*UPDATED* Was forced to abort this project just when i got started with it almost a year ago. Started playing Fallout again i little while ago and decided to continue working on my beloved vault. Really happy with the new features and fixes i did with this update. Hope you will enjoy it as much as i am. Cheers! *UPDATED*

*Vault 172, Version 1.0 - Updated 2010-08-12*

=========================================================================

Mod Presentation:
This mod will be the only housing you will ever need in the unforgiving wilderness.
The entrance to the new vault is places outside of Megaton (west) next to the gas station in Springvale.

About the mod and why it exists:
I made the Vault primarily for myself but i think more might find this of use so i decided to release it to the public.
Its rather large, but i did my best to still keep a personal and "cozy" feeling to it, using much lighting and nice decorating (at least i think so).
The Vault is cluttered with as little "out in the game" items as possible. Since i myself like to explore out in the game and bring stuff home as trophys and so on.
The Vault might be heavy on your system so if you cant run it don't be to pissed I am working on a lighter version.

And again, this Vault is not filled with stuff like weapons etc. Like i said since i did this for myself and i like to find my stuff out in the world through progress and not in a vault filled with everything. I'm a collector
Just to clear out what you get with this mod... its very cozy though. And even better when you filled it out with your favorite findings.


=========================================================================

Requirements:
All DLC packs have been used in this mod, sorry if you don't have them (you really should get them).

Installation:
Just extract the content into your Data folder in your Fallout 3 install directory, use FOMM or another app to do the Archive Invalidation procedure.
Google it, there is loads of tutorials on this.
The Texture and Meshes folders are for custom textures on the vault doors (its not replacing anything in your vanilla game), the aquarium and the mannequins.

Uninstallation:
Just remove the Vault172R.esp and the texture files and mesh files belonging to this mod. Check the .rar if you forgot wich ones it is.

Conflicts:
None known yet.

=========================================================================

Bug List:
-Generator switch dont light of sometimes (nothing mayor, just activate it a second time and it will work)
-Some objects fade in when activated with switches
-Probably something more i haven't found yet.


ToDO List:
-Add more Mannequins and a bigger Mannequin section.
-Fix individual light switches for the Mannequin displays.
-Add more routines for the companions, so they eat etc like they do in RR-Companions vault.
-Add dialogue to the companions.
-Add a Garbage Can.
-Add a "settings room" with switches for different layouts in the vault and to remove the needs of DLCs (objects used by DLC packs is removed and replaced with vanilla items
depending on what DLCs you have)
-Fix Fade in of some objects when using activators (switches)
-Add some ambient sounds to certain areas.
-Add a generator startup sound.
-Continue to decorate and add usability to the vault.
-Add a working enemy spawn computer to the shooting range (it doesnt work quite as intended yet).
-Further enhance the vault Wastland entrance.
-Wasteland Warroom (Tip from "lichlord9333")
-Lots of more...


=========================================================================

Your Part:
Now this mod is really open for ideas, i tried to think of cool things to add etc but i simply ran out of ideas so if you have any suggestions, found any bugs or strange events in
the vault please let me know in the comment section, i will read it and i will keep working on this vault.
So any ideas really that add useability to you the players (and me ofc.) or design ideas etc.
