📋 About This Mod
- So, I remember going through the far harbor shenanigans, making nice with everyone, and generally seeing what all was available. I got a far harbor settlement and decided to check what all I had picked up in my travels, because why not? And going through the decoration tabs, I realize I have those fancy glowing bottles that the Children of Atom use. That's pretty awesome, right? Well, it would be. If only I liked the color they came in, or if they came in more than just the one color. Now they do.
FEATURES

FAQ
- How do I start using this mod?
Just install it! No configuration or special steps necessary.
- You can't upgrade directly from one to the other. While I recommend not changing your load order mid-game, if you already have 1. 00 you can also install 2. 00 and run both at the same time.
- There are a few potential reasons. Perhaps you installed the main version of the file and haven't completed the Far Harbor quests for the Children of Atom. It could be that you installed one of the optional addons, and CBL_IWantMyBottles.esp or CBL_UninstallerChem.esp is before ColorfulBottleLanterns.esp in your load order (ColorfulBottleLanterns.esp should be the first esp in your load order, in terms of esps added by this mod). And finally, it could be that another mod is overwriting the menu changes made by this one.
- How do I start using this mod?
This Fallout 4 mod adds 14 new color choices for the bottle lanterns found in Far Harbor's Children of Atom, addressing the original's limited color palette. It's a simple cosmetic enhancement for players who want more variety in their settlements.

For Fallout 4 settlement builders who love decorating with bottle lanterns and want more color options. Skip if you don't use Far Harbor or don't care about lantern aesthetics.
