[Description & Minor Changes]

[what?]
This is an embiggened version of Fee510's Portable Tent mod for Fallout New Vegas. It's a bigger interior, separated areas and less cramped layout and more room to display stuff.

[why?]
Fee510's Portable Tent mod is a prime mod that has completely changed how I play FONV - but - it left me wanting ):

I need space to display things. I don't use hotel rooms and I had no place to display my spoils and the interior of the tent was a tad cramped. [this is by no means a slight to Fee510's hard work - it's totally a personal hang-up on my part]

I'll be the first to agree PTE is not realistic - but that wasn't the intent and let's face it, the original tent wasn't realistic either [unless you're using the *realistic version*] so why bother limiting things? Moving on...

PTE is all about convenience and more space with seperated areas and plenty of room to display all your stuff! Now you don't have to FT to your hotel room - you have one on your back [though it is technically still a tent].

• Separate bedroom w/Queen sized bed
• Separate crafting areas
• Separate Kitchen / living room
• Dedicated Display area
• Multiple shelves to display your spoils throughout the interior
  

[Minor Changes from the OG]

First let me preface all this by saying nothing I did makes this 'better' than the original - I made some changes for myself and some because it had to be done due the these obviousness of the mod.

Wordlspace & imagespace & cell:
The tent no longer uses the NV Exterior data - that is to say, it won't be brighter during the day and darker at night - there is just the one level, dark'ish. I did this for a few reasons - one, because I like it touch darker in there so the lights have more dramatic effect (there are more lights as well) and two, during the day it tended to look washed out and the lights had little effect. the Imagespace also got tweaked for dramatic effect as was the cell data.

Pickable Plants:
I upped the grow time for all plants from 3 to 2 days. I opted for this because it seemed reasonable to me with the addition of the 'Max5 SuperCharger Hydro-Mega-Grow Lights' and its companion add-on, 'Opti Super Make-Happy Roots Auto-feeding System' added to the soil. I've also added Tobacco in the potter.

Lights:
All the lights got revamped, obviously. Each display area has a light and there is 1 extra controlable light [compared to vanilla Portable Tent]. Also, I added a few static lights - over the WorkBench, Terminal/Foyer area and, of course, the 'Max5 SuperCharger Hydro-Mega-Grow Lights'.

Enjoy.


[This is a BETA?]

It is. Report any issues. Don't like something I did? Post what and why and how I might be able to make it better.

I'm currently playing the next version which has some more tweaks - mostly visual, some functional.


[Credits]
All credit to Fee510 for concept and coding [all his credits intact] - all I did was revamp the interior.


[Installation]

There are two ways to install this - if you haven't used the original PT mod and this will be a fresh install or if you want to replace/upgrade your current PT install with PTE.
