📋 About This Mod
Freeside Sign Always Visible
Overview
Freeside has a lovely neon sign with a wonderful animation. Unfortunately, due to the way that it's imposter region was set up, it is only visible when you get close to it — which, given the Strip's already-lacking skyline presence in the main worldspace, was a disappointment. This small mod makes Freeside's welcome sign visible anywhere on the game map, complementing the Strip nicely and giving a bit more life to the Vegas skyline.
Installation+Q&A
The standard fare. For non-mod manager users:
-
[]Extract contents to the Data Folder, overwriting any files; then
[
]Activate freesidelightsimposter.esp through the New Vegas Launcher or any other mod manager.Q: Does this mod impact performance?
A: Having an extra imposter loaded at all times may cause a miniscule decrease in performance, but a standard PC and modern NV performance mods (NVTF etc.) will see close to no performance loss.
Q: Compatibility?
A: This mod is fully compatible with mods that edit imposter regions thanks to hNVSE, and is also compatible with A Little More Lamplight.
This small mod for Fallout: New Vegas makes Freeside's welcome sign visible from anywhere in the worldspace, removing the short draw distance. It requires hNVSE and is a simple quality-of-life improvement for players who want to see the sign from afar.
