The inspiration struck after encountering some remarkably detailed casino recreations from New Vegas in The Sims 2. This ignited a daring vision—not only to rebuild iconic locations like Goodsprings and The Strip but also to weave in The Sims-style gameplay, featuring need meters and AI-driven character interactions. The outcome? A departure from the traditional RPG towards a post-apocalyptic "colony sim" where survival hinges on navigating daily life in the wasteland.

While FalloutPropMaster has a background in modding Fallout 3 and New Vegas, The Sims 2 presents a new challenge. He's leveraging tools like FOMM, Blender, and Nifscope to meticulously import assets from New Vegas into the life sim universe.

Despite being nearly twenty years old, The Sims 2 is enjoying a revival, thanks to its recent re-release with support for modern operating systems, making ambitious projects like this more feasible than ever. The burning question remains: Can Fallout: New Vegas flourish as a life simulation? Fans are eagerly awaiting the answer.
