About this mod

General, you can't unite the Commonwealth if you can't own a territory around the Castle!

Requirements

100% of the DP will be sent to Ukraine Relief Effort

Really? We Generals of Minutemen, we have hundreds of people under our control, we want to build a new future for the Commonwealth... But! Around our Castles is empty. No life, only a sad landscape. Why should we huddle in the Castle when there is so much space around?
With this mod, you can build up these lands. Set up outposts at the entrance to the ruins of South Boston. Repair the "Ivans" and make it a point for volunteers, a workshop or a bar, as you wish. Build a whole City on the Lake with farms, shops and houses. Why should you keep supplies from a distance, when everything can be done at home?


What is done:
  • The territory for building is increased, see the screenshot.
  • The "Ivans" is cleaned from furniture and garbage. Also, the internal walls are removed.
  • Cars and fuel puddles in the parking lot are removed, as are the markers responsible for their respawn.
  • Removed fake light sources.
  • Some garbage is removed. The rest can be removed with "Scrap Everything" by shadowslasher410 and VIitS.
    In another case, you can use the console command "disable".
  • Navmeshes is patched up.
  • The markers of spawning mirelurks have been removed: between houses and at the pier with the ship.
  • Build area border is removed. Do not be scared. The screenshot guides you.

Can you help make this mod better?
Are you an experienced user of programs like Blender & Nifskope? Excellent!
I'm a complete cub for this software. My attempts to learn these programs have failed.
So there are two things I did't do:
  • The roof of the "Ivans". I left attempts to restore this building since I did not find a suitable, ready-to-use roof. In the files of the game there is a model that can be redone and then it will be suitable for restoring the building.
    If this is done, I will release a version with the restored "Ivans".
  • New build area border, specifically, 3D-model. I like the absence of this green veil. But it is needed to clearly understand the boundaries of accessible territory. For the mod, you need a 3D-model suitable for size, a simple square. There is no need to customize it under the bends of the landscape, it is enough to make it quite high.

About "Castle Expansion WIP":
This mod is reworked from scratch. I revised my view of this mod and many details were changed in comparison with my very first work. This is the reason why I made a separate page.
If you used the old version, then prepare yourself for some inconvenience. Some objects will appear anew. The walls and the roof of the "Ivans" will return to the destroyed state. The area of development will change. Prepare your Castle for these changes. And make backup save, just in case.
To upgrade to a new version, remove "Castle Expansion WIP", and install "The Castle - City on the Lake". It's all.
