WHAT SHOULD I OVERHAUL NEXT? VOTE HERE!
Greetings, fellow wanderers of the wastes!
I'm thrilled to bring you another addition to the New Vegas Tactical Urbanism series.
This time, we're diving into a serene yet overlooked corner of the Mojave with "NVTU - Fisherman's Pride Shack Overhaul".
My aim with this mod is to turn the humble Fisherman's Pride Shack from a mere dot on the map into a location that truly merits exploration and appreciation.
So, What's New?
I've taken the Fisherman's Pride Shack, an inconspicuous location that had previously held little interest for most travelers, and transformed it into a far more lived-in and engaging place. The shack, which once stood bare and unassuming, now boasts a unique charm and character with hand-assembled planks and panels complementing the existing structure. Small fishing traps and a restored dock offer reminders of its original purpose, while a strategically placed scenic chair invites you to pause and appreciate the enhanced surroundings.
But the overhaul doesn't stop at the shack alone; it extends into the tranquil waters of the adjacent lake. Don't be shy; take a dip! Submerge yourself in the enriched waterscape and the tranquility it offers.
Let's Dive Into the Details
My vision for the Fisherman's Pride Shack was not just a cosmetic makeover, but a complete narrative and practical enhancement. I've added a makeshift workshop area with tangible loot, including items such as throwing spears and a chem stash, to encourage exploration and contribute to an immersive, lore-rich experience.
The Shack's history as a pre-war fishing area is also honored with the addition of a ruined truck and camper, adding another layer of depth and lore to the location. I've tried to encapsulate the charm of a bygone era, making the site a little more poignant and compelling.
What Sets This Mod Apart
The Fisherman's Pride Shack, despite having its own map marker in the base game, lacked a certain sense of charm and appeal. With this mod, I aimed to ensure that the location is truly worthy of its map marker. This isn't just about enhancing the visual appearance, but also about adding practical elements to the game. For instance, I've strategically placed pickable plants around the location, lending a more natural feel while also providing gameplay utility.
Moreover, this mod requires the Honest Hearts DLC as it makes use of the unique assets contained within, thereby offering an even richer visual and atmospheric experience.
Books Include
In addition to the aesthetic and functional enhancements, this mod brings the lore of the Mojave right to your fingertips through eight engaging books. Each of these contributes to a deeper understanding of the shack's history and the wider world beyond combat in the Mojave.
"NVTU - Fisherman's Pride Shack Overhaul" invites you to delve into a rejuvenated corner of the Mojave, engaging with its history and making it a part of your own story. With this mod, the Fisherman's Pride Shack is more than a mere shelter; it's a home away from home, a peaceful retreat, and a tribute to the resilient spirit of the Wasteland's inhabitants.
I hope you'll enjoy exploring and immersing yourself in this labor of love as much as I enjoyed bringing it to life.
