This is definitely a problem I have. Heck, my modding addiction is so bad that I've went out and bought other Beth games just to see what I could mod and change in them.
I started modding with FO3 and Skyrim, and when I saw all the cool mods that I could download for FONV, I downloaded that game too, modded the heck out of it, and then looked for a new fix.

So entered the nostalgia.

I remembered my days playing Oblivion on the 360, thought about how AWESOME that game was, yet, also in how flawed it was and thought to myself "I can change it."

Like a high school girl trying to date the "bad boy" lol

So I bought that game, modded the crap out of it, and then went back to FO4 to see if any new mods were out.

Rinse and repeat.

Modding addict? Yes, I guess. Actually when you enter into modding you become in the same time a frustrated player. In your eternal quest for the perfect modded game, you put the playing time off until later. My situation is meaningful: my PC is not enough powerful to run all my "essential" mods, so until I get a new one I spend my time into modding and elaborating the best load order with the aim of doing my future playthrough... Tell me it's crazy.

I haven't done a proper playthrough of New Vegas for like 2 years because I'm obsessed with finding the perfect Modded game, I get so far then end up doing something that breaks it, so I have to start over...

I have a rule though: don't load new plugins while you are playing your definitive playthrough. Therefore I do not properly play anymore...

@LeoMen14 It's kind of crap in a way, like will we ever play NV properly again? who knows..

@"Lucianhector" FNV is certainly a great game, but does it worth such an investment in time? On the other hand, I am not fond of F4. Rise and fall of the modder...

... iknow how you feel uninstall NV right okay MOD fallout 4 remenbers fallout 3 download fallout 3 and mod it remenbers new vegas download new vegas and mod it them remenber skyrim download skyrim and mod it theeeem not space in HD remenber some total war (i like total war games) uninstall fallout 3 and dowload a bunch od mods for total war but them i remenber fallout 3 again and i went crazy (yeah i an this type of crazy for mods)

I spend more time modding the games than actually playing them.

one mod is never enough, its like a slippery slope.

I have 118 mods.

50 of them are actually mods that were merged to reduce the load order cause I was experiencing issues.

22 are .esms

36 are misc weapons and other stuff.

9 are tweaked mods.

1 is the mod that rules them all in this crazy mess of dependencies and masters.

I still have issues of making more adjustments or just plain adding features than simply playing New Vegas.

All in all, I can say that my Data file is a little over 34 gbs.

If you guys think you went overboard, look at my.

Back then, yep. Now? Nope, not anymore. I don't want to change the game too much now. It just doesn't feel like a Fallout game if its too heavily modded with armors and weapons. Weather and Lighting mods are an exception with New Vegas though, but in Fallout 3 I just want mods that make it creepier.

I'll spend hours installing mods but never actually play the game i'm modding.

Does installing (& sometimes re-installing) mods constantly count? Seems like I install mods more often then I do actually playing the games. The Bethesda games being the worst when it comes to modding. I don't think I've ever played a full vanilla playthrough of those games.
