Nowadays IMO the best way to play is to install

https://taleoftwowastelands.com/faq

https://thebestoftimes.moddinglinked.com/

That guide explains how to install. It includes the most important stability and QoL mods for modern systems, and brings the features of new Vegas (like aim down sights or hardcore mode) to fallout 3.

You can choose to play through fallout 3, and then through the story have that character become the new vegas courier, or start right in new Vegas like a standard save and travel to the capital wasteland if you’d like.

The Wasteland Survival Guide expands on TBoT and balances the games far better, adds in need content, tons more bug fixes, and generally improves on the games.

This is great, if you're on Linux you can just use Mod Organizer 2 as well. It's pretty intuitive once you understand what the UI elements mean and it's very stable. Just don't update it because it only supports one version currently ha.
