Introduction

To me, Josh Sawyer's mod was always seemed like how the game should have been from the start. Of all my many playthroughs of New Vegas (and believe me, there's been a lot), for some reason I always remember my minimalist, vanilla-esque JSawyer runs as the most fun.

For those not familiar, jsawyer.esp was a mod made by Joshua Sawyer - the lead designer and director for Fallout: New Vegas. It is a difficulty and rebalance mod that maintains much of the vanilla vision, whilst still managing to feel new.

However, it has to be said that the mod might be considered quite crude by present modding standards. There are several errors, numerous inconsistencies, and patching it to work alongside most other popular mods is a nightmare.

That's where JSawyer Ultimate comes in. This mod is a completely reconstructed version of Sawyer's mod, made from the ground up. I've tweaked the odd inconsistencies, expanded the compatibility, and even covered some additional balance issues which were missed - all whilst trying to maintain the fine-tuned spirit of the original.

Description

This mod is a complete, from-scratch remake of the original JSawyer mod. It stays as true as possible to the source material, but cleans up inconsistencies and errors there were, whilst generally refining things and improving compatibility. Examples of errors in the original include:

• []Message and loading screen text didn't reflect some changes to perks.

  []The stats of some items had not been modified whilst similar items had been

• Some unintentional or ineffective changes were included.

  Changes and new additions were only made if I thought that they could be justified from a balance perspective, and if they stayed true to my perceived intentions of the original. A comprehensive changelog is available on the Docs tab of this modpage, which lists every change made by JSawyer Ultimate.
