📋 About This Mod
Uses attributes from Honest Hearts: Disaster strikes when you join up with Frederick Turner and his Brahmin driving team. Join forces to find the culprit and eliminate them. You begin this quest by travelling to the Mojave outpost and Talking to Turner. This will begin the mod and it will run on from there.
This mod is mostly fully voiced. There are some custom textures, little stuff mostly recolours. I plan to do more work on this since it's a bit short.
Companions aren't recommended because since they draw fire not meant for them at a scripted section.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid endorsement-to-download ratio (249 endorsements out of 4,505 downloads) shows players who tried it liked it.
- Starts at a well-known location (Mojave Outpost), making it easy to find and begin.
- Quest mods add replay value to New Vegas, and this one offers a straightforward investigation-style objective.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014 — over a decade old, so compatibility with modern load orders and DLC may be shaky.
- Description is cut off mid-sentence, leaving install instructions and quest details incomplete.
- No mention of dependencies or requirements, so you might need to fiddle with load order or patches.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who've exhausted the main quests and want a small, self-contained side adventure. If you enjoy investigating and tracking down a culprit, this fits. Skip if you're looking for a large-scale quest mod with voice acting and multiple endings.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to head to the Mojave Outpost early in your playthrough to trigger the quest — it's right on the main road.
- Since the mod is from 2014, check if you have any other quest mods that alter the Mojave Outpost area to avoid conflicts.
- If you use a mod manager, load this mod before any overhaul mods that change world spaces.
