I recommend everyone do this, it will minimize any problems you may or may not have, Fallout New Vegas should not take very long to download, just take the time to do it right from the start and when modding your game you don't want the game in your program files directory, if you have never modded the game before and you have the game in your Program Directory, just do the Clean Installīefore you start you need to delete all previous Fallout New Vegas folders, especially if you have ever used mods before, they can be left over files you are unaware of that can cause serious hiccups, first open file explorer and go to what ever drive you have your game installed on, go to steam/steamapps/common and delete the Fallout New Vegas folder.
