📋 About This Mod

Description:

A moderately-sized quest mod.

Bullets, bombs and babka.

Installation:

Extract the contents of the data folder from the archive into your New Vegas data folder.

How to start the mod:

After level 20, walk the road from Goodsprings to Jean. Events will unfold.

How to begin the side-quests:

After returning from Potosi Pass, explore sites added by the mod (e.g., Wolf's Bakery). Events will unfold.

For better or worse, please leave it. I may not respond due to my busy work schedule, but I will read any and all user feedback.

- Freeside Open and its variants.

- This mod was envisioned as a two-week diversion comparable to I'm Moving On in scale. It is decidedly larger now.

- There are up to three side-quests after you complete the main quest, depending on player choices.

- There is no slideshow, but you can speak to the merchant at the Smoking Gnome (in the Boulder City ruins) for info.

- Willow Spring is messy. I attribute this to a running, 3-month battle I fought with the GECK. The GECK won.

Dramatis Personae:

Wolf: Clint Eastwood aka Albert Breach

Nash: Radioactivelad

Ghouls: Jimmy Whistles with a sore throat

Others: Skynet
