📋 About This Mod
A basic tent mod that allows you to save while out and about. Includes disposable and recoverable versions, with different recipes and weights. They can be crafted at chemistry stations under the Utility heading. Throw them like a short-range grenade and a tent will appear where they land. The grenade uses a hide bundle model so that it's not too immersion-breaking. Counts as a sleeping bag so you can only get 3 hours sleep in survival (like the tents in Far Harbor).

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid endorsement ratio (252 endorsements, 76k downloads) shows players trust it
- Solves the survival mode save problem without cheating—tents cost weight and resources
- Disposable and recoverable options give flexibility for different play styles
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated January 2021—might have issues with newer game patches or DLC
- Heavy tents could be a burden early game when carry weight is tight
- No mention of compatibility with other survival overhaul mods—could conflict
For Fallout 4 survival players who hate losing progress to random crashes or tough fights. Also great for explorers who want to save before risky encounters without relying on beds. Skip if you prefer hardcore no-save runs or use mods that already add save options.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Craft the tent at a cooking station or chemistry station—check your crafting menus after installing
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the files to avoid manual install mistakes
- Test the tent in a safe area first to see how the save mechanic works before relying on it in the field
