DESCRIPTION

Beyond Boulder Dome, released in July 2012, is an ambitious quest mod that takes the player out of the Mojave to Boulder, Colorado.  I highly recommend everyone to play through it at least once, but as it has not been updated since 2013, there remain some bugs that can dampen the experience or even softlock the player.

With permission, I took a modified ESM from detra and built upon it to make an unofficial patch that aims to iron out these issues.

The original file from detra had the following changes:
  • Fixed every instance of Inner Boulder having duplicate navmesh
  • Fixed some broken audio markers
  • Forwarded YUP changes that don't require YUP as master

Since then, I have added the following changes
  • General grammar and typo correction
  • Removed a wild edit to Andale dialogue
  • Marked two "locked by key" doors that were never meant to be opened as "inaccessible" to prevent player confusion
  • Sgt. Renato's head now drops regardless of whether or not Firefly's quest is initiated, preventing softlock
  • Recipes for cooked cat and fox meat now only appear if the player has the relevant raw meat, to lower recipe clutter
  • The crawler in Outer Nevada is unlocked upon the player's return to the Mojave
  • The entrance to the Thunderdome now unlocks and opens after clearing it, preventing potential softlock by doubling back to the initial drop
  • Inspector Andre can no longer be exploited to give infinite C4
  • Added map markers to the truck in Boulder and to the two Gas Caves

New as of V 1.1
  • Updated some vendor inventories (Curious Caroline and the Brotherhood and Boulder doctors)
  • The gas truck only activates if the player activates it now. This should stop the infamous "you don't have the ignition key" spam.
  • The "optional" objective to talk to Harold in the Dome could apparently softlock you if ignored. It is now a mandatory objective; the door to the lower levels remains locked until it is completed.

Feel free to reach out to me for further bugs to fix and other suggestions.
INSTALLATION

The original Beyond Boulder Dome mod is required. After installing that, overwrite its ESM with this one.
