Freeside Open.
Once you play with it, you can't play without it.
Just type 'uncut' in Nexus search.

Just make sure you don't install it after you've already been to Freeside, otherwise it will break your game. You also won't be able uninstall it if you decide you don't like it. Which might be the case if you don't have a very powerful computer, as it's something of a performance hog. Your Freeside area might lag a fair bit if you're using it. So it would be a good idea to create a manual save just before you add it to your game, just in case.

It is MANDATORY you use this mod with a 4GB address space enabler patch. You WILL get frequent crashes without (and sadly probably a few even with..).

What does this mean??

You need the FNV4GB Patcher.
You need that regardless.
I've never crashed with Freeside Open, but you might. You might crash without it anyway though.
It has an optional terminal plugin where you can adjust activity if you need to.
Only install on a new game.

NMC's texture pack looks great.
I prefer Fellout over every ENB, but that's up to personal taste.

So I got it installed, got to freeside and its deffinetly alot busier however the king missions namely where you have to hire orris (I think is his name) he goes in the wrong direction so i cannot complete that 1st mission anything i can do?

Never had that issue.
Maybe reloading an earlier save, or trying to nudge him in the right direction might work.

However, did you install the mod prior to selecting 'new game'?
It will bug a bit if you installed after.

Also, if you have any other Uncut mods, they might conflict with Freeside Open, and will state if the do or not on their mod page.

I only have the open freeside mod as well as the 4gig thing, yes i selected a new save as well.

What about a mod manager?
NMM sucks for this game.
Get FOMM if you haven't already.
I've never had issues with it.
Otherwise, it could just be bugged, since Orris is even bugged occasionally in vanilla.

Open strip is also great

Jsawyers mod that rebalances everything is also good ( he was the main developer of new vegas )

[Xcaliber]

okay thanks.

Uncut Wasteland and the New Vegas Uncut series as a whole (minus the Freeside-related ones, since you're already using FSO) are pretty much the essential mods for cut content.
