Mods for Freeside?

[ConveyorbeltYT]

Hey, this is my first time posting on this forum, so I am pretty new to this and modding.

 

I am just going through my first play through of this game, and I absolutely love it! The only thing I am disappointed about is that Freeside has nothing! I have explored all over and there is only a couple of buildings you can actually enter. I feel there is so much potential and I hate walking through those streets without a few more shops to make the place feel like somewhere closer to the new Vegas strip instead of Nipton. Does anyone have any mods they could reccomend to me for this specifically?

 

Also, can I install mods on a game I am already playing? Told you I was a beginner :laugh:

 

Thanks

Making any changes to an existing game always runs the risk of corrupting things. Usually you can add mods without trouble, but you want to always be sure you know which "save game" file preceded any changes so you can revert to it if something goes wrong. This is one of the subjects covered in the wiki "FNV General Mod Use Advice" article. Anyone new to this game or modding in general is advised to read it.

As someone new to the forum, you might want to check out the "How to markup images (etc) in forum posts and comments" article.

 

Learn to use the "search" function on the Nexus Mods site. A quick search on "freeside" revealed 114 mods with that in their name. Endorsements are a gauge of how popular a particular mod is with the people who tried it. What each player wants out of a mod varies so much it is hard to make specific recommendations without more guidance (and then only if they have experience with the mod in question). The "comments" page on each mod is your friend.

 

"The Vault" wiki page lists all the "vanilla" sites on it's "Freeside" page.
