Fallout: New Vegas , Playthrough, Pt. 1 (HD Textures Mods)

I am going to try and play this one more time.. it keeps not only crashing on me but the save files stop working. I couldn't even enter a particular town without it crashing. This time I've loaded a HD Texture pack and a patch that is supposed to reduce the crashes, along with some optimizations towards the loading of DLCs. We'll see..
