Have you ever wondered what a person with an overactive imagination and too much time on their hands could build in Fallout 4? Have you ever wanted to see a truly dense city in Fallout 4, where every building is accessible and furnished? Have you ever wondered what the largest settlement ever built is?
 
Well I am here to present to you a settlement I worked on for about a year - New Moscow. The motivation for this build came to me after I downloaded a mod that flattened Spectacle Island; I wanted to see if I could fill up every single build-able tile (including the water). I had finally achieved my vision and am proud to release it to you.
 
While the world of Fallout is truly scary – Super Mutants eating people, Feral Ghouls attacking traders and synths infiltrating society... I wanted to take it to the next level. So the theme of the city is truly horrifying and post-apocalyptic – severe socioeconomic inequality.

Boring Lore Here: (if you’re not curious about the backstory of the city just scroll down or check out the pictures/YouTube video.) Since the Soviet Union is lore friendly in the Fallout universe, I decided to recreate Moscow off the coast of the Commonwealth. The wealthy elite had decided to replicate Joseph Stalin as a synth using his DNA in order to rule the city, while they pull the strings from behind the scenes. They set up
businesses and employed the middle class as managers and operators, while the poor are subjugated to manual labor. While synth production exists to the point where no human needs to subjugate themselves to such labor, they find it necessary in order to keep the commoners in line. Those refusing to pay taxes
and work are sold into slavery, either for organ harvest or as fighters in the fighting ring. You play as a poor dock worker, living in Slum City, who had decided to rise against the bourgeois and seize the means of production...

The Settlement Blueprint features a metropolis with 3 distinct cities: New Moscow, Commongrad and Poverty City. It contains 32500 items and 305 beds. All of the food/water/defense comes from a modded cheat item called “All-In-One Settlement Solution”. Due to the limitations of the game engine, there are only 128 arrays available for settlements. So if you have 21 settlers assigned to 126 food and 2 water purifiers, you’ve hit the array limit already. The cheat item allows you to assign settlers to jobs/markers to make the city feel truly alive, rather than having them all be farmers.

This blueprint requires all of the DLCs, as well as many mods and a powerful computer. I have a 6900k 8Core @ 4.2GHz with a GTX 1080 Founders Edition and I run the city on 1080p/Low and even then it lags in certain places. You have been warned.

If you do not like/want the Soviet items feel free to not install the mods and replace the paintings/flags with ones of your own choosing. Please do not bring politics into this, it’s just a video game not a
political platform.

Mod Requirements -

Absolutely Necessary:
Flattened Spectacle Island Mod – VERSION 3.0 ONLY. I had begun making this before 4.0 was released, using 4.0 will cause a part of the city to float. If you want to use 4.0 you will have to put foundation to bridge the gap between the city and the ground.

Installation:
1)     Load your save game, the preferred save game would be: clean, obviously has the spectacle island unlocked as a settlement with nothing built on it. Fast travel to Spectacle Island and do not move. Disable autosave in the game settings.
2)     Nuke the settlement, for best results do not use“scrapall” or even scrap anything by hand until AFTER you imported the city. If you scrap before, problems could arise.
3)     Look down at the ground for best FPS, begin importing the settlement with the Stable preset. 32k items is a lot of items to import, so I believe stable is the best way to go.
4)     Go to work, bed, school, a party, a bar, etc...This will take a while.
5)     Once the import is done, open the console and type in “coc SanctuaryExt”
6)     Make a hard save (not a quicksave). The game will “freeze” but it won’t crash, just give it some time.
7)     Quit the game, and load up the save game you just made.
8)     Sleep in a bed for 72 hours, make another hard save then quit the game and load that new save.
9)     Fast travel to Spectacle Island and enjoy!
