Fallout: New Vegas mod Project Brazil renamed to New California, out this year
http://www.pcgamer.com/fallout-new-vegas-mod-project-brazil-renamed-to-new-california-out-this-year/
It was early 2013 when we first heard about Project Brazil, a tremendously ambitious mod that promised an entirely standalone prequel campaign for Fallout: New Vegas. Set in the year 2260, long before the events of New Vegas, the aim was for a Fallout 3-sized map with a new Vault, an original cast, and "5000 lines of professional-quality dialog" delivered by more than 20 different voice actors. Fast-forward four years and some, and it's still not out, but it's getting closer—and it's got a brand-new name, too.

>>Here's the Nexus Mods page of the mod.
