📋 About This Mod
Description:
This mod introduces a more logical and consistent vendor system to Fallout New Vegas and Tale of Two Wastelands.
Every merchant now has a clearly defined specialization and strictly follows buy/sell flags supported by the game engine, implemented through lStewieAl's Tweaks.
With this mod, each vendor has a unique trade focus, which directly affects both what they sell and what they are willing to buy.
For example, doctors and food vendors will no longer purchase tons of stolen armor or scrap metal from you.
This change makes the game more immersive and challenging by enforcing realistic trading behavior.
The system is inspired by how vendors work in Skyrim, where specializations play a crucial role in the game’s economy.
This may make your gameplay slightly harder, but also more balanced and engaging by correcting the overly generous economy of the base game.
This is the first release, so some details may have been overlooked or overly flagged.
Feedback is highly welcome - I’m always open to discussion and suggestions for improvement.
I also plan to release patches for popular mods, so feel free to suggest which ones you'd like to see supported.
All vendors across the Mojave, Capital Wasteland, and DLC areas are covered.
While some decisions may be subjective, I personally find this configuration more immersive and satisfying than the vanilla system.
Some vendors still retain a general trade specialization to avoid creating unnecessary difficulty for the player.
- Numerous patches for popular mods are available here: Link
- If for some reason the mod doesn't work, check that bBarterCheckActorBuySellFlags = 1 in lStewieAl's Tweaks and Engine Fixes.
- Make sure you have all the requirements installed.
- The mod significantly reduces the number of Stimpaks available from vendors.

True Vendor Specialization NV-TTW - ESPless overhauls the vendor system in Fallout: New Vegas and Tale of Two Wastelands, making it more logical and consistent. It's a lightweight, ESPless mod with 72 endorsements and frequent updates, ideal for players seeking a more immersive economy.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- ESPless is a huge win for load order management—no plugin limit headaches.
- Active development (updated April 2026) means it's likely kept up with TTW patches.

⚠️ Cons
- Description is bare-bones—no specifics on what changes or how it works.
- No screenshots or detailed feature list, so you're going in blind.
