Fallout: New Vegas should have been more optimized at launch
play vanilla: ooh this is a bit rough around the edges, but i'm getting somewh... aaand it crashed
mod it: well i did 10 hours of research, downloaded mods overnight and tried to correct my load order... aaand it crashed and corrupted my save files
Now to find out which mod did it.... Ok removing that mod corrupted all the other mods aaaand it crashed
i'm pretty sure on one of my attempts to play through (honestly happens every 3 years or so) that I started to play with ENBs along with other well recommended mods and I literally managed to just corrupt the entirety of the game files lmao. pretty sure i was bluescreening too.
Depends on the mods, most mods pre-2015 were horribly made but through a much more active playerbase have enough endorsements from back then to show up as "top mods," like Project Nevada. ENB is also buggy and pretty broken for New Vegas, it was never finished as well.
Try using Viva New Vegas, it even has a Wabbajack installer if you want an automated process and are willing to toss Nexus a few bucks to not have to keep clicking, or don't and just follow it like normal.
It's funny I think I've been blessed by the mod gods because I just go wild with installing a bunch and it's never done anything to the performance of the game.

That's a critique but at the same time I kind of love how uncanny that era of Fallout/Elder Scrolls games looked.
Yeah, my most controversial Fallout opinion is that they should try to make the graphics look like those pulp book covers they had for the instruction manual and loading screens for the first two games
I want Fallout to look weird, but in a Frazetta kind of way
As a certified NV head, there's a lot Fallout 3 did better, like the economy, repair limitations, atmospheric audio cues Obsidian never really implemented, NPC conversations, and more. New Vegas is much better, but it could have been way better.
