Mini Hideout Enhancements - TTW

  • Tweaks and Fixes - TTW

  • Current Version: 1.0

IMPORTANT! Because this mod makes changes to containers and other items in the Mini Hideout cell that may be save baked, it is highly recommended that it be used on a new playthrough ONLY.

This is not a standalone mod! It requires you have Cloudisms' Rayek's Mini Hideout - TTW Conversion installed.

This is a QOL feature add on for Cloudisms' great TTW conversion (v1.1) of the Mini Hideout player home for Fallout 3 by Rayek. It adds an inventory sorting system, new named containers with custom textures, Repair Tools, new way to acquire the key and more.

Mini Hideout has always been one of my favorite player home mods for any game, and I was happy to see Cloudisms make an updated and well-made conversion for TTW. The changes/additions that I've made are mostly things I wanted to do with the FO3 version, but never got around to before switching to TTW.

The lighting, ambiance and general aesthetic of the original Fallout 3 mod was retained in the Coudisms TTW conversion and I've tried to maintain all of that with this add on mod, since those elements are why I love the original so much.

Location and gaining entry :
The Mini Hideout is still in its original location of Springvale, beneath the remnants of the Red Rocket service station. The only exterior changes I've made are moving some clutter to make it less intrusive around the entrance to the player home.

I have changed how you get the key which grants you access to the Mini Hideout. The original Fallout 3 mod (and TTW conversion) places the key in a mailbox directly across the street from the Hideout location. This mod moves the key to the hollowed-out rock outside of Megaton.

Optional patch for SawyerBatty is available: adds the Expired and Homemade Stimpaks to the sorting form lists and changes the Chemistry Set to create Homemade Stimpaks.

Mod Features:

The main addition is the addition of the inventory sorting system I use in many of my other TTW player home mods. The sorting container in the entrance way will place your items into the proper named containers located around the main living/dining room of the Hideout. The list of additions and changes is as follows:

  • Moved key location to hollowed-out rock near Megaton
  • Added no-reset Encounter Zone to mod cells
  • Added inventory sorting container (main entrance)
  • New containers with custom textures
  • Combined workbench/reloading bench
  • Added Repair Tools (repair items for caps based on your Repair skills, similar to having an NPC repair them for you)
  • Changed My First Laboratory to a Chemistry Set with 3-day cooldown
  • Changed My First Infirmary mesh
  • Reworked Bobblehead display script with menu option to check for Bobbleheads already enabled at Megaton/Tenpenny houses; also enables Bobbleheads at Megaton/Tenpenny houses when they are added to display at Mini Hideout
  • Moved Nuka-Cola vending machine to hallway to make room for changes in kitchen area
  • Moved Hotplate and sink to new Kitchen counter with food/ingredient storage container
  • Restored entrance way door auto-close trigger (door closes when player leaves the cell)
  • Added trigger to stop exterior ambient music when entering cell
  • Added a small amount of clutter and a counter/table with stool
  • Moved some original clutter to accommodate new furniture/containers
  • Removed sorting function from the terminal (it didn't sort FNV/TTW items and is redundant with the sorting container being added).
  • Moved katana and display from bedroom area to Hidden Tunnel/Secret Room cell
  • Optional patch for SawyerBatty TTW available as a separate download: adds the Expired and Homemade Stimpaks to the sorting form lists and changes the Chemistry Set to create Homemade Stimpaks.
