📋 About This Mod
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Introduction -
Havasu Blues is an expansion modification for Fallout: New Vegas in two acts. The modification seeks to add about 6-10 hours of content in a brand new worldspace with a bunch of quests and locations. The mod takes place in western Arizona around the area of Lake Havasu City, with the first act being a fairly guided survival experience in an irradiated valley and the second act being more open, revolving around the town of Havasu itself and the surrounding areas.
There are lots of characters to talk to, locations to explore and quests to solve. Come on down to Havasu!

- Requirements -
All DLCs, 4GB Patched game, xNVSE, JIP LN NVSE.
I also recommend the Bugfixing Patch by detra.
