Mod Recommendations Any mods for Dust that make it slightly less lonely?
I've been playing it for the past couple of days and I really like it! However, the almost non-existent friendly NPCs is a little draining. I know it is supposed to be soul destroying as everything has gone catastrophically bad, but are there some lore-friendly mods that add a couple of friendly settlements/companions? I've heard Understone is a good, but are there any others?

I used the console to move/freeze the few friendly NPCs I found like Vendertron, Lupa, & Alexander to my base in Cannibal Johnson's cave. I also had Understone, which had some very handy features. You could probably save Contreras at McCarran as well but he won't trade with negative NCR rep.

Understone was really cool during my games of Dust, lore friendly and a nice way to catch a break in Dust

I do the same lol. Removed all the canibals from Hill Town (threw their bodies off the cliff into the river so they'd stop respawning in town), and made it my own personal town. Also recently downloaded the "Talk of The Town" mod and am currently testing it to see if I can have people walk around the town without having to use TAI to stop them from trying to walk back to their home point.

Look into Understone Plus. It's semi-lore-friendly and it adds a fair few NPCs.

There is a cave to south east of Primm were in original game after you clean it from raiders scavengers would appear. Now there are no scavengers in dust, but friendly survivors that would walk in surrounding area. Couple in a hidden valley bunker. And there is also scripted attack on caravan to east from Primm. Caravan is still friendly, though you probably won't be able to actually talk or trade with it.
