The Zone is host to people from various horizons. Overtime, the demand for goods imported from the west became such that some traders of the Zone couldn't overlook the potential profit anymore.
This addon was originally a minor addon that added a few drinks and snack from popular brands in western countries. Overtime, it evolved into a full-size game extension, adding new gameplay mechanics, consumables, readable magazines, trade items, devices, unique NPCs, and even a new set of storylines. Feel free to suggest new items or ideas in general, I'll do my best to add it if it fits the addon.

These addons are absolutely required in order for Western Goods to work :

- Mod Configuration Menu (allows you to customize some options about the addon);
- Device Selector Key (makes it easier to switch between various devices);
- New Levels (adds new levels to the game);
