So I decided to do something new this time. I split the mod up between the main town interiors and the Museum. They are now separate mod files available for download. I don't know how well it'll go but hopefully nothing of importance was lost when I was going on a rampage in xedit. That being said if anything weird or notable occurs then please let me know. This newest version sees slight changes to civic access sewers and basement entrance to Daytona's store. Seeing as I want my mod to be compatible with most other mods out there. I decided to remove my edits to the vanilla interior (Civic Access) in an effort to remedy the conflict issues. To access the once accessible areas I've placed doors that'll move you to the right spots so no worries about breaking immersion. I also had to move the door to Daytona's into the extended sewer section, I liked the lighting right there so that's an added bonus. And if you're wondering about how the Museum fared then don't worry, nothing has changed aside from the fact that the sewer entrance door now spawns in the void if you don't have the main mod installed. But yes you read that right, Both of the mods now work independently of each other. So if you wish to only run the added town interiors, or vice versa, then you now can! But no seriously I hope this'll help you guys out in load order. Anything else comes up then please let me know. Also currently the old main files are in optional for the time being so I can see how this experiment pans out.
I have been running Concord Revised V1B for nearly a year and a couple thousand hours of FO4 play now. (Never messed w/ the museum) Of all the concord mods I tried (and I tried all of them) its the most generally compatible, stable and yet useful mod out there for the town. I tried others, but they either were unstable or didnt add much or conflicted with a lot of other stuff out there. Your mod also works really well with Commonwealth Captives, so in every interior cell that you put into the town, you stumble on a small group of raiders holding some girls captive, that you can then rescure . The girls, then usually get sent to join my settlements especially ones short of females.
So it is well integrated with my other mods and I cant imagine Concord without it now.
When I try to trade with Welsh, both his and my inventories display as blank and he has zero caps. Also, the bookcase hiding the small room with the terminal in the new section of Concord Civil Access is already open and the items that are meant to be on it are floating in midair in the doorway. Also, where is the key to the Wright's Inn Basement? It doesn't unlock with the key on the second floor.
if you are staring into the void when you enter the access, or the museum is borked, it's most likely because of ELFX https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/13596/
You need this patch https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/59895/ Make sure the patch is lower than ELFX or Concord Revised. Fixed mine instantly.
I have run this mod with Persistentify Those Plugins (it works as well for FO4) and it's now got the esm flag and loads to the top of my mod list. With the exception of having to remove the prp edits for the museum it seems to function perfectly fine and looks great. Thanks for your work.
I also run this with Tales of the Commonwealth, Plenty 'o' Exploration and Stumble Upon Interiors and it all seems to play nicely together. Tales of the Commonwealth has a single Previs conflict that is fixed by altering the 00017df7 cell as illustrated below.
@Headcase Your problem with the disappearing walls can be found at 00017df7. Open it with xedit. Forward that record into a patch and then you will need to remove the previs. Right click in your patch on the last edit in the CELL \ XPRI - PreVis Reference Index, and click remove. Scroll down until you see: CELL \ XCRI - Combined Reference Index. Then right click and remove. The civic address cell 0003776D, needs to be handled a little differently. Copy as over-ride into your patch and then double click at the top of the record where it says compressed. A flag box will open and checkmark the no previs option.
X out of Xedit, make sure the check box is checked so it save the edits to your patch and your done. No more invisible walls.
Well done. After playing through it I was pretty impressed. Everything went well without a hitch. One Ctd in the subway that was probably a result of dying too many times, LOL, (Bethesda Games don't like that in general,) or possibly an engine level conflict with a fairly heavy mod list. Other then that, there didn't seem to be any issues and what issue there was definitely couldn't be pinned on your mod alone. I used the optional Concord Revised v1.7.4.3.1 - Packed File Version and after following your advice on the previs for the museum it worked quite well without any wall glitching. All in all, I would recommend it for any mod list as it adds so much extra to an otherwise underwhelming area.
I did run it through the "Persistentify Those Plugins" mod which marks thing persistant and makes the plugin an esm. I had it loaded in my heavily modified MOFAM build, about middle of the esms and resolved conflicts, (which were pretty minimal) and really had no issues. Mofam runs around 700 active esps and includes PRP. Thank you for a great mod.
For those people having issues with disappearing walls The problem with the disappearing walls can be found at 00017df7 and 0003776D. Open the mod with xedit. Forward the 00017df7 record into a new patch. You will be asked to name it and it will appear at the bottom of your load order. Find the worldspace tab and Open it. You will need to remove the previs. Right click in your patch on the last edit in the " CELL \ XPRI - PreVis Reference Index", and click remove. (All the way to the right) Scroll down until you see: "CELL \ XCRI - Combined Reference Index". Then right click and remove.

This is the most amazing thing that happened to me, in terms of modding Fallout 4, since I discovered AWARHERO's Great Green Jewel mod. I love mods that overhaul locations to that degree with that level of quality. I just spent couple of hours testing your mod to check if there are any problems and I couldn't find any. The only one worth mentioning is character disappearing for a short bit in some places when visiting Meeting Hall, but that is easily fixed by going to 1st person view. Another minor one is shop signs above Colonial Hotel, Daytona's shop and other shops are displayed as colourful mosaic. Apart from that I couldn't find any issues. Only a few minor changes on the outside of Concord. Only a few additional interiors, but some of them overwhelmingly massive. I got lost while exploring additioanal areas to Civic Access. And the Museum feels so increadible to visit now. Settlement? You've got to be kidding me! I didn't visit the rail station yet. I bet it will be another couple of hours of exploration. All these changes make that previously unnoticeable location worth visiting again and again. You've mentioned that some of this is a cut content from the original game. You are an absolute legend for bringing this back. It is taylored to perfection.
I am smashing the hell out of that ENDORSE button until it's engraved on my monitor and is embossed on your side of a screen.
Dear jafr, I wish you a digital greatness for bringing this mod to us!
