Contact and License ###################################################### I) Introduction New Vegas Trade Center(NVTC) is a quest/building mod for Fallout: New Vegas. The goal of this mod is to bring a small sense of economy, business and finance into the Fallout universe. Fallout universe has a strong mid-20th century theme, and I thought it would be refreshing to introduce the popular financing methods of mid-20th century such as purchasing stocks, getting loans, opening an banking account, keep a check-book, etc. NVTC is not lore-friendly and as of version 1.0.0, there is no voice acting. So if these are your major concerns, this mod isn't for you. Otherwise, enjoy! - Dree, 6/30/2011 ####################################################### II) Location / Interiors New Vegas Trade Center is located in the center of Freeside.
