- - Removed the sack if you still had it in your inventory after failing/completing above quest.

- - After interacting with the Papers on Miss Rocket's safe, you will now get a quest marker pointing to the Caravan Rest Stop Dossier.
- - Taking your items back after you've gotten Yuuko's Key will no longer count as stealing. (If you do steal back your stuff early without angering the town, you can still do their quests)
- - If you're on the right stage, a quest marker will point you to the equipment footlocker.
- - Set some empty Arizona Strong bottles in Shantytown shacks as Player owned.
- - Moved the bottom floor electrical lock box to floor level to reduce the risk of a chain explosion breaking both boxes.

- - Added several audio markers in the overworld space.
- - Rally will no longer lock you out of the entire mod if you happen to have a companion when asking to go. (He will still deny you bringing one though. If you still want break the intended experience and bring your virtual girlfriend with you, do the console command "cow RadWorld01 0 0". It will skip the plane ride cutscene and spawn you in the starter zone with your follower.).

- - Replaced some Act 1 ammo boxes that had random loot to contain more relevant ammo.

- - Disabled the four base game lakelurks that spawn near the boat you take to the Mojave.
- - Added a note in a Shantytown shack that speaks of happenings at the grocery store.
- - Changed the Radio Part activator to always be enabled, but if you're not on the correct quest stage it will display a message instead of picking it up.
- - Added another electronic lock to the puzzle house in an effort to teach the player the gimmick, and changed the doors from "Key Required" to "Very Hard" as to avoid confusion.
Version 1.2
- - Removed rogue variables from a certain terminal so the location events would play out properly.

- Introduction -

Havasu Blues is an expansion modification for Fallout: New Vegas in two acts. The modification seeks to add about 6-10 hours of content in a brand new worldspace with a bunch of quests and locations. The mod takes place in western Arizona around the area of Lake Havasu City, with the first act being a fairly guided survival experience in an irradiated valley and the second act being more open, revolving around the town of Havasu itself and the surrounding areas.
There are lots of characters to talk to, locations to explore and quests to solve. Come on down to Havasu!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Requirements -

All DLCs, 4GB Patched game, xNVSE, JIP LN NVSE.
I also recommend the Bugfixing Patch by detra.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- General Info -

Where do I start the mod?
There's a note in the Novac Motel Office starting a quest, or you could go explore the western end of the Searchlight Airport.

How hard is the mod?
The mod is balanced for characters around level 10, and is focused more around exploring rather than combat.

Can I bring a follower?
Not at first, you will be denied followers if you try to start the mod.

Can I go back to the Mojave?
Not during Act 1, when you enter Act 2 (Through the tunnel) There will be an NPC giving you access to travel between the mod and the main game.

Can I add this mod mid playthrough?
Yes, this mod barely changes Mojave areas at all and is completely contained within its own world space.

Will my choices in the mod affect the main game?
No, for convenience reasons all the factions in the mod are separate from the ones in the main game.

Is the mod compatible with X?
Probably yes, unless it heavily modifies the western end of the Searchlight Airport.

I can't find X!
Explore more. Not everything has quest markers.

How do I pronounce Havasu?
To this day, nobody still knows the true pronunciation.

Did I miss anything during my playthrough?
Probably, but I made this Cheat Sheet to help you find the starts to quests and collectibles in the area.

This my first endeavor to make a New Vegas mod, from having played countless of them beforehand, and after spending a year from 0 GECK knowledge it turned out like this. A lot of ambition had to be cut down to realistically make it be able to released, since this was mostly a solo effort. I would like to thank Akarion especially for being my friend and trashgarbage666 for helping me understand scripting. Hopefully you'll have fun playing and won't encounter any major bugs!
