About this mod

Adds a new store in Freeside, an AI voiced companion and a small quest.

Requirements
Permissions and credits

 

Freeside Fashion
offers the finest selection of garments in all of New Vegas! The store mostly sells vanilla items that can be classified as clothing, but none of the unique items of the game. Ever thought it was strange that every visitor of the Strip looks well dressed snazzy like when there is not a single good clothing store or tailor? This fixes that with a store located just on the way to the Strip.

The mod is AI voiced and includes ~150 voice lines (.ogg compressed) and those are mostly for Yury, the store manager. He can be recruited as a companion after you complete a short quest for him. He brandishes a dress cane for a weapon and his companion perk gives the player additional protection while wearing clothing items that are sold at the store.

For him to want to hire you you must have some fame with either Freeside or the Strip. Doing a few of the Freeside quests at the Wrangler or the Old Mormon Fort shuold be enough. Infamy score is not counted, so you can have a negative or a  mixed reputation as long as you have done atleast something good.

The quest takes you to the Mojave Outpost, however it is completable regardless of your NCR reputation, even if you killed everyone at the Outpost. If you're vilified by the NCR you might be able to disguise yourself while doing the quest, but remember to keep a distance from any NCR veterans or other high status NCR members (like Major Knight).

Yury has bad knees so while he's your companion and you're sneaking he will instead wait where he is (provided he does not enter combat) until the player un-crouches. In the [Tactics] section of his companion dialogue you can choose between two different "sneak modes". I also recommend you use the aggressive stance rather than passive since melee companions behave strangly when they are forced to stay near the player during combat.

Super Mutants lack sneaking animations. With Lily they handled it by giving her stealth field while
you sneak, but unlike Lily Yury is not a Nightkin so he doesn't have a
thing for Stealth Boys.

Yury will return home if you try to enter certain places with him, like the L38 Penthouse, Caesar's tent or if you get too close to the DLC starting triggers. Yury has a store to run so he does not have time to chill in the Lucky 38 suite.

Compatible with Simple Open Freeside. I haven't tested Freeside Open.
Incompatible with the optional vendor plugin ofTammer's NIF-Bashed Armor Mega-Pack since that uses the same store front.
