Compatibility note:
- TLD should be loaded after YUP in order to implement one particular script-based quest consequence for 'Come Fly With Me' that would be overwritten otherwise.
- TLD's position in the load order relative to FPGE is no longer relevant, as their only direct friction point has been removed in v2.6. However, installing TLD after the game's ending is not recommended and will lead to bugs!
-> FPGE is not a requirement, all integration between the two is achieved by indirect means.
For a list of version-specific changes:
Please check out the changelog in the 'Logs' section. For a list of consequences to your actions, check out the compendium in the miscellaneous downloads section.
FAQ:
A: Yes. The majority of events and quest consequences will be triggered retroactively. For FPGE users, installation after the game's ending is not recommended and will lead to unintended results as the pre- and post-game scripts will fire simultaneously, conflicting with each other.
Q: I'm having performance issues.
A: That's not a question. Anyway, this mod adds many NPCs constantly wandering all over the wastes, as well as a few scripts running in the background. This can lead to frame drops by itself, even moreso if your load order is long and your game unoptimized. Check out the Viva New Vegas guide to see if there's more you can do to improve your game's performance and stability or check out their 'mods to avoid' section to ensure you don't have any broken files installed.
Q: Can you make a TTW version covering D.C.?
A: I am currently occupied with other projects, but never say never.
Q: Can you also do something for Freeside, the Strip and the Casinos?
A: For the time being, I've largely left these areas out for the sake of compatibility with mods such as Freeside Open, the Strip Open, various quest mods, etc. This may be subject to change. For the time being, however, I can recommend sandbox6's Uncut Wasteland in order to repopulate Freeside specifically, while BlooperReel's Casino Crowds is a great mod to add some more life Vegas' gambling halls.
For people who insist on opening Freeside up, I recommend using Qolore's Simple Open Freeside. He also has an equivalent for the Strip.
Q: Is this compatible with (XYZ)?
A: This mod should generally not have any game-breaking incompatibilities with other mods, unless specifically declared otherwise. Generally, your framerate might suffer when you have several performance-intensive mods installed at once. The worst you should expect in terms of incompatibilities is stuttering upon entering an area, or that NPCs will start fighting each other.
More specifically:
- Yes, this works with TTW.
- Yes, it is compatible with the Frontier and Fallout: New California.
- Yes, it is compatible with AWOP.
- Yes, it is compatible with Mojave Wildlife.
- Yes, it is compatible with Mojave Raiders (unless you want to enable TLD's take on the settlement of Underpass in the mod's .ini, in which case there is a patch on Mojave Raider's modpage).
Q: Can you please make a non-DLC version?
A: That is not technically feasible. Lucky for you, the Ultimate Edition is very cheap and many other great mods rely on it as well, so it's a worthy purchase.
Q: Do your NPCs respawn? How do they affect the game's balance?
A: Yes, those for whom it makes sense do respawn. Many also level with you and get better armor, equipment and stats over the course of the game. Most are based on similar vanilla NPCs in terms of stats and equipment, so they generally won't plough their way through hostile vanilla NPCs. Nontheless, the greater amount of NPCs will have an effect on loot distribution, especially since there are more random battles throughout the world, making it easier for you to loot the bodies without firing a single shot. You may want to consider using a rebalancing mod to slow down your XP gain, like JSawyer etc. or to simply not cheese the game if you care about balance that much.
Q: What's next for this mod?
I want to fix any remaining or emerging bugs and improve performance, as well as adding more reactive content while still trimming off fat where needed.
If you have any suggestions for future versions, feel free to share them in the comments!
Thank you for your support, and please consider checking out my other mods.
Follow me on Bluesky where I sometimes show off my WIPs and subscribe to my YouTube channel, which serves the same purpose.
My Nexus DMs are open.
How long does it take after until they normally appear, and is there a requirement like a level limit or something? I doubt it but maybe they got killed on their way? I'm playing with no savescumming/reloading mods so I'd really hate to get ambushed by them but I also don't want to turn off hitsquads as a whole lol
I haven't gotten far enough in my current session to have started "The White Wash," nor did I ever made the choice to reveal Westside's secret in any previous playthroughs; but, I do recall that exposing the secret will have Boyd sending NCR troopers to Westside to redivert the water back to the sharecropper farms. Since having NCR soldiers in Westside was not listed in the compendium, I thought it was a vanilla feature until I tried looking it up and not seeing any screenshots or relevant results of NCR soldier npcs being physically present in Westside. I feel compelled to ask because Hard Luck Blues' effects on the sharecropper farms were listed but not the previously aforementioned quest (mainly because both quests seem to heavily impact the NCR farms depending on what you choose to do).
So are the NCR soldiers present in Westside an obscure vanilla feature that's hardly recorded or did I miss something while trying to look it up? Is that scripted event already in the mod but is not listed in the compendium? Or was that scripted event never made in the mod due to circumstances beyond your control?
Thanks for your time if you're able to get back to me on this! (Also excuse the long middle paragraph if it went on for a while, it felt like necessary context).
They were pretty adamant that it had to be undiscovered vanilla content. That right there has to be one of the highest compliments of your work, ELPascal.
