📋 About This Mod

ACCESSIBLE BACKPACKS

Requires Backpacks of the Commonwealth!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Are you like me? Always picking up guns but just don't have the carry weight to haul them all around? Constantly picking up scrap to mod those guns or build Mama Murphy her Ultra Super Mecha Death Chair 9000, but quickly find yourself overburdened? Constantly stuffing Dogmeat and/or your companion with various odds and ends? And have you picked up Backpacks of the Commonwealth, and thought "man I wish I could, like, PUT stuff in this thing instead of it just increasing my carry weight!" Well, Jimmy, you're wish is about to come true!

Here at Accessible Backpacks, we make it so you CAN put stuff in that portable storage pouch you put on your hinder! So long as this mod is installed along with BOTC, when you equip any backpack from the mod it will add an item to your Aid category that shares the same name as that backpack. Activate that item within the inventory screen or put it on a favorites hotkey, and BOOP, you have yourself a place you can put your garbage without overburdening yourself, your Dogmeat, or whichever luckless sap you've decided to drag across the Commonwealth with you.

Every backpack available in Backpacks of the Commonweath has been granted this feature, so no matter which one you choose, you're guaranteed to be able to get into it and fill it full of sweet rolls, or guns, or guns loaded with sweet rolls if that's your thing.

I made this mod for myself, but figured hey, I can't be the only one who'd want this sort of thing, so I decided to release it as a little appetizer while I continue work on my next weapon mod.

::INSTALLATION::

> Download Backpacks of the Commonwealth, manually or by NMM/Vortex and install it. If living dangerously and installing manually, make sure all the files are properly extracted to your Data folder.

>Install Accessible Backpacks. The mod exists standalone to BOTC, only requiring it as a master, and so can be uninstalled safely without affecting BOTC, plus any updates to BOTC has little chance of interfering with Accessible Backpacks. Make sure to place Accessible Backpacks below BOTC in your load order.

::UNINSTALLATION::

> Disable the mod via the in-game menu or a mod manager, and delete the ESP if desired. As it's standalone from BOTC with scripts that only run when activated, it should be reasonably safe to remove at any time.

::NOTEY-NOTES::

> Because of how things are set up, don't fret if you lose a backpack you "stored" things in; you won't lose the items that you had pu

    💡 Beginner Tips

    • Check if the mod requires a specific game version or DLC—since the description is vague, test it after installing.

    • Try opening your backpack in-game to see how the UI works—it might be a keybind or right-click action.
