About this mod

A new building in Dupont East - an abandoned pet supply store that holds a small secret... TTW required.

Hello everybody! This is a tiny, tiny mod for TTW is a conversion of this mod that adds an abandoned pet supply store which holds a small secret. It is fully navmeshed, has been cleaned with FNVEDIT, and needless to say, requires Tale of Two Wastelands and all DLC for FNV.


= WHAT =
Bau! Pet Supplies, a Pre-War pet shop, still has some leftover clutter from its glorious years. The door at the back was left locked; what could be inside? It is up to you to find out how the store came to be, and what happened to the previous owners.

Now, I know I didn't include any images of what is behind the door, since I was hoping it would be sort of a surprise to anybody who decides to download the file, but I made an album where you can see the rest of the building if you absolutely must see it before you download. Still, I think it's better to have it be a surprise.

All the containers in the place are safe for storage, and the area is fully navmeshed for your companions, although there are no idle markers. There is also a map marker for easy access, although you will have to visit before you can fast-travel.
 
As usual, I WILL NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES. I will not add to it or subtract from it. The mod is offered as-is.


= WHERE =
The picturesque Dupont East area, across the street from Lady Frumperton's Fashions.


= TTW CHANGES =
- Removed Identical to Master errors.
- General note cleanup, correcting typos and the like.
- All consumables have been made compatible with Hardcore mode.
- Massive redecorating of the area behind the locked door - new furniture, tweaked lighting, and moar.
- Swapped some old models/low-res textures with new, improved versions.
- Certain static objects can now be taken.
- All new items have Pipboy icons.
- Former pickup-able notes have been turned into message activators to avoid cluttering up the Pipboy.
- Bed will give the well-rested perk.
- Tons of new clutter and decorations!
- Probably more changes but I did so much stuff that I probably forgot...


= NOTES AND COMPATIBLITY =
Hopefully there will be no conflicts about the location; DCInteriors does not change the area, as far as I know.

There are many items placed in this new cell, so old computer may struggle a bit. Sorry.


= HOW =
To install, extract the contents of your downloaded file to your "Steam/SteamApps/Common/Fallout New Vegas/Data" folder. Then activate the mod through your preferred launcher by ticking the checkbox next to the esp. Or you can use your mod manager of choice to download the mod automatically. To uninstall, simply delete the files from your Data folder, and you're good to go. Have fun!


= WHY =
Bau! Pet Supplies was born of the fact that I've always wanted to have my own pet supply store, so I figured I could at least make a virtual one.

If you mean the conversion, this has always been one of my all-time favorite mods I've ever made back when I was just starting out, and I missed it in TTW. So I took it upon myself to convert it. It was funny to see how basic the mod was at the beginning (not a single script in sight!) and the rookie mistakes I made back in the day (those carpets perfectly aligned at 90°, gah!) but the place has always given me such a cozy feeling... It just needed some love and polish, that's all! *pats nooby Jokerine's silly head*


= FAQ =
- I hate [thing] and [thing] and [thing]! You should have done [thing] and [thing] instead! And while you're at it remove [thing] and [thing] and add [thing] and [thing]! And [thing] is NOT LORE FRIENDLY! FIX THIS!
- This isn't a restaurant. If you don't like something, use the console to disable it, remove it with the GECK or FO3EDIT, or sell it off. I am done with the mod and won't be making any changes. In other words...

- The new textures are too low res and ugly! I cannot stand this!
- I downscaled a lot of textures to help reduce the file size, but when it comes to upscaling textures, I am at a loss because I am no good at texturing, so what you see is what you get. In other words...

- I'm lagging all over the place! Help!
- I tested this mod on a heavily modded setup, on a mid-range gaming laptop. The area is a bit demanding because of all the clutter, but it shouldn't be too bad. If you're playing on a coal-powered machine, you will definitively have some performance loss. Feel free to open the mod in the GECK and remove some decor if you want.

- I hate stuff being static! I wanna pick things up!
- I don't like knocking things around all the time, and Fallout 3 has plenty of clutter everywhere already. In other words...

- Is this compatible with [mod]?
- Dunno. I have no idea if there are other TTW mods that put stuff here. If you find any conflicts, please let me know so I can list them here.

- How come the mod looks different in my game than your screenshots?
- I am using several retextures in my own game, SweetFX and Cow Food - or - Yet Another Grass Mod, so results may vary.

- The mod is awful/glitchy/buggy/etc. I am going to uninstall it and I must let everybody know!
- Sad to see you go~

- The mod sucks!
- So does a vaccuum cleaner
