I'm trying to mod some texture packs into this game, for now i downloaded (but not installed yet) the vivid fallout all in once and the valius texture pack:

Vivid Fallout - All in One

2023 updateall Vivid Fallout textures combined in one ba2

www.nexusmods.com

High Resolution Texture Pack 2K and 4K - Valius

New high resolution textures in 2K and 4K.

www.nexusmods.com

Can i install both without problems or do you have a better one?

And do you have a good one for the character? possibly something that cover the dlcs aswell.

I'm installing everything with vortex so no complicated stuff please.

I also have the unofficial patch that solve a lot fo bugs installed (but the game somehow manage to still be a buggy mess)

Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch - UFO4P

A comprehensive bugfixing mod for Fallout 4. The goal of the Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch (aka UFO4P) is to eventually fix every bug with Fallout 4 not officially resolved by the developers to the limit

The way texture packs work is that the last texture pack to load is the one that wins. If you have one texture pack that has a texture for A, B, and C, then a pack that loads later that has textures for just A and B, then you would end up with A and B from the second pack, and texture C from the first mod would load because nothing was there to overwrite it. Because of that you could technically have as many texture packs as you liked, but only the winning texture for each conflict would be loaded.

As for other mods I don't keep up with textures too much, but what I can say is that you should completely ignore the most popular mods of all time if you're looking at mods that aren't textures (and probably textures, too). Pretty much everything there has been replaced with far better replacements in every way. One person I can recommend is this guy, whose sorting mods are infinitely better than anything related to VIS or anything made by its creators.

As you're using Vortex, it might be worth installing some collections to start with. https://next.nexusmods.com/fallout4/collections
They will do anything from giving you a nice baseline to doing all of the work for you, and you can always add or remove from those as you see fit. Having just had a look, I can see there's a FallUI one (from the creator I linked to above): https://next.nexusmods.com/fallout4/collections/pmmttm
https://next.nexusmods.com/fallout4/collections/cnoazc - this one has a nice step by step guide in there for the stuff you can't do entirely through Vortex

Yeah i kinda gave up with modding, the game is buggy as hell and can't keep stable 4k60 to save his live in vanilla state, any graphical enhancement would just break the game even more.

The game is not good enough to lose my mind over mods.

You might want to try DXVK, some people have good results. Might be perfect for a low-mod playthrough. https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/wiki
