Decorative Items

Something that has been bothering me for a while is the fact that were are so few "daily life" items around the wasteland. For instance, no personal hygiene supplies anywhere! So, if I make a house with a bathtub and everything, there is no shampoo or soap to put on shelves nearby. How do you wash up around the Capital Wasteland? So, I took the time to make some retextures and put together some simple decorative items to place around your home and make it seem a bit more lived-in.

This mod requires no DLC, only the base game.

In order to avoid problems with other mods, these are not added to the leveled lists; rather, you'll find them around the wasteland, in respawning containers or out in the open. Alternatively, if you simply cannot wait to get your hands on these, you can pick them all up at a new cell I assembled for testing purposes. To enter, open the console and type ''coc aaaFramedQuoteCell'' without quotes. Once you are done, open the console again and type ''coc Vault101Exterior'' to return to the wastelands.

I left a note in the testing cell with the latest update (v7) that has instructions on how to get in and out, as well as a list of the items added and their locations. Hopefully that will make it a bit easier for the intrepid explorer to go looking for them. Also, with the latest update (v9) I placed some of my items (the framed quote, SPECIAL book, and a couple of others) in your room in Vault 101 when you start Escape!. Feel free to grab them all before you leave!

Being decorative, these don't really do anything and my knowledge isn't really enough to make it any other way. But I upped the prices as an afterthought, so at least you can sell them for some good caps. If you want to use these in your mods, feel free to do so - just make sure to credit me and the source of the materials I used.

Here are the objects I have made so far:

• Hygiene Supplies:
• A bottle of shampoo, a boxed bar of soap and a washing rag. You will find a stash of them in a respawning metal box located in an unmarked camp by a radioactive pond, between MDPL-13 Power Station and Vault 92, really close to the location of the alien crash site. Follow the road, and you'll see it. If you are using More Map Markers by Xyx, the location will have a marker named 'Watering Hole'.

• Box of Dog Food:
• A simple box of dog food for your pal Dogmeat, which can be found in the Scrapyard, in a metal box behind the shack near the south facing entrance.

• Sewing Kit:
• A nice sewing kit, based on the lunchbox mesh, since that's one of my hobbies in real life. They are placed in a toolbox inside Lady Frumperton's Fashions.

• Hitchkiker's Guide to Washington, D. C.:
• A requested book for you to put on a shelf somewhere. You
