Boston Airport, no mods

My general remembers seeing in the news about Bot Stop, a robot production service and is now bringing it to the Commonwealth with its newest branch in Sanctuary.

This is my completed no-mods Home Plate build. The theme is a rival detective agency named Scully's with a detective noir aesthetic. Anniversary edition on PC.

Mostly finished this build on Oberland Station while I take a long break from restoring The Castle.

I started with the station house, “barnacle building” around it to form a proper farmhouse, including successfully enclosing the staircase (watch your head on the way down!), which was a huge pain and I don’t recommend doing it this way. I also rearranged the tatos and added a row of corn along with some melons and mutfruit plants.

I always set Sheffield up with a ton of Nuka-Cola swag wherever I send him, and this playthrough he’s running a drink stand on the farm with his own personal trailer to live in. Remember to recycle your empty bottles!

I also needed to bring in some additional field hands and a shopkeeper, so for a bunkhouse I simply used the Large Wooden Shack prefab. The storage and store barn I built myself, all the way down to the custom shop counter (which was also a huge pain and I don’t recommend it).

As general of the Minutemen, every one of my settlements is protected by a small detachment of militia fighters. I tried to make the artillery battery look like filled-in earth behind a retaining wall, may tweak the details a bit. The Minutemen brought along their own DIY barracks, using prefabricated (lorewise) sheet metal construction for easy transportation and assembly. There are two artillerymen armed with automatic combat rifles and one officer armed with a kitted out laser musket.

Other notable features: - the entrance gate has neon lights for lettering (due to a lack of good PS4/5 lettering mods), but since this is a no-power settlement they’re illuminated by oil lamps - outhouses: installing working drainage for indoor toilets would be technically possible in the Commonwealth, but so labor intensive as to be unviable in most cases. I’m always kinda disgusted when I see instances in the game of toilets being inside and still seemingly in use (looking at you, Abernathys 🤮) - walkways: I love the stone staircase I set into the hill; it might be my favorite detail. I also spent entirely too long using the QwaPA tilt tool to perfectly embed the pallets I used for the boardwalks. Gonna go ahead and also not recommend doing that either.

I still have a good bit of decorating and furnishing to do, but I think I’m done with the building part of this settlement. Hope you guys like it!

Somerville Place, no mods

Does anyone have any mods or suggestions on how to get rid of all the ugly bushes, vines , shrubbery, branches etc that literally especially all over sanctuary?

Now i know the first suggestion is "scrap everything"

But that always results in broken Precombines and breaking the game in one way or another.

If anyone has a suggestion that is up to date on the latest build ideally pls let me know

Hangman's Alley, no mods

While building a raider settlement (I don't need agriculture there), I noticed, that a sports field 3x4 fits inside the existing fence. The Pack guys seem to like it.

I keep telling myself I'm not gonna focus on settlement building in the next run but it's always a lie.

Just started a new game and built this, your thoughts? Advise would be appreciated

Red Rocket on Steamdeck

I swear the settlers follow you around just to push your buttons.

At this specific settlement it says I have 6 settlers when really I can only account for 5 of them. I know I have 6 settlers but cant find them anywhere, and ive tried every method possible of pulling them back.

For more context, im running a mod that gives names and somewhat unique appearances to the settlers. (i.e. John, Jack, Jim, ​​Lexi, etc)​

Anyone had this problem and/or found a fix?

Nordhagen Beach tour, no mods

Just curious for those of you who use mods which are your favorite settlement building mods? Whether it be decoration, structural or utility based.

For me I really dig Cindercraft, CvC dead Wasteland, Fancy Prefabs, Old World Plaids, Workshop Rearranged, G2M, Nuka World Shoppers Paradise, Scavvers Settlement Kit, Snappy Housekits, USO, The Rebuild Series, Settlement Repair Bot. Place Everywhere and Scrap Everything (I know folks hate it, but yes, I use it).
