📋 About This Mod
Notice: For the first time in almost a year, I checked back up on this mod, and saw that people were still playing it and following it. I thought that everyone should know that "The Lost City" mod has been cancelled. However, our group has been working on a mod following the same genre for almost a year now. Though it will carry the same name,(Decaying Reality) it will not be related to the lost city in any way. We're starting fresh. This new mod we're making offers a completely new world space with complete landscape rather than just a city. Hours of quest(that actually work this time), and fully voiced characters. This mod is turning out much better mainly because we're now a more experienced team of developers. Regardless, we thank you for your feedback and support while we struggled through "The Lost City", and hope to see you offering support for our next project. We will probably be making a discussion page for the new mod(yes, it will have pictures) within the next week or so.

Description:
The esoteric city, lost to time for the past 200 years, has reappeared, and fallen under siege by a mysterious outbreak of freakish, unnatural mockeries of life. The few who still cling to their humanity have none left, surviving by becoming frenzied killers, or seeking to see all remnants of the town neutralized to hide what has happened there. Though the city has rewards beyond imagining for the taking, it is liken to the nine circles of hell. Can you survive through the realm of “The Lost City”?
You can get to The Lost City by going through a sewer gate behind Doc Mitchell's House in Goodsprings. There's even a map marker.
New Location: A high-detail, hand navmeshed, and extremely large city for players to explore, and fight their way through.
New Foes: Several new enemies have been added. Your main threat are the Zombies who wander the streets of the city. However, beware of the crazed survivors that have lost it, shooting at anything that moves. You must also beware of the city’s Ex-Militia, who are armed with military grade weapons, and armor.
New weapons: 8 new guns, and several melee weapons of various types. See if you can find them all.
Climate: A dynamic, new and eerie climate setting, allowing the the climate to randomly fade to almost pitch black. My advice, use your pip-boy light.
Installation:
Install like any other mod. However, if you’re a Newbie to modding, I’ll introduce you to the simple process.
I always recommend using FOMM (Fallout Mod Manager). Not only does this ensure you install the mod properly, it is the best way to ensure Archive Invalidation is fixed. However, if you wish to install the mod manually, follow these steps.
Steam Version:
Decaying Reality: The Lost City is a survival-horror quest mod for Fallout: New Vegas, the first part of a series. It adds new enemies, weapons, and a handcrafted city. With 328 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated addition for horror fans.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 328 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads.
- Handcrafted city suggests a lot of effort went into world design.
- Survival-horror theme is a fresh twist for New Vegas quest mods.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014, so likely outdated and may have compatibility issues with current game versions or mods.
- Only part 1 of a series, so the story may feel incomplete if later parts never released.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who crave a horror-themed adventure with custom locations and gear. If you're a completionist who wants to explore a handcrafted city and face new challenges, this is worth a shot. Skip if you prefer lore-friendly or polished mods, as this is an older, niche creation.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2014, consider using a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Mod Organizer 2 to keep your load order clean.
- Check the mod's comment section on Nexus for any known issues or user fixes, as the description is sparse.
- If you're using other quest mods, load this one early in your load order to avoid conflicts.
