💡 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.
