🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's an older mod, make sure you have Fallout 3's ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated or a mod manager that handles it, or textures might not load.
Place this mod early in your load order to avoid conflicts with other world-editing mods near Rivet City.
If you use FOSE or other script extenders, test the vault doors after installing to ensure they work.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust: 17,380 endorsements and 444k downloads — this is a proven player home.
- All-in-one convenience: armory, displays, and sorters mean you can ditch your cluttered Megaton shack.
- Companion ready — your crew can actually live there with you, which is rare for older FO3 homes.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2010 — likely no patches for modern mod setups or DLC compatibility issues.
- No install instructions or dependency notes in the description, so you're on your own for load order.
- Location near Rivet City might be out of the way if you fast-travel a lot, especially early game.
