I’m running all my mods via vortex. I downloaded the 4gb patch and NVSE. I have some weather mods and animation mods running and it has been working ok. Some crashing time to time but when I install a texture mod the game just shits itself. Is it my pc or did I do something wrong? I don’t really know what I’m doing, but I’m having fun playing this game again regardless.

I suggest following Viva New Vegas. It's the best mod guide for New Vegas, and is one of the best mod lists. If this is your first playthrough, just use the Core section for stability.
Depending on the mods, it could also be the order in which the mods load. In the past I found some weather mods don't like some texture mods, I've also found some animation mods aren't stable in general. For example, some of the clothing mods requires certain body type mods, and those mods require some sort of other config mod.
You will have to double check the mod's page to see if they provided a list of compatible/incompatible mods and any order in which they should be loaded compared to other mods.
NV is going to crash no matter what you do and it's only a matter of time before you're simply running past a building then BOOM. Crash. I've had to leave all the auto-save features on because of the constant and random crashing. You can install the NV anti-crash mod (NVAC) but all that does is maybe reduce the chance of a crash of the base game. Any mods installed will still be at risk of something not being compatible between lines of code where different mods interact.
Your mileage definitely varies. I use Viva New Vegas with a couple of mods on top, and I get a crash once a playthrough or two.
Oh it certainly does. I've never heard of Viva New Vegas but I can easily say that I've played for hours with no crashes at all. But I've had times where for some reason, I couldn't get 10 minutes before it crashed.
Yea, your game shouldn't be doing that, unless your PC just really hates New Vegas. I suggest giving Viva New Vegas a shot, it's the best mod guide for New Vegas. I get like 1 crash every 40-80 hours, if that.
NV has always been like that though. That was one of the major complains when it first launched, how often the game would crash. I think it's a lot better now, but I still encounter the odd crash, but I also know that the crash was probably because of a mod I didn't install correctly rather than the game itself.
What texture mods exactly? I remember that Ojo Bueno - Ultra and possibly High (IIRC) can be a big performance drain.
Also, if you have Stutter Remover, remove it. It's been replaced by Tick Fix. That could be the cause of your crashes. And what specs do you have?
Remember, the game isn't optimized for modern hardware or software.
Enhanced blood textures/ Nvac anti crash/ Fnv 4gb patch/ Fnv realistic wasteland lighting/ 2.2 even better loading screens/ Enhanced camera 1.4c/ Reload animation fix/ Asurah Reanimation pack
Textures- nmcs textures medium pack
Whenever I enable the textures the game crashes far more often
I have a gt 1030(beginner pc builder)
That's a weird issue. I don't think textures can, by themselves, cause crashes.
The issue could be that it's simply overloading your VRAM/hardware. Could you list your PC Specs?
You could also try NMC - Small.
^((also I do recommend getting Tick Fix))
Thank you it’s probably just my pc. Is tick fix on nexus?
Yes
