📋 About This Mod
VENDOR VARIETY & GUARD FURNITUREVendors
Adds extra cosmetic choices for your workshop vendors like crafting workbenches, stools, writing at a desk. etc. The new vendors work just like the vanilla vendors but use different workshop objects and animations, this mod doesn't change any vanilla records. The vendors are found in the vanilla menus, there is also a version for SKE/SKI users.
All vendors have 4 new options: Stools(sit)/Desks(sit and write)/Chairs(sit)/Chairs(sit and read the paper)
Vendor specific workbenches:
- Clinic
- 2 types of Chemistry Workbench + Test tube animations mat
- Armorer
- Armor Workbench + Power Armor frames
- Weapon-smith
- 2 types of Weapon Workbench + Baseball Bat animation mat
- Bar
- Cooking Stove + Fire Pit + Prewar Stove with chopping board
- Trader
- Giddy-up Buttercup repair bench
Guard Furniture
Also added are some Guard post furniture, they function like ordinary guard posts but with furniture related animation:
Chairs for paper reading and sitting, desk for writing, Baseball Bat animations mat and a bed for naps.
I'll probably add some more if i think of any. Feel free to suggest some, although I'll only be able to do it if the game already has the meshes and animation.
As with adding any mod make a backup of your save, although I don't think this mod should be able to cause issues.
To Do List:
- More replacer options for the chairs/desks
- Something unique for Clothing vendors
- More Work type guard posts
Known Issues:
Armorer Animation for the workbench can sometimes get disconnected from the workbench. Trader Giddy-up Buttercup animation sometimes loses the wrench.
