Pro tip, first floor, empty square room on the right (with a broken wall) - you can actually fit Vault 2x2 room in there perfectly with a functioning Vault door. I think of it as a panic room for railroad people.
I am a recent subscriber; I went a more tradition route and rebuilt the interior floor by floor with warehouse floors and barn walls on interior and exterior. I used a concrete pillar and slid the entire thing in the building. I love this though, well done. Hint for anyone who wants to remove the bodies and doesn't have mods. Carry them to another zone, Kingsport, Coastal Cottage, Greentop Nursery. Walk back to Croup and stay near were you removed the body, for several game days. It takes patience, but they won't respawn. Don't take them all to the same place, that sometimes causes a respawn. Also, the ghoul hanging through the rafters can be lifted straight up and carried away. I hope this helps anyone having issues. PS5 player here.
A tip for budget, if you drop weapons that are heavily modified, they reduce the budget by much more than the basic versions. So keep around some weapons that have scope, receiver, barrel, and other mods on them for the best bang for you settlement budget reductions.
На русском будет мутафрукт, в русском языке нет слово mute и судя по всему локализаторы решили дать название соеденив слова мутация и фрукт от чего на русском получается мутафрукт то есть (мутированый фрукт) и тока блогадаря этому видео я понял что в оригинале это молчаливый или немой фрукт, правда молчаливый фрукт звучит странно и как по мне нелогично 😅
@@ДимаЕвдокимов-х5пVery interesting, thank you for sharing. For context, in English I think we are saying MUT fruit as in a shortening of MUTANT fruit. Like a mutated fruit. Although most of their crops are mutated so I’m not quite sure why they singled that one out.
As always, this was a very thoughtful and creative build. I never thought about using Croup as a Minuteman training outpost, but it actually makes a ton of sense given its isolated location: minimal fortification, a single large building, self-contained food source, etc. It sort of lends itself to a support role, as opposed to something like Coastal Cottage, which I usually make a sort of forward base for potential Northeastern threats. I'd be interested to see what you'd do with something unique like Kingsport, (or a real pain in the ass like Sunshine Tidings or Somerville Place,) but I'll be looking forward to your next settlement video wherever it might turn out to be.
I've watched quite a few of your videos and all of them are really well thought out, and great attention to detail. Thanks also for explaining some useful tips as it really helps me out and a amusing fist fight in this episode, You go Rocky ! Nice work Shawzoo.
Just came across your videos recently and binged all your builds. I really love what you're doing with the builds. One of my favourite things about watching these types of videos is the rp/lore people make for their builds. It's been super inspiring, so I'm onto yet another playthrough to do an entirely Commonwealth overhaul. Keep it up!
Wow... I'm stunned once again by your creativity. My favorite trick this video was rebuilding the porch column. Its hard to pick a favorite creative example because there are so many, but I think I vote for the car bed. Pure brilliance!
What a stimulating build! I really enjoyed this and especially your description of it and how you did it. I avoided Croup for a long time because of all the settlers falling off into the ocean behind it. I'm going to head over there right now. Thanks so much.
its a work of art! i remember playing back at release and spending days trying to fix croup manor and ending up giving up in frustration. you did such an amazing job it looks so natural!❤
i also have been repairing up croup manor, it looks generally like yours but literally turned into the fallout scrapyard tony stark avengers compound lmfao… it’s fucking insane now, genuinely such a cool vanilla (all i’ve ever played) fallout 4 build, it’s insane, i’ve done the dropping and storing items bug to restore full capacity like several times 😭 running 14 average fps now, also with 500 hours on fallout id say a third is building 3 bases, sanctuary, my settlers horrible-inn, needs work, croup manor, my iron man compound, and now kingsport lighthouse, right across the lake, for my 2 dozen power armor 😏 my bad for yapping lmao just high, thank you for listening to my ted talk
I dont have the patience to do this in game, but I enjoy watching videos about it. This is the wasteland I want. I kinda wish settlements automatically fixes itself overtime when you have it cleared and settled so theres a sense of progression/development in the world
Great Build, i love the green house and the porch roof! You make me want to get creative with my builds :D Also after watching your videos I tried using the pillar glitch myself and its such a game changer with building ^^
There’s room for an outhouse in the front yard. You could probably squeeze it against the structure of the main house too. Although maybe going out for everyone to see can become a bonding exercise for the trainees at Croup Manor lol. Super inspiring build brother. Thanks for sharing.
Whenever I feel proud of my build, you come along and knock it out of the park …you have given me lots of ideas though 👍 The attention to little details is pretty cool
This is amazing!! All of your additions and decoration were so smart and interesting. It all really fit the fallout style. This was my favorite build yet!
I will be absolutely copying this. I got a lot of inspiration by your red rocket build and it's by far my favorite settlement i ever made. the Slog is next, then this one. You have given me a new addiction, thank you!
another funny and creative cinematic! Your builds are structurally simple, making them easy to follow, while your decorations are highly creative and well-thought out. Too tedious for me to replicate, but I enjoy seeing the possibilities. Keep them coming!
Such an amazing build mate. These videos have inspired me to make a fresh play through with no mods and try out the techniques you employ. Looking forward to the next video, cheers!
That's a pretty neat house. I don't have the patience building much beyond the pure need, not even in my current playthrough where I'm going for the minute man ending and want to turn the commonwealth into a minutman empire. But I'm always fascinated at what others are able to create with the unmodded game, absolutely spectacular! Btw, I always called it a mud-fruit too. I've heard it called a mute-fruit, sure, and haven't thourght more about it. But I have always called it a mud-fruit, and that's what I'm going to keep calling it. People want to say mute-fruit, they ca, I'm not going to 'correct' them. People get angry or spend energy on wanting to correct me because I sat mud-fruit - I just cannot be bothered.
You're creations in fallout are beautyfull and becuse of the glitches i learned from you're videos all of my fallout setlements are so much better looking, thank you👍
I think this is my favorite build of yours. It really sucks that they can't use the elevator, it looks so cool but I'm stealing this idea and going to just use a stair case I guess. Love it
2:20 I've been playing since 2015 and that wall with the blue plywood bit has always been notorious for not letting things snap. Shame they never patched it. 15:15 You'd be surprised how many people I've heard use the term "mutt" fruit instead of "mute" fruit. You are most certainly not alone. Nice job on this build.
I always love seeing how you work around the frankly awful limitations the building mode has in this game. and its all stuff that has never been fixed despite how many workshop dlcs. Im always astounded how they never added in a free build mode, even as more broken dlc.
I really enjoy your FO4 settlement build videos. I like how you incorporate the junk and cars etc. around the settlements into your builds, instead of just scrapping everything (like I usually do :P). I would like to see how you fix up the house in Tenpines Bluff.
I’m actually not a fan of junky builds but yours are just different. The dedication, the innovation, the practical use of damned near everything… You do great work! Subbed! 👍🏾✌🏾👊🏽
Great Job! Ive recently picked up the game again and altho i previously fixed up these houses (Jamacia plains was my favourite) you have taken it to the next level! I really CBA to fill my places with junk, but after seeing your vids, its a definate must!
Great job. Not sure I’ve got the patience to place all those bits n bobs. I’ve always pronounced mutfruit the way you did. I’ll definitely be following your lead on fixing the roof that way. Thanx mate.
Great build as always mate, with your attention to detail and time just awesome. Great back story with the basement, but I remember there was a glowing one down there, would have been a good fist fight lol!!
Scrap everything would help get rid of the piles of trash and clutter. It really helps clean everything up. i know you said your not using MODS, but scrap everything just helps clean things up more than the base game will allow. I am defiantly subscribing now though .
I'm definitely going use this build as a guide for my own game never once thought of using the ol pillar glitch for fixing up houses, I only used it for junk fences! I'm also mildly embarrassed that I too have said mutt fruit for almost 10 years now lol , Anywho love your videos man. Cheers.
Another quality build as per usual; I do have a recommendation though. With the top greenhouse I think it would have looked cool with bathtubs and tables use for the food. If you get a mat, and put half of it over another then pillar glitch into the bath, then do the same pillar glitch with food makes a settlement feel more “natural” I feel over the planters. Even though you’d think 200yrs plus after the bombs civilization would have advances some what
I got no patients or creativity to bother with the settlement building system of Fallout 4. I've just been playing it like any other Fallout game and just do quests, explore and loot stuff. I will only set up food, water and defense and pretty much ignore the settlement forever. Always amazing to see players in the Fallout 4 community who focus on the settlement system and are able to build amazing bases.
Very nice. If you use the ceiling and floor combo piece in place of one of the roof top pieces in the room you rebuilt, you can have floors above where you could snap the railings to instead of having to put them in manually. Minor detail though.
I always loved rebuilding Croup Manor, definitely a home away from home. This is a fantastic build and out of context you would think it was a a typical settlement you come across in-game. Curious to see what you come up with for The Castle, if a build like that is on the cards.
Just in case you didn’t know, a feature I love is that with the barn add on I think you can get actual outhouses to use as toilets with the proper moon cut out on the door and what not, I believe the settlers actually sit on it too! I think it’s the add on with the barn, not sure what one though I’ve only ever bought all of them together
I love watching how people solve problems and their different solutions, really cool. I Love the greenhouse on top, it makes sense as you say with the sunlight, and as heat goes up, any heating done in the house will collect up there instead of escaping out making it heating more efficient. I imagine its a hangout spot too for some settlers to come enjoy the view, heath and plant life. But, if I may give constructive criticism, one thing that these kind of videos often fail considering is how you would actually fortify a place according to the lay of the land. You would never build a wall going around and to the house like you did when you sheer cliff walls on three sides, you would focus on simply blocking of the open side. Nature already provided you with walls on 4 sides, why build worse walls away fro the edge that would allow raiders a path around the wall so they can attack from any side? No, if you had a surplus and really wanted a wall all around you would build it along the cliff edge, so the walls extends the natural walls of the cliff edge. But the primary effort would be on building solid walls on the open side where the fence already where. It kinda break the suspension of disbelief seeing builds like this where its like the settlers where idiots when it came to effectively building defenses when it realistically would be one of their primary concerns and something they would take great care with. Imagine Helms Deep but instead of a wall between the two cliff edges they build a standard castle with walls all around and the orcs could walk around the whole thing. Consider the strategic and tactical situation of being attacked and how to most efficiently build defenses!
Hey, nice build! Unless something has changed NPCs cannot use elevators or anything that requires a switch. If you want them to actually go to the top level, you’ll need to add some stairs.
You should do Vault 88 as a special series. Vault 88 is my Achilles’ heel. The vault structure is a beast to work with. I always end up just turning it into a Hangman’s Alley kind of layout.
Great rebuild. If you have the dlc you could assign robots to the greenhouse, just build them up there or take them up the elevator. Problem is I think they decrease happiness.
croup man or was always such a challenge for me because of how run down it was. I ended up turning it into a raider camp where the leaders of the raider gangs would stay when they visit the commonwealth
Brilliant build! I love watching you work your magic. Don’t worry about pronunciation so much. I’ve always known it was mute fruit but call them mutt fruit instead. I just like mutt fruit better.
It all looks great ! I myself can't leave junk and messes . My ocd kicks in and I'm all about cleanup. I actually wish I could make it look a bit more realistic.
Great job especially without mods and didn't know about that glitch to get the settlement budget to reset sorta....but I just use mods. Place Everywhere is a must have so no need for the post, and so many nice mods that can help build up a place and get rid of the rubble...cuz come on, in the real world someone pushing a broom can't seem to get the rubble off the floor, we know that would be the first to get picked up because seems there's some wood boards that could be repurposed and in a realistic world people wouldn't leave dirt and rubble laying around if they are going to fix a place up. Yeah, it's just a game and this is how you must do when building without mods....and I love building in here and fixing up the commonwealth. Cool to know how to do this without mods for those that don't or can't have mods.
New sub here 👋 I've racked up over 5k hours since release across 3 platforms (one of my 'comfort games') 😅 and your builds remind me of NoRespawns, one of the OG FO4 builders! Never really bothered with Croup Manor, but am wanting to do another Kaylee Frye (Firefly ❤) mechanic RP and the glass rooftop area would make a fantastic workshop for her! 😊🔨🔧
I like Croup Manor myself, holes be dammed. I usually just put in floor pieces and use Wood Misc to make 'fencing' to guide the NPC guards to their post. The devs should have included the basement in workshop mode. I recently deleted an L35 character to begin anew but I forgot exactly why I did that. I'm going to reference this video whenever I get around to playing again. The new d character is getting restarted as I scrapped Trifold flags, and I'm going to do what you do; keep the original stuff when possible.
While it has the potential, the pathways for settlers is horr8ble here and at night when they’re supposed to sleep, none of them know where the beds are inside the house so they stand around doing nothing. Also, the ghouls already about and dead will always respawn back where they were so closing floor holes where one hangs will glitch through it. But the build is neat in this video.
decades of me tweaking out trying to trying to build at croup just to watch this guy fix it in
not one sane person would dare to scrap the motorcycle by the side of the house
@@azzaqirin funny thing is I prepped that whole site about 2 years ago 😂...everything was scrapped basically except that bike 😃
There's a mod that provides you with much nicer, brand new condition motorcycles.
This makes me think of when i first played, i thought the giddy up buttercup parts would combine into a rideable mechahorse like red dead redemption 😢
Excellent build, man! The car bed area in particular is a stroke of genius, and rigging the light to the motorcycle is utterly brilliant
absolute ...
was gonna comment the same. ingenious stuff.
You're like the Bob Ross of settlement building. Amazing work and relaxing to listen to. Keep it up!
Pro tip, first floor, empty square room on the right (with a broken wall) - you can actually fit Vault 2x2 room in there perfectly with a functioning Vault door. I think of it as a panic room for railroad people.

It can corrupt your game too
I call them Mutt fruit as well. I just can't pronounce them correctly. Amazing as always.
На русском будет мутафрукт, в русском языке нет слово mute и судя по всему локализаторы решили дать название соеденив слова мутация и фрукт от чего на русском получается мутафрукт то есть (мутированый фрукт) и тока блогадаря этому видео я понял что в оригинале это молчаливый или немой фрукт, правда молчаливый фрукт звучит странно и как по мне нелогично 😅

I always thought it was mute fruit, although I’ve never heard anyone else say it lol
I’ve done the same for aaaages, always said Mutt
@@Hezon1 There is in game dialogue where it is pronounced as "mute" fruit.
The ball tracks as wall renforcement is genius I'm definitely going to be using that
So many building tricks that I consistently forget about; well done!
I'm obsessed with your patches and fixes of preexisting structures. The porch roof fix was👌💕
I've been doing almost all rooftop greenhouses now for any place with limited space. I just love the efficiency and more room for fun stuff.
As always, this was a very thoughtful and creative build. I never thought about using Croup as a Minuteman training outpost, but it actually makes a ton of sense given its isolated location: minimal fortification, a single large building, self-contained food source, etc. It sort of lends itself to a support role, as opposed to something like Coastal Cottage, which I usually make a sort of forward base for potential Northeastern threats. I'd be interested to see what you'd do with something unique like Kingsport, (or a real pain in the ass like Sunshine Tidings or Somerville Place,) but I'll be looking forward to your next settlement video wherever it might turn out to be.
I'm very envious of people having the ability to properly decorate settlements in fo4. Mine's very bland in comparison.
You can drop certain scrap and it will work as decorations like food or typewriters and press ctrl when picking them up to turn them
I've watched quite a few of your videos and all of them are really well thought out, and great attention to detail. Thanks also for explaining some useful tips as it really helps me out and a amusing fist fight in this episode, You go Rocky ! Nice work Shawzoo.
Thanks mate 🤙
the best sleeping thing i´d ever seen in settlements is this by u in the rusty car ... great idea brother , luv this . thanks 4 inspirations .
I have no Idea how Shawzy knew I needed one of his videos today. What a great start to the weekend! Everyone have a great weekend!
Your attention to detail is impeccable! I love all your creative ideas but the motorcycle is my absolute favorite 🤩
Just came across your videos recently and binged all your builds. I really love what you're doing with the builds.

I’m 200 hours into my Survival playthrough unmodded and this stuff is really great inspiration 😄
its a work of art! i remember playing back at release and spending days trying to fix croup manor and ending up giving up in frustration. you did such an amazing job it looks so natural!❤
Damn I have never seen Croup Manor seen fixed up that neat. It looks fantastic
i also have been repairing up croup manor, it looks generally like yours but literally turned into the fallout scrapyard tony stark avengers compound lmfao… it’s fucking insane now, genuinely such a cool vanilla (all i’ve ever played) fallout 4 build, it’s insane, i’ve done the dropping and storing items bug to restore full capacity like several times 😭 running 14 average fps now, also with 500 hours on fallout id say a third is building 3 bases, sanctuary, my settlers horrible-inn, needs work, croup manor, my iron man compound, and now kingsport lighthouse, right across the lake, for my 2 dozen power armor 😏 my bad for yapping lmao just high, thank you for listening to my ted talk
Would love to see a little bit more of the process of decorating too, even if you don't narrate it until the wallthrough
I absolutely LOVE the engineer's sleeping quarters inside the car - such a good idea!
this is my favorite Croup Manor fix. Doesn't use a lot of complicated glitches and no mods! Top notch. Please do Jamaica Plains next!
I love that you weave the gameplay into the build. Very unique! Would be a shame not to go into the basement. Well done!
Croup Manor is such an incredible build. I love how easily everything comes together.
watching you fix up this ruins is strangely soothing. Makes me want to pick up my own copy and try to build some settlement
I dont have the patience to do this in game, but I enjoy watching videos about it. This is the wasteland I want. I kinda wish settlements automatically fixes itself overtime when you have it cleared and settled so theres a sense of progression/development in the world
6:57 that wire over the windows is really clever!
Great Build, i love the green house and the porch roof!
You make me want to get creative with my builds :D
Also after watching your videos I tried using the pillar glitch myself and its such a game changer with building ^^
There’s room for an outhouse in the front yard. You could probably squeeze it against the structure of the main house too. Although maybe going out for everyone to see can become a bonding exercise for the trainees at Croup Manor lol.
Super inspiring build brother. Thanks for sharing.
wow, the attention to detail in your build is outstanding
I've watched a few videos. I would describe your design style as Road Warrior Chic. Well done.
Great builds across the commonwealth. I really like the grittiness and realism you add to them. You gave me some ideas to work with. Thanks
Whenever I feel proud of my build, you come along and knock it out of the park …you have given me lots of ideas though 👍
The attention to little details is pretty cool
This is amazing!! All of your additions and decoration were so smart and interesting. It all really fit the fallout style. This was my favorite build yet!
Currently really sick with pneumonia and I'm Binge watching your settlement builds. Good stuff and thanks!!!!
Thanks for the reminder on the build budget glitch. It's been years!
Never even knew about the pillar technique. And your cinematography is solid as hell. Great video 😊
I will be absolutely copying this. I got a lot of inspiration by your red rocket build and it's by far my favorite settlement i ever made. the Slog is next, then this one. You have given me a new addiction, thank you!
I never really know what to do with the roof, but that’s a great idea!

bro ur chad af for showing these glitches i played this game over 3k hrs n never knew half of them cause i use mods
I think this is my favorite build of yours. It really sucks that they can't use the elevator, it looks so cool but I'm stealing this idea and going to just use a stair case I guess. Love it
I always thought your budget was self imposed. Thanks for the heads up!
2:20 I've been playing since 2015 and that wall with the blue plywood bit has always been notorious for not letting things snap. Shame they never patched it.

Great build as always mate, with your attention to detail and time just awesome. Great back story with the basement, but I remember there was a glowing one down there, would have been a good fist fight lol!!
雑然としていながら美しい、素晴らしい改装ですね。
It's a cluttered, and beautiful manor. What a great renovation!
Wasteland contractor. So cool to see. Great build ❤️

I think it’s the add on with the barn, not sure what one though I’ve only ever bought all of them together
*dlc not add on
Love the ambience! The nature sounds realpy add to the build

Amazed at the detail. Everything looks like it belongs 👍🏻
Amazing as always. Must have taken so many hours to decorate it this well.
Don't stop malimg these. Your builds keep me coming back
The mutfruits on the floor of the planters is crazy detail
Hey, nice build! Unless something has changed NPCs cannot use elevators or anything that requires a switch. If you want them to actually go to the top level, you’ll need to add some stairs.
You should do Vault 88 as a special series. Vault 88 is my Achilles’ heel. The vault structure is a beast to work with. I always end up just turning it into a Hangman’s Alley kind of layout.
Great rebuild. If you have the dlc you could assign robots to the greenhouse, just build them up there or take them up the elevator. Problem is I think they decrease happiness.
croup man or was always such a challenge for me because of how run down it was. I ended up turning it into a raider camp where the leaders of the raider gangs would stay when they visit the commonwealth
Brilliant build! I love watching you work your magic. Don’t worry about pronunciation so much. I’ve always known it was mute fruit but call them mutt fruit instead. I just like mutt fruit better.
Nice video as always! Im sad that I scrapped that car in the front already that was a cool idea
This masterpiece was my favorite so far, well done!👍
Great use of the plants and the generator under the bike and car and well so much else as usual
It all looks great ! I myself can't leave junk and messes . My ocd kicks in and I'm all about cleanup. I actually wish I could make it look a bit more realistic.
Looks great man, I was ready to fix croup manor up for my personal home but the respawning ghoul bodies has put me off
Awesome build man. Love the lift!
You should have a crack at no mans sky. Base building is superb in that
Great job especially without mods and didn't know about that glitch to get the settlement budget to reset sorta....but I just use mods. Place Everywhere is a must have so no need for the post, and so many nice mods that can help build up a place and get rid of the rubble...cuz come on, in the real world someone pushing a broom can't seem to get the rubble off the floor, we know that would be the first to get picked up because seems there's some wood boards that could be repurposed and in a realistic world people wouldn't leave dirt and rubble laying around if they are going to fix a place up. Yeah, it's just a game and this is how you must do when building without mods....and I love building in here and fixing up the commonwealth. Cool to know how to do this without mods for those that don't or can't have mods.
I call them mutt fruit too, lol. Nice build as usual.👍
New sub here 👋 I've racked up over 5k hours since release across 3 platforms (one of my 'comfort games') 😅 and your builds remind me of NoRespawns, one of the OG FO4 builders!
Never really bothered with Croup Manor, but am wanting to do another Kaylee Frye (Firefly ❤) mechanic RP and the glass rooftop area would make a fantastic workshop for her! 😊🔨🔧
His builds do bring back that nostalgic feeling of the early days of norespawns.
Such an amazing build bro!!
You have great content!
I like Croup Manor myself, holes be dammed. I usually just put in floor pieces and use Wood Misc to make 'fencing' to guide the NPC guards to their post. The devs should have included the basement in workshop mode. I recently deleted an L35 character to begin anew but I forgot exactly why I did that. I'm going to reference this video whenever I get around to playing again. The new d character is getting restarted as I scrapped Trifold flags, and I'm going to do what you do; keep the original stuff when possible.
While it has the potential, the pathways for settlers is horr8ble here and at night when they’re supposed to sleep, none of them know where the beds are inside the house so they stand around doing nothing. Also, the ghouls already about and dead will always respawn back where they were so closing floor holes where one hangs will glitch through it. But the build is neat in this video.
Man yours looks way better than mine, another banger!
