📋 About This Mod
What this mod does:
This mod replaces the look of many of the existing containers in the game world, providing some variety out in the wilds of the Commonwealth. It adds 24 new varieties of suitcases, 13 new dufflebags, 11 new coolers, 9 metal boxes, 12 wooden crates. 11 footlockers, 10 tool boxes, 4 tool chests, and 5 cap stash tins, all re-textures of the vanilla versions, including Nuka Cola variants. (Okay, maybe I have difficulties with round numbers...) ^_^
If you add Settlement Menu Manager to your game, then you will also get a settlement workshop menu section in the Furniture sub-menu that allows you to craft everything except the cap stash tins. The re-textured cap stashes are only found in the wild. Sorry!
Details: My thinking is that it's been over 200 years since the bombs dropped. And if I'm gonna suspend my disbelief enough to believe that a container made of cloth (like a suitcase) or wood has survived 200 + years, then it's not gonna serve the same purpose or look even close to what it did back in the day. I mean come on. That foot locker isn't gonna be sitting at the foot of a military bunk all nice and olive green anymore. Nope, it's gonna be banged up, painted a dozen times over, and holding razor grain, mutfruit, and tatos. Or whatever. My point is, that anything that's been kicking around for 200 years isn't gonna look the same way it did back when, it's gonna have some flavor to it. That's what this mod's about.
So anyway, this is a continuation of our Suitcase Texture Replacer where we go a step beyond and stick these out in the world and in the workshop for y'all to have and place in your settlements. Because what's the point in replacing the texture of the suitcase with another texture of a suitcase? No! We want y'all to put these suitcases everywhere! And, of course, wherever your hearts desire. Go forth and decorate the world!
So, I give you Suitcases!
But wait!
There's more!
I present to you... Coolers!
And that's not all!
A Variety of Containers adds visual variety to containers found in the Commonwealth, and with Settlement Menu Manager, introduces a new workshop category for crafting most of them. Ideal for Fallout 4 players who want more diverse container options in settlements.
