📋 About This Mod
Adds clutter, NPCs, and evidence people actually live, eat, and rest there to the drastically overlooked Grub n Gulp.
I always imagined the Grub n Gulp as something of a Post-Apocalyptic highway rest stop on the way to vegas, but the vanilla game had like 2 or 3 shacks in the middle of nowhere and thats it. This mod attempts to make the place look more lived in and visited by adding evidence of travelers, more clutter, shelter, and scrap traders. This is in the same vein as my Lived in Sewers mod, hoping to make overlooked locations look more natural and believable, including environmental storytelling.
I STRONGLY recommend you download Animated Market Stall Cloth by Ashens2014 for some amazing visuals on the cloth stands.
BIG thanks to Yossarian22, maker of the amazing Salt Lake Stories (play it now) for his Various Meshes Resource pack with a ton of good clutter with open permissions. This was great for produce, clutter, tools etc that I used for clutter.
Additional thanks to dakotamanita for making a NVLO patch!
