Modder ‘OrgasmicSneeze’ has released a cool new mod for Fallout: New Vegas that adds PBR materials and new meshes. By using it, the game will look better than before. So, let’s take a closer look at it.

For those who did not know, PBR materials are used to make 3D textures look more realistic by mimicking how light behaves in real life. PBR uses several texture maps to tell the game engine how a surface should look – like how shiny, rough, or reflective it is.

In theory, this mod will work great with the upcoming RTX Remix Path Tracing Mod. PBR materials are needed for Ray Tracing and Path Tracing to look good. Hopefully, the modders will team up to create a proper RTX Remix Mod.

Right now, the mod updates 39 items and objects. It adds PBR materials to things like planters, office doors, caves, rugs, blood stains, fire barrels, and more. From what I can tell, it doesn’t yet update most of the terrain textures. The modder plans to add more PBR materials in future updates, with the goal of releasing a complete All-in-One version in 2027 that covers every surface and object.

You can go ahead and download the mod from this link. You can also find in this spreadsheet what the mod updates. Sadly, we don’t have any before/after comparison. However, I’ve included some screenshots below that showcase the new PBR materials.

If you are into Fallout: New Vegas, you can also try these other mods for it. For instance, this mod adds real-time reflections. Another one changes over 1,000 functions to make the game run smoother. Plus, there’s a mod to make the game’s characters even smarter. Another must-have mod is this one, which improves collision accuracy and fixes/optimizes meshes.

In June 2024, we shared a mod that brought some STALKER-like anomalies to the game. Moreover, you can get this mod that adds physically-based vehicles to the game. And if you love quests, there’s a mod that gives you an endless supply of new ones. Let’s also not forget the Visuals Improved Content Expanded Mod. This mod fills the surroundings of Vegas to make it feel more like a real city.

There are also some cool fan-made expansions for New Vegas. Four of them are being made as we speak. These are Fallout: Broken City, Fallout Van buren Remake, Fallout: Nuevo Mexico and Star Wars Open Worlds. On the other hand, we have these DLC-sized mods that you can grab and play right now. So, you can download Fallout New California, Fallout: Free Cheyenne Demo, and Fallout New Vegas: Out of Bounds. We also have Fallout The Frontier and Retribution 2. Another cool fan expansion is Tales of New Reno. Let’s also not forget Dawn of Stealthtenza, a new DLC-sized expansion mod that offers 3 hours of new content. There is also a demo of another fan remake mod for the canceled Fallout 3 game, called Fallout Revelation Blues.

Have fun!
