📋 About This Mod
There is a problem with chemistry sets placed around the world that aren't usable for some reason, and in NV the only usable chemistry sets that I can think of would be in Doc Mitchell's house and the Abandoned BoS Bunker. Thanks to Base Object Swapper, this small file does away with that problem by replacing all static chemistry sets with usable versions. This also affects any modded locations that uses static chemistry sets as well.
Works in TTW as well, now that chem set in the Rivet City Science Lab is now usable.
Additionally, I recommend these mods to expand the functionalities of chemistry sets, use one at a time though.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (74k) shows it's a popular fix.
- ESPless means it won't clutter your load order.
- Makes chemistry sets actually useful instead of just decoration.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects static sets; may not cover all world-placed ones.
- Last updated in 2023, so might not be compatible with the latest game patches.
For Fallout 4 players who hate seeing chemistry sets they can't use. If you're a crafter who wants more accessible workbenches, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you're fine with the vanilla static sets or want more complex crafting overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESPless, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no load order worries.
- If you're using a mod that also changes chemistry sets, test for conflicts—this one might override or be overridden.
- Check if the mod affects sets in DLC areas; if not, you might need a patch.
