Requires all the non-preorder DLC, as well as version 1. 3 or higher of my core ESM. Also, requires you to have brought law back to Primm in the vanilla game.
The High Desert is a relatively open-ended quest mod with everything you'd expect from a quest mod I made. A bit of dungeon crawling here, some wanton murder there, and a cast of (mostly insane) characters for you to speak with and/or violently murder.

The quest can be started by speaking with a well-dressed man in the Vikki & Vance Casino. (Primm must have a sheriff first.)

It is fully compatible with the New Bison Steve mod.
Some of the custom areas completely mangle quest markers. That's a cool vanilla engine feature, I can't do anything about it.
