Labeled Containers
INFORMATION
This mod adds a selection of containers that will separate and organize the items you’ve been collecting into appropriate categories. Some containers have new textures, some are static objects that I’ve made into containers. My intention was to make the containers visually indicate what they contain, for instance, the “Armor – Leather” container looks like a leather box and the “Weapons – Laser” follows similar design aesthetics of the Laser Weapons.
The Water Cooler is an example of something that worked, this mod adds the water cooler, makes it a container for “Water”, and retextures it so that it retains the post-war appearance without the broken water jug, which wouldn’t make sense. The “Nuka-Cola” machine is an example of a container I hope to improve. I tried to update the nif with new items, adding the bottles of Nuka-Cola inside the door, but nothing I did worked in-game. Once I figure out how to do this, I plan to update these containers.
Some examples of new containers:
Alcohol
Apparel – Commonwealth
Apparel – Faction
Apparel – Prewar
Armor – Combat
Armor – Metal
Armor – Raider
Armor – Synth
Food – Pre-War
Nuka-Cola
Modifications
Holotapes
Water
Weapons – Rifles
This is just a small selection of the thirty-ish containers in this mod as of v1.0. On that note, I hope my solution is preferred by many of you as well and I welcome feedback and comments on what you would like to see in the future, container types, etc.
COMPATIBILITY
This mod was made to require Settlement Keywords, as I felt that should be the standard, and I also felt like separating my containers from the others. To that end, these new containers will be in the “Large Containers” category, not the “Containers”. This new category was unused in my game and the other category was really bloated by other mods…
INSTALLATION
I recommend downloading through NMM, this is a single esp file, and NMM will make the installation simple. If you download mods manually, place the esp file in the “Data” folder of the Fallout 4 directory.
FUTURE GOALS
-Make static items animated like containers
-New skins
-New nif files for custom containers
-Expand selection
