Also, just diving into the mod I saw something amazing. Do you see this artwork that you included

I'm pretty sure you know this, but for those that don't, this art style is called a Nagel Woman. Nagel women were artworks painted by the late visionary Patrick Nagel , and were an 80s icon! You see them, or at least you used to, in nail salons all throughout America, and no doubt also in asian countries as well. The Nagel women were extremely popular, and were a symbol of beauty, perfection, and trend setting. These women often looked the same, with the same brow, mouth, pale skin, and eye staring fiercely at the viewer. Patrick Nagel also commissioned some of his Nagel women work in Playboy as well (and were more NSFW). He was a very influential and 80s icon, and the well known band Duran Duran, had their Album Rio use one of Patrick Nagel's works as the cover

Patrick Nagel was one of the first artists to ever combine both marketing and art at the same time, he even combined art, fashion, and marketing all in one. Yeah sure people knew what the 80s sounded like, but what did that aesthetic look like? Well during the 80s people really didn't have that foresight, but Patrick Nagel's works helped solidify what that aesthetic might look like, with his sharp and crisp imagery. Also at the time art and corporate settings tended to not mesh well together, however Patrick broke that divide, and marketing firms were able to learn from his works and style to be able to combine both fashion and corporate settings, which is where his works ended up in beauty salons all across the country. Listen to an 80s song. Hear how it sounds? Now look at a Patrick Nagel artwork. Now you can visualize what it's aesthetic looked like. You may even be able to understand what if feels like now. All 80s music has this visuality to them in both the colors and style.
Now a'days however, his works might tend to be associated with perfectionism, stereotypes, and may be considered more dystopian than anything, as even beauty salons don't use them as much as they used to, but that might be because they're valuable, lol They fit the theme of a post apocalypse more than people realize thanks to this, but in any case, as an artist, I love the fact that your vaporwave mod included this in it. I tried my hat at painting some of my artworks in his style, however I think my narcissism makes me feel like I'm not painting them accurately enough, eheh. Hopefully people liked this short art history lesson. ^~^
I have a character named Mirage for a setting. She's 'the perfect woman', stylish, talented (a photographer), psionically powerful, with a large equally perfect family. You guess why she's named and looks just like that :D
There was a Animated 80's synthwave style show a few years ago that used nigel woman as characters called Moonbeam city OIP.VLeCvrrtx4NyA9eNNJeg9AHaFs (474×364) (bing.com) Shame it was canceled I loved it.
I never heard of that show before. Does it still run? Also my only complaint about the mod here, is that it's a bit too dark for taking screenshots

I had to like increase the contrast and brightness way up via photoshoot mod, and it makes things washed out. perhaps a more eventoned lighting version can be made in the future?
I did type that it was canceled so nope it has not been on tv for years but can still be watched on pirate sites like bflix or putlocker the only reason I watch them on there is because I could not find them anywhere else to watch them that is not a pirate site like netflix sadly.
Epilepsey warning, If you remove this mod dont forget to remove the essientall fixes that goes with it, I dumbly loaded into the cell after forgetting that(dont ask me why it was dumb and I was trying to find a ghost esp that was causing me trouble and was confused why the entrance still existed in game) Anyways if you load into the cell if can be really trippy with lights and stuff, Great mod though btw load order is just too big, Def will come back to it though
Agree. I ... often delete the garbage outside the area of Abernathy, this would probably cause issues. I really want to try this mod, but it would make far more sense to have the entrance somewhere else. Maybe even in the Glowing Sea since that's where a lot of nuclear things would have been housed?
Thanks for uploading this again. I made a Settlement Menu Manager patch for the old version of this mod that was deleted but the patch seems to work with this reuploaded version too. Thought I'd mention it if anyone is interested.
With my patch everything that the mod adds to the workshop will be in its own menu in the Furniture category.
