📋 About This Mod
Welcome to the Goodsprings Schoolhouse Cellar! This mod adds a cellar under the schoolhouse in Goodsprings, as the name may imply, but that's not all.
It also adds the Cap-Sure Ballistic Tranquilizer Delivery System, a scoped pnuematic rifle which fires a variety of custom projectiles, each with a distinctly different effect.
Cellar Features:
- []All the basic amenities ('Well Rested' bed, benches, radio, etc.) [/][]Loads of safe storage that works splendidly with mods like Mobile Auto-sorter [/][]Fully decorated inside & out [/][]Campfire crafting (oven) [/][]Infirmary and NV-friendly laboratory [/][]Switchable lighting (with a few intentional exceptions) [/][]Terminal with an accompanying story that aims to place the cellar within the bounds of lore and location [/][]Companion-friendly (fully navmeshed, idles, beds, etc) [/][]A (very) short quest to own the cellar [/]
Also included today, at no additional cost, is a completely rebuilt-for-FO:NV (and fully operational!) version of my Cap-Sure Tranquilizer Rifle mod, originally for Fallout 3. This beauty is 100% guaranteed to instantly pacify the wasteland's worst denizens, ensuring safe pacifist runs, copious mischief, and hilarious Havok pratfalls and punchline antics.
- []Unique models (rifle, ammo, projectiles, impact data) [/][]A new craftable chem (Tranquilizer Sedative) [/][]5 distinct craftable ammo types (1 tranquilizer, 4 poison) [/][]A find-able schematic that allows all related crafting [/][]A new accompanying Challenge ("Darted!") & reward Perk ("Needle in a Haystack") enabling more Syringes than normal [/][]Original custom Pip-Boy icons for rifle, ammo & perk[/]
Install:
- []Extract the files to a temporary location [/][]Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary [/][]Copy files to (install folder)\fallout new vegas\Data\ [/][]Start FOMM, place a checkmark beside the .esp & .esm files [/][]Bash the crap out of your patch, if you're into that sort of thing [/][]Start Fallout: New Vegas [/]
- []Start FOMM, uncheck the .esp & .esm files [/][]Delete the files associated with the mod: [/]
Upgrade: []Before upgrading, remove all items from storage [/][*]Remove yourself (and any followers)
