a major overhaul of tons of aspects for the game. It’s got a whole lot more than you’re asking for but it was pretty rad.

          Edit: Or it might have been the DarNified one. This sounds familiar: https://taleoftwowastelands.com/viewtopic.php@t=7284

          Sorry for the uncertainty here, its really been awhile and I would have to reinstall all this stuff to know for sure whats what.

        I’m on fallout 4 with an unlimited carry weight mod and having a blast. I’ll come back to fnv with mods after I’m done with fo4 then, thanks

      Save corruption was what did it for me. Every single attempt at playing New Vegas resulted in save corruption before I could beat it.

        One thing that worked for me was starting a new game and loading the corrupted save from there rather than trying to load it from the main menu

      I got all the way to the end, but then decided to enter one of the DLCs and just lost all interest in it.
