📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Massive download count (372k) shows it's a go-to for crystal retextures.
  • Endorsement ratio is solid — 957 people vouched for it.
  • Simple texture swap, no gameplay changes, so it's safe for any load order.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects crystals from Old World Blues — if you wanted other crystal types, this won't cover them.
  • No screenshots or detailed preview in the description, so you're flying blind on the exact look.
  • Author hasn't updated since 2023 — might not be compatible with future patches or mods that alter those textures.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout: New Vegas players who want a more grounded, realistic Mojave and find the vanilla crystals too cartoonish. If you're doing a visual overhaul and want consistency, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you prefer the stylized look or want gameplay changes — this is purely cosmetic.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager — no load order worries.
  • If you're using other texture mods for Old World Blues, check if they conflict — this mod only touches crystals, so it should be fine.
  • Make sure you have the Old World Blues DLC installed, otherwise the textures won't appear.
