IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO IMPROVE THIS MOD, OR ADDITIONAL IDEAS FOR MAKING NOVAC MORE INTERESTING LET ME KNOW!
This mod pairs well with my Novac Motel Security mod. You should check it out!
IF YOU'RE UPDATING FROM A VERSION PRIOR TO V1.5:
- Disable the mod. Load your save, then save your game and exit. After that enable mod, and start game again. Enjoy.
Description:
A plugin that adds three NPC vendors, and other features within the Novac Dino-lite Dee Motel's parking lot.
Also adds additional idle markers around the motel. All of it is completely Navmeshed, no colliding NPCs!
The purpose behind this mod was to fill the space in the Novac Dino-lite Dee Motel's parking lot.
It always bothered me that there was crop farmers and a brahmin ranch in Novac, but no one is ever selling anything to you.
The caravans, the doc, the dino store just wasn't cutting it for me, I wanted the settlers of Novac involved in commerce.
NPC Vendor Features:
There are two Main Files, pick the appropriate Edition for your modded game. Download, and install with your modding client (i.e. MO2 or Vortex) then activate.
Regarding the Load Order, place the mod below any mod that alters the "Novac Motel" cell, otherwise the Navmeshes might break.
I personally keep it towards the mid-to-bottom of my load order.

Incompatibilities:
Any mod that drastically alters Novac Motel's parking lot. I am unaware of any on Nexus Mods that would do this. Most mods that affect Novac are listed in the Mods Recommendation section above. Please report any incompatibilities you encounter so that I may create a patch.
Other Notes:
As of version 1.5, I cannot think of anything else to introduce to this mod.
After numerous hours of bug testing, tweaks, and other additional features added, I believe this mod to be complete.
In the future, I may reconsider adding custom voices and dialogues to the NPCs, so they feel more unique and have a proper backstory.
For now, their generic options will have to do. Thank you all for downloading my mod and enjoying it! I hope to see new comments posted regularly!

The caravans, the doc, the dino store just wasn't cutting it for me, I wanted the settlers of Novac involved in commerce.
NPC Vendor Features:
- Jud, a rancher who butchers his Brahmin and Bighorners.
- Camila, a crop farmer who sells the freshest produce in all of Novac.
- Brock, a potato farmer who distills his own brews of moonshine, as well as a scavenger for Pre-war alcoholic beverages.
- Market Security Guard, an armed to the teeth mercenary who doesn't fool around to thievery, will shoot you dead or will die trying.
- Flynn, where there's trade, there's always someone nearby who's less fortunate. He spends his days mostly just reading his books.
There are two Main Files, pick the appropriate Edition for your modded game. Download, and install with your modding client (i.e. MO2 or Vortex) then activate.
- FCO Version uses Fallout Character Overhaul (v3.01) races. It requires FalloutNV.esm and FCOMaster.esm.
- Vanilla Version uses the default game races. It requires only FalloutNV.esm.
Regarding the Load Order, place the mod below any mod that alters the "Novac Motel" cell, otherwise the Navmeshes might break.
I personally keep it towards the mid-to-bottom of my load order.
