Is there a non-suck expansion / restoration to Caesar’s legion? I know that’s vague - quest, visual, geography - but anything to help them that isn’t standard modder cringe.

Not that I know of, personally. Never believed in FNV modders' ability to seamlessly integrate cut content into the game.
I've heard a bunch of people talking fondly about Simply Uncut mod over the years. But I checked just now, and it appears that the author stopped supporting it and made hidden on modding platforms such as Nexus (meaning that even if you'll find a working version, it will probably conflict with a bunch of other mods due to the clusterfuck of modding frameworks that modders use).

Personally, I wait for decently implemented stuff using AI such as this: https://youtu.be/rj82uK2YuiE?si=-G487Y9Xcgtsr0xH
But modders first would have to learn how to write good stories and characters and defeat their megalomania that forces them to add unnecessary new mechanics and rebalances into every mod.

Nova Arizona - A Legion Lands Expansion
You just linked to an incomplete version of a mod that claims to be FNV’s equivalent of Tamriel Rebuilt.

Are you a mentally unstable* modder?

Nova Arizona is an expansion of the Arizona side of the Mojave Wasteland, similar in implementation to Morrowind's Tamriel Rebuilt

What's the issue with that? TR is not at all a bad model to emulate. This actually looks pretty decent, may have to reinstall just to check it out.

There's this: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/60208. Legion Quests Expanded, 2.8k endorsements.

I've never tried it, and I gave up on NV quest mods after trying New Vegas Bounties. Too many modders coming from Oblivion and Skyrim who don't understand Fallout quest design. They all want to send you on aggressively linear dungeon crawls/kill quests so they can tell their story. I want quests and locations that feel like they could be base game content, and I don't trust Bethesda modders to deliver that.

Yea nova arizona seems to be quite high quality, it's just not finished yet sadly. I also wish the scope would be a bit bigger because the amount of new locations at the moment seems a bit disappointingly small. Maybe once they finish this current region they'll add more? Fingers crossed.

But Nova Arizona is the closest thing we have to a competent Legion expansion, the other one "Arizona - A Legion Expansion" is dead.

That mod is buggy as hell I remember getting stuck in Legion's main quest.
I recommend Retribution - A Legion Quest Mod instead.

Once they finish other modders can use it as a base and expand it even further, it's already happened with ALE

how do you arrive at your opinions?

It's not remotely complete. Further, they compare their approach to TR. TR is a monstrosity of modder patchwork. NA comparing itself to it is a huge red flag.

Have you played it - do the maps, dialogue, items, and quests blend seamlessly into the vanilla experience? I'm guessing no, because literally no mod of this scope has ever successfully done that... Archololos is the exception that proves the rule, it was unique because it wasn't modder cringe.

It doesn't need to be seemless it just needs to be of high quality, the two things are related but you can be one without being the other.

ok - very debatable - but lets roll with your preference.

how have you determined it to be of high quality?

I said "competent" not "complete".

As of now the world spaces/exteriors look good.

Also on the seemless part, it doesn't need to be seemless because it literally takes place in a different state entirely. When i cross the border here from netherlands to belgium the transition isn't seemless either.

Let's start with the obvious. No talking Deathclaws.

Installed the game on my new pc with Viva New Vegas batch (everything seems to be working) and wanted try out some grafixxx enhancements. Read that New Vegas Reloaded is best to date. Downloaded it from this link. MO2 says that "content of the data does not look valid" and colors it in red. I'm now hesitant if i just should install it anyway and see what happens or not, because it might fuck up the whole VNV modlist, which i had spent my sweet time to set up loading all the mods from Nexus one by one. What could be wrong? Is the version too old? I followed the instructions from here. Can't download from Discord, where the latest version ought to because it asks phone verification then tells my number is invalid even though it's not.

You gots to tinker with it a bit and make MO2 manually select which folder in the mod is the data folder, I believe.
