📋 About This Mod

Requires the original mod, and replaces all other patches.

No more separate patches for Lucky 38 Exterior Remastered's custom Imposter Regions, instead this mod provides replacement ESPs that allows you to leverage the patches already created for one of three base frameworks:

  • []hNVSE standalone, uses the hNVSE plugin to automatically merge in a custom independent imposter region, removing all dependencies and ensuring complete compatibility with all modules.

    []hNVSE + Mojave Skylines - Lights of Vegas, uses the Signage module and hNVSE to apply the new remastered mesh using Skylines L38 region along with Skylines-specific tweaks and adjustments, providing a better experience for Skylines users.

    OR

  • Strip Lights Region Fix, alternative edition that uses the regions in SLRF as the basis for applying the L38 remastered model.

    Additionally included is the necessary patches and meshes to restore the base lights to the Lucky 38, including the spinning ring, the diamond lights and neon/stream lights when the generator is restored. This includes built-in, no patch required support for Lucky 38 Lights Redone. Furthermore, this mod patches the night model to be more compatible with New Vegas Reloaded and related Weather mods by adjusting Emissive brightness. Lastly, an optional file adds support for Real Time Reflections, allowing dynamic cubemaps for both the day and night models.

    A version for Better Strip View is also included that forwards all changes and corrects relevant coordinates, provided for the Strip Lights Region Fix edition.
