📋 About This Mod
The Institute's synth vendor is a major vendor (the only major vendor?) that can't sell you a power armor frame. There's no need for a station nearby; a frame purchased in Diamond City just appears on your left. So I replicated this for the Institute. This may not be lore-friendly, but you don't have to buy the frame (or download the mod).
This small mod lets you purchase Power Armor from the Institute's synth vendor, adding a new way to acquire armor in Fallout 4. It's a simple convenience for players who want to gear up without scavenging. With 437 endorsements and 17,498 downloads, it has a modest but active user base.
