📋 About This Mod
As the brief overview describes, this is a very light mod that just adding tents, bridges and shacks. I didn't intend on going overboard with detail since the player isn't able to reach the rooftops in the first place. Also for performance reasons, I'm making this mod light. I made this mod to give Freeside more of a feeling of having a residential presence, and to give Freeside even more of the feeling of it being a slum, without going overboard and to maintain the vanilla style. Enjoy! <3
Simple Freeside Overhaul
It's highly recommended to use this. It really adds a lot of detail to Freeside while maintaining it's vanilla style.
Simple Open Freeside
As the name describes, this opens freeside without having the gates. I've made a open freeside version in the download page. Ensure that when using Simple Open Freeside, youre starting a new game. Dont install/uninstall mid save. It will cause problems.

For Fallout: New Vegas players who want to add some visual flair to Freeside without heavy overhauls. If you're doing a playthrough focused on the Strip and Freeside, this adds a bit of atmosphere. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or if you use major Freeside mods that might conflict.
