📋 About This Mod
What:
Retexture of the Pulowski shelter.
Why:
d7's mesh is quite nice.
The original texture is not.
Since d7, when he deleted his mods, indicated that they are free for anyone to use, I figured it was about time someone did a retex.
How:
Substance Painter, Photoshop, Quixel/Fab, Blender, Nifskope.
Thanks to Norvito for the new Pulowski logo and other text. Thanks to Zealotlee for some awesome feedback. Thanks to me and a hint of ChatGPT for the poster used inside. Any mistakes or bugs are mine and mine alone.
Things you need:
NV and all DLC (obviously) since TTW requires this - these don't appear in base NV, so you will only want this with TTW. RTR is recommended. I did leave a vanilla cubemap for non-RTR users, but did not extensively test the looks.
Caffeine NVR is recommended. Screenshots use Caffeine and SALVO.
Mesh courtesy of d7.
A retexture mod for Tale of Two Wastelands' Pulowski Shelters, using d7's reworked mesh and optimized for Real Time Reflections and NVR. With 244 endorsements and 13,236 downloads, it's a niche but popular visual upgrade for Fallout modders.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 244 endorsements and over 13k downloads.
- Taps into the popular NVR and RTR setups for enhanced visuals.
- Simple retexture—no gameplay changes, just a cleaner look for those shelters.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires TTW, d7's mesh, and NVR/RTR—so it's not for vanilla New Vegas players.
- Last updated May 2025—could break with future TTW or NVR updates.
For Tale of Two Wastelands players who've invested in NVR and Real Time Reflections and want their Pulowski Shelters to match the upgraded visuals. Skip if you're on vanilla New Vegas or don't use those mods—this won't work without them.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have TTW installed and working before adding this—it won't do anything on vanilla New Vegas.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
- Check your load order to ensure the retexture loads after the base mesh and NVR files.
