safe interiors for storage

[Carbohydrated Caretaker]

I've grown tired of using the trash cans outside Chet's shop. I am at a point where I have a few interior options but I know that in the future certain choices will make certain outcomes and I want to know if there is any safe places I could store my stuff that wouldn't get effected by any choices I make.
spoiler free PLZ. is Danny's casino safe?

If I recall, almost all the containers in the game are safe and won't respawn it's contents. You can test if a container is safe by placing an item you don't need in it, leaving the area for a few days and returning.

im not worried about the container I want a house where I can store all my stuff and have a bed there too. i am aware that most containers are safe but I just want a better location that I could call "home".

99.99% of storage containers in NV are safe.

The only ones that are set to respawn are listed here under "unsafe containers":

Idk wtf "Dan's casino" is but it sounds like a mod so you would have no way of knowing what's safe without using the geck or fnvedit.

In that case, helping Novac will eventually get you a key to a permanent room (I think the fridge is unsafe if I remember)

Helping Freeside will get you a permanent room in the Silver Rush

You get a free room once you get to the strip regardless of what choices and factions you choose to side with.

Helping NCR or Legion will eventually give you access to safe houses but I've never used them.

I believe there are other player houses that can be obtained but I've never gone for them. The above are ones you will likely accrue just from playing through the quests.

The only locations that have respawning containers, ala fallout 3, are the Follower's safehouse, some containers in the first section of dead money, some tree stumps and other 'lesser' loot containers in honest hearts, a fridge in McNamara airport, and probably some minor containers I forgot.

As for an optimal home, Victor's shack has great decoration and good lighting, so is ideal for turning into a dollhouse. There's a workbench and reloading bench across the street from it, and fresh water and a fireplace right next to the fast travel spot in goodsprings source where you kill the geckos during the tutorial, plus many useful plants grow in the area.

If you need more space, or containers to sort your stuff, Harper's shack is the best place you'll find. Dedicated fast travel spot, campfire outside, reloading bench and workbench inside, multiple containers to keep your loot organized, many tables and other surfaces for displaying weapons, and enough real estate to turn power armor equipped corpses into improvised armor stands. Unlike Victor's shack, it's extremely unlikely that you'll fill Harper's shack to the point item physics ruin your dollhouse.

Pros: both the NCR and the legion patrol the road outside, and are frequently attacked by the big pack of respawning raiders. This means you'll always have a fresh supply of trash weapons and armor to repair your good stuff, and a steady stream of both kinds of water.
Cons: occasionally a lot of deathclaws spawn nearby, and if they see you sneak inside, they'll follow you, which can jeopardize the dollhouse. Lighting inside Harper's shack is also abysmal.

You can get nice room with some place to store your stuff in Novac, this town with big dinosaur ^^

Chet's refrigerator in goodsprings general store

[Death Approaches]

there are no less than 50 starting houses in Goodsprings mods for this exact reason. a couple of them are lore friendly and fitting, like farmhouse... https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/37490

or you could just go to the yangtze memorial NE of goodsprings and use the Abandoned shack there. as far as i know no npcs go anywhere near it so storing anything should be safe in there.

You know what's up!

Harper's Shack was my go-to storehouse once I came upon it so many years ago.

It's smart to use sneak mode outside the shack to get an indication if the deathclaws have taken notice of you. If the sneak indicator says caution use a stealth boy.
