📋 About This Mod

Restores, cleans up and expands the hidden Four Winds location.

You will  have to regenerate LOD, refer to the Viva New Vegas method here. Patches are also provided for Hymn of the New West, and Mojave Scenery Overhaul.

Your Load Order should look (roughly) like this:

- Other Landscape Mods (i.e MSO)

- XLFourWinds (this should have higher priority over large-scale landscape mods)

- Four Winds Patches

To make a long story short, Four Winds is a hidden, inaccessible location; once a planned location and landmark between Dead Wind Cavern and Prospector's Den. The location had more work put into it than Spring Mountains suggesting that it was developed further. Whether due to progression concerns, or time limitations it ultimately got hidden away. It was probably designed by Jorge Salgado as many locations confirmed to be made by him bear the SL prefix.

Whilst the location was previously restored by BalotaSyndrome; that mod is a simple restoration that just makes the location accessible from the southwest. Despite Balota giving essentially open permissions, my implementation is from scratch. Rather than just opening the area again, it is also expanded upon, cleaned up and fixed to be visually consistent with the rest of the Mojave worldspace and no longer be barren. Unique to this implementation is an opened pass towards Dead Wind Cavern; giving a hard but alternative route from Primm to Novac. Lootwise, there is no guaranteed . 44 Magnum Revolver (or any chance for one to spawn) but you can now fight a couple of Jackals, find a dead mercenary towards the peak, a hollowed out rock at the peak, and a skeleton with a tier 2 wasteland duffle bag can be found around the base. An additional broc flower patch and jalapeno plant have been placed around the mountain. Additionally inconsistent pylon details have been fixed, as the Novac side pylons now "connect" to the Primm Pylons.

All hallmarks of quality from my other mods included; packed as ESM, objects disabled instead of deleted, etc.
