📋 About This Mod
Description
One of the best things the newer games brought to the series is that Deathclaws no longer look like strung out geckos. This mod brings a tiny bit of the new mighty wasteland dragons to Vegas in the form of the ground/camera quaking when they move near you. Should convey a sense of weight that's entirely missing otherwise.

Me: Trixie magic
Someone: Is this compatible with X?
Me: Should be compatible with everything that doesn't replace the same animations, I don't know of any mod that does.
Someone: Why did you make this mod?
Me: I wanted it!
