📋 About This Mod

The Sierra Madre is a very intimidating building, and its imposing structure is visible all throughout the DLC - that is, until you actually go to it. Instead, the gate in the villa just teleports you to the lobby very anticlimactically. This mod aims to fix that by adding a new segment to Sierra Madre where the Villa Gate leads to a small area leading up to the Madre, letting you see the imposing building firsthand and walk to the doors.

Of course, the Gala Event has drawn a lot of Ghost People to the Madre, so don't expect the journey to be easy.

  • []Fallout New Vegas

    []Dead Money

    This should be compatible with any Dead Money mod, as it only makes changes to where the villa gate and Sierra Madre lobby doors connect to, which I don't think any other mod changes.

    • []Massive thanks to EPDGaffney for mesh & texture edits to the Sierra Madre building that make it usable

      []Whaledon for the Sierra Madre Exterior Fixed mod, which I used as a base for the Sierra Madre model used here

      []Me, I guess

      []Mister Geck for not looking this way.
