📋 About This Mod
Please note: This mod is not directly about looks. It is primarily about functionality. It introduces two variations of two packs which are fully functional containers with their own separate inventories. That\'s the purpose of the mod. It\'s not just to add another visual accessory to your character, but to give them something that works like the real thing. Also, if you download this mod and try it out, please do leave some feedback on your experience after you have used it, good or bad. And, of course, endorsements are always welcome. Thanks! --- ====================================================================================== MAJOR NEW VERSION ADDITION - V-Tec Backpacks & Fannypacks versions with weight limits! ====================================================================================== There are now two different versions of the V-Tec Backpack and V-Tec Fannypack: 1) Original unlimited weight capacity versions with automatic item storage. 2) New limited weight capacity versions with adjustable weight limits. Please see the Usage sections below for details on their use. Description =========== Basically, these mods add a wearable/droppable backpack and fannypack to the game. They are one-off items from Vault Tec, found at the Vault Tec HQ. I created these some time back and have been using them pretty much continuously since. The unlimited weight capacity packs are technically \'god\' items, as they allow you to carry as much as you like with no weight issues. The limited weight capacity packs are far more lore friendly and obviously limit the total weight that the packs can hold. The original idea of a wearable container backpack was originally inspired by the Sack of Holding mod by Quazzy (http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1489). Things have moved on quite a way from that concept though... I thought it was a great idea, but wanted something that fitted in better with the Fallout world that would look good too. Hence the backpack and fannypack models being chosen from Bunsaki brilliant Blackwolf Backpack mod (http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2553). Big credit to him for generously allowing people to use the backpack models in their own mods. Thanks! ---- Note that the \'limited\' packs have the following default weight capacities, but this can be tweaked through their options: Backpack: 35wg Fannypack: 15wg ---- It\'s worth me mentioning that, with the limited weight packs, you will see certain items that you have placed in them being tagged, in the same way items you are equipped with are tagged in your inventory. This is because they are \'equipped\'. Put it this way, a lot of people have tried to limit the weight capacity of containers in Fallout 3, me included. However, boxes, etc, are not the only objects in the game with inventories and I\'m not above a bit of in-game human experimentation. ;) Location ======== Both are l
Adds wearable backpacks and fannypacks as separate containers, with both limited and unlimited weight versions. A classic Fallout 3 mod from 2010 with 360 endorsements, offering a simple way to carry extra gear without overcomplicating the game.
