Mama Murphy's Chair in-game lacks all the character it had in the concept art. This is my attempt at bringing some of that back. It is cobbled together from vanilla meshes, so any and all retextures you use will transfer over to the corresponding pieces (except for the umbrella's diffuse map and glowing bloodpack's glowmap). It uses the same collision box as the original chair, so most the side table and the umbrella top have no collision. You no longer have to start the quest 'The Sight' to build the chair, just one at a time and only in Sanctuary. The bug zapper/light thing has a light source with shadows. It has a pretty small range so it shouldn't hurt performance much, if at all. Once I learn how, I plan on making the light/electricity effects togglable.
IF YOU PLAN ON COMPLETING 'THE SIGHT' DO NOT BUILD THE CHAIR UNTIL PROMPTED. I made the chair buildable without progressing through this quest. This is for the benefit of people that'd rather not give her chems to reach that point in the quest. If you get stuck at the part of the quest that requests you to build the chair, use the console command: CompleteAllObjectives ebe71
Here is an excellent mod showcase of the chair. Note that the visual effects and some minor texture changes were added after this was made. Still, it's an awesome run down of what this does.
This was made using 3Ds Max, the Creation Kit, FO4Edit, GIMP, Material Editor, Audacity, and Nifskope
