📋 About This Mod
!!!!!! READ THE BLOODY DESCRIPTION !!!!!!
I DON'T KNOW ENGLISH WELL. SORRY FOR THAT.
There are smarter people than I in the Nexus universe. If you think I've done something wrong, please let me know what it is and how to correct it.
My RIG:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core Processor, RTX 3070 8GB, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 2xM2 SSD, 27-inch 2560x1440 monitor. I have the NG version of the game. I play FO4 at a resolution of 2560x1440 on ULTRA. No ENB, maximum with Clikrad reshade - STALKER vibes.
ZP's Vaults:
1200+ reworked files guys and this is the result. Vaults are darker, more metallic, colder and more depressing. Personally, they remind me not only of FO3/FNV, but also of the Alien movies.
The textures are not only reworked Vault textures, but also textures for Computers, Vault crates, some Furniture and Decals. I uploaded the Decals separately, it's not sure if everyone will like them. They fit my mod, that's why I reworked them. I also fixed the alpha channel on two things - rubber mats and cabinets - they have holes. The textures are maximum 2K.
If you want to have the right atmosphere, choose a mod that darkens the interiors. I would also recommend the Pip-Boy Flashlight mod. Music also plays a BIG role.
Sounds - I changed:
- door sounds - the doors now sound a bit like Fallout 3 doors
- vault door sounds - the sound is rougher, creakier and more mechanical
- vault door key sounds (electric motor) - the sound is rougher, creakier and more mechanical
- transformer sounds - the sound is thicker and louder
Please report any anomalies to me. I will try to fix them as soon as possible.
I don't have time for comparison videos, maybe I'll do them later. Sorry.
Pictures are taken with Dark Commonwealth mod and Pip-Boy Flashlight. My flashlight light has a red light circle around it, sorry about that.
