📋 About This Mod
I wrote a book, check it out here!
Ever notice how the area of Freeside around Cerulean Robotics is annoyingly out of the way, and the only way to get there is a circuitous walk around piles of rubble? Then this mod is for yooooooooouuuuuuuu.
This adds two gates near that area. That's all it does. Should be compatible with most things. Absolutely not compatible with Freeside Open. Also not compatible with the Inheritance, but not to the extent that you can't use them both together with judicious use of the TCL command.
Known Bugs: Companions can get stuck on the new gates. They teleport right back out after like 15 seconds. Problem solved.
Inspired by this mod.
Maybe download that one too, and Freeside will be (almost) not obnoxious to navigate.

"But th3overseer, I thought you said your next release would be that 'High Desert' mod you've been talking about."
Why, yes it will be, voice in my head! But I've been working on that one for months and there's still plenty to do, whereas I made this in 45 minutes and it seems to work just fine, so guess which one gets publicly release?

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 196 endorsements and over 5k downloads—clearly fills a need.
- Directly addresses a common annoyance: Freeside's limited gates force long detours.
- Simple concept, likely low-impact on performance and easy to install.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021, so may not be tested with the latest game patches or mods.
- No screenshots or documentation provided, so you're going in blind.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who are tired of running around Freeside's walls to get to the Strip or other exits. If you value convenience and don't mind a bit of uncertainty about placement, this is a quick fix. Skip if you want lore-friendly or visually polished additions—this is purely functional.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a simple mod, just drop the files into your Data folder and enable it in your mod manager or launcher.
- If you use other Freeside overhaul mods, test for conflicts—new gates might clip or overlap with custom meshes.
- Make a save before installing so you can easily revert if the gates don't suit your taste.
