📋 About This Mod
Lucky 38 Elevator Tweak
Description
In the vanilla game, you can only access the Lucky 38 Cocktail Lounge after talking to House at least once. If you're playing a game in which you pretty much just go straight in and kill him, never talking to him, you'll be locked out of accessing the Cocktail Lounge and grabbing the last Snow Globe.
With this mod, when you kill House, you'll be able to access the Cocktail Lounge.
V1 - 15/08/2014: Inital release

For Fallout: New Vegas players who like to fully explore the Strip and hate locked doors. If you're doing a House-killing playthrough and want to see the Cocktail Lounge, this is for you. Skip it if you never kill House or don't care about that area.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the game's DLCs installed, as the Lucky 38 area is part of the base game but some mods require them.
- If you're using a mod manager, just drop the file into your load order; otherwise, place it in the Data folder and enable it in the launcher.
- Test the mod after killing House to confirm the door unlocks—if it doesn't, check for conflicts with other Lucky 38 overhauls.
