📋 About This Mod
A World Of Pain
by David LeMaistre aka Dj Mystro
Description:
Adds approx 170 intense locations to the wasteland filled with enemies and loot. They vary from small Gas Stations to huge maze-like sewers and derelict factories. Adds several days of new gameplay possibilities. A massive new linked Underground complex awaits filled with quests, NPCs with dialogue, vendors and some of the toughest enemies you will encounter anywhere in the game. Also adds many Mark II weapons, Armors and items to the game with enhanced statistics to help and hinder you throughout.
Everything has been done using vanilla content from the New Vegas base game. No DLC is required to play A World of Pain.
This mod is not to be used as a basis for launching an inter-galactic war under any circumstances. If I discover for now on, anyone duplicating the contents of this mod due to it's status as a modder's resource for that purpose and I'll set it to 100% copyrighted and if need be remove the mod entirely to save any more unpleasantness.
Optional:
-=WARNING=-
If you are updating AWOP for Dead Money from 2. 0 you should do so before you start Dead Money as the file is now a master. Do NOT update if you are already playing Dead Money.
A World of Pain for Dead Money. If you have the Dead Money DLC and want to add some exciting new areas and add some Pain to the Sierra Madre. The new locations are some of the most detailed and unique that I have attempted so far and loot is very scarce. Ammo drops are mostly in bundles of 2-8 rounds and you'll need to use the reloading bench a lot and scavenge from every corner to get through the new encounters.
Also added are several new notes, recipes and healing items.
Installation:
Use your favourite Mod Manager to install A World of Pain. It is compatible with FOMM, NMM and Mod Organizer.
-=WARNING=-
If you are updating 5. 01 to 5. 4 and have any AWOP quests in progress, you should finish those quests before updating or you WILL break your save game.
