📋 About This Mod
Build your own Hobo Home.
changelog:
v1. 5: - The Varmint Rifle that falls out of the boxcar is now no longer static and can be taken/used (NOTE: Requires a new save) - Once you get the fridge, you will also get a small stash of booze that will be placed on the cinder blocks (NOTE: Requires a new save) - A gate has been added to the exterior of the schoolhouse that you can place at the entrance to your hovel. - The water SHOULD now no longer have any visual issues - Please report issues if you see them - I have made the cliff far less accessible, and less tempting. - NPCs should no longer be able to sleep in your bed (or even enter your hovel once you have the gate)
- Please inform me if any of these changes aren't working, or are not up to standard so that they can be addressed in version 2. 0
DESCRIPTION
I have always loved the huge hotel rooms and the massive mansion mods, but every now and then I have wanted something more modest.
New Vegas can be a place of wealth and riches for those who play their cards right, but for those who don't it is just as harsh as anywhere else. Some people are lucky enough to get a home, some live in caves, and some just sleep under the stars. This mod focuses more on that last one.
The purpose of this mod is for Role-playing. It isn't meant to be fancy or even all that functional, just to be used as a place to sleep while you get back of your feet after taking a blow to the head.
LOCATION / GUIDE
Just behind Doc Mitchell's house and just south of the Goodsprings Gas Station, you will find a small alcove (you will know it when you see the boxcars and the stack of cinder blocks)
To start off, you won't see much at all and this is because you will need to find the bits you need. (Look below for a list of the objects and their locations)
List of Objects: Walls: Salvage the Boxcar just to the left of the alcove Some Boxes and Clutter: Will appear where the boxcar was once it is salvaged Campfire: Same as Above Bed: The nearest ruined house Footlocker: The left wall of the exterior of the Gas Station Locker: Out the back of the Trader Refrigerator/Booze: In one of the rooms inside the Prospector Saloon Dining Table: The nearest ruined house to the school Seating: Some logs literally a few steps up the hill Fence: Same as above Gate: Right outside the entrance to the Schoolhouse
Also, if anyone has any ideas or opinions for what could be added/changed in this mod, please let me know :) Thank You -Makaro
