📋 About This Mod
TecVault - V. 01. 10 -------------------------- (c) 2010 By Quartz Large, customized and companion friendly vault located NE from Megaton. Like to move in and live happily ever after, away from the sorrow and harshness of the Wasteland? Bet you would. Unfortunately you\'re not the only one ... TecVault is not for sale, you\'ll have to earn your little post apocalyptic paradise. To start the adventure, talk to Manya in Megaton about the town\'s history. If you ask the right questions, you\'ll get the right answers ... in this case a mapmarker to set you on your way. If for any reason you cannot question Manya, look for TecVault\'s location on the map in the pics. ---------------------- New in Version 01. 10: ---------------------- As most of you probably know the Real Time Settler (RTS) mod from Arcoolka and RipVanWinkle111 brings a whole new perspective to Fallout3 allowing you to build your own Wasteland settlement, recruit NPC\'s as villagers, farmers, guards or merchants, start food production etc. In addition, RTS gives you the possibility to freely copy and place in the game environment almost all objects available in FO3 and to (optionally) test your settlement defenses with random attacks. For those who want to start their own settlement close to TecVault, I\'ve changed the vault\'s exterior area somewhat and given the player the possibility to add a stone wall, working spotlights, gates and a few turrets to defend the village, all adapted to TecVault\'s storyline and appearance. Although all additions and modifications included in the update are of course available without having to install the RTS-mod, I highly recommend RTS to players who want to experience the Wasteland in a way different from the \'bang-your-dead-who\'s-next\' approach. RTS can be found here http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7070 . If you like it, don\'t forget to endorse it there.

The archive contains two files (TecVault.bsa and TecVault.esp), both to be placed in your \\Fallout\\Data folder. The meshes and textures files necessary for this mod are contained in the TecVault.bsa file, so you don\'t have to worry about extracting more files to any other folder. To install the Version 01. 10 update, download the TecVault_V0110_Update. 7z archive and extract it. The update archive does not contain the TecVault.bsa file but only the updated TecVault.esp to replace the original one. Simply overwrite the original esp with the updated version and make sure both the updated esp
