📋 About This Mod
WARNINGS & DISCLAIMER:
This is an overhaul... that is to say I not only merged some already existing mods and tweaked them to work together, but fixed a bunch of bugs and added some stuff of my own to make the vehicles more realistic and the gameplay more immersive. Everything mentioned in the original readme files of the mods featured in the overhaul applies, for more information on the contents of this overhaul please read them. Btw, don\'t forget to take a look in the authors\' pages and leave there the endorsement they deserve.
IMPORTANT:
I got to fix the autosave bug in the original files.
Use either the ESM or the ESP file, never both at the same time.
CONTENTS:
Busworld by summel.
Scavangable Vehicles by spligitmoose.
DESCRIPTION:
Now cars and motorbikes are lootable and contain a variety of related items such as scrap metal, gas tanks, sensor modules, etc.
On the other hand, bigger vehicles - buses, metro cars, etc - have fully functional interiors.
