Finally, after sitting in my files for months, the road to the Legate's camp is back!
There's still more unused content there, but the current release should be pretty close to how things were pre-patch. I still think a complete overhaul of the area would be more interesting. (I do have the original navmeshes for Hoover Dam too, but I haven't used them yet. (2023-2024 2025)
Maybe at some point I'll add the 2 guys who were meant to follow Pacer to the Silver Rush. They enabled the wrong ones. Added. I'm sure there were other bits and pieces I've found over the years that is maybe workable.
There are so many other things that I wish I had time to get working properly. It's a shame I never gave a full release to The Tops single cell restoration. I gave a copy of it to a couple of people to try out years ago. I couldn't get NPCs to navigate to the correct door from outside. It seemed more like a limitation of navmeshes. It would've had endless compatibility problems with other mods though.
It seems that at one point that you had to walk with Raquel to meet with Pearl but in the final game you simply get teleported straight to her after talking with Raquel at the entrance to Nellis.
When Ranger Andy asks if you can check on RS Charlie you were supposed to be able to say you'd come back later when you know more or you could say that you're not interested in the town's problems. He has fully voiced replies for the Accept and Decline choices, but because his question is on a Goodbye line it could never have the choices.
There was supposed to be another topic with Lorenzo or Hardin that was triggered by a condition on one of the terminals, but it barely makes sense in the final game. Originally you had to wait a few days for your chosen BOS Elder to take his position, it even says as much in the dialogue. Post-patch it just fades to black and it's done.
Vault 19 seems to have a bunch of disabled content that is potentially restorable. It seems that you were originally meant to run out of the vault after placing the C4. You can even see the placed C4, but in the final game it teleports you out immediately, which misses the exit door script so you actually hear the explosion the next time you leave the vault!
Another thing I've always thought about unpatching is the addition of the Companion Dismissal Terminals (and the metal plank behind the Gun Runners one), but I thought if anyone really wanted to disable them they could do it by themselves, and what if someone decided they actually needed to use the terminal after all. I think most of the common lost/stuck companion issues have been fixed in YUP.
v0.92.9 Extra Collection Restored Mr. House Fort bunker choice "Goodbye means goodbye." Fixed L38 suite Jane not disappearing when the other one does.
v0.92.8 Extra Collection Unused Cry Me A River objective to give Jerry Med-X. Unused Lucky 38 suite upgrades. Also enabled Jane but not Marilyn as there's nothing to restore for her. Made Benny's escape elevator easier to access. When meeting Caesar for the first time he was supposed to be able to comment about you wiping out a number of NCR Ranger stations.
v0.92.7 Extra Collection Veronica's reaction to seeing dresses in the Ultra-Luxe. An unused terminal in Vault 3. An unused choice with Keene if you fail the speech check.
v0.92.6 Extra Collection Some minor fixes and additions. Restored the 2 Kings that were supposed to follow Pacer to the Silver Rush.
v0.92.5 Extra Collection Fixed a script in the Simple Open Freeside versions that was still using the FreesideNorthWorld.
V0.92.4 Extra Collection Reyes may upgrade the Camp Forlorn Hope guards from Troopers to Rangers after dealing with Hanlon the best way and gives morale points that were only present in the unused version of Return To Sender VMSRSGlobalCommBreakdown. Taggart's unused questions about the VR. Some corpses at Hoover Dam weren't persistent. Other minor updates.
V0.92 Extra Collection adds this and more. Abandoned BoS bunker items that were removed by Dead Money. Also made the bunker accessible if you don't have Dead Money. Foxtrot bunker enabled and floating stuff fixed. Arcade potentially quitting after you extort Anderson. Cass's pre-patch longer ending. Clanden's arrest. Jean-Baptiste's topic about his siblings. Jeannie May's reward for killing the ghouls during Come Fly With Me. Keely being in Vault 22 before starting There Stands The Grass and she drops her research notes when killed so you can give them to Williams. Major Polatli and Dr. Richards optional NCR$ cash rewards. Michelle and Samuel's topics about Primm and the 188. Alexander's topic to tell him about your achievements in Primm and/or Quarry Junction to try to impress him after he says you're small time. Oliver Swanick's barks. Neil's topics about Super Mutants and Nightkin. Neil sets a variable about Tabitha that was supposed to be used for the transceiver in the dish hut. Ultra-Luxe radio song 7 correctly plays Spring Song instead of Piano Concerto No 21. (This was added to YUP) Vault 3 klaxon lights that actually work when activating the door panel. Yes Man topics asking what his plan is for the battle before going to the dam. You can threaten to attack Yes Man. Johnson Nash's topic after killing all of the powder gangers and rescuing Beagle. Mister Holdout originally wore a trenchcoat. Lieutenant Monroe's sentry package. Restored a terminal in Vault 19. Restored one of Mayes' lines that was tagged for the press demo. Veronica's reaction to diverting the power to Archimedes. Restored and corrected Lieutenant Hayes topic for "failing" the prison attack. Julie Farkas' addiction treatment line. Nellis Array Generator tunnel lighting comes on after resetting the breaker. Chomps Lewis can now use his sandbox, eat and sleep packages after talking to you instead of staying in his dialogue package forever. Hector's topic about the water being special. Fisto's "Exterminate" line. Restored some of the cut objects from the original release, like the Repconn checkpoint items and clutter, and the RS Charlie skeleton and blood. Various other things.
V0.91b fixed an issue with Sarah's dialogue, and prevented the injured soldiers from being pushed around and having 2 dog tags each. ------
I've put together a huge collection of all the disabled/unused references I could find, beyond what was already included in the main files. If you haven't already got the LODs for the pylons or the restored Novac motel and you want them, read the stickied post below.
This latest optional file is not just patched-out content, though I've heard that some of it was in the game right from the start. If you're only interested in the patched-out content you should stick to the main files.
As always, expect bugs, performance issues, and broken things if you intend to play around with this, but it's all been checked out, seemed ok to me, and should be fine on a decent machine.
I haven't touched the Strip NPCs, and I'm not going anywhere near the majority of the Hoover Dam battle, as there's just far too much going on there.
Where to begin...
Fixed a seriously huge amount of speech and barks that weren't random so you would never hear anything other than the first line. (Updated and added to YUP) ^ this alone is worth far more than a single-sentence description, but I'm feeling lazy.
Bonus feature: now Raul can repair your stuff while in his shack without you having to fire him first. (This was added to YUP) The Van Graffs no longer become hostile once you inform Ranger Jackson of their crimes. Fixed: Lily's Passive Combat Tactic was set to change Raul's instead of her own. (This was added to YUP)
And the rest...
The 188 1 Civilian 1 Mercenary
Aerotech Office Park Fixed refugee AI and voices Restored/fixed Bert Gunnarson "Who are you?" introduction Merchant Caravan (gave them new merchant containers as they didn't have any)
Bison Steve 1 Convict/Powder Ganger
Black Mountain 5 Mutants/Nightkin 1 Extra Nightkin if you anger Tabitha by trying to escape with Raul. (Not Restored: Tabitha was originally accompanied by 6 stealthed Nightkin at the door when she thanks you for repairing Rhonda, but it ruins the scene, so I left it out) 4 Centaur Surprise! (apparently intended to happen once every 2 weeks, but the scripting doesn't work as they respawn anyway)
Bonnie Springs 9 extra Vipers (originally disabled and typoed in the script) 8 extra Cazadores! (though there's a random chance they won't all spawn) Fun Fact: The whole scene here with the Cazadores turning up after the Vipers have been cleared out was originally intended for Mountain Shadows Campground. Here's a little quote from the script "Moved this encounter to Bonnie Springs, and reduced the number of spawns, so that we can run shenanigans on adorable consoles."
Bootjack Cavern 3 previously unused fire geckos related to the quest "Bleed Me Dry" (1 is outside)
Camp Forlorn Hope 1 Trooper 2 Cazadores (the script comment suggests they were to be turned back on after the press demo)
Camp Golf 4 Troopers
Camp Golf Medical Tent Permanently disabled lights turned back on
Camp McCarran (and the surrounding areas) Extra Patrol outside with 4 Troops Fixed patrol markers in the camp Re-enabled guard tower snipers 4+ Troopers 14 Fiends
Camp Searchlight 3 Feral Trooper Ghouls
Cottonwood Cove 2 Mongrels 4 Legionary Guards 3 Crucified Slaves (it's likely there were others that were cut entirely and not just disabled like these 3)
Freeside Restored the third Rat-Chasing Child 3 Bodyguards for hire Improved their "Hire me" barks without resorting to any fancy scripting, though sadly the Kings bodyguards don't have any barks. Also stopped them barking at each other, and when in combat. 3 Drunks (much of their speech is bugged and some of the variants don't have much to say, but I've fixed up what I could) 1 Followers Doctor Gambler and Squatter spawns. Restored scene with gambler looking for Orris, if the Kings dealt with Orris.
Freeside King's 7 Kings
Goodsprings: Ghost Town Gunfight 1 Powder Ganger 1 Settler (if you rescued her from the geckos earlier she gets replaced with an identical 'clone' just in time for the gunfight. Perhaps not how it was originally scripted, but it gets the job done) Fixed AI packages (maybe)
Goodsprings Cave 1 Coyote
Goodsprings General Store 1 Beer (I wonder why this was disabled)
Goodsprings Source Water Merchant moved back to here from Jean and re-enabled his 'bodyguards', also fixed 4 buckets that were underground.
Gomorrah 26 fluff NPCs (there is another disabled one, but he's only there for scripting purposes)
Hidden Valley 4 BoS Paladins
Hoover Dam 14 Dead bodies Bonus Feature: The power plant trusses, generators etc. in the lower part of the dam are now visible all of the time, instead of only being enabled whilst you are down there. Swapped generators with the wired version. The bridge and fencing on the East side of the dam is now enabled all of the time. Many, many more fluff NPCs and troops both before and during the battle.
Hoover Dam: Oliver's Compound 1 unused section of forcefield glow 1 radio
House Tools 2 Turrets
Las Vegas Boulevard Station 1 Securitron
Legion Raiding Camp 4 Legionaries + patrol (the original AI packages for the guards had them all trying to stand on the same spot, so I fixed that too)
Mojave Outpost Barracks Re-enabled many drinks and glasses on the shelves
NCRCF Extra Troops for the assault (though not all 17 if siding with the NCR as it doesn't make much sense)
Nellis Loads of extra Boomers (including bearded ladies)
Nellis Tunnel Extra traps!
Nelson Extra troopers and corpses
Nipton 3 Crucified Powder Gangers
Nopah Cave Up to 8 new Fire Geckos spawn once the initial batch have been killed (1 Gecko was missing from the script, and the Activator and Codebox were completely missing so this would never happen in the stock game.)
Primm Extra Troop Patrol plus Deputies.
Primm Prospector Den 1 extra Prospector (was commented out in script)
Jacobstown More Nightkin (I have a feeling these extras were originally intended to appear after the end of the game, but as we all know, that doesn't happen) 5 Bighorners
Ranger Station Charlie 1 Dead Trooper (there's another duplicate one here, but he's in the wrong cell. Clearly, some mistakes were made when they split Charlie into 2 cells)
Red Rock Canyon 4 Great Khans
Repconn HQ 1 Mr Handy
Sharecropper Farms 3 Farmers
The Tops 3 Lamps at reception (Bug: if the greeter has moved from his default position and one of the lamps gets in the line of sight between him and the player, he may not be able to initiate conversation. Use tcl or enableplayercontrols if this happens, or disable the lamp)
Ultra Luxe 1 Speaker moved back into the room. (there are other speakers both here and at The Tops used for ambient music, but fixing this one makes sense)
Vault 3 7 Fiends
Vault 21 Gift Shop 1 Securitron (if Sarah is dead)
Vault 22 Extra Mantises and a surprise attack (2 scripts were set to enable the same mantis so I switched one so it makes the most sense)
Randoms 5 Bloatflies 11 Cazadores 1 Dead dog 9 Random Spawns (bugged?) 12 Fire Geckos 7 Fire Ants 1 Prospector's Dog (bizarrely placed, perhaps used by some other cut content or quest or other, gets killed by ants anyway, so sad) 5 Ravens (best of all)
Various other stuff I've probably forgotten about or is barely worth mentioning, or has been included before. There's a heck of a lot to keep track of. And yeah, I really need to clean these pages up, but lazy.
I think I've more or less got to a stage where everything of worth that was patched out has now been put back in its rightful place. There is some more missing stuff that has been spotted in the unpatched xbox version, though I don't have access to these records.* * I now have a copy of the records. There's not much over what had already been restored, but there might be something worth adding. It turns out that all of the disabled NPCs and creatures that I restored in the Extra Collection were actually enabled in the unpatched xbox version. Anything else that remains was cut before release.
There may be the odd NPC who doesn't behave as expected, but I don't think they should be any worse than they already were. Let's face it, the AI in this game is clunky at the best of times. I may decide to remove a few of the NPCs if it turns out they are behaving badly or have any problems.
The sniffer dogs are probably more of a nuisance than anything, and I'd guess that's why they were patched out.
There's still the issue of the glitchy utility pole wires for some people, so I'll try to leave their options open. It'll usually stop glitching after a reload anyway. I've added an optional patch file that will remove them. It will work with any version as long as it is loaded later. Ideally you'd want to delete their records from the main file if you want to keep your load order numbers down.
If you want the LODs for the pylons you can extract the original files from... Fallout - Meshes.bsa\meshes\landscape\lod\wastelandnv\blocks (You obviously don't need to do this if you're generating your own load LODs)
You need to extract these 4 files wastelandnv.level4.x12.y0.nif wastelandnv.level4.x12.y4.nif wastelandnv.level4.x16.y0.nif wastelandnv.level4.x16.y4.nif
Then just put them in your data folder at the following path Data\meshes\landscape\lod\wastelandnv\blocks
The Legate's camp gate uses these 2 files wastelandnv.level4.x20.y4.nif wastelandnv.level4.x24.y4.nif
Novac Motel was originally made from one large mesh, but it was later split up into 3 smaller meshes. This splitting up also cut out a couple of water troughs/planters from the front of the lobby building.
You can restore the original mesh by extracting the following file... Fallout - Meshes.bsa\meshes\architecture\novac\novac_motel.nif And that goes in... Data\meshes\architecture\novac
You'll also need to disable the records for the 2 remaining smaller sections of novac motel, which in the English version are... 17b99d 17b99e The El Rey motel will also be affected so you'll need to disable these too, though they don't clip all that much. 17b9aa 17b9ab
(I hate records starting in 17b as they have different IDs for different languages)
What do you mean? All of it was patched out. I would guess that most of it was for perfomance reasons or because of some of the NPCs having incorrect voice lines etc. The rat-chasing kids being one such example, where they were patched down from 3 to just 1.
I mean, some things seems to make sense more to me, like the billboard walls vs the car piles and stuff like that, and I was just seeing if there was just a file adding the patched out npcs
I just did not expect it. That so far, only this mods showed a different notification since the hundreds of my other mods were downloaded just fine. So i was wondering if that's the case. And anyway, thanks for the reply sir.
Why is there no 'Uncut Wasteland plus NPCs and Outside Bets' combination? It seems there isn't an option for people who want this combination but don't want to download 'Open Freeside'.
Rotface never moves without other mods that specifically restore his questline, such as Rotface to Riches. I know he still references the cut merchant Tom Dooley "There's a guy out on the main drag who sells second hand adventuring gear. He's got an okay selection, but where does it come from?"
Minor issue during the final battle of Hoover Dam with extra collection. It appears to have something to do with the enable parent function for some of the static meshes on the east side of the dam leading up to the Legion fort being broken. Eg the metal planks, sandbags, and overpass bridge leading to the Fort all spawn in with a very rudimentary (LOD?) mesh which does not have collision. Removing these worldspace references in Extra Collection ESP with FNVEdit fixed the issue; there didn't appear to be any actual changes or additions to this area made by the mod.
You have to use the doors for the enable parent to work properly. It would probably be better if the enable parent was removed from everything. Because the devs patched it in later it bugs out some of the persistent references that shouldn't have had parents to begin with, and it has one of those weird mismatching 17b IDs which is different in every language.
I don't know if this would interest you, but this is a fixed version of the Cottonwood Cove shack file. The mod contained edits to load doors, however the navmeshes were not finalized properly. I've turned it into an esm and refinalized the cell navmeshes and navmeshes outside the cell so it works properly.
The restored soldiers in the space between Nelson and Forlorn hope are standing. I have had this issue in multiple playthroughs with different mods. I don't know if this is a known issue as search is broken.

7 Fire Ants
1 Prospector's Dog (bizarrely placed, perhaps used by some other cut content or quest or other, gets killed by ants anyway, so sad)
5 Ravens (best of all)
Various other stuff I've probably forgotten about or is barely worth mentioning, or has been included before.
There's a heck of a lot to keep track of.
And yeah, I really need to clean these pages up, but lazy.
There is some more missing stuff that has been spotted in the unpatched xbox version,
though I don't have access to these records.** I now have a copy of the records. There's not much over what had already been restored, but there might be something worth adding. It turns out that all of the disabled NPCs and creatures that I restored in the Extra Collection were actually enabled in the unpatched xbox version.
Anything else that remains was cut before release.
There may be the odd NPC who doesn't behave as expected, but I don't think they should be any worse than they already were.
Let's face it, the AI in this game is clunky at the best of times.
I may decide to remove a few of the NPCs if it turns out they are behaving badly or have any problems.
The sniffer dogs are probably more of a nuisance than anything, and I'd guess that's why they were patched out.
There's still the issue of the glitchy utility pole wires for some people, so I'll try to leave their options open.
It'll usually stop glitching after a reload anyway.
I've added an optional patch file that will remove them. It will work with any version as long as it is loaded later.
Ideally you'd want to delete their records from the main file if you want to keep your load order numbers down.
Fallout - Meshes.bsa\meshes\landscape\lod\wastelandnv\blocks
(You obviously don't need to do this if you're generating your own load LODs)
You need to extract these 4 files
wastelandnv.level4.x12.y0.nif
wastelandnv.level4.x12.y4.nif
wastelandnv.level4.x16.y0.nif
wastelandnv.level4.x16.y4.nif
Then just put them in your data folder at the following path
Data\meshes\landscape\lod\wastelandnv\blocks
The Legate's camp gate uses these 2 files
wastelandnv.level4.x20.y4.nif
wastelandnv.level4.x24.y4.nif
Novac Motel was originally made from one large mesh, but it was later split up into 3 smaller meshes.
This splitting up also cut out a couple of water troughs/planters from the front of the lobby building.
You can restore the original mesh by extracting the following file...
Fallout - Meshes.bsa\meshes\architecture\novac\novac_motel.nif
And that goes in...
Data\meshes\architecture\novac
You'll also need to disable the records for the 2 remaining smaller sections of novac motel, which in the English version are...
17b99d
17b99e
The El Rey motel will also be affected so you'll need to disable these too, though they don't clip all that much.
17b9aa
17b9ab
(I hate records starting in 17b as they have different IDs for different languages)
Was that really the case? Was it really save to utilize the file after downloading?
There is a version for Outside Bets without the "Plus NPCs" part.
"Uncut Wasteland. Outside Bets"
I know he still references the cut merchant Tom Dooley "There's a guy out on the main drag who sells second hand adventuring gear. He's got an okay selection, but where does it come from?"
everything.
Because the devs patched it in later it bugs out some of the persistent references that shouldn't have had parents to begin with, and it has one of those weird mismatching 17b IDs which is different in every language.

0014F2BB should have Linked Reference 0014F2B8 added
0014F2BC should have 0014F2B9 added
0014F2BD should have 0014F2BA added
