Description:
This has been a long awaited update. Please keep in mind that a lot of mechanics have changed and settlements will break if you upgrade from 0.05 to 0.06
Best to start a new game if you plan on updating from 0.05 to 0.06 as sizing, models, etc. have been adjusted and your settlements will get riggity riggity wrecked son.

Anyway. Let's get on with the Changelog that I haven't been keeping track of.
=======================
Changes:
- Broke all 0.05 Settlement Buildings.
- RIP, Sorry guys.
- Replaced most Vanilla textures with new ones.
--- This is why it's a 200MB file now.
--- This is also why it's beautiful.
- Replaced Pillar Sizes
--- They now work properly across the board.
--- This also includes 1x4.
- Insulation
--- Replaced Insulation Models
--- Insulation has 1x1,1x2,1x3,1x4
--- Made them look like Insulation.
- Foundations
--- Replaced Foundation Size
--- Foundations now sink properly.
--- Changed textures for all foundations.
--- Wood, Metal, Concrete
--- They only snap in a certain direction and will always face the same direction.
--- NOTE: FOUNDATIONS ALL NEED TO BE PLACED FIRST FOR YOUR ENTIRE STRUCTURE.
- Ceiling Pillars
--- These now don't look like normal pillars.
--- They are there to only stack a 4x4 joist on top.
- Floor Joists
--- These snap to foundations for flooring.
--- They're required and super important for functionality.
--- Order is: Foundation -> 4x4 Joist -> Single Joist
--- I recommend placing the Joists where they snap first.
--- Then do that all around and then add the ones in between.
--- This will save you so much pain.
- Stairs
--- Old stair models removed.
--- New stair models come in 1x1, 1x2, 1x3, 1x4
--- All stair models sink into the ground properly.
--- Stairs Snap to 1x4 Joists.
- Power
--- Works just like the Vault-Tec DLC
--- Credit to XarathosHawke for his discovery and his help.
--- You can now power your entire structure from one side.
--- Power is then transferred through the entire structure.
--- You can Snap a Conduit on one side and have another conduit power the other side.
--- Seriously thank you.
- Added Window Frames in various sizes.
--- Wood, Metal, Concrete
- Security bars
--- Snap them to your Windows.
--- This is the first part of an exterior update.
- Single Door Frames
--- Wood, Metal, Concrete
--- No Navmesh Currently.
--- These are not meant to support doors.
- Double Wide Door Frames
--- Wood, Metal, Concrete
--- No Navmesh Currently.
--- They do support Vanilla doors.
- Ceilings
--- They snap to the bottom of floors now.
- Flooring
--- Increased model size.
--- They now look like tiles.
--- Flooring only snaps to the 4x4 Floor Joist.
--- A lot of textures have been replaced.
--- Should snap generally in the same direction.
--- A few times it'll mess up but that depends on the players position.
- Roofing
--- Removed, all of it.
--- It's unsupported by the new mechanics.
--- Large roofing prefabs will be made soon.
--- You can see more about it on the Trello.
- Fixed a lot of annoying snapping bullshit.
- Embarrassed Bethesda
- Window Panes
--- Removed, will be replaced when I make the newly sized models.
- Added a few Custom Sounds
--- You'll hear them, they're rather subtle.

--- November 4, 2022 I'm making a return to re-release another version of this mod. However, it will likely be under a new name and will fix a lot of the issues that came with the older version of this mod.
Mainly:
Budget Limitations for Placements
Snapping Issues
Lack of Windows
Lack of Roofing
The scope for the new mod is being logged in a Discord Channel and if you're interested in following along as I build this new mod and want to participate in the creation please feel free to join here: https://discord.gg/3Skyw9Yphf I've already established how everything will work and even have a basic SMM integration setup with toggleable texture types and some Papyrus scripts to go along with it.

What does it do? This modification will allow you to literally build a house from scratch. You start with your foundation, you add floor joists, pillars, ceilings, insulation, walls of various textures, etc. It's the most in-depth build system for Fallout 4 to date.
Why? Bethesda's settlement plugin is pretty bland. This idea behind the plugin is spruce it up and add a massive powerhouse of combination features to keep settlements interesting and fulfilling. Every time you build a house with this plugin you're giving it your very own touch and hard work. It will feel very personal, especially with each individual tile, pillar, and piece of wallpaper that you put down.
Where can I find the items? Under the Structures menu you will find a Simply Modular Housing menu injected on the very right-hand side.
Objects Included / Menus: (Use this as a checklist for proper installation.)
Ceilings
Door Frames
Foundations
Floors
Insulation
Lights
Pillars
Power
Walls
Window Frames
Foundation <- Foundation Frame <- Pillars <- Everything Else
Why isn't this on Console? Version 0.05: https://bethesda.net/en/mods/fallout4/mod-detail/4029407
Version 0.06: https://bethesda.net/en/mods/fallout4/mod-detail/4029408
Why can't I comment? I got sick of reading the comments about standardization and people telling me how I should make my modification. Such entitlement. So I'll just turn those off for now. You can always join Discord if you have a question or need help.
Thanks to: All of my Patreon users, Gavin, Manomann, Zaxen, Dameon, Dan, and various other testers.
