Discover the backstory behind a forgotten Goodsprings relic and maybe even move into the historically Caffeine-fueled hideout. With plenty of secrets to discover in this densely packed and highly detailed player-house it's sure to be one of the more unique wasteland locations you'll come across.
This is my first Fallout: New Vegas Mod so I'm fairly excited for everyone to try it out. I've spent hundreds of hours getting it just right, producing screenshots, writing a tangible backstory, dealing with issues in the Geck and bothering the poor people of the Nexus Mods Discord with my questions!
If you decide to try this mod I'd like to thank you for doing so! If enjoyed it - maybe leave an endorsement and check out my other mods (Skyrim SE) on the Nexus.
So why make a Coffee House in New Vegas?
I have two main reasons (other than why not?)
I worked as a barista during my university time and I've always been a massive Fallout fan. One of the things about New Vegas that always bothered me was the lack of coffee shops In the wasteland, so I set out to fix that.
My second motive for making this mod was the lack of quality early game player housing - the only thing that really comes close is Victor's Shack and well - it's not all that interesting or engaging.
So with a lot of free quarantine time, plenty of caffeine and a fresh install of New-Vegas I set out to imagine what a post apocalyptic coffee shop could look like. Even better - one you could call home.
Still not convinced? Check out my walkthrough in the next section!
Maybe a video for a mod like this seems a tad overkill, but as of 2020 the world is tending towards fallout anyway and I have lots of spare time. This video will hopefully give you an idea of the intended vision I had for this player homes atmosphere and help you decide if you wan't to install it for your next New Vegas playthrough.
