📋 About This Mod
Why?
I wanted map icons to show what faction owned the place instead of something useless.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 687 endorsements and over 22k downloads
- Targeted change: only faction-related icons are altered, keeping the rest of the map clean
- Built on Johnny Guitar NVSE, a reliable framework for UI mods
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021 — may not be compatible with the latest game patches or NVSE versions
- Requires Johnny Guitar NVSE, an extra dependency you'll need to install separately
- Only affects a handful of locations, so if you wanted a full map icon overhaul, this might not be enough
For Fallout: New Vegas players who want clearer faction representation on the map without a complete UI overhaul. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive map icon replacement or don't want to deal with NVSE dependencies.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have NVSE and Johnny Guitar NVSE installed first, as this mod depends on them.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to handle installation and load order automatically.
- Check the mod's forum posts for any compatibility notes with other UI mods before adding it to your load order.
