💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's an older mod, make sure you have Fallout 3's ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated or a mod manager that handles it, or textures might not load.
  • Place this mod early in your load order to avoid conflicts with other world-editing mods near Rivet City.
  • If you use FOSE or other script extenders, test the vault doors after installing to ensure they work.
