Settlements Expanded
by BlueSin
Now supporting NMM Installation! If you like this mod be sure to endorse it!
I forgot I was playing with the Darker Nights mod installed during recording, so I did my best to brighten up the video during editing!
READ ALL IMPORTANT NOTES IN YELLOW BEFORE INSTALLING THIS MOD! FAILURE TO DO SO WILL LIKELY RESULT IN A FAILED INSTALLATION, AND I WILL NOT OFFER SUPPORT TO PEOPLE WHO CANNOT READ!
Summary
The goal of Settlements Expanded is to unlock and add functionality to, many of the objects within the Fallout 4 world that are clearly missing from the construction menu when designing your settlements. If possible, I would also like to add more functionality and options to those objects that are already available within the construction menu. I would also love to work with others to add new, lore friendly objects to the settlements construction menu as well. This mod will also expand the maximum number of placeable objects within settlements. Lastly, I would also like to increase the height for building settlements (hooray skyscrapers!), add new settlement locations, and more.
Important Note 1: Until scripts are unlocked by the release of the Fallout 4 G.E.C.K. (Garden of Eden Creation Kit) or some other method is discovered to do so, this mod is currently limited to what it can do via batch files. As such many intended features are still planned as a result.
Important Note 2: Bethesda placed a maximum placeable object limit to settlements for a reason. The more you extend it and the more objects you add, the more things will slow down, and it may even increase your chances of crashing, so be sure to save often and use at your own peril!
