📋 About This Mod
Modders Resource. This gives the ability to create vault doors with any number 0-999. Using the tutorial at
http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php/Bethsoft_Tutorial_Layout
, I saw there was no vault 74 door, nor any good substitute. So I created these files so that they could be added.
There are three files. One is simply the resources necessary for adding a Vault 74 door to the game (with a esp of an unattached vault74 level as proof of concept). The other file is the resources for simply having a blank vault door option. Also, I've uploaded a make-your-own-vault-door resource where all you have to do is select layers to change the vault door number to anything from 0-999 (like 13, 007, 69, whatever).
Let me know how it works for you, anything else I should include, suggestions or requests.
I've made a video tutorial for using these, currently located at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXtjyp1eRo0
, you can watch it in HD on youtube with that link.
I've been told you WILL need to set bInvalidateOlderFiles = 1 in your fallout.ini file in your documents folder. I've done all my modding with the latest NifScope http://niftools.sourceforge.net/wiki/NifSkope and using the GIMP http://gimp.org/downloads/ as well as DDS Converter 2 (win XP) http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=8698 I dont know what works for vista.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-trusted resource with 303 endorsements and 10k downloads.
- Covers every vault number from 0 to 999, so you'll never need another door pack.
- Blank doors give total freedom for custom textures.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2008 — might not work with newer Fallout 3 patches or mod setups.
- Purely a modder's resource — useless if you just want to add vault doors to your game without GECK.
For Fallout 3 modders who build custom vaults in the GECK and need proper door assets. Skip if you're a player looking for gameplay content — this is a development tool, not a player mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're new to GECK, place the doors in your mod's object palette and assign them to your vault interiors.
- For custom textures, use the blank doors and apply your own .dds files via the GECK's texture editor.
- Since the mod is old, test in a clean save to avoid conflicts with other door mods.
