Well, the Fallout: New Vegas modding community is officially beyond help. It’s with a mixture of amusement and alarm that I bring you news the modders have lost it, becoming so intoxicated of modding a single Mormon’s hat that I fear they may have no route back to polite society at all. The hat is their world now: All they know and all they can ever know.
Redquinox’s strong emotions triggered a hat inferno. The next day, a creator named clanky4 uploadedDaniel’s Hat Unfitted, a “Mesh adjustment for Daniel’s hat, so it actually fits an entire human.” Redquinox themself followed that up withDaniel’s Hat Unfitting, which made the hat tiny, and then we gotDaniel’s Hat Remasked, which adjusted the hat so it covers Daniel’s face.
Literally all of this happened in the course of around 24 hours or so.

Then it all just got very silly. June 1 sawDaniel’s Hat ReHatted, which put Daniel’s hat inside several other hats. We also gotDaniel’s Hat STYLISH, which just tilted it to around a 30-degree angle on his head. Over the next three weeks or so (that is to say, until literally yesterday) we got mods to turn it into a beer hat, a mod that turns it into the infamous Fallout 3 train hat, a mod which turns Daniel into his own hat, a mod that… well, I don’t know what it does, but the description just reads “Daniel has weaponized his hats. God save us all.”
And many more. I strongly recommend taking a gander at theNexus Mods search results for Daniel’s hatto get a taste of just how buckwild the community got with this one. My personal favourite?Daniel’s hat 8K 120fps. Finally, the headpiece you know and love in “STUNNING NEXT GEN 8K HDR RTX.” Gaming is saved.
The biggest gaming news, reviews and hardware deals
The moral of the story is, ah, well, hmm. Nevermind. Anyway, the last mod to be uploaded in the saga wasEverybody Wears Daniel’s Hat, from SquidHat. It does exactly what it says on the tin, and bills itself as “The long-awaited finale to the Daniel’s Hat saga.” But somehow, I don’t think that’s true.
