Lucky 38 Complete Model (MODDERS RESOURCE).
---DESCRIPTION---
This mod provides a complete model of the Lucky 38 Tower, viewable from all angles: just as it must have been in the Original Open Strip Worldspace.
During Electronic Entertainment Expo 2010 (E3 2010) Bethesda presented some Fallout New Vegas footage that shown a New Vegas (Freeside and the Strip) that looked different from what we got when the game was released. The more evident difference was the fact the Strip was a clean, well-preserved and stripdoor-free area surrounded by concrete walls. However, the version we found when the game was released featured a splitted worldspace surrounded by billboard walls. On this iteration of the Strip, the player had more areas to explore and was able to surround the Casinos.
Due to memory issues with consoles, some adjustments in the Strip Worldspace were required in order to be able to play with stability. Some of the adjustments were the Billboard Walls and Doors that divided the strip interior, so less objects and NPCs were visible. Since some of the areas surrounding the Casinos were no longer explorable/accesible, the models were cut back.
This resource was created for a project that intends to restore the Strip to its original concept: A large, spacious, fully opened, cleaned, well-preserved, exclusive and fancy place, crowned with colorful neon lights and green areas. However, since other projects seem to have a similar goal, I thought it could come in handy, so I decided to share it with the community.
---FEATURES---
- Provides a complete model of the Lucky 38 Casino, viewable from all angles.
- Provides a LOD model for the Lucky 38 Overhang, a piece that didn't appear with the vanilla Stripworld.
---LIMITATIONS---
* The plugin provided only added the models inside the Vanilla Strip in order to showcase them. All this models will only make sense in an Open Strip Worldspace that has been expanded and prepared for them to be spotted from other angles.
----NOTES----
In order for the LOD models to be correctly displayed, you need to download and use FNVLODGen mod by zilav. You can get it here: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/58562
The E3 Lucky 38 Lights are not included. There's a nice mod that took care of this: Lucky 38 E3 Lights Restored by Faram AKA Biohazard located here: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/66725
