Fallout 4 Settlement Tutorial: How to repair buildings
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 лип 2023
- In this video I show you how to get started on repairing buildings and bringing them back to pre-war status.
To make your settlement larger, use mods like All Settlements Extended, and Settlement Border Expansion Project.

For all those telling me about the "Disable" console command, I am aware of it lol. I discovered it about 20 minutes after I recorded this. Thanks for the tip though as I'm sure it will help others!
I tend to use the Disable Command to get rid of the Skeletons in a settlement and any cars that may pass inside the build area.
Quick question, when you show the mod list in the beginning, any particular reason the second one is blurred out?
@@craigheroux5356 It's spelled wrong and was confusing people. UA-cam wouldn't let me add the note on screen. It's correct in the description though.
Markfordelete remove things
Is there a mod that acts like the disable command on xbox?
It would have blown my mind if it was like this in vanilla fallout 4. Seems really nice to just fix up random stuff.
@@goblo023I actually appreciate the intimacy of doing it similar to this way rather than have it instantly happen
Making a town or civilization restoration as a mission for the next fallout title would be interesting tho . I mean rather than just a base building why not goes for a town building . And like let us re-use the existing building too other than making a new one .
@goblo023I seriously thought that was what Fallout 76 was going to be ngl.
Someone should make a game about that!
@goblo023with businesses and manufacturing, like assigning your settlers to crops, that self generate caps because you now "own" those businesses. The corvair factory? The bottling plant? Clear them out, and make it your territory, and put it to work for you. Wasted space, wasted opportunities.
Repairing things should have been part of the base game. Likewise, everything should have been a scrap option without the need for mods. I had no problem with building new things that had a rubbish look from scrap. But materials existed to repair walls of existing buildings, and I think that should have been in the game.
Exactly! Scrap a pile of bricks, make a brick wall. Well maybe in FO5 when it releases in 2076 lol
😀 I vote for this idea too. 👍🏾
😀
At the beginning of the story which begins 210 years after the bombs, the Commonwealth becomes the recovery zone for the Militiamen. Their plan is to recover the place, and make this place a safe and secure. A place where it is good to live in an atmosphere of peace. When our Militia character moved to General level, cleaning became a commitment. But when we finished restoring peace to the Commonwealth, I said to myself that we could beautify the place.
@@clementrodrigue Precisely!
I feel like the ebb and flow of different scrapper cartels rebuilding and demolishing the world could be used to explain how much time passed with such an odd blend of chaotic rubble and contemporaneous buildings still standing. Seeing a whole interstate overpass move from one side of the map to the other could explain why any of it is there at all
One of the things that really broke my immersion was how people were living in buildings that were full of holes. It makes absolutely no sense to not seal up buildings as tight as possible and make them weather proof, especially when there's so much material around. If I ever go back, I'll definitely use mods like these to make more realistic settlements. Actually seems kind of fun.
That's exactly why I like rebuilding ans fixing the buildings to make them more realistic.
Especially the fact it takes place 210 years after the Great War. Which yeah I understand for lore sake that radiation is still around but I mean in that time no one at all repaired a single building?
@@vascotank2143 Not until I came along apparently lol
@@spoonerdee and thank you for that:)
@@vascotank2143 lol You're welcome!
As a former architect who worked in Boston and lived in Jamaica Plain and who's primary settlement in Fallout 4 was in Jamaica Plain, this video gives me great joy.
Well done! I spent countless hours doing things like this to rebuild my virtual neighborhood while living in my real neighborhood. ❤
lol that must have been a lot of fun! I'm legit jealous!
Lol, I visited Jamaica Plains when I did my IRL fallout 4 tour.
Very disappointing.
Sorry I stole your bat
I legit thought Jamaica Plains was a beach not a township 😂
@@demandred1957one of the places on my bucket list.
The biggest problem with settlement building in Fallout is that your limited on how, many want to rebuild to prewar but the original is essentially just ramshackle building.
That’s what makes these mods so great!
Yeah, it's a pet peeve of mine to see post-apocalypse settlements, where for some reason all of the builders decide to go for "distressed", as if everyone forgot how to make bricks, logs or how to paint a wall... for reasons. Or like people wouldn't be able to reinvent it in the 200 YEARS past the big boom. Whyyyyy!!
@@rissaarei5336 I can accept the fact you can't build a nice wall, with mortar and all, because you are too occupied to survive raiders and ghouls. BUT FFS ITS RAINING RADIOACTIVE WATER THROUGH YOUR ROOF. It triggers me everytime to see all these settlements and no cover at all.
Thats when you look for mods to take care of some of that.
This what I love to see in the future Fallout games tbh, able to fully repair buildings and such, one step up from starting your own settlements tbh
Indeed! This should have been part of the game, but I don't think Bethesda had any clue how much people would really get into building. Perhaps they will take notice for fo5. Here's to hoping.
The sign of a great game! It can be 8 years old and still teach you new things! Thanks to all the wonderful folks making mods out there!
Indeed! I am beyond thankful to the modders who keep creating such awesome tweaks for this game!
And it is much better then the newest Game from the same Studio! 🙄😂
@@spoonerdee What was Bethesda thinking when they eliminated accomplishments from those who install mods? Why punish anyone for using unofficial mods????? If someone downloads a Magnum revolver from Nexusmods that does 9999 points of damage per shot, that is their own fault for ruining their game with a ridiculously overpowered weapon.
“The sign of a great game!” Aka a community that actually cares for it and makes it good, I assume considering vanilla is so bad
The sign of great mod makers!*
One last thing: If you want an object that matches an existing object (like a parapet piece) but doesn't exist in your building mods you can easily create a duplicate. Go into the console, select an existing object and then type
spawndupe
When you exit the console, the duplicate will usually appear above the existing object. It will also not be aligned to the 'z' place. As soon as you select it - it will correct itself. NOTE: this usually only corrects the FIRST copy of an object. If you need more hopefully there are other 'originals' you can copy. If not, you'll need to get really good with Place Anywhere's object controls. BTW: It's even sometimes possible to use Place Anywhere's 'Store Object's Position, Rotation and Scale' command on the original piece, and then 'Restore' the copies. This means the copy will be in the exact same place as the original. So, you can just grab one, and then move it. Whew...)
Thanks, I did not know about that dupe command. Will come in handy for sure!
Be careful with mods like Scrap Everything. They split up objects merged with other objects into in order for you to be able to scrap them one by one. They can massively fuck up your save game file.
Just out of curiosity, I've used that specific mod on basically all of my playthrough, never had an issue aside from deleting a road but just save often I guess. But how does it massively fuck up a game cause I've seen people say that all the time but I've never once experienced it even adding it to 300+ mod packs.
@@Shuruii Save file: "Where is that specific thing? It should be there, I know it because I always check it. I can't do this man, fuck this I won't load."
Yeah i heard that scrapt everything mod can corrupt your save game, so becareful to use it, or just use the settlement blueprint instead by other modders.
@@Shuruii I don't think it destroys/ corrupts your save but makes them very large in filesize and at some point your computer cannot handle it effectively. What most scrap everything mods do is what was said already. They broke what is called "precombines" and "previs". Many objects (clutter, roads, terrain etc), especially outside of settlements are rendered and calculated as some form and size of cells. These precombines or cells can contain many different objects made for this game but combined to read as one object so your cpu and gpu handles and renders them as one single object thus reducing load times and giving you huge boost to fps and use less memory. Most popular scrap everything mods are made quickly with no attention to precombines/ previs. When you scrap even some single bush on somewhere that is part of precombine you break that single cell into a many smaller cells or objects that so instead of one objects your computer and savefile handles there are now tens of single objects that your computer needs to render. Previs means that game renders only objects that are visible to player so when you break precombines and previsibles your computer renders every piece of scrap in that cell as a different thing, greatly affecting performance in all but high end machines. Example: Some junk pile where you clearly see skeletons and some loot and maybe few weapon stock's are visible ect. that you can't get your hand on in vanilla game and can't interact in anyway. They are just single static object there. Then you download some cheap scrap everything everywhere all at once mod and go to that pile and you see that you can scrap that skeleton, weapon ect. all separately. Moment you scrap that skeleton for few bones that mod breaks that cells precombine and previs and tells your computer that those single objects in this big pile of shit are different cells and objects thus making your computer to make more work thus lowering performance. More you do this, more they are broken and game becomes more and more taxing for your game and then comes a time when game engine, your computer or something else jsut can't handle all that information anymore and your game crashed everytime or you experience some visual bugs. There are some great scrapping mods that have been made with time and passion and does allow you a more limited but much much more performance and save friendly scrapping. Those mod makers have usually included some form of regenerative precombines/previs in their mod that combines those cells again after you have scrapped some part of them. But best mods are made so that mod maker has broken precombines in editor and changed it so that some things in that cell are scrappable ie. not part of that cell and can be scrapped safely. These mods are usually larger in size and can a bit hit your performance but not much. www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/articles/3202 This article tells all that in better way
I've never had that happen to my saves. Only problem I ever had with scrapping mods was some occlusion if a building is scrapped.
These build/delete/rebuild mods are game changers. Absolute crap-holes like "hangmans alley" can be made into small, neat bases/way stations.
Things like "the castle can be fully restored to their former glory and become true bastions of power.
I use several of the mods featured here, and JP is one of several settlements that I own, but haven't fixed, populated or rebuilt yet. This vid offered a few ideas.👍
Glad you liked it! I have a video on Hangman's Alley going live tomorrow. I put a lot of hours into it, I think you'll def like it!
I make houses that appease me at least
When I rebuild the castle I use the terraformer blocks in Sim Settlements to fill in the collapsed walls with a nice mud or gravel texture, and then line them with the covenant concrete walls from Homemaker. Gives me a realistic look for a feasible rebuild, because theres no way in hell you are restoring those original granite bricks to pre-war condition. It makes more sense to me to use the materials on hand to reinforce the gaps in the wall. I even add a gate or two with guard posts.
The timing on this video couldn't have been much better. I was using Snappy just yesterday to build a Publick Occurrences office in Egret Tours Marina and using Snappy to do so. It's a great idea to make these tutorial videos. You are very good at explaining stuff in an easy-to-understand way.
Thanks Zebra Hater! I probably should have been a teacher, I hear that all the time lol.
Publick Occurrences office in Egret Tours Marina? That is just a building devoid of journalists and other workers that you merely unofficially built in your own name. Right? In any realistic mod Piper would be like "Why waste our resources for a direction where there is just one disturbed woman who thinks she shot her grandson and considers herself a synth? Even further away there is a single father with his children. And there is no way am I gonna do business with Children of Atom nutcases living in Glowing Sea because my couriers and postmen did not sign up for suicide missions!"
@@Cybernaut76 Not sure I understand your rant. Egret Tours Marina makes a great settlement. The crazy old woman is supposed to leave after you talk some sense into her, but she doesn't. After you move settlers in, she becomes mostly a non-entity.
@@srellison561 glad I'm not the only one to fail to see the point of that "rant"...
@@srellison561 Excuse me? Why are you guys accusing me of ranting? That is not what I intended to do. I was just saying what mods may contain if their makers are realists based on how could we very likely expect Piper to react if it was real. Thank you for saying how will things go actually. I did not know what kind of mods there were used.
To anyone watching this.
Be VERY careful when using the scrapping mods displayed here.
While it does give you the ability to quote literally scrap anything. You don’t want to.
Scrapping things you wouldn’t otherwise be able to scrap can disable pre-combines.
Pre-combines are one part of Fallout 4's Optimization System. They are designed to keep 3D object counts as low as possible by combining multiple objects together into one 3D object.
Disabling them by scrapping things can drastically reduce performance, causing stuttering, large drops in frame rate, and CTD’s (Crashes).
As such it’s not really a good idea to scrap everything in settlements and completely remake them like the guy in the video is (even on PC but especially on console)
Great tutorial. I do building on my channel all the time and I so often forget to explain the mechanics of how the tool kit works when I'm doing things. So glad you posted this for people to understand the way to expand their building experience in FO4
Thanks! I'll be doing more tutorials similar to this in the future. Despite how old the game is, there are still tons of people who ask for help with building for the first time.
Why the heck is this not in the vanilla game 😭😭
Because it messes up the scripts
True. This game is so funn that the only thing i would like is to be able to clean/repair the existing buildings/houses around settlements, or simply to be able to transform them all into materials, to be able to clean the areas of the settlements (from garbage, rubble, dirt, bushes, etc...) and to be able to build according to our willing without the need of mods!
You can delete things that cannot be deleted even with the help of scrap mods via a command, like that chair here: 10:06 , open the command menu (~), type "markfordelete" on the thing you want to delete, then fast travel to any location and return, you will see that it has disappeared. I also remember that I used the “delete” command and it deleted anything immediately without travel, but I don’t remember well. I hope this will help you.
It's safer to use the "disable" command, since it only turns things invisible instead of outright deleting them. Sometimes those chairs can be integrated weirdly and deleting them crashes your game.
Save,markfordelete,quiksave.Then load quiksave.Marked is gone
...which only works if it has a own ID from a specific Libary.
If not aka be "enviromental", it does not work.
Then, you need the Mod to be able to acess the said Libarys IDs as well to do so because the Game doies not recognize it as "valid" aka "beeing an Object rather than an enviromental Piece".
Cells can overlap in this Game - and thus it can be an Item from another Cell preventing you from acessing it without Mods.
And thoose Items - thoose are the ones the "fuck up your Save" when deleted as the Game reads that as "corrupted File" instead of this beeing done intentionally.
@@Rabijeel You need just click on item and you have id
actually quite fun repairing things yourself. oddly satisfying but can just get really tedious and aggravating with all the snapping issues and navigating through the list of options lol.
For sure it can be. But I'm touched in the head and enjoy it. In the end though it is satisfying, especially when I "win" and make it work lol
a lot of the alignment issues are simply because most of these buildings weren't built in game with snapping, they were built in a modelling program that saved them as prefabs that could be placed in the world, so any building that's giving you trouble it's a good idea to restart, and start working your way around from a bottom corner at least picking up and snapping every piece you can even if you don't scrap and replace it
It really shows how limited the building is in Fallout 4 and 76 Vanilla, humans would most definitely replace or repair most of the broken or missing windows/walls to keep the weather out as well as improve defenses, living conditions, plus its satisfying to do, i actually repaired all the houses in Sanctuary Hill with Vanilla parts, no mods, it took some really janky moving and placing but it was super nice, the only issue was dealing with the weather/rain SFX activating in a roofed or inclosed space.
Beyond annoying when you build a nicely roofed.... anything and it just goes right through lol
Huge thanks for sharing this. Just stumbled upon your channel yesterday . Have just jumped back into Fallout recently and am going to love this mod. looking forward to watching more of your videos 🙂
Welcome and thanks for the kind words. Plenty more tutorials coming as well as some "build along" videos planned in the future.
Watching this, i can't help but think "WHY WASN'T THIS IN THE GAME FROM THE START???"
To remove the things you can't click on or more and if you are on PC, in console, click on the thing you want to remove to see it's ID number and then type /disable. This will remove move it. If you have the wrong ID and you had disabled it, before clicking something else and you still have the item ID, type /enable to bring it back. This is for PC.
Thanks! I discovered this just after making this video lol. BUT this will help others in the future so again thanks!
I use the enable/disable to clear trash and other junk so I don't delete the wrong items/structures. The number of times I have done that and had not saved if a while was very frustrating.
@@CeirrentheAssassin Yeah I've accidently deleted stuff all the time like roads and or whole buildings lol. I've since learned to go slower and be more careful and save OFTEN!
After using the disable command, the object is still there, just not visible. To complete the removal, type (without the quotes, before you select another object) "markfordelete" (no spaces), and the next time you leave the area, it will actually be deleted and no longer count against your settlement's build limit. (*Very* handy in Bunker Hill.)
You know you have played Fallout a lot when... With one thumbnail of one angle of a building you recognize exactly where you are in the game world. aka a police station in this case.
Thank you for this great tutorial. I absolutely love it and it definitely made me want to play Fallout 4 again which I had played for hundreds of hours but never with mods and it was such a pain to restore the buildings and settlements with the ingame system.
You're welcome, I spent countless hours building in vanilla and it was beyond frustrating! Having used mods, I can never go back lol
Good tutorial for new Snappy Housekit users. As an experienced builder with Snappy Housekit & other similar mods, I'd like to point out that sometimes you can get stuff to snap into the proper place by using some outside the box tactics, like the wall that wouldn't snap in the one room you were working on at 10:45, but it would snap the other direction, I found that just by snapping it in facing the other direction, it would usually become possible to just snap an additional piece in at the right spot, then just store the one that was in the wrong spot.
Also, the janky office chairs in the Jamaica Plain town hall can be disabled via console, or in some cases, I used console commands to right & move them into place (I use console commands in lieu of Place Everywhere). I do try to keep pre-existing terminals & safes though, so I don't lose any lore (I used console commands to slightly adjust the desk under the terminal in the mayor's office, but kept the terminal & safe in the final product).
One final note, but the wood floors in the Shell Kit part of Snappy housekits have the exact same meshes & textures as the wooden floors in the town hall & a lot of other buildings.
Thanks for the information. I've done what you mentioned with the wall not snapping, but I also wanted to show how place everywhere can be super helpful with difficult pieces.
I honestly just learned the console "disable" command after making this video lol wish I'd know before.
Thanks again for the insight!
For the occasional walls that won't snap into place. I've found that you can somewhat smudge things a bit by at least getting one wall to snap in and then have the other snap onto that, then you remove the first wall you placed down and there you go.
lol funny enough, that's usually what I do, but for some reason my mind went blank
4 minutes and I am very tempted to make an entire save dedicated to repairing every building I can... I know I will give up after ~20 minutes but hey 😭😂
Fixing broken buildings actually makes more sense and more immersive than the shitty one vanilla has. I always try to cover up holes in vanilla using the wooden/concrete walls, so much time wasted.
Not wasted, I've covered holes in walls and roofs with patchwork before to make it look, well patchwork lol. In the real world, Sometimes you might only be able to find a couple pieces of sheet metal or wood.🫠
@@spoonerdee true, it has more apocalyptic aesthetics too. But the gymnastics I have to go throught to put them juuuuuust right really chews up my free time sometimes
@@cataclysm7256 lol tell me about. Not just that, but regular pieces that snap everywhere except where you want them... countless hours!
This should have been a feature from Day 1. I'm super bummed out that we have to place new but ragged wooden/metal shacks on perfectly level concrete grounds. That, and never be able to get rid of road cracks and tiny branches. Fallout shouldn't be horrible dilapidated landscapes everywhere - people should continue living and building. This gives the player more autonomy and credits, and let the settlements become actually habitable.
this is really something i want to do, sadly i can only play FO:NV for now but the idea of getting in a town and be able to repair it in a late game or post ending game seems correct
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you'll get to soon.
So good to see you making new Fo4 content, hard subscribed. Love the tutorial, your building aesthetics are very appealing
Thanks!
If only vanilla FO4 base building is this flexible, the amount of floating sleeping bags i have to put on pieces of rubbles are way too many.
Downloaded these mods, I really like building things and these are perfect! I can't believe I haven't found these before, thank you!
You are most welcome!
The new goated duo, this and place anywhere
that’s why you don’t start houses by their roofs 😂 good video man, repair the fallout should be a game goal
scrapping bodies is like giving them a proper burial
imagine recreating the whole commonwealth with this.
As someone new to Fallout4 who also has rather extensive OCD... your videos have been great!
I want to know what the heck all these build mods do and what is in them before I download but so many have bare minimum information and downright vague descriptions. Makes me nuts. Lol!
So this was great to see not only what they are but how they really work. 😊
Thanks, super happy to help!
WTH
This game is already almost decade
But i dont know fallout 4 have this feature
Nice bro for giving this tips
Respect
You're welcome!
Place Anywhere also allows you to scrap certain objects that normally aren't scrappable via a hotkey, by default INS.
This video is perfect, I can finally build a proper capital for my minutemen game.
Thank you for the video. I have been doing a LOT of rebuilding over the years (including planting live trees everywhere), and yet I still learned a couple things. Something that might help you and others: at 11:00 minutes in - you have problems snapping a wall in (even with snappy). Walls seem to almost always snap better to floors (or roofs) with an exposed edge. Sometimes you can temporarily remove (or move) one of the floors on either side of the wall. (Which you do at 15:30 for the single wall, but you could have done for the corner wall! first!) If the wall has an outside, you'll want to remove/move the floor that is on the 'outside'. Then just replace when done placing the wall. You can sometimes even use the vanilla's barn half floor, to position walls using the half floor, then replace the half floor with the proper full floor and now you have a wall perfectly aligned half way on a full floor. (I usually build bases with the second floors 'indented' halfway in for defensive walkways with wood guard fences and turrets. (So the enemies can't get under floors that extend out.)
Very good points! In this case I wanted to also show off Place Everywheres ability to turn snapping off. Thanks though, others will see this and get some help, much appreciated!
Still my fav game after all these years.
We all agree that fixing things ups is the most interesting in the game, with mods.
Great tips! I love rebuilding settlements.
Thanks!
I needed bro, thank you 🙏
Just an FYI, scrapping mods break precombs or, you can acidently break them by using a scrapping mod to remove something.
Use Workshop Framework instead of Scrap Everything
@@legen_dary42 Also Immersive Scrapping, which has rebuilt precombines.
If the new wall doesn't snap, place a roof or floor that snaps over two old walls and then you can snap the new walls going around the building.
It's incredible to think that in the world of Fallout 4 that in 200 years nobody thought to clean up and fix up the buildings, lol. And before people start saying "but the machines are all destroyed!" you think buildings were always made by machines? There are enough bricks that can be salvaged from other buildings to at least fix up some of them...
Not only that, but all of downtown Boston is filled with buildings that are just boarded up and could easily be lived in lol
@@spoonerdee Yep, definitely. It's funny to think that the USA is basically 200 years old. Yet somehow in the future with all of the knowledge we have from modern society, in another 200 years people make zero progress, lol.
This whole video gave me major Ron Swanson vibes! Down to the restoration and everything!
I get that a lot lol
It drove me insane that we weren't able to patch building and fix things up like this in vanilla, there are so many great buildings in the settlements that could have been amazing if we just had the ability to clean things up and patch them properly 💔
Indeed. In real world, there would be small, rebuilt communities all over, where people fixed up existing houses etc.
I remember in one of my first two playthroughs I was stuck trying to block off the huge gaping hole in the side of the castle, hopefully with this I can finally do what I couldn't before and fix that place up once and for all. Thanks for the tutorial!
It will work for some of the castle but to get rid of the huge rubble piles, it will remove large sections of the castle itself too. The other option is to use a mod that removes the rubble so you can build using a clean pallet.
@@spoonerdee Any recommendations for a specific mod?
@@d3iviz600 Probaby something like Castle Walls Repaired. I think that gets rid of everything and fixes the walls so its a total clean slate. There's others too that modify things a little or a lot, so that's up to you and how much you want to do yourself.
@@spoonerdee Thanks
damn that’s pretty neat this actually makes base building useful
Indeed. If it weren't for mods I wouldn't build as often as I do.
For unscrapables like the sofa and the chair, I normally rely on the disable command in console.
Gonna rebuild the whole commonwealth with these mods
Fallout 4: The Architect
thanks very much, congrats from brazil
This is fallout 4 if it was immersive and lore-friendly
this is somehow so satisfying to watch
Thanks. I just started a series for Taffington Boathouse.

You can edit the ground in creation kit to flatten it out. I often use this to lower the floor to allow a basement.
True, but not everyone can use the creation kit. I try to keep things open to most users. Thanks though, might be helpful to some. :-)
You can make a whole different map at that point
It's been 200 years; people shouldn't be living in actual rubble heaps. I can't wait to grab these mods and get to properly fixing things!
Jamaica Plains is a bastard of a site, such a hassle to squeeze everything in.
Normally I HATE Mods, but this 1 Is Awesome! When I was in the Royal Engineers British Army I was a Building and Structural Finisher. Our Job was to Turn Derelict Building into Operatiinal Facilities. So as A Plasterer, Paint and Decorator, Glazer, Tile Fitter, Floor Layer, and Partition Specialist this May be the ONLY Mod I need. Just hope PS5 Update make this react like this PC Version.
Unfortunately, Sony has the game locked down, not Bethesda. The update won't change this. 😟
Bro straight up un-wasted the land
I could watch a stream of someone rebuilding a settlement using this mod
Not really a stream, but a running series 3 episodes in so far .

I always felt like Fallout (or post apocalyptic RPGs in general) should have stuff like this, especially 76 since the whole intro kinda premises you'll be helping rebuild society, well as far as I know, I feel like so long after the war people would have at least some sort of decency when it comes to buildings lol, it seems like the resources are there.
Plus, it'd just be nice to see a clean, fixed up town or village in a post apocalyptic/war world that isn't ran by cannibals or psychopaths for once like in basically every movie or game 😂
Its such a satisfying video goah❤
That's such a cool banjo intro I wonder where I heard that before
Free use song that's everywhere now lol. That's part of why I swapped it in later videos.
just a note in place everywhere turn num lock off and press 0 ,this gives you access to extra items delete, so things outside the settlement , the desk in sanctuary that wont delete and the graves and other things ...
Holy cow!
I pass in Fallout 4 allmost 1200 hours... and then we go thats beautifull mods))
T.Y.))
Another helpful mod is "Rebuild" it's both standalone settlements and a pack of them where items that you can repair and it'll fix the building. Super great mod and very helpful ESPECIALLY for places like Jamaica Plain, Croup Manor, Coastal Cottage, etc.
Looks like I'm about to get addicted to Fallout 4 again.
I know dem feels lol
take this as you will but scrap everything breaks precombines that's how it enables scraping stuff. that also breaks your game in the long run and in the short-term causes fps issues and stutters. would be best to not use mods like that but you do you if you are only out to build the occasional settlement and nothing more all good.
Aurelianis made a very good mod that basically allows you to repair the entire town with a simple repair function on each building.
10:37 these "place everywhere" functions sure make building easier and look good, but there will be a huge problem when you have settlers or followers. If a wall is not snapped to the floor and not attached to the ground, NPC will not see it and can get stuck near that wall.
Even worse if you place floors with "place everywhere" as it breaks NPC pathfinding completely
Honestly, no matter how I build, my NPC's are usually stuck all the time in the most random places. They hardly ever are able to actually navigate anything that I build whether or not I follow the "rules" lol. It's to the point that I don't even care much anymore.
I do not play Fallout 4 anymore much but i like these videos its nice And chill to look on them.😄
Thanks!
Thank you
Problem with a lot of mods what let you delete/scrap everything is that you sometimes delete pre combines which can then crash the game. Also there seems to be overlaps with quests in some buildings like the one in this video. How did you find it with the quest location being in a settlement etc
I haven't had any issues. Though I usually build after I finish the game/quests, but even still, never had anything break from my tinkering. Having said that, everyone should be super careful for the reasons you mentioned.
Hi, it's been a long time since I did anything like this on Fallout 4. But one thing I do remember is the wall snaps tend to orientate via the floors or ceilings. So your problem, like the corner wall you tried to use is from the roof section you just placed, If you rotate it 90 degrees & then snap it, that should change the wall snap position. After, if the roof section orientation is wrong , you can simply pick it up & turn it back, as these sections tend to be free from locking in only certain positions. Also, if you had removed the wall after moving the roof piece, and then tried the corner, I think that would of also worked...Great vid will like...JC
Pre-repair already looks better than the real Jamaica Plain,
probably safer too.
Even the damn hospital in JP is sketchy as hell dude, and some of the craziest sh•t I saw there was from the staff.
So I've heard. I'll just visit in game only lol
When the new wall no snap, you can put before the roof snap on old wall and the new wall snap. Idem for the new floor snap on old wall. Just turn around building until place all the walls.
Sometimes I wonder... the engine is old, but enables so many interesting features, and they still aren't able to make a similar interesting game.
I mean, they could make a Crossover between Sims and Terraria and the engine would be just fine.
Yeah Starfield was fun at first, but def doesn't have the same feel or repeat play ability as games like skyrim and whatnot.
Oblivion was also fun at first, and even for some longer time. But if somebody digs deeper and opens up to you, how much mechanics and actual gameplay is missing, you start to wonder why It's not in there.
Yet, DLCs and especially Mods showed what's actually possible to achieve if you want to.
Skyrim was fun at first, too, but you didn't even need to dig too deep to see how much mechanics got cut off from even oblivion. What they added was rudimentary crafting and a limited perk system carved from their fallout kit. So what, I can use dual wield weapons and even magic. When at the same time there are less magic effects than before, and you can't even combine the basic magics into a higher tiered one.
And then Mods come along and at first didn't really add totally new things but just turned on functions that the engine already had e.g. more parts for customizable armor, like shoulder, hip, back, etc. And you start to wonder why...
While many would not agree with me, because newer engines are a must at some point... the problem is neither the old technic nor basic gameplay loop. It's just that as a company, they do not care about the content of the product. It has to make cash and that's all.
Just go into console and disable the sideways chair. It works most of the time. Also, the walls are supposed to have corner pieces that will allow better snapping to rebuild the original wall design.
The graphics in this game are so good that i thought the thumbnail was of a real house in Detroit.
Maybe it is.😬
Ok. I'll start a fresh play through with the suggested mods.
Have fun!
It's really nice of Nick Offerman to rebuild this decrepit building in his spare time
What always bugged me in this game is that the vanilla roofs all are full of holes and terrible as I’d say one of the most important things for shelter is a good roof
Absolutely love the rebuild. Do you have a mod that extends the build area? Used to have one for XB1 but it was messing with my game. Absolutely loved rebuilding that building but hate the objects you can't scrap for anything. Sometimes you can't cover them up. I used to have more scrapping mods but kept scrapping things I didn't mean too 😆.
I do, here's a link to it. mods.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/mod-detail/4058235
Loved watching this! It makes me want to buy a 12 pack of coke (of course) and re-download the game with all the suggested mods and totally rebuild the Commonwealth. 😊 Yes, I am from Massachusetts so when the game came out I was looking for anything that faintly resembled the real Boston. The Common was good and the old Statehouse and Capitol was good but why so FLAT?? the real Boston is quite different.
thank you
Doesn’t the mod scrap everything and other scrap mods break the game by breaking pricombines and causing really bad frame rate and lag
My favorite mod always was "spring cleaning" which lets you scrap all debris in settlements. Why would you even build up something and live there and leave all the debris just laying around?
Looks awesome! See, it's not that hard, Capital Wasteland and Commonwealth, especially when you have a damn 200 years.
Exactly what I've been saying lol. Most buildings in Boston look fine other than magically having boards on all their windows lol
Essential mods for Bunker Hill Settlement
Guess I gotta reinstall FO4 for the 100th time.
I loved rebuilding settlements the the thing that turned me off when i accidentally scrap a large piece of road, then I’ll have to keep reloading the game
This is so satisfying, i wish it was part of the vanilla game
Hopefully Bethesda is taking notes lol
What I have found with the unmovable objects…is when I download a mod that has them as a building item it randomly allows me to scrap them…I only have the scrap everything mod
I would say if fixing old houses mismatch of material you use to fix house fit well.
Wow, the new House Flipper game looks great XD lol
