Description

The long-awaited update for Mojave Wildlife is here! Now with group-based creature spawning!

Mojave Wildlife breaths more life into the Mojave Wasteland by adding more creatures to fill the emptiness that exists in the vanilla game. The main features are all summarised below.

More Spawn Points

Mojave Wildlife adds hundreds more spawn points for vanilla creatures throughout the whole of the Wasteland. Each spawn point was meticulously hand-placed and distributed as evenly as possible. Areas close to settlements and roads are more clear than the wilderness to avoid creatures straying into populated areas.

All the creature spawn points placed by Mojave Wildlife are based on unused generic leveled lists found in the vanilla game. To this extent, these additions could be considered to be uncut content. There is subtle variation in the types of creatures that spawn in different locations. The vanilla location types are: hills, mountain, valley, and valley road.

Some locations have had more spawn points added for specific creature types, such as Ghouls around REPCONN or Supermutants and Nightkin at Black Mountain. This makes the locations more believable and challenging. Some spawns that were cut in the vanilla game have also been restored (I recommend using something like Uncut Wasteland or Goodies to restore the rest).

Most creature spawn points in the vanilla game have a set chance of spawning a creature, usually 33% or 50%. The problem with this is that it can make the Wasteland feel more empty if you are just unlucky enough not to spawn a creature. By default, Mojave Wildlife makes all creature spawn points have a 100% chance to spawn a creature (this can be disabled in the INI file).

In Oblivion, it was possible for creature spawn points to spawn multiple creatures at once. This feature was removed by Bethesda for Fallout 3, and no alternative was provided. This means that all vanilla creature spawn points can only spawn one creature at a time.

Mojave Wildlife includes a new group spawning system for all the newly-added spawn points. This allows each spawn point to spawn groups of up to five creatures at once. This means that you can encounter packs of Coyotes, swarms of Radroaches, or a he
