About this mod

Adds some realistic collectible toys to the world.

UPDATE 5/20/2013: Added Fireside Colors, which was not part of Gilbert's original sets, so it may not really match the others. Check the pictures! (I made a few changes after I took the screenshots, so the name of the set is a bit more clear than that.)

UPDATE 5/16/2013: Added two more sets, Soldering Outfit and Magnetic Fun and Facts!

My first plunge at making custom items! I took inspiration from this very interesting article. It felt like all the items mentioned in it, no matter how crazy, would fit into the world of Fallout. In my opinion, there's a severe lack of collectables in the game, toys in particular, so this was a great learning experience and very fun, too.

Gilbert's Fireside Colors is a bit of a special case - Ranx31 requested a wood-burning set, but after looking around, I only managed to find this image that could work. I had to make the new label from scratch so it may look a bit different from the rest. If you know of any other retro wood burning related set, please let me know!

Here's the list of toys you'll find:
- Gilbert's Atomic Energy Lab
- Gilbert's Home Chemistry Set
- Gilbert's Glass Blowing Set
- Gilbert's Molten Lead Kaster Kit
- Gilbert's Soldering Outfit
- Gilbert's Magnetic Fun and Facts
- Gilbert's Fireside Colors

These nice collectibles can be found as random loot in toy boxes, and are sometimes sold by Moira Brown, Knick Knack, Lydia Montenegro and Seagrave Holmes. To install, extract the folders to your '\Fallout 3\Data\' folder. That's it!
