📋 About This Mod
New Crates by Phaedrus (aka gizmologist) A modder's resource - no ESP.
Twenty-one new crates to supplement the TWO styles in the vanilla game. They're drop-in replacements for existing crates - same size, same origin. (This is not to say that this is a replacer mod - it is just a resource.)
Also adds three animated crates: one where the top slides off and falls to the ground; and two animated animal crates. The animal crates are identical except for size - one is 64 units high (normal crate size) and the other is 256 units across. These can be resized to cover the range from 32 units to 512 units. All animated crates will need a script - the following works fine:
begin openclose short state if ( onActivate ) if ( state == 0 ) playgroup "Idle2" set state to 1 elseif ( state == 1 ) playgroup "Idle3" set state to 0 endif endif end opencloseThere is a zipped video in the downloads section showing two animated crates in action. The animal crate is the small version - the big version is exactly the same. Note, however, that the crate on the right does not have a closing animation. Once the top is off, it's off.
Permission is granted for you to use these as you see fit.
Credits to Barabus for all the textures except straw.tga which is my own fault work.
Crates is a modder's resource that adds 21 new crate models, including three animated crates, to Fallout: New Vegas. It has no ESP, so it's purely a resource for modders to use in their own projects. With 29 endorsements and last updated in 2015, it's a niche but useful addition for those creating custom content.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fills a real gap—vanilla only has two crate types, so this triples the variety.
- Animated crates are a nice touch for dynamic environments.
- As a resource, it's lightweight and won't clutter your load order.
⚠️ Cons
- Not for end-users—requires modding knowledge to actually use in-game.
- Last updated in 2015, so may not be compatible with newer modding tools.
- Low endorsement count (29) means it's a niche pick, not a community staple.
For modders creating custom locations or quests who need more crate variety. Skip if you're a player looking for a plug-and-play addition—this won't show up in your game without extra work.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a resource, you'll need to use the GECK to place these crates in your mod.
- Check the file structure to see if the meshes are organized for easy importing.
- If you're new to modding, look up tutorials on using modder's resources in Fallout: New Vegas.
