About this mod
The housing, farming, and brahmin herding functionality from Mojave Survival, without the other Survival mechanics.

This mod is a port of the player housing, farming, and brahmin herding functionality from Mojave Survival, with some functionality tweaked to make sense outside the context of a survival game.
Player Housing
There are (5) five available player properties/farms across the Mojave. Players can purchase property from Bishop at Mojave Realty in Freeside, behind the Old Mormon Fort. These properties include shared storage between them, so there is a strong benefit to having multiple properties. Properties have from 6 - 24 farming crop slots, and vary in amenities.
You can send your companions to any of your owned properties, however, be mindful that the Novac shack is somewhat close to a Legion camp. It's possible Boone could wind up in a fight there.
You can also keep Brahmin at any location, although you will incur a reputation ding if you keep them in Freeside.
Housing Options:
Farming
Farming in this mod is slightly different than in Mojave Survival, since the crops are not used for high-end crafting. Instead, the crops you harvest are worth much more caps than the normal type of fruit/plant. So there is profit to be made in farming. Each player property has a farm area with a number of crop-planting slots (ranging from 6 to 24 depending on the property). You can plant the following (you must have a specimen in your inventory):
Each property also has a Water Reservoir and Fertilizer Storage. You must keep these replenished for your crops to grow.
Every day (except the first day a crop is planted) your crops will check the Water and Fertilizer to ensure some amount exists. It will then perform a growth dice roll dependent on your Luck and Survival skill. If an individual plant succeeds in this check, it will perform two other dice rolls to determine if it consumes fertilizer and/or water. These dice rolls are much more forgiving than in Mojave Survival; your crops will consume far less water and fertilizer.
You can use dirty water or purified water; however, plants will consume twice as much dirty water as purified water.
There is also an in-game manual called the Wasteland Farming Guide which you can reference.
Unlike in Mojave Survival, Brahmin dung cannot generally be found around the wasteland. You'll have to purchase Brahmin. Fertilizer can be crafted from Brahmin dung with either your Survival or Science skill.
NOTE: You can also collect water from sinks with this mod. Each source has a maximum daily ration of 20, and you can collect water with any empty bottle. All player houses come with clean water sources.
Brahmin Herding
You can purchase Brahmin from Wild Bill Brahmin just south of the 188 Trading Post. They are 800 caps per animal and you must have a player property to purchase them.
After purchase, you will receive a quest to deliver the Brahmin to your selected property. The Brahmin will follow you to your destination. Once you arrive, as long as at least one Brahmin is still alive, the quest will complete, or otherwise fail.
NOTE: You cannot fast-travel while delivering Brahmin.
Once you have delivered your Brahmin, they become attached to your property and will graze the area. Each Brahmin will produce (1) one Brahmin Dung unit per day, which will appear in your property's Brahmin Pile.
Your stock Brahmin can also be milked. Each Brahmin can be milked (5) five times per cell reset.
After delivering the Brahmin, you can activate it and tell it to follow you, which you can use to move the Brahmin around the property or to a different property.
TIP: Brahmin have a tendency to wander and graze out a little further each day. So if a Brahmin starts to get too far away from your property, you may need to move it. Tell it to "Stay Put" where you want it to graze.
There is no hard limit on the number of Brahmin you can keep at a property. But the game engine does not handle tons of NPCs grouped together well. I'd recommend no more than around 20 Brahmin at a single property. More than that and you could see decreased performance in the area.
TIP: Fertilizer is much more valuable than in Mojave Survival, so you can make a nice profit from selling your crafted Fertilizer.
