Hey everyone! This is my mod I've been working on for the last two years in my spare time. It's the exact same file I've been using on Bethesda.net, but so many people have requested this be put on NexusMods, I figured I'd oblige and hopefully get my mod some love and make a new friend or two here as well.
As the name suggests, I've gone through and cleaned up all 30 of the base settlements in the game...I absolutely loved all of the home building and settlement building you could do, but was very disappointed with how little you could do with the vanilla Bethesda work. I mean...seriously, you couldn't even do something as simple as sweeping up debris piles or leaves and throw them out?! Argh!! I did all the hard work for them and removed all of the trash, leaves, and ruined buildings in these settlements. The ones that were left behind, I completely repaired them with complete pieces. All of the non-essential buildings and items left behind have had the coding added to let you scrap them and remove them once you take control of the settlement, too. On top of all the cleaning, I smoothed out all of the land to make building easier. To make up for all of the removed scrappable items, I made sure to add resource containers in each workshop location so you'll have plenty of building materials to get you started.
To go along with the clean theme of things, I also changed the settler coding of the people who come via the recruitment beacons to be clean - like, removed all the dirt, grime, and junk that's plastered on all of their faces. I find it very hard to believe that, once they have a home and place to live established, they'd never take a bath and clean themselves up.
I tried very hard to make sure all of the game triggers and quest-essential items were left in place so the game can proceed as intended with no side effects. I also made sure to replace all of the NavMesh in and around the settlements to make sure your companions and all of the NPC characters can move around freely and without issues.

A FEW NOTES - JUST IN CASE!!
This is the first time I've ever done any sort of modding before, so I'm a complete rookie at all of this stuff. Like, literally...I've never done anything like this ever. I had to learn the Creation Kit program from scratch by myself, including the Papyrus language that triggers and such were programmed in. I'm sure there are things I've missed and I'm nowhere near perfect, but I think I've done a pretty good job. I've been playing on PC and the XBOX One with my mod and haven't found any issues.
I haven't ever used the NexusModManager to know how things work, either...I just know that on Bethesda's mod manager thingamajig, the mod had to be at the very bottom of the load order for everything to work correctly.
When making this mod, I didn't use any outside assets whatsoever. I just used the simple vanilla Fallout 4 game files and textures, no DLC was included, cuz I don't own them on PC. I did this because I wanted everyone to be able to use my mods on the PlayStation 4 and XBOX One...plus I wanted it to be compatible with as many other mods as humanly possible. Sony put so many restrictions on mods, it was crazy...Microsoft was much better and easier to use, but there are still so many limitations that consoles have compared to ultra-powerful gaming PC rigs.

Please feel free to send me an e-mail or message to say hi, give me some programming advice or skills, or suggestions for me to improve upon. This work was a complete labor of love, and I did it without expecting any money or profits in return. Anyone is welcome to download and use my mod, but if you are to modify it and upload it yourself, please at least give me credit for my work...this took nearly 2 years to finish!!
