It has been over ten years since Fallout 4, and fans are waiting for a new installment in the series. A player quickly built his own Vault and combined two popular games.
The release of Fallout 4 in November 2015 was over a decade ago. Since then, fans have eagerly awaited a new single-player title in the post-apocalyptic wasteland. While Bethesda provided some content with Fallout 76 in October 2018, it is an MMO.
The MMO had a difficult start and received a lot of criticism – particularly for the absence of the typical quirky NPCs and funny dialogues. Over the years, Fallout 76 has turned around; numerous updates have fixed bugs and delivered new content, making it even one of the top survival games on PC, PS5, and Xbox. Nevertheless, many simply miss a new single-player title.
A fan invested 90 hours to combine his two favorite franchises. He created a Fallout Vault within the life simulation “The Sims.” According to the creator, the tribute to the wasteland is far from finished.
Fan builds Vault with 3 floors and many rooms
What exactly did he build there? In the 90 hours, user HeyR built a Vault in The Sims, featuring the typical bunker entrance and spanning three floors. Each floor has its own functions with numerous rooms, including:
- Apartments with two bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, living area
- Armory
- Cafeteria, diner
- Clinic, lab
- Classroom
- Party room
- Gardens
- Overseer’s test lab
On Reddit, he presents a few screenshots of his project:
On his blog, he gives the rooms a soul and weaves real stories around the inhabitants. For example, he explains why certain areas were designed that way. Since the inhabitants sorely miss the sun, their area is decorated in bright yellow (Source: juliussims.tumblr.com).
In the subreddit for The Sims, users express their excitement about HeyR’s creation. Many ask him to make his Vault available for download. And deereese99 jokes that the Sims makers are probably planning to create an official Fallout pack at this sight.
Is Vault 18 real? Yes, Vault 18 does exist, but only in Fallout: New California, a fan-created mod and an unofficial prequel to the action RPG Fallout: New Vegas. In the mod, you start at a location that is built as a huge, luxurious control Vault. The layout is circular, which sets it apart from the usual rectangular design used in many other Vaults (Source: new-california.fandom.com).
You will probably have to wait a long time for Fallout 5, but at least there is some good news: The game has received the green light for future development from Bethesda. This news brings joy to the community, but also some jokes about Bethesda’s development. Some even believe that the developers hate Fallout fans.
