✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 417 endorsements and over 13,000 downloads — clearly a trusted mod.
- Saves you from the lengthy intro every time you start a new character.
- Works for both regular and hardcore modes, so you're covered no matter how you play.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2010 — may have compatibility issues with newer game versions or DLC.
- Only offers a single starting location, so you're stuck with the same spawn point every time.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who've seen the intro a hundred times and just want to get into character creation fast. Also great for hardcore mode enthusiasts who want to skip the tutorial without missing out on default gear. Skip if you're a first-time player who wants the full intro experience.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the save files in your Documents/My Games/FalloutNV/Saves folder, not the game's install directory.
- If you're using mods that alter starting items or the Goodsprings area, this mod might conflict — test with a new character first.
- Since it's an old mod, consider using a mod manager to keep track of it and avoid overwriting your own saves.
