About this mod
Retextures the default Dirty Water carton into a vintage milk carton.
- Permissions and credits
UPDATE: I've temporarily removed the "tapeless" version of the texture as the uploaded file wasn't actually tapeless... Don't worry though! It will be returning as soon as I figure out what I did wrong. >.=.>
This mod replaces the default texture of dirty water into that of a vintage milk carton.
Since first playing the game, it annoyed me that dirty water no longer came in bottles (especially considering the amount of Nuka-Cola and Gwinnet beer bottles laying around). Instead, they come in an old fashioned milk carton. This is strange enough considering that bottled milk delivery was considered the standard before the bombs. So where did all these cartons come from?
Regardless, I figured that if the game is going to insist on all my dirty water being in paper cartons, then I'm going to make those cartons look like they actually had a purpose 200 years ago.
So I went out and grabbed some photos of vintage 1950s milk cartons (complete with a missing persons panel), replaced the original logos and company name to the ingame dairy company "Little Cob Creamery" (for immersion), and packaged it up for the Nexus.
My thinking is that, by the time of the bombs, milk cartons were becoming a common alternative to bottles on store shelves and in schools - particularly in Boston, where there was a collective of creameries within a short distance. They're lighter, easier and cheaper to manufacture, and their square shape makes them easier to fit in trucks. Though the quaint image of the friendly neighborhood milkman showing up on the doorstep with the day's delivery of bovine secretions had nothing to fear, a carton of 2% was not a rarity.
Fast forward through the nuclear flames to the time of the Sole Survivor, and resourceful wastelanders have learned that those dirty cartons are just as good now as they were back then (minus the funky aftertaste).
So here it is - a more colourful carton for your dirty water. It should be easier to see among the detritus and just that little bit more immersive.
Version 1.3:
Edited the gables so that they fit the mesh better. Also gave the spout end a more appropriate texture. Base edited to better fit with the conventions of the era.
I also added an easter egg, but you'll have to check the screenshots in order to see it. ^.=.^
Optional:
As a requested optional file, I've added a Silver Shroud themed orange juice retexture.
