📋 About This Mod

The legendary Salt Lake Stories by Yossarian22 and Radioactivman is a "new lands" type DLC-sized mod that takes the player on a dialogue-driven journey through the wastelands of Utah and east Nevada. The mod is from the early days of FNV modding, and this esm addresses its outdated aspects and also its unfinished business. Assembled initially by Darth Drongo and TheGreatStateofAlaska, we eventually made contact with one of the mod authors, Radioactivman. From there we were able to fully patch the original version of this project.

As of now, all aspects of the original mod have been fixed and polished over. There are plans to continue the main story of the Utah Railtruckers, and add a few new areas the player can drive to with more NPCs and quests (Wendover, NewCanaan Ruins, Toxicton, Antelope Island). That update is under development!

>> SLS starts by talking to Floyd just outside of Goodsprings. The tutorial quests will disable him.

>>>> UPDATE ALERT <<<<

Uploaded a more stable package. Simply unpack all of it into your data folder. LOD files are all there, but we need feedback as to whether it works for you or not.

>>>> This .esm version is essentially complete. Any errors should be small, like an unconnected portal or an NPC's headgear. This version should be safe to build patches or do unique work. Weathers and Climates are the only major edit remaining, so any savegames made with this version should stay stable until the next major update. That's likely Summer '26. <<<<

>> Changelog <<

>>Fixed massive amounts of written dialogue

>>Polished the weather and climates

>>Interior Lighting for all interiors

>>All NPC packages polished

>>Interior and exterior cell renovations across the board, mostly minor changes with few objects added and like only one set of meshes/textures replaced

>>Slight patches to the travel map system

>>Navmesh completely redone across the board

>>Added the worldspace "Deadwoods" located just NW of AridCreek (with big thanx to Radioactivman for digging up those old files from his archive and giving them to this project!) + Completed the Deadwoods NPCs and quests

>>Cleaned the very few script/reference/quest errors

>>Went through more fixes to tailor the patch more towards SLS original intended vision; NPCs, object placement, weathers, and some minor stuff

>>When you complete objectives for quests, we added markers to make it quicker for you to get to the quest completion point. The start and guts of the quests are still without markers, though, we did not change that!

>>> Update 1. 1 Changelog <<<

-Changed Floyd's introduction line into a Say Once. Capitalized "War" and "Vault" in his dialogue ab
