Lebedev "Mighty Semchan" Semyon The modding scene keeps pushing creative boundaries, and this time, it’s taking an unexpected turn. A die-hard Fallout: New Vegas fan, known as FalloutPropMaster, decided he had waited long enough for an official remaster—so he made his own, inside The Sims 2! Instead of a traditional RPG, he’s reimagining New Vegas as a fully functional life simulation, breathing new life into the Mojave wasteland in a way no one expected.

The idea came to him after stumbling upon some impressively detailed casino recreations from New Vegas within The Sims 2. This sparked a bold plan—not just to reconstruct familiar locations like Goodsprings and The Strip but to integrate The Sims-style gameplay, complete with need meters and AI-driven character behavior. The result? Less of an RPG and more of a post-apocalyptic "colony sim" where survival means balancing everyday life in the wasteland.

While FalloutPropMaster has experience modding Fallout 3 and New Vegas, The Sims 2 is uncharted territory for him. He’s using tools like FOMM, Blender, and Nifscope to carefully bring assets from New Vegas into the life sim world.
Despite being nearly two decades old, The Sims 2 is experiencing a resurgence thanks to its recent re-release with modern OS support, making projects like this more accessible than ever. Now, the only question is: Can Fallout: New Vegas truly thrive in a life simulation? Fans are eager to find out.
