📋 About This Mod
Atom Cats Garage!
Add screenshots of your settlement, would love to see them!
The Story/Quest
Continues the story set by Thicket Executions and Roadside Pines Motel. Settlement Story 3 is a 20-30 minute dungeon style quest. It is fully voiced and should be some fun. The quest Nine Lives will appear in your Pipboy. There are also 5 holotapes, find them all! Read the terminals, do all the things! Also pay attention to the music in the dungeon... new track in there just for this mod's interiors.
Also gain a new power armor frame, the Atom Frame. You'll know it when you see it. The second photo above shows Unoctium's Hellfire X-03 Power Armor over the Atom Frame. Works with all vanilla power armor as well as any power armor added by mods.
Note that it is not required to have Thicket Executions or even care about the story. You can simply have the settlement if you desire.
With each settlement I add to the game, a new addition to the story is made. Learn some Neeher lore and discover the connections from Xander's Aid and Op Salvo.

The Settlement
The settlement is pretty large and fully functional. New settlers will show up there and everything. Settlement areas go all the way to the river for water access.I did not make the Atom Cats themselves as potential settlers. I did not want to directly edit them. They will stay there to defend the settlement but can't be commanded and don't count towards the number of settlers.
Potential issue: Inability to build on other objects.
Possible fix for above: have not tested this but in the console type "resetquest patch_1_6" and press enter. Apparently a Bethesda patch broke some stuff way back lol.
Settlement features:
Has plenty of dirt for food.
Has water sources for.... water.
Very high build area.
Functional settlers.
Whatever other settlements have... the point is that it's just like it belongs in the base game and I made sure it acted like it too lol
Requires no other mods/DLC!

CBBE for the Atom Charger Suit?
