📋 About This Mod

I always hated how intense and blinding the dust storm was at night in Hidden Valley, so I made this quick edit to make it more pleasing to the eye.

Check the images to see which version would be best for you, the main file is more transparent and subtle than the other 2.

Don't think any other mods have touched this before.

Install normally, overwrite/load after other mods if needed.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod reduces the opacity of the dust storm at night in Hidden Valley near the Brotherhood of Steel Bunker, making it less blinding and more visually pleasing. It offers three versions to choose from, catering to different preferences. A simple cosmetic tweak for Fallout: New Vegas players who find the original storm too intense.
