📋 About This Mod

First of all: this is not standalone mod, you need FNVLODGen to make it usable.

xLODGen site is here -> link

If you don't know how to use it to generate new LOD, I strongly suggest to look at this guide: Viva New Vegas, you can find it here -> link. It is great guide if you want to mod your game in general. By the way, additional instructions from this guide for this mod are no longer needed, and neither is the esp replacement.

Description:

      Compatibility:

      Should be compatible with everything which is not changing the same LOD elements.

      I use NMC and Poco textures, so most of elements based on that texture sets, however there are exceptions. I have some plans to organize it one day, but as some of you knows I don't update this mod too frequently :D

      Credits:

      Zilav - for developing and providing support for FNVLODGen.

      NMC and Tapioks - for their texture packs

      Special thanks for RoyBatterian, Marcurios, Conifer and all the others I forgot to mention for reporting issues and activity on my posting board during my absence.
