Fallout New Vegas: Mods of the Week

I've actually taken a break from Fallout New Vegas due to the advent of multiple games (mostly Skyrim) which also explains the lack of posts recently. However, I have two mods this week for Fallout New Vegas which I think are cool.

The first mod is Macabre Production's CONELRAD, which has become a boon to my New Vegas experience. Much like the previous mod of the week (which added a custom radio station), CONELRAD adds a new radio station in your Pip-Boy. The station has 55 tracks and 29 original public service announcements, totalling to 2 hours and 44 minutes of unique content. The station also has a host, Katrina, with fully scripted dialogue. The difference between CONELRAD and the radios in Fallout New Vegas is unnoticeable; the professional quality of CONELRAD makes the station feel natural, as if it were another station Bethesda had put into the game. For those who seek a change to the iterative radios in New Vegas, I highly recommend CONELRAD. Here's the link:

The second mod is one I haven't tried out yet, but it seems incredibly promising. Dynamic Modification System (DMS) was released last week and has already gathered a large fan base. DMS allows you to modify your weapons' damage. Not only can you alter the damage of weapons in the game to your liking, but the weapons from other mod packages. This fixes any balance issues with extra weapons from mods you have installed, makes your choice of weapons more extensive as you can raise the DPS of weaker weapons, or turn any weapon into an overpowered slaughter device. I will definitely give this mod a try when I get back into New Vegas. Link below:
