When old school pulp stories, 80s body horror, radioactive dreams, twilight zones and parallel universes meet a crazy modmaker.
Asalam. Here we can offer you:
Close to 70 pieces of new unique armors, quite a few of them with unorthodox benefits (From giving you acrobatic jumps to holographic protection fields).
About 50 pieces of no less unique weapons that turn your enemies into skeletons, freeze them into blocks of ice, throw them flying up in the sky, put bloatflies in them, or even stop time.
38+ (And counting) custom creatures, some of whom are implemented by being summonables you can call on to help you in battles. The others are hidden and rare, ready to be either a certain death trap or a boss battle you won't forget. Extra that, there's two more buckaroo banzaiz who can become your companions.
Several new locations, including a 'dixie tourist bus', a "mad" scientist lair, and a very... Odd place.
Lore notes, unmarked quests and stories, with tragic characters disguised in a dark absurdity like Tangent Host, Bleaky Mutt or Dr. Mean Beanstein.
Fallout3-style random encounters, where's when passing through certain places (Can be anything, from casino to a canyon) there's a chance that you'll stumble upon peculiar points of interest.
These, and much more, is what Trails of Bizarre all about. In short, consider this the strangest subtle (yet apparent) game overhaul you've ever seen. The Mojave, Zion, Divide, Big MT and else are still what they used to be, but different angles will be revealed that won't change this world, just add to it.
Requirements:
All Four Official Story DLCs and Gun Runners' Arsenal
JIP LN NVSE Plugin
xNVSE itself Github.com
Wild Wasteland perk's not required but will unlock more content
Highly compatible with most mods out there, straight to complete game changers like Dust (Though you'll need to have access to DLCs' areas, otherwise a huge chunk of content related to new items and a couple of 'boss fights' will be out of your reach). Put my esm the belowest you can in your load order, but above anything weather mods-related.
It best works with the new game because the new stuff is sparkled along the way of the Courier, often right off his usual tracks, hence if you start mid game, there might be things you'll miss.
But here's a tip or two: Few of the main directions are acquired through perks, the first one of which, The Spook! Lives, can be taken at level 15. Once you take any of them, check the workbench/ perk descriptions and follow the roads to those ingredients/references.
It's best if you have Wild Wasteland trait, coz I provided quite a few additional moments related to it.
Somewhere near jacobstown there's a new stew recipe just dying for you to try it out.
A strange fella is wondering around Hidden Valley, on his way to Fiends' territory.
In the depths of the Divide there's an unfortunate soul whose tragedy might become your 'morphos'.
Somewhere off the grid between Novac and 188 Post, there's a place and a creature that really loves Blamco's Mac'n'Cheese.
The late sheriff of Primm once acquired a pickaxe, and a really Lucky fella might be able to uncover its treats.
The (almost) full walkthrough (or rather pushto) with everything (most) you can find related to this mod is IN moddb.com/mods/the-spook-and-mojaves-trails-of-bizarre/downloads/trails-of-the-guide-to-bizarre , though I hope you'll have real fun discovering it on your own.

Oh and, guess I have a discord ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Discord.gg
Enjoy!

While a sizeable part of this mod is mi-mi-mi, it also would be much duller and less awesome if not for all those modders resources contributions in it that I often used as a base for something.
So here I'd like to say the giant shukran to
FafnirEtherion for that Pleasant skingrin, and base of the Spooky duster and DarkElite99 for Stealth Suit with Pants coz I'm too lazy to put pants on my own (Also Tubal for his myst. pipboyon that I was also lazy to put my pants on. I mean take my pants off... Nevermind). With them, to YanL for providing a quick fix for original Spooky duster since it came with a problem (Plus for additional meshes I used ).
micalov for shtifs from his Hec Hazard suit.
devinpatterson for teaching me the pistol gun bash script.
Ajax120 for them motorchoppers and tanks. Back tanks, feeder tanks. Thanks.
nekronom12 for some ghoul textures, and his ghoul mask that I used for Protomite (And Dixie Raiders).
DaiShiHUN for his tyrnanid cannon I used as a base for Flamebiosys, and classic plasma.
polferrera for his rusty ghost people retexture I used for the Dark Spook mask.
Red Elvises for letting me use their music in my mods Redelvises.com .
Is This What Mama Meant by Michaela Anne .
Certain cool person that provided certain assets and would wish to remain anonymous.
tumbajamba and kusmitch for Myron.
Type2Error and darkanx for creating what served as the basis for our characters' signature weapons, and clanfear for darkanx's thingie New Vegas adaptation.
prodlimen for his Frenzied Bloatfly, Doris, Bloodbug, Death TVs, Robofriend resources and a few other things I used to create many of my own creature spins (And in general for all the "shit" he does. Like have you seen his stuff, inshallah!)
c.i.b, GendunDrup and CrimsonScarred for more creature bits.
ghouls0rules for necklaces.
Nemo Trachtenberg for voicing Fred Right-Said.
GSC Game World for lending a hand (literally).
SomethingInTheWay and (sketchfab id) wileyart for tRexie.
JLF65, EdibleGrenade12, Lady Li, 80sguy for spinach and soda machines.
tapioks for the original securiton texture from Ojo Bueno I redid to fit the Spooky TVision.
lordinquisitor and yoba333 for that certain gecko and carton, and some mutie cloths.
lordzues40 and mindboggles for their oblivion ( and triffs'n'thingies) .
Kevin MacLeod's music.
LARA'S HORROR SOUNDS .
nonoodles for Iguana-ona-Spit.
Ghogiel for bobs'n'bits.
Andersh for pig rat and cave rat base models.
LilaMue for cigarettes.
Stygs for a nice surgical mask world model.
blue_fox for the racoon cap.
Sinuev2 for some skins.
deleted12659422 for junk robots in one of the new locations.
UlakMaster for Bernie's aquarium.
deedes for gallows and nooses.
Bobio567 for Old Vegas.
quoter1 and d4em for Christmas spirit.
clintmich for a guitar case with a surprise.
PineappleSurprise , The 3rd Type, skytheguy and DekoMan91 for The Four-String RONIN, Mario Mario, junkcar and fixing skarmonyx' texture (To whom also dankies for the texture ) I used as a base for Fred one.
Blacksoul501 for Robe of Nee outfit's base (and SmallRossman for inspiring the Heavy Metal one).
Jokerine for a pinkie on a rope, as well as various necklaces und props (And in general for just existing).
shallowbay91 for some... sugar-like bombs. Flakes.
MypeepeeisG for an idea on how to extend one of my scripts.
If you ever see a flying saucer or a carousel chasing after you, you'll know AmaccurzerO be the one to be shukranful to for that (And also for them buses with animated doors).
blueboar for some face wraps I modified and for kind of giving me inspiration for this, with his releases of Zorro and Flash Gordon . After seeing those I was like "We have the classics... Now how about something in-Fallout style stuff?". And from that simple thought it grew beyond recognition. Blueboar has lots of interesting things, he's one of those authors that creates mods that should be at top but by the twist of fate goes unnoticed. So I highly recommend to check out his profile and give it attention it more than deserves.
Gerokeymaster for Blank duster and also for his GECK tutorials that I found very useful when I started learning all about it. I find him and Seddon the treasure chest for any modmakers, so if that's your thing definitely visit his youtube channel Youtube.com
Last but not least, DcCharge because of whom most of my mods now have at least 2K in all of their unmentionables, and whose high resolution vanilla textures I always use as a base for creation of my custom ones.
I think at this point I should thank Tammer a.k.a user826 for always having a bullseye answer no matter how difficult is the modding question I'm asking him.
As well as EPDGaffney for being a helpful fella even when he's not asked for an advice directly, because you can find his useful answers all over Nexus forums whenever a modder have a question.
Special mention to Buffering23 for making a comment that inspired the visual beginnings of the Dark Spook.
One more shoutout to all those stock/roylty free sound makers out there without whom this mod would be fifty percent less soundy.
Good luck with mod of the year man!
I can't believe I missed this comment (Then again, considering this place doesn't give notifications for new comments, can believe) or the fact that I was even in competition for that, but here's a "thanks a lot!" for you in the time machine xD , appreciate the support.
Yes i get´chu ,it is kinda a pain to navigate here
