📋 About This Mod
This is an old mod, so not as compatible anymore.
So by now you know every blade of grass in the Commonwealth... Have a reason to explore again on your 34th play-through.
Adds 12 NEW locations to the Commonwealth. Mostly to the quiet North/Northwest and a few themed ruined stores in the city.
Quality over quantity, 12 vanilla-like but detailed locations. Each with a theme or story behind it.
Without giving too much away:
2, Hillside Fort
3, Sailing club
4, Franks Fishing Supplies
5, Harry's Place
6, Adult Bookstore
7, Collapsed Tunnel
8, Broken APC
9, Star Salon
10, Tobacconist
11, Rocket Records
12, Gunners North Watch
Most with map markers to follow and discover yourself. Unique vendors and apparel included.

Compatibility
When this mod was originally released there were very few location mods. Now there are a lot that will cause compatibility issues. Some locations are worse than others. I can't guarantee how it will work with all the other mods that are frequently installed.
If in doubt, don't install this. Some very wonderful people have linked mods in the comment section that can help if you are determined to try this.
Will I Fix this? Short answer "No", sorry! I would like to but it would mostly need complete rebuilding, it's not worth it when there are better mods out there now. Thanks for taking the time to check out this mod page though.

Notes about permissions:
Everybody has permission to alter, fix, change in any way and reupload to the Nexus. Go for it, this belongs to everyone, so do what you want with it except one thing DO NOT charge any fee what-so-ever to download or 'unlock' them in any way, my mods or mods based on it should be free. If you do make this better and reupload it (welldone you!) a namecheck somewhere is not required but would be super nice and I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018 – might have compatibility issues with newer DLC or mods that alter the Commonwealth.
