📋 About This Mod
Increases FPS while removing unsightly clutter, glows, and dust. Additionally, changes the Mojave wasteland into an actual grassy desert, exactly the way it is in real life. Removal of the bushes and scrubs and replacement with automatically generated grass not only increases your frame rate, it also covers up the same trouble spots that the bushes were meant to cover up.
With Clean-Deluxe, many areas of the wasteland will appear very much cleaned. The motes of dust that used to hang in the air will be gone. The litter which clogged the streets will be swept up. The grass will grow. But the FEEL of the game will remain the same.
Piles of trash still collect in many places. The air inside houses will still be dusty, and light will still stream from the windows. Nothing will truly be "clean" because people have given up hope. Clean-Deluxe is as Lore Friendly as it gets.
User Comments
"Before I got this mod, NV ran at around 20 fps on lowest settings because I have a toaster for a computer. After I got this mod, I can run around 40-45 fps, doubling my frames and making an overall better gaming experience." - KineticPest
"The framerate improvement is just a plus really. I feel like I can see alot more of the environment now, which is odd since, technically there is less in it. Bravo." - camplex74

not in a subdirectory of your Data folder, and not in the Fallout New Vegas main
folder. Any questions about how to install this mod that are that basic will be
met with a less than enthusiastic response.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 3,580 endorsements and over 100k downloads—clearly does the job.
- Simple performance boost: strips out visual noise like dust and glows for cleaner frames.
- Lightweight and focused—no bloat, just FPS gains.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019—might have compatibility issues with newer mod setups or game patches.
- Removes visual effects that some players might actually like (dust and glows add atmosphere).
For Fallout: New Vegas players who prioritize smooth performance over atmospheric dust and glow effects. Ideal for those on lower-end PCs or modding heavily and needing extra headroom. Skip if you're a visual purist who wants to keep every particle effect.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple mod, just drop the files into your Data folder and activate in your mod manager.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, install it through there to keep your load order clean.
- Check if you have other mods that add similar effects—this might conflict with them, so test in a new game first.
