📋 About This Mod

Vault 57 by RowanSkie

This new Player Settlement adds in Vault 57 in the Commonwealth! Found southwest of Thicket Excavations and just a few walks away from Concord, this interior settlement is my first ever Creation Kit project made entirely that isn't a patch or a mod.

  • []Fallout 1/2-styled Vault Gear Door, complete with interactive consoles. (the script is modified with thanks to A Random Shrub)

    []Three medium-sized build areas, for each part of the vault you want to separate.

    []The Minutemen can elect to get you to enter this Vault.

    []Texture files for 6 variants of the good old fallout shelter sign created by the US Army Corps of Engineers.

    To start, you need to head down to Thicket Exvacations, and between that place and Concord will be a simple concrete building with fallout shelter posters. Go through the small cave, and activate the control console. Be ready to fight three raiders who decided to hole themselves in the airlock to prevent people from going in further.

    Compatibilities:

    • []PRP is compatible, I didn't edit any precombines.
      • []Thanks to Glitchfiner for helping me out with some details.

        []Thanks to Tenhats for helping me with some other details that let me optimize this further.

        []Thanks to Ryanc299 and JEVBloodlust for inspiring me to create this mod.
