📋 About This Mod
Description:
It's no secret that The Strip is incredibly underwhelming in vanilla. My goal with this mod, much like my other Lived-In mods, is to breathe some new life into it while not going over-the-top and tanking performance/making it stick out too much. I've taken inspiration and pieces from many different mods to provide as thorough and polished of an overhaul as possible. Check out the screenshots for details!
Performance should be the exact same, if not better than vanilla due to the large number of excessive draw-calls removed from the edited vanilla meshes. I created this on an iGPU laptop and never dropped below 60 FPS in The Strip proper.
Edited meshes based on Items Transformed - Enhanced Meshes (ITEM) and New Vegas Mesh Improvement Mod - NVMIM when possible.
Generating LOD is highly recommended or else you will get very bad pop-in/mismatched LOD with the new Strip walls.
This mod is NOT included in Lived-In New Vegas.
Compatibility:
This mod is NOT compatible with Simple Open Strip and I will not be making a patch. Despite being its author, I generally am not a fan of the work it takes to get running properly. If you want a good Strip overhaul based on Open Strip, check out The Strip - 2023.
Additionally, there is a standalone version with just the interior changes for use with either of these mods.
Compatible with The Strip NPCs Uncut - Content Restoration and Goodies, just load this mod after Goodies.
Automatic scripted patching for SUPER Lively New Vegas, Better Strip View, Sandy Roads, and The Great Mojave Interior Overhaul
I will not be making versions without x feature so it is comatible with y.
