About this mod

Companion-friendly Player Home and Saloon

Permissions and credits
Description

Homestead is a small settlement and player home in the northern end of the Mojave Wasteland, just to the north of Vault 22. Apart from a cozy player house, Homestead features gratuitous container storage, an armory, Saloon, some settlers and a resident scavenger. This mod is more or less lore friendly and has no god-items or generally any balance tipping features aside from the home itself being free.

NOTE: In the pictures of the armory you'll notice that it's full of weapons. These are just for show, to maintain balance, I made broken/ruined variants of in-game weapons.

Features:

-Fully companion friendly
-Optional plugin to send companions to homestead instead of Lucky38
-Tons of organized storage
-Nuka Quantum stocked Vintage Refrigerator
-Crafting Oven
-Light-switches for all areas of the home
-My First Laboratory
-My First Infirmary
-Trophy Room with display cases and hooked walls
-Armory with organized storage for weapons, armor, ammo and other components
-Workshop with reloading bench and work bench
-Empty-able dumpster for disposing of unwanted junk
-Saloon with bartender and residents
-Resident wasteland scavenger
-Local guards and defense turrets defending the grounds and a Mr. Gutsy in the armory

Updates:

Version 1dot2 - Removed nearby Cazadors, fixed texture paths on Couch. Fixed doors clipping into clutter.

Version 1dot3 - Raised levels on local settlers, added Turrets to edge of settlement. Mr. Gutsy in Armory is now stationary. Fixed Gate in armory. Dumpster outside Saloon now has an emptier switch on it. Fixed some pathing issues.

Version 1dot4 - Added Trophy Shack with display cases and hooked walls. Fixed npc sandbox issues, moved bartender closer to counter, fixed exterior lights. All windows now glow at night. Added optional plugin which changes default companion home from Lucky38 to Homestead. Trophy room contains some classic weapons from FO3 that were unused in the data files. Misc. fixes.

Known Bugs to be fixed

- As of 1.4 there is a glitch with the companion dialog when you ask them to return to Lucky38 (or homestead if you use the optional plugin). The player responses are bugged, but the actual dialog still works.
- The hooked walls in the trophy room for hanging weapons can be a bit finicky. I re-did the collision on the walls so that it would be easier to get stuff hanging, but it's frankly a hard thing to do in Fallout.
- 2 of the cupboards in the kitchen are a bit tricky to activate.

Installation

1. Extract the contents of the .rar package to your Fallout New Vegas/Data directory.
2. In the game's launcher, select 'Data Files' and check either NVHomestead.esp or NVHomesteadCompanionEdit.esp.

(NVHomesteadCompanionEdit.esp changes the home location for companions from Lucky38 to Homestead).

A map marker will be automatically added to your world map.

Uninstalling

1. In your Fallout New Vegas/Data directory, delete NVHomestead.esp
2. Delete your Fallout New Vegas/Data/Meshes/Cire992 folder
3. Delete your Fallout New Vegas/Data/textures/Cire992 folder

Note: If you use any of my other mods, you may need to re-install them after following the steps above.

Recommendations

Companion Sandbox Mode - http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34955

Works great with Homestead, the entire settlement and home are highly interactive for NPCs.
