Where do you like to have a player home?

[gunslinger6792]

I like to build player homes (its a bit of an addiction) and I've started playing fallout 3 again so of course I need to build for fallout 3. The problem is I don't know where people like to have their player homes so I'd love some feed back to see where and why people have their "homes" where they do. What do players like to have? Do you guys prefer big homes, small homes, well defended, lore friendly, I think you all get the idea. So please answer the poll and leave a comment. Thanks :)

I use the Megaton player home, just because I have always used it. I use RRCompanions Vault outside Megaton because it is a fantastic mod and adds an easy access to Rivet City and TenPenney Tower.

I also use Hunter's Ridge to have a home in the northeast.

I love my homes out of the way of busy spots like Megaton, Springvale and Rivet City, those places are already "overmodded" as they are, in fact I can't add all the Springvale mods I'd like to have since there are too many and are causing conflicts between them. So in the DC Ruins is fine, but there you have Solace home in the Mall Area, KOR's Vault in the L'enfant area, THe Ranger Base in Seward Sq area, GNR at GNR plaza and a few others.

 

Out of the busy areas you have the Billionaire Vault, Firefly Ranch, Hunters Ridge, and the Lakehouse at Arefu, there's a mod that adds a house in the Republic of Dave also, then there's the Spartan Ranch inbetween Springvale School and Super Duper Mart.

 

Near Rivet city you have of course the Underground Hideout, The SOL base, and some Submarine Home also, at Canterburry Commons you have the excellent Alpine Heights home so It's a pretty busy wasteland and you're going to struggle to find an unmodded spot as I only mentionned the home mods I remember or use or have used in the past myself and I'm sure there's much more out there still. If I'd have to make one I'd probably pick a spot near vault 92 or Old Olney just to be out of the way of conflicts

 

Edit: At the South side of Old Olney there's the Fort Gigaton home mod, just remembered that one, so you'd want to stay north of Old Olney lol

 

Also, I forgot to specify what homes I like most: Well defended, with npc guards or turrets, preferably both, and that are upgradeable. I prefer homes that are not free to take over but there's a quest involving to gain entrance, I need to feel rewarded when entering a home and not spoiled. Most important things I want in my homes are an armory where I can put my weapons (I really like the Underground Hideout and Alpine Heights display walls) and of course a trophy/display room to display my collection of stuff, I'm a hoarder lol

 

Edit 2:

 

Going to give my top 3 home mods for Fallout 3 to illustrate the stuff I wrote above :)

 

1) Alpine Heights: plusses: Quest, upgradeable, easter eggs, the perfect size / minusses: some things are very well hidden, in fact I didn't discover everything yet and I use this as my main home

 

2) Underground Hideout: plusses: small quest, upgradeable, easter eggs, very good layout / minusses: heavy on system ressources, especially when fully upgraded, a tad too small for my taste

 

3) My Mansion: plusses: has everything you need and more minusses: way too big, I mean you can spend days inside and still don't see everything it has got, since it's so big you can get lost easily.
