📋 About This Mod
This mod overhauls the room given to the player in Vault 81.
It also adds a gym, a laundry room and a shower area for maximum immersion (like holy crap these poor people didn't have showers or washing machines). In order for V81 to actually be a viable player home, I also added all workbenches (cooking, chem, armor, weapon and power armour) and made Alexis have more than 100 caps on her.
If you want to also have Armoursmith Workbench and Weaponsmith workbench from AWKCR, use the alternative version that adds those too.
The room has 2 magazine racks, a Bobblehead stand (shelf) and lots of storage.
