📋 About This Mod
The Zion Trail
Version: 1. 11 Date: 19 March 2017 Author: Hwiccian
A Russian version by TwilightKhan is now available by at http://modgames.net/...il/96-1-0-22503
Description:
Ever wondered what your player character got up to in the time they were fast traveling to Zion Valley? Now you can find out as you can make them walk all the way there from the Mojave.
This mod provides a large new world space that joins the Mojave to Zion Valley, because I was getting claustrophobic and its good to explore new places.
There are new settlements, new characters (all fully-voiced, some unfortunately by me), some new weapons and outfits and a new set of skill books, plus some other useful odds and ends if you can find them.
There are 8 quests, minor and not so minor to keep you occupied on route. Some are essentially combat/exploration with others note based. There are lots of notes to collect because I like stories.
Requirements:
The mod requires all four DLC's as I couldn't resist using the resources
Dead Money Honest Hearts Old World Blues Lonesome Road
And Fallout: New Vegas might also be helpful
The main file is required (1. 05) and there is a patch (1. 11 ZionTrail. ESM and ZionTrail-NV. ESP) to fix a some bugs. I have not updated the main file to 1. 11 yet as I had real problem uploading it, as its quite big.
Select the zip file with your mod manager/package manager and install it with the Add FOMod option. Mod managers are such a good idea.
Alternatively, extract the contents of the zip file into your Fallout New Vegas Data Folder and place a check mark next to the ZionTrail.esm and ZionTrail-NV.esp. make sure the archive invalidation is activated.
If you use Mod Organizer (I have never done myself) I understand there are some issues. The are some posts which tells how to get around them.
Select the Mod with your mod manager and uninstall it with that. Mod managers are such a good idea.
Alternatively, remove the contents of the original zip file you put into your Fallout New Vegas Data Folder and delete the ZionTrail.esm and ZionTrail-NV.esp files.
Complete the Honest Hearts DLC first, if you haven't already, but only if you intend to explore Zion Valley.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge new area to explore — a full world space, not just a small cell.
- Community favorite with 2,450 endorsements and 168k downloads — clearly a lot of people enjoy it.
- Adds quests, settlements, and gear, so it's not just a map expansion — there's actual content.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017 — might have compatibility issues with newer mods or game patches.
- Some features are vague ('other useful odds and ends') — could be hit or miss depending on what you expect.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who want a fresh, large-scale exploration experience with new quests and loot. If you've exhausted the vanilla Mojave and want a new region to roam, this is for you. Skip if you prefer lore-friendly content that sticks strictly to the original game's canon.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to handle installation and load order — this mod is large and may conflict with other world space mods.
- Check the mod's comments section for known compatibility patches or load order advice from other players.
- Since it's from 2017, make sure your game is fully patched and consider using the 4GB patcher or NVSE for stability.
