Note: If updating the Sorting Overhaul to version 1.3 from an earlier, please read the instructions in the Sticky Post.

All mods require NVSE and the Underwater Hideout mod!

This is a compilation of addons I've made for the popular Underwater Hideout (Home) mod, which is quite possibly the best available house mod for New Vegas, along with the Underground Hideout mod.  This a series of stand-alone mods aimed at making the already sublime Underwater Hideout into the best damn place in the Mojave.  This primarily involves fixing bugs and adding functionality from some other outstanding mods.

With an exception of the "Sorting Overhaul" mod, all of these require you to install other mods. Please pay attention to the requirements in each description.  More detailed information can be found in the readme files included with each mod.



Sorting Overhaul

This mod contains many rewrites/optimizations of the Underwater Hideout's sorting scripts. This isn't so much to change the design but to make everything function as it was intended.  There are three main areas this mod addresses.  1. Loadout Fix: Prevents resetting of the Equipment Loadout, letting you define which items you don't want auto-sorted.  2. HARES Mainframe - Sort All Items: Rewrites & fixes the "Sort All" scripts, making them fully functional and less obtrusive.  3. Master Terminal - Sorter Interface: Rewrites & fixes the Category Sort scripts, adds additional categories, making all items sortable.

Willow, Make Me a Sammich!
Requires Willow - A Better Companion Experience

This mod allows popular companion Willow cook meals for you on the Underwater Hideout's stove.  Improvements are made over the original mod's campfire scripts: more recipes are available, some ingredients can be substituted (brahmin steak for brahmin meat), meals are chosen randomly based on all available ingredients, and she can pull ingredients either from her own inventory or from any of the auto-sorted containers throughout the  Underwater Hideout.  Simply activate the stove and ask Willow to cook you something.  Great for Hardcore mode!  Also adds Willow's unique food items to the hideout's auto-sort system. More info in the readme.


Usable Toilets, Bath and Shower
Requires Useable Toilets
Recommended: Improved Companion SandBox

This mod Adds "Useable Toilets" (mod) functionality to the Underwater Hideout's existing toilet, bath and shower. This lets you and your companions really use these in an immersive way, and goes great with a Hardcore game, as you (optionally) need to bathe and use the restroom regularly just like you have to eat and drink.  This isn't a direct conversion, though, many enhancements have been made, and several bugs have been fixed.

The Toilet: When you or one of your companions sits on it, it strips off your main clothing/armor and you do your business (press fire button to drop a deuce). Your clothing is re-equipped when you're done.

The Shower: When you and/or one (or more!) of your companions enter the shower area, your equipment (everything but Pipboy) is automatically stripped. When you turn on the water, if you have Abraxo Cleaner you start getting clean (your dirt stat continuously drops). You will be notified when you are completely clean.  When you exit the shower area, your clothing will be re-equipped. Having shampoo will give you a temporary bonus. 

The Bath: Like the shower, when you and/or one (or more!) of your companions enter the water, your equipment (except Pipboy and some headgear) is automatically stripped, and if you have Abraxo Cleaner you start getting clean (your dirt stat continuously drops). You will be notified when you are completely clean.  When you exit the water, your clothing will be re-equipped.  This will work on you and all of your companions simultaneously - as many as you can fit in the bath! Having shampoo will give you a temporary bonus, and an even better bonus if you also have bath beads.  Don't be surprised if your companions join you when you bathe; we're all good friends here. :)

NOTE: This mod, in and of itself, DOES NOT contain nudity or adult content. It strips your equipment. If using vanilla New Vegas, characters will be in their underwear. You need a nude body replacer for there to be nudity.

Wave Radio for Underwater Hideout
Requires Wave Radio

This mod will add Wave Radio to the Underwater Hideout's radio system. Wave Radio is one of the best Radio mods available for New Vegas, with a much larger lore-friendly playlist than the vanilla radio stations. Additionally, this mod provides a fix for the Underwater Hideout's radio system.  If you're not hearing music (especially New Vegas Radio) in any of the hideout's rooms, go to the Master Terminal in the Main Hall of the Underwater Hideout and select the "Radio Fix" command, then follow the instructions (very easy). More info in the readme.


Bottle That Water
Requires Bottle That Water

LFox's "Bottle That Water" mod adds new Empty Watter Bottles and Canteens to the game, which can be filled at various water sources.  The "Underwater Hideout" mod uses special sinks that can't be used to fill this bottles.  This mod fixes that. Now, when you take a sip of water at a sink, all of your Empty Water Bottles and your Canteen will be filled with clean water.  Also, the Empty Water Bottles have been added to the Underwater Hideout's Sort Lists, so when you Auto Sort items, your Empty Water Bottles will end up in the Miscellaneous Items Chest.  More info in the readme.


CHEMS
Requires CHEMS

A simple mod that replaces the Chemistry Set in the Underwater Hideout's Laboratory with a CHEMS version, which lets you craft various chems. You MUST have the CHEMS mod installed for this to do anything. This feature used to be part of the Underwater Hideout... not sure what happened.


See You - Time For Bed Add-on (fixed)
Requires See You - Time for Bed NV

sesom's "See you - Time for Bed NV" mod lets you watch your character sleep (3rd person view), with a few twists.  The "Underwater Hideout" mod includes a compatibility Add-on, which lets you activate this special sleep mode from the main bed.  There is a problem, though, there is a bug in the original mod that sometimes causes random encounters while sleeping, even when you explicitly tell it not to.  I don't mind being attacked or mugged if I'm sleeping in an alley in Freeport, but home invasions are not something I appreciate in my Underwater Hideout. I mean, what's the point of those turrets if they can't even keep a burglar out?  Anyway, I had to modify multiple scripts. I'm pretty sure it's completely fixed now, but this was a very complicated issue to fix, so let me know if you still have any issues.  Bonus: it fixes this issue for all player-owned beds, not just the one in the Underwater Hideout.

NOTE: You use this INSTEAD of the add-on that comes with the Underwater Hideout.  Either don't install that one, or overwrite it with this one.

Installation
This easiest way is to just let the Nexus Mod Manager install it for you. Select "Download With Manager" for each add-on you want, and then activate it from NMM.

Instructions for manual installation are included with each mod, though it basically amounts to copying the files to your Fallout New Vegas Data folder and activating the ESP's from your loader. Everything must come after the mods they depend on in your load order.  Also, it's a good idea to save your game OUTSIDE of the Underwater Hideout before installing these.

If your game crashes before you even load your save file, it is because you are missing a required file. Please check the requirements for each mod.
