📋 About This Mod
This mod is no longer supported and is obsolete. Try the spiritual successor and much more complete Vegas Overhaul here. Vegas Overhaul contains everything from this mod + plenty of patches in a more complete and polished package and is still being worked on.
Description
This is episode one of the all in one version of my Freeside overhaul series. Keep in mind this is the first beta release so it will require some polish. Currently 90% of the buildings are covered with the last 10% not fully finished but will release soon after in an update. Currently includes 20 locations. The esp file has been marked as an ESM to handle any edits to navmesh and the plugin has been cleaned. Lighting has been much improved but is still not perfect but should be easily playable for vanilla users and modded user alike. All dialog has been spell and grammar checked.
Current Features

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Well-received with 339 endorsements and over 40k downloads.
- Breathes new life into a previously empty part of Freeside.
- Adds voiced NPCs, which is a big plus for immersion.
⚠️ Cons
- Marked as obsolete, so it may be outdated or replaced by a newer version.
- Last updated in 2023, so compatibility with the latest game patches or mods is uncertain.
- Only covers Freeside North, not the entire Freeside area.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who want to expand Freeside with new content and interactions. If you're looking for more vendors and voiced characters in that area, this is a solid choice. Skip if you prefer lore-friendly overhauls that stick strictly to the original game's vision.
