📋 About This Mod



THE MOGUL MAUSOLEUM - A LUCKY 38 OVERHAUL

Overhauls the Lucky 38 (mostly to the terrible penthouse floor) in a similar vain to my other Casino overhauls.

MOD FEATURES:

LUCKY 38 PENTHOUSE OVERHAULED

DEFINITION OF PENTHOUSE:

penthouse apartment or a penthouse (coined through French appentier) is an apartment or unit on the highest floor of an apartment building, condominium, or hotel. Penthouses are typically differentiated from other apartments by luxury features.

....... Yeah, vanilla Lucky 38 penthouse, not so much. But not anymore!

New assets and textures to make the penthouse seem more like a penthouse while keeping the same theme and style of the Lucky 38. No more cement floor and dull bland grey everywhere and torn rags on the doors. The Penthouse will now look more like how it kinda should have looked imo. Photos of Mr. House during his old glory days, him and his achievements, the people from his life and more now line the walls. New unique curtains replace the old torn rags on the doors and the walls now aren't just placeholder cement. Dull cement planters are no more and unique Lucky 38 themed planters have replaced them.

Overall, the penthouse was so bad in the vanilla game. It was just a dull grey room which was just cement. It reeked of unfinished. I wish Obsidian could have been given more time to finish these important locations. Anyway, let me know what you guys think.

MINOR DETAILS:

As for the casino floor, the mod adds the Viva Las Vegas 2025 poster as seen in the game's intro to the casino floor for consistency reasons and I just wanted that poster to be in the game.

CUT CONTENT RESTORED:

This mod already includes my other mod 'Lucky 38 E3 Lights Restored' included in the latest version. New lights, light strips, diamond lights, window lights and more which were cut for consoles have been restored. See the Lucky 38 in all it's glory as Obsidian had envisioned.

SCREENSHOTS

Screens were taken without ENB as ENBs can drastically change how the game can look such as saturation and lighting. Vanilla acts as a good baseline.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Huge community trust: 1,849 endorsements and 429k downloads show this mod is a fan favorite.
  • Fixes the Lucky 38's unfinished feel—if you've ever been disappointed by the empty penthouse, this is for you.
  • Adds lore-friendly touches like Mr. House photos that make the place feel lived-in.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2020—might have compatibility issues with newer mods or game patches.
  • No explicit mention of compatibility with other Lucky 38 overhauls, so you might need to pick and choose.
  • Cosmetic only—if you're looking for gameplay changes or new quests, this won't add any.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout: New Vegas players who love the Lucky 38 but hate how barren it feels. If you're a roleplayer who wants your presidential suite to actually feel presidential, this is a must-have. Skip it if you want gameplay overhauls—this is purely about looks and atmosphere.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 5 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a location overhaul, make sure to install it before you first enter the Lucky 38 to avoid any weirdness with already-loaded cells.
  • If you use other mods that touch the Lucky 38, check load order—put this one after them to ensure its changes take priority.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to keep track of files and easily uninstall if needed.
