✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 1,347 endorsements and over 424k downloads.
- Zero performance impact — perfect for modded playthroughs.
- No ESP means no load order headaches and easy removal.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires NVSE, so you need to set that up first if you haven't.
- Last updated in 2023 — might not be tested with the latest game patches.
- Only affects NPCs, not creatures or other entities.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who hate losing track of enemies on the compass when they're on different floors. If you're a stealth player or explore multi-level buildings, this is a must-have. Skip if you never use the compass or prefer a vanilla experience.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure NVSE is installed correctly by launching the game via nvse_loader.exe.
- Place the plugin in your Data folder and enable it in your mod manager.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex, deploy the mod and let it handle the file placement.
