📋 About This Mod
Overview:
This is my attempt at fixing Red Rock Canyon, Such a unique location with towering red cliffs surrounding you making you feel like you're in another world.. until you see how god awful the LODs at base camp are and its mostly red dirt with some boulders sticking out here and there.
The Great Khans will look more like the raider tribe that they are with these additions.
+ 2. 0 Features:
+ From Bitter Springs With Love - More tents with graffiti and clothe lines scattered around to give more life to the place.
+ Lived in clutter - Hides, tanning racks, handmade furniture, totems, pottery etc all from Honest Hearts.
+ Bridge Shortcuts - Around the canyon you will now be able to set up bridges to get high.
+ Reactive - Fortification defenses pop up along the hill after Ringadingding is completed.
+ 1. 0 Features:
+ LODs - LODs will turn off from farther away (images show how close you need to get to disable vanilla LODs)
+ SCOLs - The secret to fixing LODs. Grouping large cliffs so they fade in together and might help with performance.
+ Stacked up - Built up areas with more rock cliffs AND filling gaps between the rocks making it look like an actual Canyon.
+ Decor - More of what is already in vanilla with torch lights, smoking huts, flags, totems, fences, graffiti, rocks and plants.
+ Climbing - See that Cliff? you can climb it. Mostly just to enjoy the view maybe find a cache of supplies who knows whats up there.
+ Bare Bones Version - Have a toaster for a PC? or you just don't like the extra decor? Bare Bones leaves only the Rock Changes and Plants.
Requirements:
+2. 0 Honest Hearts DLC
Generating LODs is ABSOLUTELY required or Canyon will pop in. Viva New Vegs has a step by step Guide here.
Compatibility:
This mod should be compatible with most mods as I didn't really touch areas with foot traffic.
DO NOT file a bug report if it's a mod conflict I will clown you for not reading the description so help me Todd.
Let me know in the comments if you find a conflict or compatibility with another mod so I may add it to the list.
IF I use the mod I'll make a patch for it.
