So I want to add some named containers to my megaton home, which is easy enough but when i put a "METAL BOX" on the floor, and rename it say "pistols crate" and then set weapons to be inside it, every "METAL BOX" in the whole game is named pistols crate and now has all these weapons inside it, how can i just make specifics for 1 metal box?

Thank you in advance and i apologize if this was posted in the wrong place.

you have to create a new id when you edit the metal box
just change the id and when you hit ok it will ask you a question, do you want to create a new one, say yes

The basic tutorials cover this. You should go through them so you know how to use the GECK.

Thank you, this is exactly what i was looking for! Much appreciated!
