Thankfully, the modder PaladinRider took it upon himself to change a big aspect of the game. The questionably empty lucky 38 casino can now be modded to work again. And you, the courier, are the owner and manager
After playing the mod in extensive detail I am glad to say that this mod is one of the most detailed and good implemented mods out there.
Now let me give a list of pros and cons you might want to know about before installing the mod
Pros:
1. Very immersive, in fact, this mod is more immersive then the actual vanilla gameplay of lucky 38.
Let me give you a quick history lesson. Mr. House, the dad of the strip used guns to shoot the falling nuclear bombs to protect his strip from the damage. And you want to actually tell me after all his effort he doesn't bother to keep his casino running?? 3 other casinos are working fine! Why not this?The developers just got lazy, but this mod fix this. This was number one
2. Hire workers to keep your casino going.Blackjack, roulette, slots can be played by you- the owner and guests are simulated by npc's
3. Quests! 4-5 lengthy quests that give you that feeling that you actually earn the casino
4. New locations outside of the casino itself
5. A BIG amount of new rooms in the casino. The elevator isn't just your typical portal to your suite. You've got a bank, a kitchen, a hotel, a pool a rooftop a botanics garden armory and much much more!
6. You buy what you want. The rooms mentioned above are not given to you instantly. You buy them to be built. And the services they offer determine how much cash you make. If you make the wrong moves you fall into minus which means you must build something else to increase the income again.
7. The new services cost a LOT to buy. If you had caps that started catching dust a long time ago will now be used for improvements. One armory cost me up to 80k caps!
8. Npc's have dialogue. The visitors express their feeling towards the casino. I wonder how Paladinrider did that.
9. Compatible with open strip. It would make no sense if you had to remove open strip for this mod. Thankfully, you don't.
10. This mod gives you many hours of gameplay. Even if you are a millionaire the quests themselves give you a lot of challenges. You won't be able to see all this mod has to offer in one day, trust me. If you are playing on the hardest difficulty and you don't even have a lot of caps, then this mod will feel like the main quest in a way.
11. The casino undergoes changes as you buy new services. The new rooms are enterable, nothing is hidden from your eye.
12. A lot of storage space for your guns, money and armor
13. Adds several vendors, some of them need to be restocked.
14. After investing thousands of caps, the casino will repay you in profit. At the end you will get a steady income which is fantastic for many roleplayers.
15. New clothes, beverages, and I think 1 gun.
Cons:
1. The npc's aren't voiced, but let's be real- the modder wasn't funded to do this. It's silly to expect something like that from modders, especially since there are so many new npc's added in this mod.
2. The main lobby takes a toll on your computer. If it isn't powerful, you will feel a drop of framerate. This however is to be expected with any big mod.
3. Some rooms seem empty. This applies only to the rooms you are not expected to enter, the main services are still great.
And this is really all about it. The mod is great, you would think that the modder was a part of the original developer crew because this mod runs flawless even by all this new content. I can't imagine how much work was put into this, but I am sure that this mod is for everyone who was baffled by the lucky 38 casino being empty and dissapointed by not being able to spend all the collected caps.
I give this a 10/10, there is no doubt about that.
