Special thanks to:
- Those helping me test this and reporting problems and giving suggestions (for both our use) ;)
- Those who have endorsed this mod and voted it File of the Month. It's nice to see other people like it too :)

Notice:
- Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) is highly recommended for installing this mod. Alternatively, Fallout Mod Manager can be used (FOMM)
- There is currently no way to upgrade from previous beta versions to 1.0 final. I recommend that you remove all previous MyMansion files before installing the new version.
- There are no Vertibird Locations, Virtual Reality Sims, or major Theme changes yet. I simply don't have the time on top of what's already going on. If only I didn't need to eat or sleep ;)
- If you're having problems (things like "" everywhere and/or discolored heads), please read the FAQ below first before asking me ;)
- Fallout 3 v1.0 does NOT support custom .bsa archives like the ones included with this mod, you will get "" unless the bsa's are manually unpacked. Make sure you are using the 1.7 patch (newest). That is what I used when I made this mod. A ridiculous amount of bugs have been fixed since 1.0. I do NOT support Fallout versions prior to 1.7. Patch your game before you even think about asking me for help. If you don't know which version of Fallout you have, right-click the main Fallout3.exe and select: Properties ->Details ->File version.
- If you experience any problems not mentioned in the FAQ, please contact me with detailed information (the more details the better). I honestly can't help you if your response is anything like "it doesn't work" and nothing else.
- 80/160 NPC's is A LOT! If you get them all chasing/following you and your game doesn't crash, consider yourself lucky. You've been warned. ;)
- If you are running a "performance mod" like "Better Game Performance" that deletes vanilla forms and you are having problems, try playing without that mod running and see if that corrects the issue (try the 4GB patch and/or the FOSE stutter remover instead). Although that should not really be a problem anymore, it is unwise to run mods that deletes forms. Thanks to iod1997, freddy_farnsworth, PKfalloutPK for finding and confirming.

- I am currently looking into porting this mod to New Vegas - which I will do if it is allowed (currently awaiting clarification). Please DO NOT port this version and upload any of it to New Vegas Nexus at this time. I know exactly what needs to be done - don't waste your time. If it is allowed, I will port it and then you can have at it. ;)

- I will try to add some more optional plugins when I get the chance.

Description:
----------------------------------------------------------------

This mod adds a large player mansion home with lots of elbow room, containers, clean water and people willing to trade with you at any time. The mansion is located in a new worldspace that is located in the Wasteland but beyond the boundaries. Every area added by the mod is "livable", meaning that the containers never reset. The Suite offers the most luxurious accommodations, but you can also live anywhere else on the grounds - like near a pond, or in a shack, or underground in a sewer, or in a cave, etc. The Mansion Suite and the Shack are the primary locations, both with nearly all of the same features.

The mod is now more lore friendly by default. Nearly everything added by this mod is in the game already. It's just grouped together rather than spread apart. Take "Dukov's Place" which has people walking around in sleepwear, now take "Tenpenny Tower" that is very luxurious and full of rich people people and finally take "Oasis" which is filled with grass, foliage, trees and combine them together. Say some people from each of these places left and grouped together into new place. Create a mental image of what that place would look like considering their resources. Now, compare that image to this mod. ;)

PS: The Mansion world was supposed to be near Oasis, but I had my North and South mixed up early on and didn't realize it until much later when I finally connected it to the Wasteland. Fill in any blanks as you see fit - like a book. :P

To summarize it into a single sentence: This is what you would get if you combined Dukov's place with Oasis on Tenpenny's budget.

This is my first mod for the GameBryo engine. Because of that, I am kind of trying to "push the envelope" a bit to find the boundaries and limitations - which should help explain the size and scope of this mod. That info helps me "plan things out" a bit more beforehand the next time I mod for that engine.

Important Terminals:
* NPC/ Lore Friendly Control: Located in the NE corner room of the Basement, this terminal controls many aspects of the NPC's behavior and has the Lore Friendly switch.
* Resident Inventory: Located throughout the area and allow you to access any NPC from each terminal. You can also perform actions like "Remove All" on all the NPC's at once.
* Exterior Mansion/Shack: These are attached to the exterior of the building and allow you to change the lighting and mood of the interiors. The mansion has exterior light controls and a optional Vertibird pad.
* Item Sorter: Located throughout the area, these provide a way to quickly remove items from your inventory and place them into specific container of your choosing (Req. FOSE).

I highly recommend a "Sprint" mod and/or a "Run Faster" mod like "Run Faster: RunFaster125percent" if you feel like it takes too long to get around the place. They make a world of difference.
Sprint Mod: http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/1854
Run Faster: http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/7618

If you're looking for performance, you can try these mods which were mentioned above (Don't use mods that delete vanilla forms: See Notes):
Large Address Aware Enabler (4GB Patch): http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/6510
Fallout Stutter Remover: http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/8886

This mod adds a new radio station doesn't require any optional plugins, but it has a bit of a lengthy readme and quite a few example files. It can also conflict with other "Radio3" (3rd station on My Mansion radios) plugins. For that reason, I have bundled all that stuff into a separate optional "Radio3" file.
In short, you just have to put 30, 60 or 90 tracks in "../Fallout 3/Data/Sound/Songs/Radio/MyMansionRadioStation/" and then enable the radio station via the terminal in the Suite or Shack and select the number of tracks you are using (PipBoy uses MP3 and world radios use MONO WAV, so 2 files per track in order to get them to work on both).
EG:
Track01.mp3
Track01_mono.wav
Track02.mp3
Track02_mono.wav
Track03.mp3
Track03_mono.wav
etc.
