📋 About This Mod
DESCRIPTION
This mod animates the Dino's thermometer in Novac to make it functional. The thermometer's temperature will rise at sunrise to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, stay at 100 degrees during the day, drop to 40 degrees at sunset, and stay at 40 degrees all night until sunrise.
As a bonus, I added a flicker to the letters and numbers on the sign.
INSTALLATION
Extract the NOVAC DINO ANIMATION.rar in your FNV data folder.

For Fallout: New Vegas players who enjoy small atmospheric details that make the world feel alive. If you're a fan of Novac and want a little extra immersion without major gameplay changes, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for gameplay overhauls or content additions.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod files in your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex or FOMM.
