About this mod
Sole Survivor takes on Manhattan!
(Currently a WIP for map testing ONLY and is not a full mod)
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
- Donations
IMPORTANT:
This is currently a W.I.P. and is still in late-Alpha stages.
It is currently only being uploaded/updated for testing services ONLY. Please understand if you are not on the mod's testing team.
For now, please use console commands to enter Manhattan - COC EWStart will bring you to the Lincoln Performing Arts Center.
Load Order - EmpireWastesBaseMap.esp at top of order, and EmpireWastesPlug01.esp at bottom of load order.
Required Files - XDI & F4SE
Also, this mod is unrelated to the Fallout New Vegas mod of a similar name. That mod was made by Mlucci4036. There are no intentional story overlaps with his mod and can be considered mutually exclusive.
What is this mod?
This mod takes you out of the Commonwealth, and brings you to the Empire Wastes; the once grand metropolis of New York City.
Explore the city!
Meet the locals!
Stake a claim!
What Does This Mod Change?
In the spirit of my previous mod, it does not change much in the commonwealth with two minor changes and one secret detail.
The mod is otherwise entirely done in the new world space, and does not greatly affect your commonwealth experience, unless you bring some of Manhattan back with you, in the form of new Companions, Perks, Weapons, Aid, etc.
There should be no radial quests that will send you to the Manhattan wastes. If you ever do find yourself being sent to Manhattan outside of the quests in the mod, please let me know.
What Does This Mod Add?
The new world space is inhabited with new enemy types, new settler factions, new towns and settlements, new enemy factions, new weapons, new aid items, new misc. items, and new perks.
And of course, an entirely new quest line with branching paths, and as much RPG elements as I can shove into it. (I'm not currently utilizing the expanded dialog system, so I am limited in that regard) There will also be plenty of side quests, random events, flavor texts, visual storytelling, and lore to discover outside the main quest!
To avoid too many spoilers, specific details will be available separately, which I will link here when I have them compiled. Things such as quests, factions, weapons, etc., so keep an eye out for that listing in the future.
How Much is Available Now?
Right now, the city is still 'under construction' with some areas completely fleshed out and navmeshed, but with most other areas currently a barren landscape with little to no editing. I'm creating this mod on my own, so it takes a long time. I thank you all for your patience. I promise an entire Island complete; and more to come.
Milestones:
As of June 2025, we've completed the exterior map for the first "hub" location, situated around Central Park.
As of 2023, we've begun work on the second "hub" location, situated around Rockefeller Center and Grand Central Station.
As of October 2021, we've made the exterior map for most of the third "hub" location, situated around the Empire State Building.

What is this mod?
This mod takes you out of the Commonwealth, and brings you to the Empire Wastes; the once grand metropolis of New York City.
Explore the city!
- Explore the Island of Manhattan.
- While many of the neighborhoods and individual buildings have changed dramatically from our real-world counterpart, many of the famous monuments are available to see! Or at least, what's left of them.
- Come visit landmarks (or their equivalents) such as the Empire State Building, the Flatiron Building, and many more.
- Awe at the many monuments such as those found at Central Park, and our many other historic parks.
- Find new, post-divergence landmark locations like the Manhattan Nuclear Power Plant, Planned Diversion Programing HQ, or the Heniton Cable Tower
Meet the locals!
- From established communities, to traveling merchants, to raider societies, and everything in between; the Empire Wastes has a dynamic and varied society that rivals that of the prewar times.
- Meet the people of Manhattan, whether it be a civilized oasis, or raider towns. Expect a new kind of raider in Manhattan; one who doesn't shoot you on sight, but still gets your last cap. (And also some of those who do just shoot you on sight, but that's besides the point)
- Interactions with one town will not only affect them, but the surrounding towns as well, so be careful who you help or you just might tip the power balance.
Stake a claim!
- Get a piece of the New York life with 3 unique settlements open for you to build up. Your first settlement is found very early on in the questline, and the other two are available as you explore.
- Player Settlements can be found in the Central Park Zoo, Union Square, and Governors Island
What Does This Mod Change?
In the spirit of my previous mod, it does not change much in the commonwealth with two minor changes and one secret detail.
- It will add a new Radio Station, which you will be prompted to investigate.
- It adds a shipping container barge close to the Atom Cats Garage, with a vertibird parked on top.
