Description
===========
The main function of this mod is to greatly expand upon the Megaton House. Currently the main house is around 3 times larger than vanilla. New default containers, more d�cor, larger bedroom, new living room, bathroom, and kitchen. To go along with the larger house themes have been greatly modified and a expanded upon. So far the PreWar, Love, and Raider Theme have been completed.

There is now also a new basement that is truly unique for my mod. The Basement can be purchased for access, the room adds a massive research center as the heart of the room decorated with Vault and Enclave computers and gadgets, like comm center, Holographic war Map, The BOS survey mapper, etc. Off this main room, one leads to you very own medical facility. Its Very well detailed down to the placement of operating tools on the trays. there is also another Lab set for good fun. The other main room is your own personnel armory overlooked by the Lincoln Memorial. The room has several lockers, and gun locker variations (Some with shelves and ammo boxes), along with tables and shelves for displaying all your armor and weapons in the open.

I have also included as a separate download texture replacements for the in-game portraits. All are based on World famous classical and Modern paintings. (School of Athens, Europe in Ruins,Sistine Chapel, Starry night, Washington Crossind the Delaware etc.

Latest Version and Future Versions
========
This is a public BETA. There will be and are bugs. I released it to allow for public testing so I can gather feedback on issues and concepts. I am currently working on a Alpha to be released to signed up Alpha testers.

Use of Room Markers and Portals to rid all performance issues, period! Full Navmesh of house for companions and mannequins. Larger and better designed basement. 100% unique containers (no respawning, custom names for organization, player owned). larger Playerbedroom and office. Guest bedrooms for companions and NPCS. Larger and more focused living room. Larger kitchen and bar area as own room. Moved upstairs larger bathroom/spa. new functional devices and npcs for the house including Bartender, medic/scientist, repairman, Equipment sorter, etc. More consistent lighting and design of clutter.
