So i was looking through the forums for cool mods (found a lot of them) and then i saw the expansion of Goodspring and Jacobstown and was wondering if someone could do something like that to freeside. I was thinking of it still being a slum but there being more people and more shops and maybe new quests if someone if willing to that. Just an idea
Thanks

Freeside has a ton of modding potential, considering how big it is and how 70% of it is boarded up.

Future Freeside Interiors project part of the NV Interiors mod?

I think the entire game world has a lot of places that have loads of potential for an overhaul.

I'd love to do this. Freeside was a really interesting place to explore but I found it a shame that it was so linear and open. Underground sewers, overhead bridges connecting buildings, drug dens, piles of junk stacked high, backalley market stools and such - these sort of things, the things that would make it more of a slum and less of a town in poverty, would be the good things to add I think.

I think what was done to Bravil with Better Cities + Blood and Mud is what needs to be done to Freeside. From a roleplaying aspect, Freeside needs to be more of the filth they describe it as, because it's still a bit clean at the moment.

But seriously, go through Bravil with BV+BM on, and get inspired by that. That's exactly the kind of atmosphere Freeside needs. And having more general purpose traders (like a butcher, somebody who makes and sells cheap bulk ammo) wouldn't hurt my feelings.

Just an idea, you could also bring in some people from the 3 families and have smaller buildings that there in so they control part of freeside and part of the stripe.
