📋 About This Mod
No backstory this time around ... cough about 'Ravens Nest' being the call sign for the Forest Service Fire Crew stationed here before the war and how the couriers had since taken it over as a northwest way station ... the main thing is you're here now and it's yours if you want it.

[]Sleep space for seven including the very first (that I know of) pull-out double bed sofa - activated with a side lever. []A massive stone fireplace. I would really love it if someone with the expertise would 'gimp' a descent resource for this game, but this one isn't too bad for a highly disguised hack-job. []You can turn all lights on and off, close and open all window shutters; find storage where there was none before with activators at the source. []You can set the dinner table for a two-place setting or a four-place setting. Activators are on the wall and will remove items from the shelves and place them on the table and also move a chair into position at the table. (Hope someone isn't already sitting in that chair or they're in for a surprise!) You supply the food and drink if you wish. []The stove, not your run-of-the-mill stove, will allow you to turn on the back burners from the front control panel which will in turn either get the coffee perking or bubble up some hot stew which you can partake of when the burner is on. The stove also has the usual in-game recipes as well. []There's a small glass display in the corner desk area which you can open, remove or keep the mask inside, and place your own trophies in it. []There are three weapon cases in the living area that serve as containers and decoration: one contains the requisite rifle over the mantle (anything can go inside but the cowboy repeater will always show), another is designated for melee, and there's a pistol case on the desk. There are several weapon lockers in the bedroom besides as well as ammo storage. []Anyone familiar with the "RCtable" knows it has supposed storage underneath that you could never access .. until now. That one's been redone for the bedroom as a washstand. []An outdoor workroom - canvas awning lifts by activator to provide an open space with an overhang and gives access to the workbench and reloader with actual barrel containers below. []A raised deck for taking in the view or for lounging at the table. Umbrella is optional and kept in storage nearby. []A two-seater outhouse is located at the bottom of the stairs leading up to the cabin .. convenient but not too close for obvious reasons. []A large bath .. in the form of a lake (you're using biodegra

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 855 endorsements and nearly 15k downloads.
- Classic mod from 2012 that still gets attention.
- Simple concept: a cozy log cabin for wasteland wanderers.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2012 — may have compatibility issues with newer game versions or mods.
- Only one building type, so it's a niche addition.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who want a rustic, lore-friendly player home in the wilderness. If you're a fan of Hunters Ridge from FO3, this is a direct spiritual successor. Skip if you're looking for complex settlement mechanics or heavily scripted homes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an older mod, make sure to use a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Mod Organizer 2 to avoid conflicts.
- Check the mod's file structure after download — if it's a loose file, you may need to place it in your Data folder manually.
- If you're using other mods that alter the same area, consider using a load order tool like LOOT to sort your plugins.
