📋 About This Mod
You will have to regenerate LOD, refer to the Viva New Vegas method here.
Simply put this mod adds a little dungeon to the Goodsprings Area, the area around this mine is in the vanilla game albeit empty and essentially pointless. The Dungeon is intended for early game characters, and is filled with Mantises. The player can get their hands on some additional dynamite, some food, XP, and maybe a Tier 2 weapon from a Dead Prospector.
In real life, Goodsprings was a mining town - though mines do feature in FNV, they are often near other settlements that had a history of mining (such as Nelson, and Searchlight) however the region of Goodsprings in-game doesn't feature any such mine, but does feature a cave, and Devil's Hole (called Devil's Gullet in-game) This mod was created to help remedy that.
Additionally there's an unused cliff/hill area northwest of Goodsprings, that whilst playable is essentially empty, and pointless (unless getting to Chance's Knife early) it's hard to say if something was intended to go there at some point, or not
A Patch for Mojave Scenery Overhaul is included. Not Compatible with other mods that replace/modify the area around the mine such as MoreMojave.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (21,939 downloads, 41 endorsements) — people are grabbing it.
- Fills a dead spot in the map with a purpose-built dungeon for low-level players.
- Recently updated (December 2025), so it's likely compatible with current setups.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 41 endorsements — niche appeal, not a community staple.
- No screenshots or videos mentioned, so visual quality is a gamble.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who've explored Goodsprings a hundred times and want a fresh early-game dungeon to poke through. Skip if you're looking for endgame content or major overhauls — this is a small, focused addition.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a new dungeon, save before entering — early-game gear might not cut it if the enemies are tough.
- Check your load order if you have other mods that alter the Goodsprings area to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to keep things clean.
