Neon Houseboat
Community Rating
A cosy compact home on the water dipping into the nautical side of Neon, with an aesthetic inspired by Fallout 3 and Skyrim player home mods.
[Important: Major update out. Welcome PS5 gamers. Other platforms: Due to plugin changes I recommend a new game/NG+. Many mods not just mine will be updating this week so it's a good idea. Thanks!]
Features and gimmicks:
- Live on a retired fishing vessel that has been owned by several outcasts before you. Based on real ships and 'tiny home' spaces.
- A Neon player home, away from the bustling platform, conveying the nautical side of Neon culture.
- The boat bobs and hanging objects inside sway back and forth.
- Slightly eerie vibe from being right near the sea life.
- Time of day affects lighting - the boat is brightest at midday, and your eyes adjust to artificial light at night.
- Interactable objects and toggleable features.
Where: Neon exterior, sea level, just under the rain shadow from Ryujin HQ. Possible to jump to it from the landing pad with some skill.
This Creation has unique background music not yet implemented to get this update out faster. Uses quiet jazz music as a placeholder. You can preview the track here: https://hycas.bandcamp.com/track/quiet-neon-fog Adding the music is the last confirmed update, but there are stretch goals such as a decoration terminal and unique nautical POIs you travel to using the boat.
Contact me with any bug reports (especially on console) or suggestions. A more detailed description on NexusMods. I can be found on Nexus and the Bethesda Discord as @Hycas.
Release notes
Playstation
-
2.0.2- Kitchen light has an off texture.
- Improved main entrance door. (Less clipping, more hull cover, different texture).
- Expanded workaround teleport hotfix to cover ladder exit that used to not do the thing.
- Small tweaks. -
1.00(Supposed to say 2.0.0 oops)
- Real global illumination + reflections
- Details, decals, small lights e.t.c.
- Now toggleable:
- Dirty clothes, trash and grunge, lightswitches and lamps in almost every room, shower, music.
- Tweaked LUT, custom time of day for darker nights.
- Bigger and better exterior pack-in.
- Food and industrial workbenches. No weapons and suit for now.
- More idle markers.
- Player storage: the safe by the bed and the several custom med kits shouldn't reset.
- The ship has been conceptually redone and has MUCH more character and environmental storytelling: It's now a unique boat that has been customised by several previous owners.
- Roughly +50% longer boat, seamlessly gained 2 new rooms.
- Custom music is even more ready to go but wwise was making the game mute, already delayed the mod by 2 days trying to fix it, hopefully it'll be out in like v2.1.0 or something!
- Cleaned plugin.
- There's a "legacy" version that keeps the small size but has real reflections.

1.00Reduced commonality of teleporting underwater when you have a follower. Added teleport doors to bail you out when it does happen.
Not actually my intended v1.0, just a version number mistake. -
0.9First release.
Will be 1.0 when I implement the custom music.
