- In this video I show you how to repair the houses in Sanctuary by using the "rug glitch" to add ceilings, plug holes in the walls and add doors. Following these steps will make the Sanctuary houses much more appealing to live in.

**IF THIS DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU**
If the walls and roofs are red and don't' ever turn green no matter what you try, it may be because you're using a mod that allows you to scrap everything in your settlements. Mods like this prevent the group select feature from working properly. So you must temporarily disable the mod while you're using this technique. If you are not using any mods, then it's possible you're doing the technique wrong. This technique still works on all platforms as of the date of this post.
Thank You for your work & effort 🙂 Who would have guessed that several years later all these FO4 videos would make a STRONG Come-Back? Well Done indeed! 🙂
I don't use mods and your example doesn't work for me... tried rug glitch, pillar glitch... everything
How you found any other way to do it?
not all roofs for example, fix so easy some you have to make an entire second floor for these glitch fixes to cover it and go green this is why everyone who does these videos uses the house that's easy to fix for their demo's.
8+ years later, and this is helping a whole new group of folks playing Fallout since the show aired!!
It’s not working for me
60 fps gang
I cant do it
Same here, lol. Just started playing for the first time.
Do you have the scrap anywhere mod? That mod will make this impossible
Finally Nate/Nora can live in their old house without fear of turning into a peoplesicle for Christmas.
And here i been using paintings for plugging up the holes in the wall lol
I did that too. Makes my house stand out in the neighborhood and gives pedestrians art to appreciate.
Yeah me too 🤦♂️
Thats what I do lol
And flags as curtains hahah
Lol
I really wish that when fallout 4 was originally made, with sanctuary they would have added:
1) ability to delete all standing buildings in sanctuary
2) delete everything deletable at once
3) an undo function
They have mods for PS4 that cam delete anything and clean up settlements, in fact.
@@GhostCell47 can you say their name please?
@@ArtunErkin Scrap that Settlement.
Scrap That Settlement doesn't completely scrap everything in your settlements though.
Place Everywhere should be in the base game. Makes like so easy.
7 years later and still been useful, thanks a lot!
I follow a couple other channels about building and repairing in Fallout 4 but sometimes they over complicate things. Your video was easy to follow, short and to the point. Thank you!
I just decided to play again F4, this time as a female character and after watching this video I was going to write the same comment as Yours, Patricia :) So, instead of full comment, only two thumbs up! :)
7 years later I am still building Sanctuary in F4. Playing second time, now lot of building going on, lots of resources and different gameplay. 🙂👍🏻
I like these repairs. I wish the game had building repair functions available considering one of the Minutemen quest lines is rebuilding Sanctuary.
Right? It almost feels like a punishment 😲
To anyone confused why the floor doesn't snap to the 2nd floor, you need to select "shack upper floor" instead of "shack floor".
This is not the first video I've seen using this glitch; but it has some of, if not, the best demonstrations I have seen. They are methodical with ample explanations without being tedious. Also, it seems like a small thing, but it is nice for people on different platforms that you don't just name the buttons you mention what they are primarily used for.
One last thing, I don't know if it is useful information or not. However on my first playthrough, before learning about all the various tricks and building glitches, I learned something while trying out different ideas to patch and/or build on top of the houses in Sanctuary Hills. If one climbs up on a roof or closely looks through some of the holes from inside there is a a metal frame in the roof for each house, and one right above the ceiling tiles separated by a space slightly higher than the thickness of the shack ground floor. Through experimentation I found each set of frames has its own collision mesh, so with a steady hand and *a lot* of patience, one can place thin objects and building pieces between them.
That was also how my first character (made the first week after release, so everyone was still trying things out) fixed the roofs in Sanctuary and made all their interiors count as sheltered areas for beds, etc... I made rectangular sections out of the corrugated tin roofs in the wood set (they are the same as the ones used in the wooden pre-fabs) and then used the multi-select feature to more or less thread the section in that space so it would sit on the frame above the pre-existing ceiling panels.
As stated I don't know how useful this is, as the method you showed is so much quicker and blocks the sunlight and the falling rain effect. better since, as demonstrated in the video, the floors can be stacked using the rug glitch. Still, I thought someone might find it interesting.
I couldn't agree more :)
I’ve always found it interesting that you can scrap glass but not fit any kind of windows
ive watched this information on 5 other channels but for some reason your video strikes me as the easiest to follow. thanks a lot
I'm really late I just started playing this and this really help me a lot thank you
slim minne lol dude same!
I always wondered if anyone was able to fix up one of these houses, and here you are to show me it is possible.
Why there is no "fix houses" quest for some high amount of material, people (without work) and time as part of the vanilla game ?.... shame.
Thank you for this. This is actually what i wanted to do but didnt know how :)
Isador what’s the vanilla game?
@@awesomeentertainment977 When people say vanilla, they're referring to a game that doesn't have any mods installed. Vanilla fallout 4 would be fallout 4 without any external mods installed.
Great tutorial! As someone else commented, I was using paintings to cover holes. Never heard of the rug glitch, but I'll be using it tonight. Thanks for the great video! :)
YOU ARE SO HELPFUL THANK YOU. I know these are older videos but I have been totally hopeless with building lately and you've given me so much inspiration!!
Thank you! I'm glad you're finding them useful.
I’ve been playing this game for years and just gave up hope with the ceilings. This was easy to follow and holy crap worked first time. Thank you !
Not having the repair option in the game for holes in the ceilings and walls is aggravating. So this is nice to know. Thanks!
one way to keep Preston out of my household.
I run to concord, kill the raiders, enter the building where Preston is, kill the raiders, run right passed Preston for the bobble head and the power armor, he says "really your just gonna walk away" lol Preston I just killed a town of raiders and cleared your building solo while 5 of you hid in a room yes im just gonna walk away.
@@smcfadden1992 I admire that!
I use the locking mod to keep him out lol
Find your OWN damn Bed, Villagers! 😀
I put a Powered Door connected to a switchbox in front of a room with a Loot Chest, then you can flick the switch off to lock the door(everytime you are done storing/resting,etc) and keep these villagers away from your loot. Just do NOT put the loot box up against a wall or the sneaky villagers WILL grab your loot through said wall from the outside.
Just liked and subscribed; incredibly helpful and will make my settlement so much cooler and wasteland dovahkiin is the perfect name
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Trying to find a way to put doors on buildings has frustrated me beyond measure! (I'm new to the whole building settlements from ground up) this has been sooo helpful! Thank you, again. ❤️🙏
Revisiting this game over Christmas. The Vault Dweller has been sitting on the roof of the Workshop house with a drink beside him for five years. Thought I'd fix up the settlements. This is good info. Thanks
Watching this extremely helpful guide in 2024! 😊
I just used the same method, to fix the roof on Taffington boathouse. Thank you!!!! I have been looking for a way to do this.
That was great. All those messed up houses and not being able to fix them up in a game that encourages you to fix stuff up! With a building program in the vanilla game! Jeebus. Thank you much, this is so satisfying.
I'm glad I found this video again! I forgot how to do this and have been struggling with these houses. I think my OCs will be quite busy re-building for a while now, thankyou!
WOW !!! THANK YOU FOR THE "RUG TIP". Now Imma go straighten ALL MY CROOKED HOUSES. HAHAHA
Thank you Good Lady for a great video! I'm fixing the house that they (Shaun /family) lived before the world .
especially the ceiling
Thanks for the video. I never minded the walls too much, but I did wish I could put in more doors, and make the roofs look like they'd actually be able to protect the interior from rain.
thank you! I was struggling with how to do this again. and your explanintion is straight forward no over complicating anything. Thank you!
You're literally my superstar after starting Fallout 4. Tips, tricks and inspiration, and the best voice by far to complete the whole package 😋
Im glad UA-cam recommended this video im playing fallout 4 for the first time and im trying to rebuild sanctuary thanks for the tips 👍
No one else has explained this well enough thank you
Just getting into the game and this explanation was much easier to follow than a lot of other videos with similar themes. Still wish the mechanism allowed you to patch holes more easily. Maybe an option to paint over the walls after. Oh well - core gameplay and storyline outside the settlement stuff is still interesting at least. Feels like there's so much the game doesn't tell you which admittedly is something I'm not used to with most modern games.
Great video. Im happy to know theres a way to do this without mods. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
I love that your showing this with the x box controller, which is what I use. Also if you don’t know, the warehouse doors kinda work on the houses here and any other old houses I’ve found. They open and close although there’s still a bit of a gap I just tell myself my settlers aren’t good carpenters
I have to try this trick. I was trying to renovate Sanctuary last night and it is so frustrating with the busted houses. I gave up and went to the castle. lol Love the video!
LogicalITS this did not work for me. When I held the X down it went stupid. Threw my whole structure up in the air and I never could place it. Makes no sense. 🤯
Repairing Croup Manor, and this came in handy. Already knew how to do upper floors using a pillar.
I know this video is a year old but I just wanted to leave a message to say u are honestly amazing are great I've played the game for almost three years and considered my self a pro then u come in teach me all of these new glitchs so thank u
Great video, I know what I'll spend my next week doing
lol
OH my, you can't imagine how glad I am I found your video. Clean, straight to the point, and you explain really well! Finally I can fix my ugly ass neighborhood lmao They should let you delete the "usable" houses too, like even the shacks look better lol So thanks a lot! *w*
5:03 mmmm all the holes are plugged...giggity
8:34 It might take a little bit of work to get it in there just right.
You awesome I have been struggling withg with this eye sore for a while now !!! Thanks
Hal
With your method and some time to measure things nicely, you can use the barn elements from the Far Harbor dlc to get roof done as well. Thanks for the nice video. I've got few hundreds hours in game, yet I've never used this exploit to repair my walls.
thank you so much this is going to make my playthrough so much easier I hate spending hours building but I want my sanctuary to at least be ok for the few I have living there
Thanks for the video, you've explained it quite well.
Thanks for properly explaining how to do this lol.. those houses do my head in so I can fix em now :)
Great video will definitely be trying this on my Settlements.
8 years later, and this is still getting mileage, thank you, trying to figure out how to fix the roofs was driving me mad.
If you're on PC (don't know about consoles) there's a mod called 'place everywhere' which allows you to basically build anything anywhere ;)
this was an awesome vid, will be wasting hours tonight fixing up the town
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! Sanctuary will look a LOT better for me now haha
You can delete the wall and not have to move it, or leave it in the wall
This isn’t working for me, does anyone have any tips? I bring the parts in on the rug but it won’t let me place it, regardless of whether or not the space is clear for the rug
Thanks for the tips I cant stop playing this
Yo this video really helped a lot I used it to fix the main houses in sanctuary
Thank you for this, saved me a lot of frustration!
im that kind of guy who cant sleep if my walls or roof or floor doesn’t lay down properly to surfaces
Ive been trying to figure out how to use the rug glitch and bro you solved it
Bethesda must've done something in an update that changed this... I recently started playing Fallout 4 again and this technique is something I learned from this same video back in 2016, but I just can't get it to work now.
Yeah I think they patched it
I just did it last night. It's REALLY picky. Even in the video above (from 2016) you can see the selected parts turning green/red/green as she carries it across the road to the house. Even a pile of leaves might be enough to make your rug clip. Try in a different corner of the room maybe?
Thing is these are modeled after the Lustron houses which being prefabricated homes were extremely modular by nature meaning that panels and framing from one should fit neatly and cleanly onto every other one. Panels don't even need to be room specific so it would have made sense with the junk houses that were only good to scrap for Bugthesda to instead allow you to salvage them to repair the others.
Hmm I appreciate the video but for some reason I can't group the objects with the mat and I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right. Did they patch it out so it won't work anymore?
Interesting. For me it is interesting and new, because I've never done something like that in Fallout 4. I just had fun with guns, you know.
2022 this is still useful, thank you!!
Wow! That easy huh?!?! I been restarting for 8 years now🤦🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️😭.. GREAT TUTORIAL!!💣🤯🔥
Your creative, very smart:) Ty very much! I hope you continued with your content.
If the roof could be removed and salvaged, the connection points of your ceiling modification you do might allow a new roof if my thinking is correct. At least in theory, it would sure look better than the original rotten roof.
Oh you're actually fixing the house
I thought this was a mod spotlight.
Still a pretty good video tho, keep goin.
nice. thanks for explaining how to fix the walls and roofs.
You can take those "ceilings" out once permanently installed them. If you accidentally screw up or whatever. Just build a platform next to the house at the same level, then use several rugs to connect the two and pull the entire thing out.
Very helpful. Thanks for making this.
you have just made my day! thank you!!
Very helpful thanks. I'll get to work on doing this
I can absolutely, positively, affirm that I have never heard the term "rug glitch". That's why I stopped by.
As today is the Infamous Next Gen Update Day ( mark my words, it won't go well) I hope I have time to use this - those houses need more TLC than my real one.
So far (in the fortnight I've had the game) I've been recuilding the houses I can clear in the Art Deco style, in concrete. I had to find a mod that gave me concrete, but I suspect mods will be locked out for a while.
Very good instruction! Thanks a lot!
You can do the same thing with a light pole instead of a rug. The benefit is that you can adjust the height/sink into the ground.
Thanks! Wanted to live in my old house.
Yeah unfortunately I can’t get this to work for me. I’ve tried several tutorial videos including yours and it simply does not work for me. I don’t have that kind of time to keep fussing over these houses so I’ll just use mods. This is a really well done tutorial video though and I’m sure it works for others. Your tutorial was definitely the easiest to understand. Thank you
If you're using a mod that allows you to scrap everything in a settlement, it will interfere with this trick and make it not work. So you'll have to disable your mod temporarily.
@@WastelandDovahkiin I’m not using that mod. I don’t know why it isn’t working for me. I don’t have any mods that mess with Sanctuary specifically but thank you for reaching out and trying to help.
Really helped me a lot! Thank you!
Thank youuu! I'm doing a modless run for the first time in a long time and the state of these houses always annoys me!
Just a point to make. I don’t know if it’s just an xbox feature but, i can manage fit a door in the existing door frame of the house. It actually clips to the frame.
it works for the main characters house, on others, it doesnt work and you need to use some doors, others do not work, it is tricky tbh
Great tutorial, def doing this!
Thank you so much for this. I know how to put doors on but I can't figure out how to fix the roof or walls 😅❤
Wow thank you so much I really worries me when it storms on the rads get us and dam we have been living like cave men this is so better ty
Thats really impressive . Thanks for the tip , cheers
This vid deserves a "Like"
Nice video, well eplained. Many thanks
I never understood your name when I found you about a year ago, now that I am touching Skyrim I have one thing to say.
FUS RO DAH!
Great video…sucks here in the next gen update and for the life of me I can’t get that to work for some reason idk but used to work when I did this years ago
Great video. Thank you so much!!!
Fantastic guide. Those hole in the walls really bug me.
Very nice! Thanks for a great video!
Unfortunatelly, no matter how high you stack your roofs, it will rain through. Even if you put foundation cubes up there, it will still appear as if it rains through, because everything gets wet.
Very well done!
Your video was very helpful! Thank you! ^^
Great vid!
you are awesome I have been trying to figure that out since I got the game
awesome . just what I was looking for
