About This Mod
Illuminates the neon signs around the Mojave. Adds ambient colour and atmosphere to the game. Now you can bask in neon glow.
This mod adds custom ambient lightning to the neon signs using JIP. It is scripted, so lights are off when the sign stops emitting.
I've included a patch for https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/77093" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">LightBright Strip Overhaul, which tweaks the emittance values to add glow to the neon signs added by the mod; also adds lights to three of them (Glitter Gulch, Santa Anita, Pig). I've only included the assets that have open permissions.
Signs that are covered:
Welcome to the Strip
Lucky 38 (entrance & side sign)
The Tops (sign and animated casino lights)
Monorail Station
Ultra Luxe (sign & building dome)
Vault21 (sign and building)
MichaelAngelo's
Goodsprings
Vikki & Vance
Bison Steve
Mojave Express
El Rey Motel
Helios One (entrance and 2x rooftop)
Entrance sign
Freeside small
Freeside big
Atomic Wrangler
Silver Rush
Welcome to New Vegas
Monte Carlo Suites
Plug and play. Should be compatible with everything. The mod touches several of the always-on neon sign meshes. I don't know of another mod that does that.
Load order shouldn't matter, but let weather mods, lucky 38 replacers, strip light region fix, have priority over this mod. Didn't notice a performance hit, but don't expect your FPS on The Strip to be higher with this mod.
If you want to be able to see the lights from farther away, e.g. see the Vault 21 lights from The Strip entrance you can add the following line under in your falloutcustom.ini
fLightLODRange=50000. 0

Thanks to Wall for his mesh editor. Wouldn't have considered doing this without it.
