📋 About This Mod

I'm officially a game dev, you can follow my progress on Instagram

This was basically a five minute mod. A stupidly simple five minute mod. When you get the NCR Safehouse Key, then, NCR Soldiers will greet you as one of their own, with a proper salute.

EDIT: In the update, it's enough to just wear any NCR gear, including any of their hats. Works with custom armours, just put on a beret or something as well. Way more roleplayer friendly.

I didn't even bother testing it, it should just work due to how simple it is.

Feel free to use it any way you like, I only made it because people requested it.

EDIT: Also, to respect the community, please don't vote for this mod. I get that it's a really cool feature, but it's literally zero effort on my side. Save the FOTM for people who worked for it.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-tested with 367 endorsements and 9,245 downloads
  • Lightweight and simple—does one thing and does it well
  • Standalone, so you don't need the full Essentials mod

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2016—may have compatibility issues with current game versions or mods
  • Limited to NCR NPCs only; doesn't affect other factions
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout: New Vegas players who want a bit more immersion from NCR troops without overhauling the whole game. If you're already using Thumblesteen's Essentials mod, you don't need this. Skip if you're looking for a major gameplay change—this is a tiny flavor addition.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a simple mod, just drop the files into your Data folder and activate it in your mod manager.
  • If you're using other NCR-related mods, load this one after them to ensure the salute feature works properly.
  • Check the mod's comments section on Nexus for any user-reported compatibility notes, as the description is sparse.
