The Thing from Another World (for VotW)

IMPORTANT

This mod is no longer supported.  I will not be providing bug fixes for this mod, or any of my other mods which use VotW.

So another film for Valentine's Day with VotW?

Yep.  And a standalone book now.

Does it have chocolates in a heart shaped box with it?

Yep.  If you go buy them yourself.  The same goes for popcorn and drinks too.

Oh, er, is it a chick flick or a romcom?

Yeah kind of.

So tell me what it is then?

It's the original The Thing from Another World (the 1951 version) that was remade by John Carpenter in 1982.

I've also converted the novel of Who Goes There by John W Campbell Jr to Vaul-Tec Kindling(1)  format.

Well that's not very romantic is it?

No, and I never said it was.  What it is though is considered one of the best sci-fi films of the 1950s, and it's also number 87 on the American Film Institute's 100 Years... 100 Thrills list.  See!  No expense is spared for my mods.

It's public domain isn't it?

OK, I'll amend my last statement.  See!  No expense is spent on my mods!

Anyway, how do I get it?

It comes in six bloody flavours - standard and combo ESP, the premium and premium combo ESL version, and the book only (ESP and ESL) version.  If you just want the book then download it either the ESP or ESL version, and off you go.  Bye.  See ya.  The door's that way -----> (2).  Oh, and don't forget to manually activate if you choose the ESL version.

If you want just the video, or the video and book then download the main file.  This is an all-in-one installer and will give you choice between those, and whether you want it in ESP or ESL.  If you choose the ESL, make sure it's manually activated.  For the book only, just download the AIO installer in the optional files.

Crafting them also differs depending on whether you have the combo or standalone version.  If you have the combo version then the book will appear in the VotW holotape menu for the video.  It's completely complimentary too, so costs nothing to craft.  If you have the standalone book version then go to a chem workbench and look under the Vault-Tec Kindling section and the book will be there.  It costs 1 aluminum, 1 circuitry and 1 plastic (same price as VotW tapes).

Anything to be aware of?

Yes.  The standalone version might end up with you locked in the chems workbench.  This isn't something I can really help, and comes about from having way too many craftable items installed, causing the menus to occasionally freak out.  If this happens open the console and type player.moveto play
