About this mod

This mod fixes and clutters the empty and ramshackle "bridge" to the Hoover Dam to be worth the NCR's raison d'être for being in the Mojave.

Hoover Dam Bridge Overhaul

Overview

According to multiple sources of in-game lore, the Hoover Dam is the single defining strategic objective of the Mojave Campaign, a military expedition which (if Hanlon is to be believed) claims the lives of over a thousand Californian soldiers annually. There is exactly 1 path to the Dam, which, in the vanilla game, has crumbled and is only traversable due to a few precariously-placed metal sheets. For what is both the single most important structure in the game and also the frontline between two of the game's major factions, the state of the bridge is frankly pathetic. How are caravans and the trucks the NCR is (implied to be) getting across? This mod fixes and clutters the empty and ramshackle "bridge" to the Hoover Dam to be worth the NCR's raison d'être for being in the Mojave.

It now has junk walls, sandbags, and crates in line with the NCR's other fortifications; while General "Wait-and-See" Oliver has fortified the front of the Dam rather than the rear, it at least attempts a defense.

Installation

The standard fare. For non-Vortex users:

  • Extract contents to the Data Folder, overwriting any files; then
  • Activate hooverdambridgeoverhaul.esp through the New Vegas Launcher or any other mod manager.

Compatible with all mods which don't edit the same cell. Enhanced Mojave Landscapes adds some cars which will conflict with the fortifications, but if there's any desire I could create a patch.
