INSTALLATION:

-------------

1. Extract the VDSC.zip file to your 'Fallout 3/Data/' directory.

2. Ensure the 'Textures', 'Mesh' and 'Sound' folders of this zip file has extracted to to your 'Fallout 3/Data/' directory, if prompted agree to overwrite old files.

3. Go to 'My Documents\My Games\Fallout3' open 'FALLOUT. INI' find the line 'bInvalidateOlderFiles=0' and replace with 'bInvalidateOlderFiles=1', this should only be done if you haven't already modified this line for other mods already. If you don't want to manually change this there are plenty of mod's avaliable to download which do this for you so.

4. From your Fallout 3 Launcher, click DATA FILES check "VDSC.esp".

5. Run Fallout 3.

Once the mod is running in game, all you need to do is head to one of the two stores which sell house goods, either in Tenpenny Towers or Megaton, from there you can purchase the Cook-o-matic 3000. The Cook-o-matic 3000 works just like the workbench or chemistry set, just clicking it to activate it. You can also move the Cook-o-matic 3000 around by picking it up with the Z-key should you wish to relocate it elsewhere in your home.

The Cook-o-matic 3000 can only cook items once you've discovered a recipe. This can be done by reading the Joy of Cooking For One and How to Eat Rat books which are scattered around the Wasteland, you'll have to keep a sharp eye out to find them all. You can also gain recipes by completing quests such as the The Nuka-Cola Challenge. By finding all the recipes you'll also be granted the Master Chef perk, which will triple the amount of food cooked in the Cook-o-matic 3000.
