📋 About This Mod
Introduction
Viva Nuka-World (VNW) is a sequel to Nuka-World Reborn (NWR). But that's like saying a phoenix is a bird.
It not only adds whole new questlines, new companions and new locations - it fundamentally changes how you can play NWR and the base DLC as well.
What does this mod have?
5 new companions
1). Nicole - potential new leader of the Institute Exiles.
2). Lazy Susan - former Trader who is tired of the politics. She joined the Raiders but doesn't want to do Raider things, nicking her the name "Lazy Susan".
3). Erica - banished from the Institute/Institute Exiles and yearns for adventure.
4). Francesca - leader of the Traders with dark secrets. She only becomes a companion if you side with her during the Traders questline.
5). Henry - one of the rebels who plans to take Francesca down. He only becomes a companion if you side with him during the Traders questline.
They can only be romanced upon certain conditions.
Nicole - Finished Loose Ends and sided with her during the Exiles questline.
Lazy Susan - Finished the Raiders questline, had Francesca killed and didn't blow up the Traders HQ.
Erica - Joined the Institute Exiles (or the Institute if you removed the Exiles from the lore) and helped her with her two quests.
Francesca - She only becomes a companion if you side with her during the Traders questline.
Henry - He only becomes a companion if you side with him during the Traders questline.
More RPG options
-Option to skip the base DLC and NWR and play as a Trader from the very beginning.
-The ability to download Bradberton's consciousness into a synth, so you can have both rewards during Cappy in a Haystack.
-Clean up the parks, which is done for you during the Traders questline. Have them full of tourists and vendors.
A whole new settlement
A vault called Tairfield. It has a doctor, food vendor and a player room.
Lore configuration options
Don't believe the Nuka-World Brotherhood and/or the Institute Exiles should exist?
You have a one-time only option to remove these factions from the lore and both NWR and VNW will adapt to them being absent.
A design that adapts to your playstyle
If you play in a linear manner, you'll still get all of the necessary story and an expected outcome.
It also rewards you more if you are inquisitive and like to explore every single detail, with a new companion, more rewards, more lore and more XP.
Requirements
You will need:
1). The Nuka-World DLC
