About this mod
A selection of small and cozy player home style settlements for my companion and I. Includes settlement site mods, switched lighting, light boxes. The included Transfer Settlements blueprint only requires 3 mods to work, with other mods being optional. You can easily replicate the kitchen and decor with your preferred settlement building mods.

Between mod collections and recent one-sided socio-political pressures, I find Nexus Mods is becoming a bit too much like George Orwell's 1984 for my liking. And rather than discuss problems and solutions, their moderators and owners choose to preemptively block certain discussions. You are only welcome here if you agree with them. And if you disagree they suggest you delete your account.
In my opinion, that is a weak, childish, anti-inclusive, anti-diversity, phobic and disrespectful response. And honestly, it fits the pattern of abusing privilege and power to silence dissent and exclude certain communities.
In spite of those facts, I'm rejecting their suggestion and choosing a better option.
Instead of deleting my account, and with it all my mods, I will leave what I have created for my friends, and the community, to enjoy. But I will not be back to support, update or add any content.
I am sure this decision will come as a surprise to some, and possibly raise some questions that I would encourage you to ask me if you seek to understand. But even if you don't, you may rest assured that I have valid, rational and well thought out reasons for coming to this decision.
Best wishes to all of you, and happy gaming.

A selection of small and cozy player home style settlements for my companion and I. My chosen locations will be small, uninhabited, and spread out enough to make travel time a factor. This synergizes well with settlement-light playthroughs, camping mods, difficulty increases and deadlier environments.
And since neither I nor my companion want to live in a dump, I will be modding and restoring a few locations to suit my needs. This may include features such as switched lighting and lightboxes to suit a floorplan I will use in the template. If you want to use a modded location but with a different settlement floorplan, you will need to edit and optimize it to your liking.
Currently I plan to include:
- Sanctuary Player Home - NW corner, Good starting home, and tied to the Sole Survivor's back story.
- Red Rocket Truck Stop - Alternative to Sanctuary in case you don't want to use it but still need a spot in the NW corner.
As with my Red Rocket Clean mod, I do use 1 texture and 1 mesh with permission...
Thanks to calarand77 for allowing me to include his wood wall texture from Red Rocket in Wood.
Thanks to VIitS for allowing me to create combined meshes based on one of his no-pump meshes from Repaired Red Rocket.
- Coastal Cottage - NE corner of map + Good staging spot for Far Harbor.
- Hangman's Alley - Good central location near merchants; V81, DC, Eleanor + Ellie's Shop.
- Murkwater Construction Site - South end of map, Good staging area for the Glowing Sea.
* I am going to include Oberland Station as a courtesy because I did the work before changing my plans for the playthrough and it didn't make sense to throw it out. I figured someone might enjoy it so, consider it a bonus. Plus HZS has a great new switching tower mesh. :)
Each release in this series includes...
(A): A settlement build site mod that will:
- Restore usable structures
- Clean up the trash
- Add switched lighting with lightboxes + portal glow where needed
- Precombines and visibility optimized for performance
* Site Mods go in your Fallout 4\Data\ folder
(B): A settlement template that will:
- Require minimal mods
- Be compact and efficient
- 'Feel' like a player home
- Have a floorplan that will work with the site mod's custom lighting
- Maintain good performance
* Templates go in your ...\Fallout 4\Data\F4SE\Plugins\TransferSettlements\blueprints\## folder

Load order note:
My Red Rocket mod tweaks a material used for the wood wall textures in HZS Easy Homebuilder. I did this so that the interior walls would match the Red Rocket walls. Load my Red Rocket mod AFTER HZS Easy Homebuilder to get the same effect. It WILL also affect all other HZS wood interior walls though. So just be aware of how the tweak works.
