Mojave Skylines - Exteriors

The first installment of the Mojave Skylines project, the Exteriors module recreates the skyline of New Vegas for the Mojave exterior, filling in the empty expanses in separated worldspaces with key structures, improving distant views and improving immersion around the outskirts of the Strip & Freeside.

Simply put, when looking out from Goodsprings, the city of New Vegas should look like New Vegas. When walking around the outside of Freeside, you will see the silhouettes of Freeside buildings. As you approach Camp McCarran at night, you will see the tops of lightposts from the interior camp.

Requirements

- Following the LOD Guide for Viva New Vegas, which provides all required LOD models, and working LOD for your New Vegas modlist with Skylines.

- Regenerate your object LOD and tree LOD after any updates. Requires the newest xLODGen build (aka newer FNVLODGen), build 130+, as per the LOD guide.

- Supports vanilla-like Strip mods that do not edit the exterior inaccessible areas of the Strip & Freeside, radical Strip overhauls are not supported.

If you do not follow the LOD Guide or use an overhaul that radically changes inaccessible areas, please do not expect support.

Compatibility

This mod has no scripting, does not delete any records and only disables 1-2 pieces of the end monorail inside the Strip area to fix a visual oddity with the vanilla strip connector. No custom assets, only meshes are 2 adjusted roof LOD meshes for the Freeside apartments. Otherwise it is ESM flagged, adds new records and otherwise only moves the major Strip structures & the Freeside apartment blocks.

The following Strip Overhauls have been confirmed compatible:

• []Lived-In Strip

  []The Strip - 2023

  []The Strip - 2023 Lite

  []Simple Open Strip

  []Strip Cinematic Lighting Overhaul

  The following mods have also been confirmed compatible:

  • []Goodies (load Skylines after the Goodies plugins)

    []Nuclear LOD (all conflicts are shared, identical files, essential dependency)

    []Decent LOD Kit (all conflicts are shared, identical files)

    For the following mods, Mojave Skylines - Exteriors has an alternative implementation and as such are not compatible:

    • []Better Strip View

      []Impostors and LOD Flicker Fix

      Definitely Incompatible Mods

      - Better Strip View, this mod partially implements Skylines changes. An additional mod will soon replicate BSV's functionality within the Strip/Freeside worldspaces with more distant elements similar to Skylines, however it will not move the Strip & Freeside closer together as in my personal opinion, this diminishes the feeling of
