📋 About This Mod
Now included in Mojave NPCs.
Overview
In the GECK there are 6 troopers named 188NCRTrooperA/B/C/D/E/F, at release only B and D were found in game and while patching the game Obsidian disabled the latter, leaving only 188NCRTrooperB around (both Uncut Wasteland and Outside Bets restore the other trooper). I placed the other 4 troopers around the area and gave them a large sandbox radius (1024), meaning they will use pretty much all the idle markers around to lean against walls, smoke, sit, wander. I've left the "sleeping" box unticked as there are not enough beds around if you use Uncut Wasteland or Outside Bets.
Notes
There's no clue in the GECK overview of the 188 about which positions these 4 soldiers would have occupied, they just reused the same packages as the 2 troopers that originally made it in the game (which suggests more beds were probably intended to be around), so I placed them where I felt more appropriate.Installation
Use a mod manager or manually extract the .rar content into the data folder.
Starting from version 2. 0, the mod has built-in FPGE support and no longer requires a separate patch.

💡 Beginner Tips

- Check if you have other mods that alter the 188 Trading Post area — they might conflict with the restored troopers.
