📋 About This Mod
CASINO CROWDS
"There's not as many people playing at Gomorrah, so that means I've got better odds of winning big. I got this figured out."
Little Buster, 2239-2281
Populated Casinos is a good idea on paper, but it has several issues; multiple dirty edits and a general lack of polish leading to a lot of performance drops and general game stability problems. It also just adds far too many NPCs in general.
Casino Crowds is designed as a modern - and hopefully lightweight - alternative. Double the amount of npcs compared to vanilla, but not nearly to the ludicrous numbers of npcs added in Populated Casinos.
80+ across Gomorrah
55+ across The Tops
15+ in The Ultra-Luxe - Designed for maximum compatibility with other mods!
- Lively new NPCs with varied (and some previously unused) animations!- Minor adjustments to existing NPC packages and positions to feel more polished.
THE DETAILS:
- This mod has been personally tested on max settings with vanilla textures and no ENB. I can't speak for potential performance drops when used alongside texture mods/ENB but testing on other machines has reported mostly smooth framerates. Thanks to TheHermit, ElPascal, DanteFettman and Smiss for testing!
- Fully compatible with all languages!
- NPCs are clustered with some degree of awareness for both performance and general context. There aren't massive crowds of gamblers tied to every slot machine and seat in the cell, but there'll still be a significant number.
- Gomorrah canonically has fewer gamblers playing the games, so their casino floor isn't nearly as populated as their other attractions.
- NPC additions to the Ultra-Luxe have only been made to the Casino Floor; all other cells have had their populations untouched. The expensive atmosphere keeps the riff-raff out.
- This mod does NOT add NPCs to the Vikki And Vance or the Atomic Wrangler.
- Load this mod under mods such as Uncut Wasteland or other content restoratio
Casino Crowds is a modern alternative to Populated Casinos, adding realistic casino populations with minimal new NPCs for better performance and stability. It's ideal for Fallout: New Vegas players who want livelier casinos without the performance hit of other population mods.
