Easily one of my favorite New Vegas mods (though only got into the game in late October or so). Playing with this one makes New Vegas way more relaxing, even contemplative (and slow Christmas tunes are something tranquil to mindlessly run through the wasteland while contemplating depression problems). Helps ramp down the startle response to a Cazador stinging you in the back when it's jolly Christmas tunes instead of random "under attack!" music. And as others have noted, it can make for some amusing humor, and lets you roleplay as someone so traumatized that they engage in wanton slaughter and hum to Christmas music in the same breath without any internal strife.
More than anything, it just *works*. No bugs, no troubleshooting, plays nice with base game and other mods alike, and installed itself easily. I turn on the channel or turn it off (because sometimes you have to sing along about that Big Iron on your hip rather than Santa), and that's all. No funny business.
i would use this mod with this mod http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/57562/?tab=2&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fnewvegas%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D57562&pUp=1
I guess it's the song lengths. Wish Background alone is about 20 minutes long. Added up, the total size of all the songs is something along the lines of 586 MBs, if I added correctly. Why is this mod so big for just a handful of songs? You got me.
over all it is more or less that the mod stopped working when I compressed it. so i had to leave all the songs at full size.I am still working on the mod so hopefully i can get it to work and thin it will not be so big.
Okay, so I tested it out. The sound quality is very good and I tested it in both Dead Money and Honest Hearts, so I'm sure it'll work in the other two DLCs as well. As far as I could tell, there was no skipping or garbling, and the songs were loud enough to be heard without being totally overbearing. I'm not a stickler for little things, so I might have over-looked one or two things without realizing it. Listening to it is relaxing, though fighting with the station on sort of fell into the category of dark humor at times. For example: Clearing the town of Bonnie Springs to the tune of We Wish You a Merry Christmas...in October. Since I'm a big fan of classical music, and since I failed big time to use that NVR Generator mod, among others, this is one of my more favorite mods so far. Good job, mtac002. I hope you add some more classics in the future.
