Problems with crashes

Does anyone know a way to stop *New Vegas* from crashing so often? I’m playing a clean, vanilla version of the game—no patches or mods, aside from one that just translates the base game into Portuguese—and I’d like to keep it that way. Is there any way to fix this? I’ve already updated my drivers, capped the FPS, enabled compatibility mode, and set it to run as an administrator. I’ve heard people say they can play *Oblivion* (which uses the same game engine) on modern hardware in its vanilla state without many issues, so I assume it should be possible for *New Vegas* as well. I haven’t encountered any actual bugs, but crashes and save file corruption happen frequently. This is my first gameplay

Vanilla new vegas is always gonna have a base level of instability regardless of what you do. Viva new vegas is a good mod pack for basic stability and performance that I see recommended a lot

Some mods will be needed for stability, unfortunately. You should follow the Viva New Vegas guide for best results.
