📋 About This Mod

Salt Lake Stories by Yossarian22 is in my opinion the single best quest mod made for FNV. If I could only keep one mod on my modlist, it would be Salt Lake Stories.

This overhaul intends to make improvements upon SLS in a somewhat similar vein to my passion project Zion Trail Enhanced, though this is admittedly going to have a lighter touch. There were however a couple of strange things about SLS that need be addressed, while ParanoidXGerbil has done a good job tackling some of the lost in translation awkwardness with their mod Salt Lake Stories - Player dialogue Fixes (please use in conjunction with this) there were some improvements to be made and some decisions I questioned from the original author.

What this mod does:

  • []Overhauls the Highwayman's appearance with EdgeUK90's amazing Additional scrap cars, converted by Tasty on the NHArms Discord to better fit that FO2 feel.

    []Replaces the MANY questionable character design choices made in the original SLS:

  • []Primarily, there were two minor characters (Norah and Sarina) who were wearing inappropriate outfits. This has been corrected with more modest clothing and appearances.

    []Lara has had the outlandish outfit and hair altered to fitting alternatives.

    []The two BOS members wearing regular Combat Armor in the Cafe of broken Beans have been made to wear BOS recon armor so as to fit better.

    []Yade has been changed to be not pink.

    []Several characters with poorly ported Oblivion hair with an unfitting or anime aesthetic have had their hairstyles replaced with vanilla alternatives to better blend in with the rest of the game.

  • []Fixed many of the added ingestibles not having consumption noises.

    []A few of the mod's unique ingestible have had B42 ingest support added. Requires Xilandro's B42 Ingest.

    []Detail passes have been made to clutter several of the mod's interiors. The Caravan Barracks, Mickey's Bar, The Bowietown Bar, the Restless Inn, the vault, and more have all had interiors either decluttered or overhauled.

    []Implements custom soundtracks from the amazingly talented NobodysNailMachine of the Fallout: Sonora soundtrack.

    []Various minor tweaks and landscape/interior changes for immersion.

    []Performance optimizations conducted around Mickey's motors in an effort to reduce crashes in the area.

    []Flora alterations to Mickey's Motors and Rum Rock.

    []Misc small bug fixes and optimizations to the original mod.

    []Bale's classic caravan carts have been added to several locations in the Salt lake Trading Union.

    []Bowietown external details:

  • []Cottonwood trees have been added as replacements in locations based on the real-life location.

  • Chain link, phone booths, plantings, murals, telephone poles, etc have been added to fill the city more.
