If you don't want the raw experience, the Viva New Vegas modlist does an amazing job of "vanilla plus". Haven't finished my latest playthrough, but nothing felt out of place, and it was less buggy than vanilla.
I've never liked fallout games but keep getting told to really give new Vegas a chance. Would you recommend this or any other mods for a first timer?
https://vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com/ Viva New Vegas is a community curated list of mods providing a near-Vanilla, yet expanded and bug-free gameplay. There aren't any more recommended mods than what is on the list, anything beyond would be for your preference. It is SUPER important to follow the directions with scrutiny, mega mod lists are very fragile and finicky during the installation process.
Fallout 4 has one as well: https://themidnightride.moddinglinked.com/ (note: it is currently being revised for F4's next-gen update)
Fallout 3, of course: https://thebestoftimes.moddinglinked.com/
Now, if you're feeling particularly insane, you can actually splice Fallout 3 and Fallout: NV into what is known as The Tale of Two Wastelands. This essentially provides FNV's updated game engine and modding support for FO3. Good luck: https://taleoftwowastelands.com/viewforum.php@f=51
I'll second the recommendation for Tale of Two Wastelands. I think having the New Vegas engine makes Fallout 3 so much more playable. You can actually use the iron sights, there's ammo types, etc. I play a heavily modded TTW and I'm having a blast blowing Swampfolk's heads off with the Y86 gauss rifle.
Alright, y'all convinced me. I'll give it a shot when I finish Cyberpunk 2077.
