This is a very simple mod that adds Rump, the Presidential Mole Rat, to Goodsprings. He is looking for a campaign manager to help coordinate his rallies, and the position may or may not  be paid! There are a few ways to proceed, and a couple of choices along the way will allow you to influence Rump's fate. Choose wisely!

Among the various rewards are unique hats, new consumable recipes, a place to spend the night and even a simple follower who wears a propeller hat - as long as you play your cards right!

To be quite honest, me and my partner put together this as a fun side-project so the quest is rather straightforward. It may not take hours to complete, but it may amuse you for an hour or two. I didn't really check. That's why I also didn't upload more pics, to avoid spoilers.

As this was something I made for myself with the help of my dearly beloved, I WILL NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES. I will not add to it or subtract from it.
I will not convert the mod to FO3 either. This is offered as-is. 

I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. EDIT THE MOD YOURSELF IF YOU WANT TO ADD / SUBTRACT MORE!

Head to good ole Goodsprings and look for a behatted, oddly orange-skinned mole rat on a makeshift rally stand. Things will move on from there.




Some of the cells in the mod are rather demanding and weak computers will strain. I spent ridiculous amounts of time downscaling and optimizing textures, balancing the amount of clutter, and placing lights that would keep the mod playable without straying too far from MUH CREATIVE VISION, as I play on a laptop that is definitively not the best. But, if you are playing on a Compaq Presario from the 90's, then you will probably take a performance hit. This is most evident in the main lounge. You've been warned.

This mod uses Imagespace Modifiers for fade-to-black scenes and some other effects. If you use an ENB these will not work as intended. You've been warned with this warning I just gave you. Feel free to give Tomm's IMOD Emulator a try!

All containers in the mod will respawn, so do not store important things in there unless you're feeling daring. If an NPC in Glabernia is missing, a special telephone on the desk can be activated to bring them back.

And about general compatibility, as the mod is pretty self-contained, there should not be any problems with mods unless they transform Goodsprings into a completely different thing. If you find any conflicts, please let me know so I can list them here. 




To install, extract the contents of your downloaded file to your "Steam/SteamApps/Common/Fallout New Vegas/Data" folder. Then activate the mod through your preferred launcher by ticking the checkbox next to the esp. Or you can use your mod manager of choice to download the mod automatically. To uninstall, simply delete the files from your Data folder, and you're good to go. Have fun! 




- I hate [thing] and [thing] and [thing]! You should have done [thing] and [thing] instead! And while you're at it remove [thing] and [thing] and add [thing] and [thing]! And [thing] is NOT LORE FRIENDLY! FIX THIS!
- This isn't a restaurant. If you don't like something, use the console to disable it, remove it with the GECK or FNVEDIT, or sell it off. I am done with the mod and won't be making any changes. In other words...

- I used the console to [do thing you're not supposed to do] and saw [thing you're not supposed to see]! FIX IT!
- Go away...

- [INSERT INANE POLITICAL RAMBLING HERE]


- Are there star-spangled hot-dogs like the ones in your banner included in the mod?
- Yes.

- The new textures are too low res and ugly! I cannot stand this!
- I downscaled a lot of textures to help reduce the file size, but when it comes to upscaling textures, I am at a loss because I am no good at texturing, so what you see is what you get. In other words...

- The voice acting is dreadful! What a bunch of amateurs! Redo the voice roles now!
- I fully stand by my voice actors. If you have a complaint about them and desperately need to PM someone about it, send the complaints to me. Afterwards, please find professional voice actors willing to do all of this, re-record everything, do the lip-sync, correct the subtitles if needed, upload it to the Nexus and send me a link so I can check it out and link it here on the mod page. Until then...

- HOW DO I GET OUT OF BLESMOLIA
- Grab a gunpowder crate and a frag mine. I'll let you figure out the rest.

- I'm lagging all over the place! Help!
- I tested this mod on a heavily modded setup, on a mid-range gaming laptop. The main area of Glabernia is a bit demanding because of all the clutter, but it shouldn't be too bad. And if you lag after building the wall just use the conveniently-labeled "Wall Lag Fix" option in Rump's terminal. Obviously, if you're playing on a coal-powered machine, you will definitively have some performance loss, so feel free to open the mod in the GECK and remove some decor if you want.

- I hate stuff being static! I wanna pick things up!
- I don't like knocking things around all the time, and there's plenty of clutter everywhere already. In other words...

- Is this compatible with [mod]?
- Dunno. Pretty much everything is kinda out of the way besides the rally stand in Goodsprings. If you find any other conflicts, please let me know so I can list them here.

- How come the mod looks different in my game than your screenshots?
- I am using several retextures in my own game and a custom SweetFX preset, so results may vary.

- The mod is awful/glitchy/buggy/etc. I am going to uninstall it and I must let everybody know!
- Sad to see you go~

- The mod sucks!
- So does a vaccuum cleaner
