Were you excited to get the key to a Safehouse, only to realize that it was missing some essential piece of equipment?  The Legion safehouse has no crafting or reloading bench.  NCR, Followers and BOS safehouses have no campfires, NCR is missing a workbench and Followers has no reloading bench.
With this mod, every safehouse has all the essentials and feels a bit more like home, all without changing the overall feel or layout.

If the safehouses ever seemed to small, be sure to grab the expanded version.

Description:

This mod adds workbenches, reloading benches and camp fires (or working ovens) to any of the safehouses that were missing them.  Now every safehouse has all the crafting essentials.  The mod also adds miscellaneous containers including, but no limited to, metal boxes, toolboxes and ammo boxes, so that each safehouse has a greater number of storage options.  The ovens can be used as containers too if you sneak while activating them.  The overall layout of the safehouses remains untouched.

The expanded version includes the same features, but also reworks the layouts of the safhouses to give the player more room and storage.  Also added are bathrooms which were, for some reason, missing from the vanilla safehouses.

Both versions include complete navmeshes adjusted to fit the new additions.  The Expanded versions don't have the bathrooms navmeshed to avoid NPCs walking in on you.

Please note, the refrigerators in the Followers Safehouse in both versions retain their respawning properties.  The fridges in other safehouses do not respawn.

WARNING! When uninstalling this mod, be sure to remove items you placed in any safehouse containers as they will most likely be lost.  Although you can safely install this mod, or upgrade to the expanded version without losing any items, it's still a good idea to make a backup save just in case.

Questions, Bugs, Problems, Help and Info:

Yes, I know that the expanded NCR safehouse is barely expanded at all.  The interior is a single mesh, so even to just add the bathroom I had to make a custom mesh for it.  To do any more would have been a pain, so I've left it at that.

This mod was cleaned with FNVEdit 3.1.1
