📋 About This Mod

05/07/2025 Update

This mod is now contained in the DUST Community Fixes and Tweaks mod, which merges a few very good DUST bugfix mods including this one! I would highly recommend utilizing that mod as it will be the most up-to-date bugfix mod for DUST. Thanks to krrptd for their work on creating that mod!


Having been inspired by Manan6619's wonderful mod DUST Tweaks - Better Repair and More, I decided to make DUST a lot less buggy and easier to play with. Firstly, thanks to Manan for graciously giving me permission to use some of his changes in my mod.

Here's what I managed to fix and tweak to my liking:

  • []Ported over a lot, and I mean a lot, of YUP and WMIM changes. A lot of them were reorienting clipping/misaligned objects, but I included a lot of other random miscellaneous changes, including adding NCR dogtags to relevant NPCs[/]

    Locations

    • []Renamed a lot of locations, including interiors, to match the DUST lore/naming conventions. This includes renaming Prospector Camps to Survivor Camps, renaming Goodsprings Source to Ghost Town Dustbowl, renaming Ranger Station Foxtrot to Survivor Camp, and renaming Nelson, Nipton, and Goodsprings interiors to match their renamed location counterparts[/]

      []Disabled location-based triggers for Lonesome Road quests[/]

      []Added/removed reputation markers from certain locations[/]

      []Changed rigged mailbox outside one of the starting locations to be a normal mailbox[/]

      []Made Vault 22 Elevator inaccessible[/]

      []Fixed the Big MT showing the Lonesome Road map[/]

      Misc.

      • []Bedroll kits now work (integrated YUP fix that fixed bedroll kit effect if there are multiple ones loaded in the same cell)[/]

        []Renamed a few random items that ruined lore, including Red Lucy's Bed, Wins' Safe, and a few keys[/]

      • []Disabled the rest of the REPCONN Test Site intercoms[/]

      • []Removed a bunch of useless keys from NPC inventories (such as Freeside House Key), as well as unlocking doors that were missing keys (such as The King's door). I also opted to add a lock the REPCONN Test Site hatch so it wasn't always inaccessible[/]

      • []Changed some loading screens to better match DUST lore[/]

      • []Updated the Threatening Note in the El Rey Motel to be more lore-friendly[/]

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have DUST installed first, and check the mod's load order—it should load after DUST and its patches.
  • If you're using a mod manager like Mod Organizer 2, install this mod and let it overwrite any conflicting files from DUST.
  • Since it ports YUP fixes, you might not need the standalone YUP patch for DUST, but double-check to avoid conflicts.
