📋 About This Mod
This mod is now under the care & maintainence of Zenreich, found here.
This is now a deprecated version of the mod, designed to work with Tale of Two Wastelands 2. 0.
There won't be a vanilla New Vegas conversion of this mod, sorry. I just don't have the time and the finished product would be very different.
If you enjoy the Halfway House, you might like USS Hoodwink, a submarine the player can live and travel in (shameless self-promotion over.)
This is a player safehouse in the form of a bunker somewhere between DC and New Vegas (up to your imagination). It's based around a hangar room which serves as bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, workshop, storage, office and everything else, generously decorated with souvenirs put there by the last inhabitants. Attached are two short arms of hall and tunnel which connect the bunker to the Capital Wasteland and Mojave Wasteland, complete with cave-ins and a water purifying room. The style is industrial, decorated domestically and with some makeshift use of materials as furniture. The bunker was originally built as a Chinese safehouse before the Great War.
- An auto-doc which can heal, remove radiation and addictions (including ultra-jet) as well as performing cosmetic surgery and giving a haircut.
- A workbench, reloading bench and oven which can be used like a campfire.
- Sinks and a valve which produce clean water.
- A Sierra Madre vending machine.
- Two player-owned beds which will give well-rested bonuses.
- A barred-off "safe room".
- A toilet which can be sat on (but not used!)
- Lots of different storage containers (ALL SAFE) and areas for displaying items.
- The walls are covered in posters, signs and other artwork, perfect for collectors!
- The tunnels to New Vegas can only be unlocked from the New Vegas side to keep the bunker from being used to avoid your first proper journey to the Mojave. THE KEY IS IN A VENT NEXT TO THE DOOR!
- CONTAINS 2 MODDED MESHES WHICH MUST BE INCLUDED, the toilet (which can be sat on) and a curtain which I removed collision data from to make the bedroom easier to access. These should be put in "\Data\Meshes\".
- The DC entrance is south of Jury Street Metro, it has its own map marker which should show up as an unvisited location.
- The New Vegas entrance is in The Devil's Gullet, a vanilla New Vegas location near the Yangtze memorial. The key to unlock the door to the hangar is in a vent by the locked door.
I've put a lot of time into the mod but it's also my first, I can't guarantee there are no bugs but I'd be surprised if there's anything seriously wrong with it. I've used room markers in an attempt to cut down stress on
