1)DESCRIPTION

I made this mod because I wanted to have a small cosy 'one-cell' home and a base that would still be big enough for companions. I also wanted a home that would go well with the 'Companions Sandbox Mode' -mod I'm using (http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34955). This means my home is full of activity markers that companions can use with that mod: they can just sit on chairs or they can sit on floor, do pushups, lean on walls or railings, tinker the computers and workbenches and stuff like that. Of course you can use this mod without the Companions Sandbox Mode -mod, but this house is much more fun with it.

The house is situated in Goodsprings immediately north from the schoolhouse. I also added a map marker that says 'Home' so you can just travel there. The house has two floors and everything is in one cell, so there is no need to go through doors inside the house. I have navmeshed everything. There is lots of food and some weapons in the house, but they're just for decoration. Do whatever you want with them. See the pictures to find out more. The house includes all the important things:
-Bed that gives the 'well rested' -perk (upstairs)
-Workbech and reloading bench
-Campfire outside
-Clean water
-Storage space (All storage belongs to the player and should not reset itself. I have tested)

2)INSTALLATION

Note that this mod requires the latest version of the game.

Put the 'Courier's Home.esp' in the Data folder. It can be found here: Steamsteamappscommonfallout new vegasData. Then check the mod from the 'Data files'. It can be found in the game launcher.

I recommend using Fallout New Vegas Mod Manager (http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36901). My mod works without it, but it makes life easier for mod users.

I also recommend using one of these mods to get the most fun out of my house:
-Companions Sandbox Mode (http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34955)
-Companions relax (http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36754)
The difference seems to be that with the 'Companions Sandbox Mode' -mod companions don't eat and the sandboxing radius is bigger and there are more options in this mod. With the 'Companions relax' -mod companions do eat but the radius is smaller. I personally don't want my companions to eat, because then they will take items they find and add them to their inventory. That ruins my decorations :) But the choice is yours.

3)COMPATIBILITY

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH AFTERSCHOOL SPECIAL - MOD http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/43757/?

I have avoided any conflicts with other mods. This mod conflicts with anything that changes the ruined house in Goodsprings north from the schoolhouse, but as far as I know there are no such mods.

I have also tested this with the 'Sunny Smiles Companion' -mod (http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37281) and it works well with this. I guess other companion mods will work too.

There is a tiny problem with the 'Detailed normals' -mod (http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=38196). If you have istalled the optional 'taller grass' -esp, it will add lots of grass around the campfire and the house. It looks a bit silly but that's all.

*************

4)LOAD ORDER

I recommend loading this before the 'Nevada skies' -mod (http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35998). I'm not sure if my mod conflicts with it somehow and what to do about it, but it doesn't hurt.
