📋 About This Mod
Yes it might be good etiquette to leave doors open but not when its a vault! This mod closes the door behind you when you leave vault 81. So the next time you come back you have to open it again using your pip boy.
This mod only works when the first vault 81 intro quest is completed (Gained access to Vault 81 and talked to the overseer).
INSTALLATION
Download using Nexus Mod Manager or install manually by extracting the contents to the fallout 4 Data folder.
IMPORTANT! Only disable/delete this mod after you have completely exited vault 81! Otherwise you may find yourself stuck in vault 81 or the door controls will be missing. If this happens, enable the mod, enter Vault 81 and exit into the wasteland to fix.
