I'm just waiting for a decoration mod, every Bethesda game gets one. They let you turn the physics off items and let you position them precisely, which is perfect for making your buildings look lived in by letting you put junk items wherever you feel.

Without it the physics go wacky whenever you load into an area and all the items you painstakingly placed fall off tables and clip into the ground. The fact the game lets you put down shelving is a pretty big joke considering this is a bug that's eternally present in all their games

Everything I have painstakingly placed on my shelves has all remained right where it's supposed to be. Except for the space monkey. loving space monkey will not stay on the toilet.

I'm trying to get the Settlement Expansion bat file to work correctly. I'm following the dude's instructions (go to workshop, bring up console, select workshop, bat settlement) but it just isn't expanding a loving thing. It worked in Sanctuary just fine but damnit I want my swamp fortress!!

I need a mod that gets rid of the little half second delay when zooming in with scoped weapons. Got me killed twice because of it.

Also, we need more guns in this game. like a lot more. Like Millennia needs to get on this poo poo now and start porting over his New Vegas work.

Does anyone know how to ungib yourself?

Ok strange question I know. I was flying around that steel plant in noclip because I wanted to test and see how far I could lob a grenade into a Gunner camp. Anyway I had godmode on too (God it's fun for loving around) so when I turned clipping back on... I fell into the smokestack and into some... lava? Molten metal? I don't know, but it's obviously supposed to gib you. Only with godmode on, I got gibs trapped inside me that peek out like bloody tumors in all my clothes and a big one in the skull the blocks the camera when I try to sneak.

I was hoping the problem would correct itself but it has not.

Has anyone built up the settlement on Sentinel Island? At least I think that's what it's called. It has by far the largest build area (the entire island +) and if you pump your charisma is can fit a ton of people.

It is also a goddamn magnet for synth attacks.

I glanced at a nude feral ghoul mod yesterday. :stare: it made me cringe.

Ok is Preston just never allowed to be your companions? I totally thought he was.

Incidentally if you leave your power armor unattended and a settler spots a loving mosquito a thousand yards away, there is a good chance some random scrub will swipe that fucker. At least now there is a guard patrolling The Castle in Minuteman T45 power armor and a minigun.

I really need a mod that can retrieve Power Armor. I've lost two in the wilderness and have had to ditch one in the Dunwich Burrows (Don't jump in the hole in power armor) and I want them back.

By the way, getting every companion together and handing them all copies of Grognak's Axe is best way to clear out ferals. Especially with the massive number that appear with the lots-o-mobs mod.

I'm on a quest to turn Sanctuary into a massive fortress city. I wanted as many settlers as possible so I used the console to set charisma to 30. In theory this should set settler limit to 40 (thank god I can craft clothing and hats) yet my number never seems to go higher than 23. I've got 35 goddamn settlers at Finch Farm who stand around and pick their nose but I can't seem to get Sanctuary higher.

Anyone know how to spawn settlers?

Check out the ArtObject category in the Fallout4.esm. Based on what I'm seeing there and in the esm for Homemaker, you may need to define an appropriate .nif for your models.



I'm working on adding in alternatives for the settlement vendor stands. Currently I have cash registers for the Bar, Weapons, Armor and Misc vendors and I'm working on Medic Kits for the clinic stuff.
I don't know what to call the mod though. Generally people use the word 'Immersive' for this kind of thing, but I'd like to avoid that cliche. Suggestions?

Somebody made a mod similar to that for shops and guards. You use mats and they stand behind them. Cash register is a cooler idea.

After rebuilding Sanctuary into a worthy fortress of doom, I had to do something with the old bat that just sits in her chair. So I made her my Wal-Mart Greeter.


I'm planning on giving her a small table with some drugs and maybe a lamp.

Also have you noticed that once you start adding stuff to a settlement, sometimes it gets hard to stop?


That tank is just there for, uh, decorative purposes.

What I really want is a mod that allows me to create a uniform and then just build that in bulk. Like letting me take Armor Crafter and whichever mod that lets me make clothes, making a full set of sturdy polymer combat armor with the arms black and the rest teal with a big gold star on the chest on top of a BOS Officer outfit, and giving it to my guards.

Or at least a place they can outfit themselves from.

Sounds doable. Many modders have made custom stand alone clothes. You could make a custom set of armor, with a custom texture. But for automation, that's not possible. I use a set of batch files to equip my settlers, saves me a lot of time from looting and upgrading and giving a gently caress. So now I just type "bat guard" after making a text file and depositing it in my FO directory. This gives my "guard" a full set of combat armor (random light/sturdy/heavy unfortunately) and a random assault rifle with road leathers and some ammo. If I open up the trade dialog first the game will mostly do what I want it to.

If you made a custom set of armor, you can find out what the refIDs are and include that in your batch file.

This is my character, Humungus, sitting in his favorite chair in his glass enclosed balcony


I just wanted to show that off.

This is what my guards look like right now at my home.

Is there a way to toggle combat for an NPC? I accidentally fragged a Diamond City security dude amd Deacon freaked out on me and ran back to HQ. Now when I go down there he automatically attacks me. This is really not good because he is in X01 power armor, fully upgraded, with Nearly Unbreakable legendary pieces. Oh and he had the auto combat shotgun I made him with explody bits.
