In general, mods never alter the base files of the game and, while incompatible Fallout: New Vegas mods may conflict and cause your game to crash or behave funnily, they will never render the game so far inoperable that simply reinstalling won’t solve it. Clicking on the Data Files option of the startup screen lets you view which mods are installed, if any. If you’re reading this article then you probably already have some idea of what a mod is, but for clarity: most mods for Fallout: New Vegas either add items in the form of texture and mesh files and then place these in the game somewhere, or alter the gameplay mechanics by adding a file that tells the game to behave a little differently than it would without the file installed.

Not to be confused with scooter-riding young people in 1960s Britain, a mod in the computer gaming world is a game modification.
Mods can seriously enhance a game by fixing bugs or implementing ideas that make the experience more enjoyable, but they are often a bit intimidating to those who are a little uncomfortable mucking about with the internal workings of their game.
