What does this mod do?

Have you ever felt that the Mojave Wasteland is too empty, its lore underrepresented by what you actually see? That it's not worth traveling by foot, since nothing new or unexpected ever happens in the desert? Does it detract from your immersion that your choices in-game lack a visible impact on its world?

All your worldbuilding needs in one package:

This mod adds hundreds of NPCs throughout the Mojave in order to better simulate the world as described by the lore, making it feel alive and dynamic.

With Living Desert installed, actions such as clearing out dangerous critters on the roads, taking down the Fiend leaders, enabling Cooke's Powder Gangers to join the Khans, lifting the Brotherhood's lockdown, nuking the NCR, wiping out the Kings, progressing through the main quest and many other decisions you make throughout your playthrough will engender noticeable consequences within the Mojave; the number of travelers on the roads may in- or decrease; faction members will patrol the wastes, establishing checkpoints and outposts; deathclaw packs and raider gangs will disperse into the wasteland as their leadership falls; some groups and towns will send hired thugs after you if you anger them and much, much more. New Vegas is more reactive than ever!

And that's still not all...
