07/19/2023 - Update with missing files for a unique hunting shotgun. Man! It's been a long time since I dug into this mod. Also, I'm a complete flaming idiot. Someone finally found a bug and filed a report over missing files. The update has just the missing files (meshes and textures). Just install it over the main mod. And, if AScytherianWanker is far enough into the mod's main quest to find this shotgun, he/she/it is a VERY rich courier.
Update to version 1. 1, 3/22/17, esp only: I felt treasures were coming up too much. I made adjustments and I like the new loot frequency better. Fixed necklace values to reflect the values of what you made them out of. I goofed on a couple of them. Updated NCR Coins and other money to the type to have correct absolute values. Old world coins will still be subject to bartering. Also included are new environmental maps to make the gemstones pretty! (Courtesy of weijiesen) There are now bitey things in the mines. Also, someone wanted Deathclaws, they got Deathclaws. Enjoy!
Kilroy always intended to expand his little mod into a quest mod. However, he was fighting cancer and he hasn't appeared on the Nexus since July 2013. It looks as though he may be unable to realize his modding ambitions himself. After several unsuccessful attempts to contact him over the last year, I decided it was time for someone (me) to try and make his vision come true. I love the original mod and wanted to see it advanced.
Since I was unable to contact Kilroy, Nexus rules forbid me from using ANY of the original mod's assets. Therefore, I have recreated everything using vanilla meshes, including Dead Money gold bars and Legion coins, utilizing completely new high def textures, and available modder's resources to make this mods items. I have read through Kilroy's comments, his ideas, and I've tried to implement most of it as best I could, with quite a few additions of my own. Since I recreated everything, it's theoretically possible to run both this mod and the original together. But, only someone who's really greedy would do anything like that!
As with the original mod, it adds gold and silver coins and bars to the Mojave. They can occasionally be found on NPCs, in containers, and lying about here and there. There are also a very few rare gemstones to be found, meshes courte
