📋 About This Mod
Adds a new display shelf to the game that can hold and visibly show Holotapes. Check out the video, Xander walks you through it. In Update 1. 1 I added a shelf that holds the 5 Game Tapes. Xander didn't know about them so they aren't in the video below. See the 3rd photo here for that one.

Installs like normal with NMM or Vortex. Manual install is fine too as this mod uses archives. This mod does not require any DLC.
Two versions available for download. ESL and ESP.
Can be built at any settlement, any amount of times. From the vanilla build menu, go to Decorations, Wall Decorations, and then Misc at the far right. Since this mod doesn't require any DLC, I kept it in vanilla menus.
From there just add Holotapes to the shelf through the container menu and they will auto appear. They will also snap to each other with a bit of space between them (update 1. 3). Makes it easier to align correctly. Should work with literally any Holotape, vanilla/DLC/mods. The Game Displays only work with the 5 Game Holotapes.
For version 1. 2:
After updating, one must open/close the shelf inventory to make the tapes in it rearrange in the "new" way.
Players that have WSFW/WS+ installed to NOT spam the hotkey. If done so while the shelf refreshes, some tape props may not display correctly on the shelf.
Thanks to Niston for rewriting the main script for version 1. 2 which results in an all around better experience when using the display shelves.
