Zzxyzz for creating Robco Patcher.Loganbacca for creating Sleep Or Save, a staple in my load order and the indirect inspiration for the SOS mod mini-series.
FogZZZ for the original idea, Pulowski Shelter Save Point. No assets from the original mod were used.
I made this because I really liked the idea, but I wanted a simpler and more seamless way for users (and myself) to save at shelters.
