I only just got into modding, plus, I only ever had FO3 for PS3. New Vegas is actually my first PC game (that is to say game that is on a disk that you play on the computer not counting Army Men II when I was 6 years old). Add my first experience with mods and I'd say I am now a half-breed between console and PC gamer. As far as New Vegas mods, I'll list just a few of the ones I have right now: I got the THOR gun, Vault-Tech Power, the Pip-Boy Readius Replace-er, Run the Lucky 38, Enclave Commander, Real Time Settler, and a bunch of clothing and armor stuff that just adds things I wish were in the game already, like super-mutant eye pieces for your character.
I love all of those, especially Run the Lucky 38. I actually think it sheds a lot of light on Mr. House despite being non-cannon. When I read the notes and terminals that mod adds, I feel like it gives some of the missing lore about House's life. Kind of like spiritual successors to the terminal entries you find by his brother that shed light on their relationship.
The Vault-Tech power armor seems like something the developers would have actually made, both design-wise and idea-wise. The THOR gun, not so much but still fun to use.
The Readius is more for role-playing purposes.
Enclave commander is great fun and, occasionally with the help of a few console commands and/or other mods, can be used for a bit or role playing as well.
Real time settler is pretty cool but I feel like there are some things it is missing.
The rest is not as interesting to talk about.
I did actually recently get the Underwater Hideout mod for New Vegas which might be by the same guy/girl that made the hideout in your update. It's great fun.
All and all, I love mods but sometimes I wonder why some people seem to think mods like re-texturing weapons to make them look like real life weapons that were just manufactured yesterday are good for the game. I guess my real problem is with people messing up the flavor of the world that was built so well.
Now for something else entirely: I've been really busy lately and am having trouble coming up with a Lesson topic. Any suggestions?
