Modder ‘Biggie404’ just dropped an awesome mod for Fallout New Vegas. It’s called the Landscape Texture Improvements, and it smooths out the textures in the game’s landscapes, making everything look more natural and real.
The vanilla version of Fallout New Vegas has a lot of landscape texture seams. These seams become extremely obvious when you are using high-quality Texture Packs. So, the main purpose of this mod is to smooth out these transitions and make the seams as minimal as possible whilst keeping the texture variety and natural look.
This mod doesn’t just stop at reducing those lines. It also makes the textures flow together more naturally, so the landscape looks better. It adds logical textures around objects to make them fit in, and it fixes some sharp bumps on the landscape.
If you want to get this mod, you can grab it from this link. At the end of the article, there are also pictures that show the differences. On the left side, you’ll see how the regular Fallout New Vegas looks, and on the right, you’ll see how it looks with the mod.
When it comes to Fallout: New Vegas, there are more mods to check out. Back in August, we talked about a mod that adds real-time reflections to the game. There’s another mod that changes over 1,000 functions to make the game run better. And you can also find a mod that aims to improve the game’s AI system.
There are also some cool fan-made expansions for New Vegas. There are four of them being made right now: 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: Fallout New California, Fallout: Free Cheyenne Demo, Fallout New Vegas: Out of Bounds and Fallout The Frontier.
Have fun!

Been playing tale of two wastelands recently and I gotta say that I do really enjoy Fallout 3’s world more than NV and forgot how fun it was. You always see online how people say NV is the superior game, but imo the map of NV isn’t that fun to explore. NV dialogue has a lot more thought that you have to put into it to understand the whole story without reading about it online, although some of it is just downright pretentious and it seems like the story can feel all over the place at times. I could not stand Ulysses in the Lonesome road DLC, and i’m having trouble playing through old world blues because that starting convo is way too drawn out.
It also seems like after playing a bit of Fallout 1 and 2, that NV just tries to replicate the humor of Fallout 2 mostly, which was a lot more in your face than Fallout 1’s. In terms of atmosphere though, Fallout 3 seems to replicate Fallout 1’s desolate atmosphere almost perfectly.
I do really enjoy how NV has a lot more choice for its quests though, but I think it needs the functional post game ending mod to be good. Having only ending slides doesn’t seem that cool and only makes the game seem even more drawn out.. It was cool that 3 lets you continue after the game, and there are mods for 3 that let you join the Enclave. I will download this mod though. Thank you.
NV have a lot of invisible wall due to his “unfinish game” status.
fallout 3 has better arenas but also has way too many metro stations to explore while new vegas hardly has any dungeons and unlike fallout 3 you can walk towards anywhere while in fallout 3 you need to go through metro stations to get to dc.
I feel like you can still get to DC without going through metro stations if you make your way across the water near Jefferson memorial, but yeah some of the metro’s can be confusing although they do interconnect and can be mostly skipped around once you actually get to DC.
NV is also pretty easy to get to the strip, especially with the DLC weapons. All you really need is a stealth boy from the powder ganger joe cobb fellow. I had to get the invisible wall remover mod too so I don’t have to walk around all the canyons.
New Vegas was the 2nd best in the Fallout series so far imo. The best was Fallout 2 but only old farts like me think that.
I think New Vegas has a lot more ways and “game” to play. While as Fallout 3 has more immersive world and it properly portrays the desperation. I like that
