⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013—may have compatibility issues with newer mods or DLC, though it's likely stable for classic setups

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod in your Fallout: New Vegas Data folder and activate it in the launcher or your mod manager.
- If you're using other mods that alter Goodsprings, check for conflicts—this mod adds NPCs, so it might clash with overhauls that change the town.
- After installing, load a save before entering Goodsprings to ensure the guards spawn correctly.
