📋 About This Mod
This mod attempts to make the downtown D. C. area feel more post apocalyptic, by adding things like vehicles, rubble, craters etc. However, the changes are not too extensive at the moment.
Version 2 - Added more vehicles on the roads around the city and cleaned with Fo3Edit
At the moment I have not edited the Navmesh, but have tested it with multiple NPC's and they all seemed to get on fine, although please let me know if anyone finds any problem areas. Screenshots show some before and after.
Does not conflict with D. C Interiors. Influenced by post apocalyptic concept artwork and films.

- Lightweight and easy to install—just drop it in and you're good.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014—might be finicky with newer mod setups or the GOG version.
