📋 About This Mod
A mod for immersion mostly. All those highways with little to no cars on the road seemed strange. Around cities/homesteads you\'ll see less due to people using the metal for walls - etc whatever. Sooner or later I may add bones around the cars if it fits. Which thinking on it you\'d think that around cities people would @ least have some humanity and remove the bodies/bones when they moved the cars for whatever reason. Anyway enjoy. ------ v1a - reworked some interchanges. Several other changes between Primm & Novac. Set up a traffic jam @ the time that the bombs fell. This is getting pretty fun. =) Also added more screenshots. ----- v1b - Updated highway between Primm & Highway patrol station. Plus worked on Primms Drivein.
