Wait, something is wrong.

Referencing the excellent and thoughtful OP is an excellent start.

Content: for those who are/have upgraded to Windows 10, I've found you need to alter the properties of falloutprefs.ini and fallout.ini in Users/Name/Documents/My Games/Fallout NV to give everyone listed "Full Control", or you may end up with a black, taunting screen like I did.

Edit: clarity

I should set the what to what? I am also getting this black screen periodically when things try to load, what do I need to change in the ini?

You don't change the .ini's at all. You change the properties of the files so that all listed users (System, Home Users, Administrators, etc ..) have full control. Right click the .ini, Properties, click the Security tab, click Edit on "To change permissions, click Edit", click on each user listed and make sure the box for Full Control is ticked. Apply/Save

.. hope that's a little more clear. You're modifying the properties of c:\Users\Name\Documents\My Games\Fallout NV: FalloutPrefs.ini and Fallout.ini

Note: this reflects my experience with newly installed Windows 10, and worked for me. Your M may, of course, V.

Edit/More content: had to employ the registry hack to get Windows 10 on this sucker.

If you're lucky, it's a simple matter of getting Nifskope, finding the accessory you want to remove, and deleting that part out of the mesh. I've done this a few times. If you're unlucky, well ... when that happened to me I changed my mind on how much I really wanted to edit that armor.

step 1: back up your nif. back it up. back it up twice.

Then, load up the thing in Nifskope. In the preview window, you can rotate and move the camera around by clicking and dragging and using the mousewheel, so do that and find what you want to get rid of, and click on it in the preview window. If you're lucky, only that thing will be white-wireframed and in the Block List you should have a specific NiTriShape selected - one indicates the other. Right click on the selected NiTriShape, pick Block > Remove. Ideally, that accessory you selected is now gone.

Save your nif and try it out ingame.

I'm thinking of setting up a more heavily modified playthrough, and I'm thinking of getting Project Nevada and JSawyer's mod. Do they play well together, or do I need a convergence mod?

You can use both without problem. Only the PN Rebalance module conflicts with JSawyer. Loading JSawyer after PN won't help, since PN updates the gamesettings via a script. So if you open up PN's MCM at any point, it will override JSawyer.
If you want to use the PN Rebalance module with JSawyer's tweaks, you can try these settings in PN Rebalance's MCM:

Hitpoints endurance multiplier: 10
Hitpoints level multiplier: 5
Carryweight base: 50
Carryweight strenght multiplier: 25

Max level: 35
JSawyer tweaks the XP gain via a gamesetting, while PN Rebalance does so via a hidden perk. Set PN Rebalance's XP gain profile to that of the vanilla game and JSawyer's tweak will work fine.

Hunger increase: 230 (actually 230.4 but that slider in PN's MCM wasn't setup to allow decimals)
Hunger rate: 12.5
Thirst increase: 576
Thirst rate: 5
Sleep increase: 160
Sleep rate: 18
Survival based rates disabled.
Food healing enabled. (JSawyer is balanced around food being able to heal you, since stimpacks were made to be more scarce)

Food lootlist 25: 5
Food lootlist 50: 10
Food lootlist 75: 20
Food lootlist 100: 100

If you want to make JSawyer & PN Rebalance completely compatible you will need to do some minor FNVEdit work since both touch several ingestible entries and PN Rebalance edits more food leveled lists. However it's not necessary if you don't feel like doing that:
You can let JSawyer override PN Rebalance's ingestible entries. The only real issue will be that some food will have a "Fresh" or "Raw" tag and others don't.
Since PN Rebalance edits more food leveled lists, adding JSawyer's Chance None values to all those lists can result in food becoming a bit more scarce then Ropekid intended. There should still be enough food though and you can always increase the Food lootlist values in PN's MCM.

Alright, if it's just Rebalance, I think I'll just disable that and go with JS, since that also rebalances stuff. Thanks a lot for the info. :)

Secondary question, I can't seem to find DarnUI from the link in the OP. It leads to a thread that closed in 2010, and so does a quick google, which brings up the same thread and a nexus link to "Darnified UI - DT and DR", which doesn't' seem to be the entire thing. It's not the biggest issue, I'm not the biggest fan of it from what I can see, but I'm curious at this point.

There's a robot you can make I think it's called a recursorbot which acts like the Cerulean Robotics machine and lets you make robots anywhere, but that takes up robot points and weighs 90lb when not in use. You can also try making a separate plugin or editing one of Robco's esp files so that you get a note that is just a copy/paste of the Junkbot readme.

Roleplayers Alternative Start is the definitive one. Along with doing all the usual character creation stuff, it lets you choose your starting wealth level and occupation/lifestyle from a huge list. Your chosen job changes your starting location (there's a ton of random ones, but your job affects which ones you're able to be dropped into), gear, reputations, and some starting perk benefits. Like you can be a traveling politician, NCR soldier (or deserter), Brotherhood of Steel knight who had his orders accidentally destroyed, gladiator from the Thorn, etc. And you can always choose to start at Doc Mitchell's front door if you want to go through the story normally. It's one of my immediate go-to mods under all circumstances.

The only issue I have with literally any of it is that even choosing the poorest start gives you more stuff and caps than if you began the game normally (discounting the Courier's Stash packs), so you may want to drop some stuff at the beginning to suit how you want to start.

So I got myself Project Nevada, JSawyer, Poco Bueno and RobCo Certified, and game crashes on launch (without displaying anything), when I click "Launch NVSE" on FOMM.

Disabling Companion Core from RobCo Certified seemed to help, but on second launch it still crashes before I even see the copyright stuff at the start. I suspect it's something about my load order, but It's not like I have a million mods or something:

The obvious one is that JSawyer requires all the DLCs, including the Courier's Stash one. Read the readme's and/or description pages of mods and pay attention to requirements & install/uninstall instructions.

Edit:
Also FOMM gives a warning when you have a plugin active with a missing master file. The plugin in question should be highlighted. It might just be the FOMM fork that does though.
Alternatively running your loadorder through FNVEdit will also point out missing masters.

I had checked jsawyer.esp for masters and I didn't see the packs anywhere, just FalloutNV and the four DLC. Might have been cause I had removed the files so that they wouldn't appear or something. Fixed now, so thanks once more. :)

No, but check out the Fallout 3 mod "Weapon Enhancement Project", which is very good and Millenia-esque. Just don't use the ESPs that come with it.

Apparently there is a version in the works for New Vegas proper, which is sweet.

As an aside, I can tell you straight up your load order for Lombard Station is incorrect. I'm not totally certain it'll affect anything, but the readme says the optional esps need to be loaded their corresponding DLCs were released in, and LS is not in the LOOT Master File so it just kinda durrs out and falls back on conflict detection instead. I'd advise either manually telling LOOT to load the esps one after the other, or just merge them all with the fnvedit merge script.
