Fallout: Vault 13 Demo – A Nostalgic Journey into the Wasteland
Hey there, fellow wasteland wanderers! If you’ve been craving more Fallout adventures to sink your teeth into, then you’re in luck. The modding wizards behind Fallout: Vault 13 have just dropped a demo that’ll transport you back to the roots of the series in a whole new way.
A Blast from the Past
Picture this – a total conversion mod that reimagines the very first Fallout game within the Fallout 4 universe. Yes, you read that right! The demo is now available on Nexus Mods under the title Fallout Vault 13 – Demo. This sneak peek is just the tip of the nuclear iceberg, with the full version promising five open-world areas to explore.
As the modding team puts it, “In this demo, you will be able to explore a fully realized version of The Inyo, the first of five open-world areas that will be in the full version of the mod. You will be able to begin the classic Fallout journey, revisit several locations from the original game (Vault 13, Vault 15, Shady Sands, the Khan Base), and explore everywhere in between.”
Challenges Await
Now, before you dive headfirst into this irradiated playground, there are a few things to keep in mind. The demo may have some rough edges that the team is ironing out for the final release. For instance, the lack of voice acting is a temporary setback, with placeholder lines in place until the real deal arrives. Also, be cautious when tinkering with your character’s appearance in the creator, as a pesky bug may cause them to vanish into thin air.
Furthermore, due to technical constraints, the skill system has been simplified for the demo. Your skills won’t automatically adjust when your SPECIAL stats change, so be prepared for a bit of manual tweaking.
Gear Up for Action
To embark on this nostalgic journey, you’ll need Fallout 4 with all its major DLC. Make sure to roll back your game to version 1.10.163 using tools like ‘Simple Fallout 4 Downgrader‘ or ‘Fallout 4 Downgrader‘. Additionally, clear out any Creation Club content from your Data folder, install Fallout 4 Script Extender (F4SE), and you’re good to go.
