📋 About This Mod

THE REAL FINAL UPDATE IS DONE AND HERE'S A RUNDOWN OF THE CHANGES:

-All images have been properly converted to .dds with proper compression so it's not an unnecessarily huge file

-Most existing images are of better quality through the magic of current AI upscaling methods

-non cool images are now cool images. for example, screenshots or artist's renders of scenes are now changed to concept art or existing loading screens. I feel like I didn't have to replace the vanilla loading screens completely, and felt like I ended up missing them. Only one version of vanilla screens are readded, and not every type made it back in.

-watermarks removed from Sunset Sarsaparilla posters

-added new image rendered by nissan720, credits to him down below.

-forged a lasting relationship with the original Heck Gunderson and saved his son.

Just to be clear, I have not updated the images section to include existing image updates. Images shown are actually of better quality than shown.

Description:

I'm not into the other loading screen/main menu replacers that use images that don't fit with the game's art, are low quality, have website watermarks, don't replace all images, use real life photos, use images from Fallout 3 or are just ugly. I gathered and edited a ton of images to get the best menu and loading screens I could. There are a ton of upscaled images and images edited by me. This replaces all loading screen images except for two that I liked. No watermarks, all in 1920x1080, all replaced, all good looking.

As far as loading screen and main menu replacers go, this is the apex, I promise.

There are two versions available. The Bethesda version and the Butthurt version. You can view the two versions in the images. There is only one change between the two: Bethesda retains the Bethesda logo on boot, Butthurt replaces the Bethesda logo with the Interplay/Black Isle logo. That's it.

Update Goals:

-Fix New Vegas logo blending into light images and add optional logo without 'ultimate edition' text.

-Fix size of Benny image(is 1600x900) to 1920x1080.

-Add Bethesda version of Mod for those who would prefer it over the Interplay/Black Isle logo.

-Redo Obsidian logo to remove faint rectangle shape around letters.

All done, now update goals are:

-Hope that people enjoy this little mod :)

-Hope AlChestBreach features this mod in a video Dream Accomplished! :)

-Make it to the Hot FIles  I seriously didn't expect this much attention but here I am! Thank you all.
