Just from personal experience, I would install the base bug fix mods first and play 2-3 hours of it unmodded. I spent a few hrs modding it initially but could not avoid freezing or weird pop. Uninstalled everything but the basic bug fixes, more freezing
Clean install, played for 15 mins before issues with fps. Added the bug fixes and couldn't play more than 30 mins without freezes.
I think I honestly had exceptionally bad luck, but I ended up spending about five hours total troubleshooting and was never able to get further than Novac. I have a much better PC now and may try again but I will keep it baseline until it's running nicely.
Also, I've heard the PS3 streaming emulation is good if you have the Mbps to go ham
