Colonial's department store (editorID: PrewarTVStudio) is an inaccessible test cell in Fallout 4. It can only be reached using the console command coc PrewarTVStudio.

Layout[]

The "studio" is in a house identical in design to the Sole Survivor's, but floating over an abyss. Exiting the house into the void will teleport the player character back into the kitchen. The kitchen is the only room occupied, with the newscaster sitting at a table mimicking a news studio room. Behind the newscaster is a pre-War globe map which does not appear anywhere else in the game. Like the globe items, the map also shows the Mediterranean Sea as being filled in. Another non-interactible news anchor is found sitting on the counter. This unnamed news anchor (Editor ID TVanchor, Form ID 000ECDA9) is implemented as a MovableStatic object rather than an NPC, meaning it is more like an animated mannequin than an actual character. As such, it cannot be targeted in V.A.T.S., pickpocketed, or damaged.

The newscaster, his chair, and the table are all floating. The living room contains a TV displaying the newscaster, as seen in the quest War Never Changes. On the stereo, there are multiple unnamed holotapes that cannot be picked up. The bedrooms are both empty, while the laundry room and bathroom contain a few fixtures.

This cell also contains an unused neighbor, but he is marked as initially disabled. He can be re-enabled using the console command 0ecd06.enable, but he does not have any dialogue.

Appearances[]

Colonial's department store appears only in Fallout 4 as a test cell.
