📋 About This Mod
- ------- --= Return of the Enclave mod for Fallout: New Vegas =-- --------
- Ever wished you could see the Enclave in the new Fallout games? Sneak into Navarro, travel to the Oil Rig, battle Frank Horrigan? Well now you can!
- In my opinion, Fallout: New Vegas is a lot like a new, Fallout 3 version of Fallout 2. So, with this mod, I\'ve added back the Enclave in all their glory.
- I hope you like my first mod, all feedback is welcome!
- ------- --= Description =-- --------
- This mod adds the Enclave into Fallout: New Vegas, with Camp Navarro, the Oil Rig, a forward HQ bunker and several other small outposts.
- Rather than the Enclave regaining strength again, this mod is about going back to the time when the Enclave was at it\'s peak, around the time of the Chosen One\'s quest. Except you get to choose what happens to the Enclave this time, will they suffer the same fate or will they be victorious this time around? You decide.
- ------- --= What\'s in the mod =-- --------
- Return of the Enclave includes:
- Navarro.
- Oil Rig.
- Forward HQ Bunker.
- Old characters such as Frank Horrigan and President Richardson.
- Several Enclave encampments.
- Enclave Patrols/Encounters.
- Enclave Vertibird Encounters.
- And more.
- ------- --= Who the mod is aimed at =-- --------
- I\'ve made this mod with people who have played and loved Fallout 2 in mind. If you have played Fallout 2 you will recognize several references to the original game.
- ------- --= Installation =-- --------
- 1. Extract the .zip file to the Fallout: New Vegas Data folder.
- Steam location: Steam\\steamapps\\common\\fallout new vegas\\data
- IMPORTANT: It is very important that in the \"Data files\" selection in the F:NV launcher you have the files in the right order, if you don\'t it will mess up the whole mod.
- Normal load order:
- Return of the Enclave - Fix.esp
- Return of the Enclave - Main File.esp
- Play as an Enclave soldier load order:
- Return of the Enclave - Fix.esp
- Return of the Enclave - Main File.esp
- Return of the Enclave - Play as the Enclave.esp
- 2. Start the Fallout New Vegas launcher, click on \"Data files\" and enable the added files.
- ------- --= Notes =-- --------
- This is my very first mod so all feedback is welcome and I\'m completely open to suggestions, I will try my best fix anything that is broken. Thanks for the feedback and I hope you enjoy my mod!
