I recently finished a modded game of Fallout New Vegas that I streamed on twitch. It was a good time & I used a pretty fun selection of recent (2020? and later) mods that resulted in a mostly crash-free and fun experience.
After the cut you'll find a list of the mods I had installed, all ~130 of them, with links back to nexusmods where they can be downloaded. I don't recommend this list, you should use (or at least start from) Viva New Vegas instead, but I'll pass this list on anyway (for my own records and because people asked for it).
I started from the aforementioned stable base of the Viva New Vegas list and added various things that caught my attention - landscape overhauls, new dungeons, a body replacer, and other miscellaneous things.
I'll say now, before the list itself, that A World Of Less Pain definitely conflicted here and there with some of the landscape overhauls I was using (specifically Enhanced Landscapes / NV Suburban Overhaul / Simple Mojave Urbanization). The conflicts that I remember were only visual, however; the mods worked together fine but occasionally looked bad/goofy.
Additionally I think that there were mods editing items that were in conflict (and that I didn't notice until partway through the game). If I were to do this again I'd omit the Type4 body mod and its associated clothing mods to reduce the number of ESPs changing those records.
With that out of the way here's the list itself, organized into sections as suggested by the Viva New Vegas guide. (This roughly corresponds to the left pane in Mod Organizer 2). There may be a few dependencies not listed.
And for the sake of completeness here's the specific load order I used (corresponding to the right pane in Mod Organizer 2):

I played the game on my ordinary Linux desktop computer. I'm currently running Debian 12.10 & using the Wine version available in the standard apt repositories (Wine 8.0 according to apt search). I had some crashes around Helios One and an unusually high number of crashes in the Dead Money DLC but other than that the game performed well.
One thing I couldn't get working at all under Wine was xLODGen. I used the pre-generated Viva New Vegas LOD & so I had a lot of distance detail mismatch with the mods I was running. (A lot of "pop-in" I think it's called). I'll need to figure out how to get either xLODGen or FNVLODGen to work one of these days.
I built (and vaguely roleplayed) a character skilled at guns, medicine, and speech. I took a lot of of damage-increasing perks - Black Widow, Grunt, Bloody Mess, Living Anatomy, and eventually Thought You Died. I used a bunch of overpowered DLC weapons - .45 Auto pistols, the Survivalist's rifle, the Holorifle. I was a glass cannon for much of the early and middle game and ended up pretty overpowered at the end (completed at around level 40).
It was, as I said above, a good time. I look forward to playing Fallout 3 soon (though I think I'll play that one vanilla first as I have never played it before).
