📋 About This Mod

Tale of Two Wastelands version available here!

Hello everybody! This small mod adds a small cafe across the Potomac from Dukov's Place. It is fully voiced, has been cleaned with FO3EDIT and does not require any DLC, so it should be safe for everybody to use. Still, you should always make a backup save before installing ANY mod, in case something goes wrong.

= WHAT = Just a cafe with an essential custom-voiced merchant. She has a dash of backstory and the player can get a discount with her through a speech challenge. The place is actually not navmeshed in v1 because I am paranoid about conflicts and I am reluctant to mess with worldspace navmesh without breaking it. RoyBatterian navmeshed V2, so install that one if you want a functional navmesh. There are two sandboxing NPCs that you may disable with the console if they bother you.

You can activate a switch in the enclosed area (above the jukebox) to open the windows and the curtains. The lights will automatically be turned off during the day and turned on at night. One of my ever-so-popular Pick 'n' Joy vending machines can be found here, too. You can barter with the merchant directly by using the menu activators on the tables. If you are sitting when you activate them you will be forced to stand up - engine limitation I guess.

I decorated the cafe with a bit of a nautical theme, just for fun. There are two new magazines that work like the ones from New Vegas, boosting skills for a few minutes. There is ONE custom food added because I can't be bothered with patches - the food is so small that it wouldn't really fill up your hunger meter anyway. Mod-added food will most likely appear on her inventory if they were added to the regular vendor food leveled lists.

= WHERE = Across the river from Dukov's Place. It has a map marker, although you will have to visit before you can fast travel.

= WHY = This mod was mostly me experimenting with Blender. I got the idea while working on a certain big NV mod, but pushed it aside until I found the time to make it, so here it is. I built the structure by combining several pieces from Little Lamplight, because I wanted a place to take pictures of my character going on dates with her sweety-pie.

= HOW = To install, extract the contents of your downloaded file to your 'Steam/SteamApps/Common/Fallout 3/Data' folder. Then activate the mod through your preferred launcher by ticking the checkbox next to the esp. Or you can use your Mod Manager of choice to download the mod automatically. To uninstall, simply delete the files from your D
