Higgs Village

Higgs Village is a location in the Big MT.

Background
Higgs Village was where the scientists in The Think Tank lived while still human. It is comprised of six houses designated with a number. Each appears to have been the home of one of the scientists who are now known as the Think tank. These surround a large fountain. With the exception of the addition of the fountain and the lack of front gardens the houses look very similar to Tranquility Lane in Fallout 3. The interiors follow the same pattern as both for those houses and the ones in Minefield.

House #00
When you walk in, there is a Securitron Mk I to your left with scrap found around it. Upstairs you will find another Securitron with additional scrap. Just before the room furthest to the left on the computer equipment just to the right of the door you will find the Recipes - Repair skill book. In the left room, on top of a computer terminal is the Audio Sample - Giant Tarantula. Return to the catwalk from where you entered Higgs village and climb over the railing to get on the roof of the house. Located here are two Med-Xs and one stimpak. This house belongs to 0|Dr. 0, as evidenced by the house number and the large number of broken robots strewn about. The same portrait of Mr. House seen at the House Resort is in the kitchen with knives stabbed through Mr. House's head, groin, and heart. (The knives are physical and fall off rather easily, so it's possible some people may enter the house and not see them)

House #101
Before heading inside, to the left side of the building is a dead shrub with a Nuka-Cola Victory in it. Inside appears to be a party house with a bar to the right as you walk in. Upstairs in the bathroom is a first aid box and two Mentats on the shelf to the left as you walk in. The middle room contains Sink Project: Book Chute holodisk and Dr. Klein's glove (a unique melee weapon) on the shelf to the right of the door. Upon entering the bedroom turn right on top of the wardrobe is Dr. Klein's scrubs. Therefore due to the glove and the scrubs this house is obviously owned by Dr Klein. In the bedroom you will also find a tin of Mentats and a bottle of Wine.

House #102
Before entering the house climb on to rooftop of house 00 then jump to house 101 followed by jumping to house 102. On the rooftop you will find a skeleton, 2 bottles of Beer and a locked footlocker containing ammunition. Inside computer monitors and equipment litter this house. Recipes - Science skill book is located upstairs on the right as you enter the bedroom, Also there are 15 tins of Mentats. Next to the desk just outside of the bedroom you will find a further 2 tins of Mentats. There is an ice cold Nuka-Cola in the kitchen on the floor next to a bucket just to the right of the door. Behind the house is a wooden crate next to the picnic table and metal crates in the corner to your left with random loot inside. On the picnic table there is another skeleton and 2 bottles of Beer This house is presumed to have been owned by Mobius as he has a Mentat addiction and there is a large amount inside. Another little hint on that this house was owned by Mobius is the 2 monitors to the left when you first enter the house, the left monitor is dirty and broken while the right one is fresh and new, like Mobius' own eye monitors.

House #103
This was the home of Borous before he became a think tank. Before heading inside, check out the rocket play set in back for a Nuka-Cola Quartz, and the kennel to the right of it for a dog named Gabe's unique dog dish, Gabe's Bowl. With the Wild Wasteland trait, the Courier may encounter a mini deathclaw named Stripe that deals the same damage as a legendary deathclaw that is extremely hard to kill. To the right, behind the house is a skeleton with two Mentats lying next to it.

Inside there are a lot of empty birdcages. In the sitting area there is a footlocker containing a scientist glove. Upstairs in the bedroom on the floor is a knife stuck into a piece of paper with "Dad" written on it. On the perch in the green cage on the desk is a key for Borous' Basement. Recipes - Medicine Skill Book can also be found on the desk. Heading downstairs towards the kitchen you come across the basement door with a hard lock on it. In front of the basement door lying on the floor is a tin of Mentats.

Either by picking the lock or using the key, head down. Upon entering you see a gruesome sight. It appears that Borous liked to dissect animals and stab things into the faces and bodies of teddy bears. Inside one of the locked cages is a teddy bear with butter knives stuck into it. On the shelf in the back there is a Ripper.

House #104
Upstairs, teddy bears sit in for spectators in this sexually charged, fashion-centric decor, complete with broken mirrors, mannequins and cameras. The hallway is transformed into a runway stage with teddy bears as the audience. The bedroom enjoys a similar theme, with more standing mirrors, a canopy bed with 3 floor to ceiling polls and a variety of costumes.

In that hall, on top of the radio, find the Speech skill book holotape. In the bedroom, There are lots of pre-War clothes including sexy sleepwear. Down stairs in the kitchen are 7 bottles of Wine and 1 tin of Mentats

Behind the house are stairs to a catwalk. On the 13th step there is a tin of Mentats. On the cat-walk there is multiple containers to search. There is also a duffle bag on the roof wedged against the tree containing a number of chems and alcohol. Due to her obsession with teddy bears and human anatomy, this house is likely to have belonged to Doctor Dala.

House # 108
The kitchen has an amusing sight of coffee mugs and plates precisely lined up in what appears to be the work of obsessive compulsive disorder. Upstairs in the office, you will find the Sink Project: Jukebox holodisk on top of some paperwork on the desk, which is needed for the All My Friends Have Off Switches. In the [Hard] locked suitcase under the bed and an Audio Sample - Opera Singer holodisk on the night stand.

Almost unique in all of the Mojave, you can hear what appears to be the sound of a pendulum clock ticking, suggesting this house might actually have a working clock, the other being inside the Goodsprings general store.

Outside on the right side of the house you will find xander root growing in a planter. On the opposite side broc flower can be found. There is also a wooden crate with a skeleton behind the house and a tin of Mentats This house belongs to Doctor 8, as he mentioned in a speech dialogue.
