About this mod

Welcome to my Home Plate! This blueprint for the Transfer Settlements mod features a heavily decorated space that feels very lived in - the perfect place for the Sole Survivor and Co to crash while passing through Diamond City.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
First off, thank you for checking out my blueprint! This is my first upload to Nexus Mods (other than pictures). I've started yet another new playthrough of Fallout 4, and been thoroughly enjoying having the Transfer Settlements mod this time around! I actually started out using another creator's blueprint for Home Plate - Renovated Home Plate - Transfer Settlement Blueprint by Javawalk. And while I love the work they did, I ended up redoing almost the entire space to my own personal tastes. All that remains of the original blueprint are some of the walls, some of the flooring, the laundry area, the core modular kitchen setup, and the stairs.

I created this space for personal use, which is why there are so many mods used. But since I really liked how it turned out I decided to upload and share it in case anyone else likes the way it looks and wanted to use it as well. Since Home Plate is not my main home in the game, I designed it more as a place for your character to relax and hangout while passing through the city, rather than a place to store and display all your goodies. (It can definitely be redesigned that way however!)

If you decide to download this blueprint, please feel free to use and edit it however you wish. I know there's a lot of clutter and wall decorations (boo empty space!), but that might not be for everyone. I'm also certainly not the best at lighting the space either... "if it's bright, it's fine" is pretty much where I stand on lighting. So please, tinker away and make it your own!


Features:
  • Usable stove for cooking (with accompanying raw meat plate to catch those slabs you cut!). Working shower, sink and toilet.
  • Usable bench press to work out while a mini Liberty Prime spots you! (disclaimer: Prime will not actually spot you, but it will stare menacingly at you, providing adequate motivation)
  • Large workshop area with usable armor, weapon, and chem stations on one table! Also includes armorsmith and weaponsmith benches for users of AWKCR.
  • Working clock by the blue exit door showing the real in game time! (So you aren't surprised that the market is closed when leaving home)
  • A looksmenu mirror in the bathroom to change your appearance! (Needs required mod to use. Placed and tested to prevent glitching and provide adequate light.)
  • A usable gaming desk for all of your holotape fun time!
  • Comfy bed that should support both you, and a friend ;)
  • A personal area for Dogmeat!
  • Nani shimasu ka? Everyone's favorite noodle vendor, ready to serve beside your dining room table!
  • A cryolator themed beverage storage (that cools your beer and cola!)

*Update!*
I created a retexture of the curved monitor you see in the living room area. It changes the color of the monitor's body to black, and changes the Windows desktop screen image to the Fallout "Please Stand By" film loading screen.


The retexture is available as a miscellaneous file. The zip file includes a readme.txt file, and 3 different options for installation -
-If you only want to change the screen's display from the Windows desktop image to the Fallout "Please Stand By" film loading screen, copy the contents of the "Screen Only" folder.
-If you only want to recolor the monitor body from white to black, copy the contents of the "Monitor Body Only" folder.
-If you want both a black colored monitor with the Fallout "Please Stand By" film loading screen displayed, copy the contents of the "Screen and Monitor Body" folder.
These are loose files and will not physically overwrite any files, but will load over the original installed files. Meaning you do not need to delete, overwrite, or uninstall anything for them to work. Simply paste/move the data folder you chose into your Fallout 4 directory (...\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Fallout 4), and merge the folders.

Installation:
Manual install of included file - Home Plate by RadStratRadar.json
Find your blueprints folder, which should be located in this file path:
...\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data\F4SE\Plugins\TransferSettlements\blueprints
If you've already installed and used the Transfer Settlements mod, you should have at least one numbered folder in here. If so, create a new folder, name it the next number after what you have, and paste the .json file in there. If you don't have any folders in 'blueprints', create a new folder, name it "1" (no quotes), and paste the .json file in that folder.

In game, scrap all clutter, including the cinderblocks and lights. I'd also scrap the industrial fan on the wall by the workshop, the power conduits and wires (but not the fuse box!), and the metal beams (the 4 bridge shaped ones near the blue door exit). The blueprint comes with a new stair set, but I'd recommend leaving the original stairs. You can scrap either post import; the new stairs might mess with companion navmeshing. I also moved both the workshop and fuse box, but they won't automatically move with the import. You can move them yourself with the Place Everywhere mod.

When ready, open Transfer Settlements either through the holotape or in the Mod Configuration Menu, and the blueprint should be listed under imports. I've tested the import on a previous save with a fresh Home Plate. Everything imported correctly, but you will have to move the workshop and fuse box yourself, as well as reconnect some of the wiring by/to the fuse box.

**NOTE: I do NOT recommend nuking Home Plate prior to import! It's not necessary, and when I tested it, all it did was remove the fuse box which you need for power. It will not remove the debris. To effectively scrap all debris, use the Scrap Everything mod (and keep it's .esp at the very bottom of your plug-in load order for the most stability).
