Away From It all a.k.a. The Pond

Away From It All   A. K. A.  "The Pond"

Hello Again !!!

I have something special this time.....

This is for those that just want  to get "away from it all "...

My inspiration for this mod/location was my childhood memories of school trips to

Pioneer villages...

You can find many of these "villages" all over north America  that are wonderful to visit especially if you want to learn how the first "pioneers" lived .

Boston has one too at Salem...(so this isnt that far from "lore friendly"  ).

Now about this mod ....

My main concern was keeping  it  as low tech as possible.

This means that the only thing electric you will find are the Radio beacon which has been replaced with a low tech antenna tower and the water powered gen  that feeds a motor for the purifier which again is replaced by a water tower.

All lights are oil lamps which in my opinion really add to the whole concept and atmosphere.(its magical at night..seriously).

Just in case you DO want to add lights ive added a wireless power transmitter as usual where the gen is  so you dont make the place look like crap with the wires.. ;)

All buildings are made by hand strictly with resources found in the game,meaning no prefabs of any kind  aside from a few roofs and floors that i had to use .

Im not going to get into how many or what buildings you will find because that will spoil the fun.

The jobs you will find ready to assign are:

3 food/bar counters  ( the Bar has a mat ).

4 Guard posts on the 2 watch towers and the sheriffs building.

2 vendor stalls

and plenty of crops...

Here i Strongly suggest the mod by Northland diggers  that has many jobs suited for this location.

Also a MUST is Ethreon's "cabin in the woods" mod that has all you need to add to this location without changing the concept.

In the build menu  you will find:

A set of chairs and table made for this mod

A wooden bench

A wooden bar stool

A single wooden bed

A skeleton bunk bed that needs mattresses (since the bunk doesnt have snap points simply place a sleeping bag on top then use console to sink it (Z -70)  and then place the second sleeping bag where the first one was  This way you have a bunk with 2 occupants at the same time)

A new all wood caravan hitching post  to match the location but would look great anywhere.(resources/misc)

Finally a watch tower that simply needs a guard marker of your choice...(wood/prefabs )

Ive decorated as less as possible to allow your personal touches as usual...

This mod has its own precombined geometry and precombined visibility so make sure it loads after any mods that may conflict.(performance is great and never dropped below 75fps where im capped)
