A Follower Friendly Personal Vault -revisited-
Description
Features a small and (in my eyes) lorefriendly player hideout with a non-respawning raider group and turrets that can be reprogrammed to work for you. The aim is to create a more realistic backstory for the existance of such a well preserved location and this will be my main goal (aside from bugfixing) for future updates. Comments and suggestions welcome and appreciated. This mod has the first hackable daisychain turrets that I know of (1 terminal gives control over several turrets). As of v3.0 you can purchase updates giving access to features like the vanilla player homes. See the featurelist for comparison.
IMPORTANT:
If you are upgrading from earlier versions please read the upgrade instructions for any possible issues
Requirements
Fallout 3
ArchiveInvalidation(Invalidated)
Upgrading
Save outside the Sewer/Vault before upgrading.
Pick up anything on the floor, beds or table in the section beyond the armory (the last section with the beds, the water and the wallcavein). Otherwise it might end up beyond the new walls.
Optional step for fomm users:
Uninstall 3.1 to remove textures/nifs now packaged in bsa file, then copy&install the new version.
Upgrading should now work automatically but if it doesn't (kitchen tv missing and rusty toilet in main bathroom):
Drop and requip the kitchen bar update if already purchased.
Drop and requip the bathroom update if already purchased.
Should you have lost the update you can noclip trough the wall near the
sewer main entrance to get access to a cabinet with all upgrades.
Taking all updates out of that cabinet will set the vault into final
condition, remove all raiders inside and cause Moira to never sell them.
Compatibility
Every version has been cleaned and is as standalone as possible.
I recommend loading this mod early using Fallout mod manager

Works with FOOK, MMM, XFO ...
and anything else really that does not block the entrypoints in the wasteland worldspace.
No standard fallout 3 objects are replaced by this mod.
If a containers appears to be missing after upgrading v3yy->v3xx then it was moved to a different position in the same cell or in case of the ruined nuka cola machine because of the pristine nuka cola upgrade.
