    To anyone having problems with invisible walls in the Arbor, be aware that this is an ENB bug and the solution can be found in this thread.

    One of the required mods Animated Aquarium for your mod is now set to hidden...why not just remove it from your mod so we don't have to bother with it causing issues

      Yep, you wouldn't be the first to find this type of problem, I've found this issue has broken other mods too. I thought the whole point of mod-resources was to provide a RESOURCE for modders to PUT INTO their mods, not just have the modder tell all end-users to go find those assets themselves in order for each and every person to reconstruct the mod. Maybe it's a permission thing but if they don't want to freely share a resource they shouldn't upload it as one, because it isn't a resource if modders can't just include & credit it. I can understand a major resource (or an entirely optional one) being treated like this but to require objects like coins, piano, and a fish tank? It's rather silly.

      Btw, there is another Nexus mod called Aquarium which credits Kalten1979 (author of the Aquarium used in this Arbor mod), however the filepaths could be different and I've no idea what Kalten1979 used. Download the "complete file" version. You won't need the esp (that puts the aquarium into the Megaton House). Try the filepathing as-is but if that don't work I would try taking the aquarium mesh and texture folders out of the modder's "malo" folders and putting them straight into the FO3 mesh and texture folders. But it could be they go deeper, in furniture or clutter subfolders, or who knows where. If someone knows please comment. Of course, if you know how to use FO3edit you could, in theory, search the esp for the correct filepath info.

      The other two resources are now found on new Nexus links here: US Coins and: Grand Piano. Hope that helps someone, anyone.

      I just discovered this gem (I cannot resist Bioshock themes), and your post was very helpful.

      You're welcome! Also note if folks use UUF3P, it has for a while included the silent doors fix listed on this mod's description page.

      PS - Folks, please note, I don't play this mod! The only FO3 mod by General Varus I keep in my game is Trenton Towers, and even that is edited by me to remove a third of the enemies. I'm just not into hordes of enemies to challenge a heavily mod-buffed player, I'm more into exploration and story. That should mean I like his Muldoon Electronics, but thought it a bit poorly devised and tad glitchy.

      Alpha-C-ev Underwater House Also includes the Aquarium mod and given the file paths are identical the Aquarium mod should work.

    just finished this mod. enjoyed every second of it. I've played every BioShock Game (1, 2, and Infinite) and this was an amazing mod to satisfy my inner BioShock fan. I figure the mod is abandoned by now, but I'm glad I finally found it now.

    Hi! I'm about to download this mod (I'm sure that's going to be great :D), and I noticed that when I tried to downlod the "Animated Aquarium" resource, the author hid it. Does it have a big part in the mod, or will I be fine without it?

      I've played this through once already and now doing it a second time with a new game. Aquarium doesn't play any role in the mod, just scenery. At some point you'll just get the red '!' if its missing.. Having said that, I do have the aquarium file (1 mb). If you want it, PM me and I can send you a link.

      It is unfortunate that the mod has been discontinued. Well crafted although with some insanely heavy combat. Using console commands and wandering freely, I can see that there are a lot of undeveloped areas.

    This place is too damn big and there's too many enemies. I can't even find my way out of this and I stupidly saved over my save so it's either finish this or lose 2 hours of progress.
    I unlocked some doors with the console and I unlocked the lobby computer. Went to it and there's an option for "Disengage Entrance Lockdown". I pick it and I have no idea what it did because the elevator that leads here still doesn't work.

    I'm rather hoping that this mod is still ongoing; especially seen as how much effort was clearly put into it.

    VARUS!! \/ Good sir, I do hope you are still active!! I have a quick question for you, which may also be relevant to your other mods but I am not that far in sifting through my compatibility patches...

    The question is: Is every single worldspace edit you have for this specific .ESP required and approved by you? As if you aren't aware, the G.E.C.K LOVES to automagically make erroneous edits! I ask because you have undone several UUF3P changes, defaulted values, literally from a decimal value to just the integer string, etc... Also some Point Lookout worldspace cells have been drastically changed. I would assume you went in to check such cells to get inspiration for Arbor, but in the process it all got saved! Please just confirm so I can have things cleaned up. Cheers!!

      I'm fairly certain those Point Lookout records should not be there. There are also quite a few dirty edits that will effect Rivet City and other vanilla locations. I cleaned my copy and had no issues with a play-through.
