THIS MOD IS NO LONGER UPDATED

Howdy, I made this mod two years ago. This was the first major mod that I had ever released. I enjoyed making it, however it is no longer being updated. Thanks to all of the people who supported my creation.

Journey to Vault 79

Description: A man named Sam Hudson is sitting at the train tunnel south of Nipton. Perhaps he's waiting for someone to come along and help him get to Vault 79. This mod contains 7 new quests, a brand new fully navmeshed small world with wild animals, raiders, a vault, 1 companion, an ending slideshow, 90+ lines of fully voiced dialogue along with much more dialogue without voice.

Q: What level should I be to play this? A: I recommend levels around 20 or so. It can still be challenging on higher levels, however.

Q: Where do you go to start the quest? A: The quest begins at the Train Tunnel south of Nipton. I really don't like making DLC-like messages pop-up because I feel it annoys the player and breaks the immersion of the game.
