📋 About This Mod

At the release of Fallout New Vegas in 2010, there were countless problems with each of the character designs. Obsidian was only given a time limit of 10 months to work on the game. The link below shows the original designs.

THE ORIGINAL DESIGNS BY OBSIDIAN <--

This mod attempts to fix facial proportions, hair color issues (some looking much too saturated, bright yellow or much too red), injured characters with nary a wound or a bruise to speak of, corpses that don't look like corpses etc. Fallout New Vegas Redesigned attempts to fix many of these glaring issues and improves upon anatomy and proportions to make each of the characters seem more believable.

- Many years ago when I made New Vegas Redesigned 3, there weren't any ENB mods around. So the designs I made were done with the original lighting in the game. Because of this reason, most ENBs will completely change the designs from how I intended (negatively). As an example, using an ENB will make the sky look bright blue which completely changes the color and designs of how I intended them to look. As an example, I designed characters in the Fort with brown lighting in mind. When you change the lighting, it washes out the design. Some are so bright that wounds and scratches look really fake and unrealistic. But with no ENB, every character will look the way I intended. Watch the video up above for reference on how everything shouldlook. If you must use an ENB, choose one where wounds appear dark in color and where Caesar's Fort's sky is brown and not blue.

This mod is incompatible with RubyENB

-"Gomorrah Redesigned version 2" is a redesigned version of “Populated Casinos”. It changes Gomorrah (adds some cool features to Brimstone along with music and dancing), the Atomic Wrangler (adds some girls at the top of the balcony and dialogue choices) and the Ultra Luxe bathhouse (adds swimmers to the pool). Disable "Populated Casinos" as it will conflict.
