Greetings, I am a new to GECK modding, so you may consider it my first mod.

 

I was disappointed by an apartment you get in Atomic Wrangler after you kill/pretend to kill a man who stole caps from the A.W. owners.

 

Now I know that it's just supposed to be a room, but I like homes you have to "earn" and I like new homes and detailed interiors.

 

So I've decided to unite all 3 goods and make a mod out of it: Atomic Wrangler Apartment Refurnished (A.W.A.R.).

I hope nobody works on this one, and many people work on other interiors, so we may be able to assemble a set of N.V. improved interiors as a single mod some day.

 

The work moves slowly because I don't know many controls (i.e. how to snap to other objects) because I know they were in TES CS but I forgot how to use them :P.

 

 

Right now I've added a workshop/kitchen area with 2 benches, a few lockers and an oven-campfire, added a sleeping room, turned the main room into a dining room with places to sit (so your companions may sit with a mod which makes them to idle around rather than stand at one place once they are told to "wait") and a bathroom/toilet area.

 

Now I work little details like adding toys and objects to existing places. I've added a fire extinguisher (pretty important for an apartment) and a couple of toys.

 

 

 

Here comes the "suggest/answer" section:

1) I want to take a big "train" model and make it a "toy train" on a table (you don't pick it up, just look). Is it a bad idea because of the train's polycount, or is it okay to scale it?

2) I use FVNEdit to "clean" my esp when I occasionally edit some object I don't want to edit. Is there a way to remove "edited" status from some object within the G.E.C.K.?

3) What is the best way to add a World Map travel market to the Atomic Wrangler? Just add one on the street? Are there some possible problems I should be aware of?

4) Is it okay to allow world map travel from within the apartment? Is it too gamey for your taste? I find it pretty useful if you intend to use fast travel. For me it's either no fast travel or as much as possible depending on my mood. Your thoughts?

 

Thank you in advance. I will post pictures once I made the place better. And yeah, I forgot to say that I removed garbage and "repaired" broken lights :).

Here's the current layout of the area:

 

 

It needs more furniture to look "real", and a lot of minor objects, but those are easier to add than to assemble the whole cell "manually". I almost went crazy removing all the seams :D.

As much as I hate bumping my own topics, I would really like some answers to my questions :). Thanks.

I have a problem: New Vegas freeside appears to be a different worldspace or something... Anyway, if I place a "world marker" next to Atomic Wrangler entrance (and mark "can travel to") it doesn't appear on the world map. Is there a way to bypass this?

Cool, I'm downloading now!
