(Old) NEW: Thompson Aviator Edition, Grab it while it's hot. Includes better Shaped Authority and Shooter Aviators for all your needs.
Did the oddly modern, not really very old world look of the various eyeglasses of New Vegas ever get to you?
Worried a replacer could be "too flashy", full of unnecessary things like polygons and high-resolution textures?
These questions are some of the most important of our lifetime
complex and maddening to a degree never seen before
and to worry over them is to become stuck in them
The prolonged bane of any great intellectual, thinker, philosopher or megamind
At this point, the possibility of mental collapse is very real
well, worry no longer friend! a poorly crafted answer is here in the form of this very vanilla-styled replacer,
Old World Hues - BRAPSAAGaR as it goes by lately, or
Old World Hues - Basic Real Authentic 1950s Pre-War
(Less Bugeyed and more Bugfixed) Sunglasses, Aviators,
Authority Glasses and Glasses Replacer.
In full
These puppies are so vanilla styled that they... well, they're just rejigged textures and meshes from the base game and some mods, (full credits at bottom of page) achieved through sheer pigheaded will, a true affirmation of everything right and true and decent in the national character.
This mod has gone to some lengths, stressing some, to craft a few pieces of more fitting eyewear for New Vegas' NPCs
The styles I went for fit the games general 1950s aesthetic a bit better, while also feeling good, feeling real Vegassy.

Details
The replacements are as follows. the numbers between brackets are their base ids:
Reading glasses (0001c296):
They stay as similar to vanilla, wireframes, their shape has been lengthened vertically slightly.
Sunglasses (0005c99f):
Dark and murky lensed wire frames. Made to appear similar to a cross between the Ray-Ban ROUND METAL and the American Optical Pilot
Rimmed Sunglasses (000acda4):
New Thompson Aviator Edition: Adds Raoul Duke style Thompson brand aviators, based off the real world Ray-ban Shooters, Gold Frame Amber lenses will handily ensure you can always shoot the pasties off the nipples of a ten-foot bull-dyke no matter what.
Legacy Round Wire Edition: The same shape as the dark plain Sunglasses but now fitted with top of the line brassed frames and shooting lenses
Tinted Readingglasses (0001c295):
A clearer version of the Sunglasses but with silver frames
Tortoiseshell glasses (0005c9a1):
Styled after Ray-Ban Clubmasters, a mix of the Vanilla plastic rimmed Eyeglasses now in tortoise shell combined with a wireframe lower.
Eyeglasses (000340fd):
Ray Ban clubmasters again, but with a black upper.
Optional Files:
More Hornrimmed Clubmasters:
Replaces the tinted reading glasses wireframes with the hornrimmed ones from the Tortoiseshell Glasses replacer, to make this style as common as this type were in the mid 20th century/ in Fallout 4 (I am lead to believe, I don't own it).
New Authority Glasses (0011f881):
Makes the Authority Glasses more classically aviator-shaped and less bug-eyed. YUP Bugfixed and patched so its not on the side
Installation
Simply extract the meshes and textures of one of the main file's zip folders from this mod into your \Fallout New Vegas\Data folder or install with the mod manager of your choice, No ESPs included or needed.
The Authority Glasses De-bugeye-ing edit and "Side of Head" Yup bugfix is completely self contained, install the same way as the main File.
