About this mod
This started out as mod changing the lighting template in Bucks Place, but eventually turned into a lighting overhaul of the entire New Bison Steve Mod by Mike Hancho as well as adding several other cool features.

Description:
The New Bison Hotel and Casino by Mike Hancho is an awesome quest mod that lets you build and help run a casino in Primm, as well as adding an awesome new player house called Buck's Place a bit east of Westside. As cool as the mod is, however, I felt there were some things it could've done better (especially the lighting) and set out to fix that. Eventually I ended up adding much more than I originally intended and this has gone from a mere lighting overhaul to having a lot of cool extra features not included in the original mod. I've also fixed a lot of annoyances, especially involving Buck's Place.

Features:
- All new lighting templates for the hotel rooms, casino, private quarters and Buck's Place. Inspired by the red hotel uniforms I wanted to have the New Bison Steve feel like a 1930s hotel, with a slight brownish-red hue giving it a bit of a regal appearance. Just like the casinos on the Strip, the New Bison Steve now has its own style.
- A bunch of small edits to items in Buck's Place, making it look more lived in and less, well, straight (as in everything being either parallel or perpendicular). I've also changed the books in the bookcase to no longer be named <missing name> (or something similar). If you have anything stored in the little safe on the desk, remove it before installing this mod. I had to delete the safe and add a new one as the old one had been added as a temporary reference (and therefore won't move if you've put things in it).
- A working crafting oven in the bar in Buck's Place. Now you can fill all your crafting needs.
- Anna no longer eats the foodstuffs used as decorations in Buck's Place, instead she's been given new packages for eating breakfast, lunch and dinner at specific times.
- Anna no longer looks like she cuts her own hair while using a muddled pool as a mirror.
- All the rooms in Buck's Place now have working ILO light switches (as of 0.3).
- Added lights to all the bathrooms in the New Bison Steve hotel rooms. They are no longer illuminated by strange black magic.
- Cluttered up several areas in the hotel and casino.
- Removed the abundance of Nuka Cola Quantoms. They're supposed to be super rare, and are now treated as such by the mod. Since Buck or whoever he won the house from, was a collector, there's a single bottle in his place.
- Moved the blinking lights in the hotel rooms so they actually come from the vending machines and not from half a room away.
Requirements:
- The New Bison Steve Hotel and Casino by Mike Hancho, NB: Requires the ESM+Sortomatic version!
- Interior Lighting Overhaul by Sarge198 (for the light switches).
Recommendations:
- Ojo Bueno Nuka Cola Machine by Tapioks. Buck's Place adds the only pristine Nuka Cola machine in the Mojave Wasteland, so why not use the best looking texture around to make it look even better. (fun fact, the reason I started overhauling Buck's Place was due to the fact that it added a pristine vending machine and I had this mod).
- NMC's Texture Pack for New Vegas by NMC. Overall awesome looking textures that comes in several performance versions. The way I filled in the workbenches (to make it look as if they were deeper) looks better with his textures than with vanilla.
- Old World ENB by Frantar. Great performance friendly ENB that works as well outside as inside, was the ENB I used when taking the screenshots.
