📋 About This Mod
This is my first mod ever, never had any prior experience of any kind with modding.
Sorry but, I wont be supporting this mod after release (I may in the future come back to it, but unlikely) I ran out of interest doing this mod but was determined to finish and release it.
If you're not using Dust already and are looking for a tougher, scarce, survival atmosphere i do recommend checking out Dust. :) Dust mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/57927/? by naugrim04 Check this out! (Especially if you felt Understone was too big): Understone Enhanced - http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/59082/? - by theofficialroxx Reduces the size of Understone, Unique dialog centered around DUST to add lore and more. Check his mod page for more details.
UPDATES! 02/06/15 - Update 1. 2 - Fixes/Gives Dr Jones the options to cure your addiction (this should've been there in the first place, sorry). Install 1. 0 main file first, then Overwrite with 1. 1 Update after & then overwrite again with 1. 2 Update. Project Nevada Version users just install 1. 1 main file and then the 1. 2 update.
01/06/15 -PN - Cyberware Version (Both Versions): This version provides the 1. 1 Update inside it, so you only need this file. It Enables Dr Jones to install implants (You will need the implant manual to enable Dr Jones to install implants). Dust Version: Removes the other Doctors locations in the 'I dream of electric sheep' Quest (Because Dust doesn't have doctors). IMPORTANT! - Upon enabling the doctor to install implants via the manual he will (for some reason) aim at you he wont engage in combat, after a small amount of time he will holster and be normal again, so don't panic when he appears hostile. Also IF you find the manual before finding an implant (starting the quest) the quest ('I dream of electric sheep') will still show the locations of the manuals (I believe the message that pops up upon finding the manual for the first time would complete the optional quest in 'I dream of electric sheep'). 31/05/15 -Update 1. 1 Fixes Dr Jones having no voice. Requires 1. 0 main file first, then overwrite 1. 1 update after Again, I wont be supporting this mod after release (I may in the future come back to it, but unlikely) I ran out of interest doing this mod but was determined to finish and release it.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 1,631 endorsements and over 56k downloads.
- Adds a functional shelter with vendors and repair, useful for survival playthroughs.
- Flexible: works with or without Dust, so more players can use it.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015, so it may have compatibility issues with current game versions.
- Author's first mod, so expect rough edges or lack of polish.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who want a player home with services, especially those playing the Dust mod. If you're a survivalist looking for a central hub with vendors and repair, this is for you. Skip if you want a highly polished or lore-friendly addition.
