Install it, then run to Hangman’s Alley real quick and erase that terrible shack in the settlement’s southeast corner.
#FALLOUT 4 SETTLEMENTS MOD#
This mod goes a step further than Spring Cleaning, allowing you to literally scrap everything, even the major buildings. Personally, I like the challenge of building around the decaying structures and antique trash of the Fallout 4 settlements. It also adds more usable furniture, snappable doors and chainlink fencing, interactive machines like the dessert dispensers see in downtown Boston, and more. As you can see from the photos, it restores the old cars and vehicles seen lying around in Fallout 4, and other static objects like trees and rocks can be used to decorate. Most of the items it uses appear to be assets that were overlooked for Workshop use in the vanilla game’s release.

This is one of the many fine mods that will give you more items to decorate and build with. It can be especially helpful in places like Hangman’s Alley, where literally every last inch of space counts. With it, you can do a little spring cleaning on your settlements, removing trash and clutter objects so there’s more space to work with. Luckily, this mod does just as the name suggests. It defies logistical sense, and I demand more from my post apocalyptic power fantasies. If you want to build a clean, organized greenhouse for your settlements, this is the way to go.ĭo you really think that after over 200 years, people would still be living in a den of trash and filth, refusing so much as to pick up a single rusted tin can? I don’t. The garden plots added in the DLC are nice, but they’re also large and look unsightly on uneven ground (which is basically…all…of the ground). The working planters from Greygardens and Greentop Nursery seemed a no-brainer. If you’re gonna allow the player to re-use art assets to create their own environments, it only makes sense to use everything at your disposal. Honestly, I’m almost pissed that working food planters weren’t included in the original game. This simple tweak adds snappable nodes to the game’s junk fences, allowing a uniform frontline that keeps the bad guys out and the good guys in. This all but ensures that both bullets and enemies can fight or force their way through.Įnter the Snappable Junk Fences mod. It was then that I realized that the fence system in Fallout 4 is a bit of a raw deal: the uneven ground ensures no uniformity with the snappable white picket fencing, and the junk fences don’t fit together. In the past I haven’t been too interested in walls or fences, but after building the mega settlement of Starlight Bazaar, I got bored and started staging fights between enemies summoned by console command and the settlement’s defensive system. A fence that allows Raiders and Mutants to get in is not a defensive boundary it’s a rudely ignored suggestion. What is the point of a fence that has holes? There is no point, correct. Over the long hours spent building your settlement, it’s little things like this that make the difference between sanity and chaos. It also adds a much-needed object rotation system for improved placement options and assigns a few handy hotkeys, for example the Backspace button can be used to undo up to the last ten changes to your settlement. But it can be useful, particularly if you want to build several water purifiers but have no source of water.
This mod may push it a bit by removing all the red zones within your settlement and allowing you to build in the water and air and inside other objects. It’s truly frustrating how arbitrary some of the “no build” spots are, and how much the look and functionality might improve with a few small changes. Without further ado, here are our ten favorite Fallout 4 settlement mods.Ĭount this among my favorite minor settlement mods.
Also some of these mods are not compatible with one another, so be sure to read the installation notes before mix and matching.

PC players, I suggest using Nexus Mod Manager whenever possible. Of course, modding can have some seriously adverse effects on your game, so if you want to use any of these, be sure to back-up your main save files before installing anything. Every “problem” with the system, they have fixed every gaping and glaring omission has been addressed. And while I like to build my settlements “vanilla-style”, crafting ambitious, large-scope projects with only the resourcfes and tools available within the game, the modding community is a veritable Pandora’s Box of improvements, each more tempting than the last. I’m a deep and sometimes beautifully conflicted person, shut up.
