A comprehensive overhaul of Sanctuary Hills, turning it from just some random futuristic neighborhood at the top of the commonwealth to a gated former-military community, with it's own visitor center, hotel, and even a lakeside dock.

Renamed the ESP Files. I normally wouldn't do this for fear of incompatibility, but the typo frustrated me. This may break updating on an existing game.
Fixed several misaligned and misplaced items.
Fixed workshop items sinking through the floors while being placed. This has not yet been solved for the roads.
Fixed multiple of the fake interior acoustic spaces. They now use the proper wood interior acoustic spaces, and are properly sized for the buildings.
Fixed some glaringly obvious z-fighting at the riverside.
Fixed water being present inside of the boat at the dock.
Fixed several markers being sunken into the ground.
Completely rebuilt the navmeshes from scratch, fixing several pathing errors.
Rebuilt all five available patches (sorry, NXGEN Nice Bush) from the ground up.
Adjusted the layout of the Player Home and the Russell Residence to look more natural.
Shifted the tile path in the side yard of the Able House to line up with the fence gate.
Swapped the Kawthorne Residence to a different color scheme to visually differentiate it from the Able House.
Shifted the Kawthorne Residence slightly to the right.
Shifted the Hotel a bit further away from the road.
Removed the redundant second backdoor at the Rosa house.
Swapped the colors around on some of the smaller houses.
Added a dog house to the backyard of the small red house to accompany the food bowl.
Patched up numerous roofs and floors for a better building experience.
Added snap points to (almost) every single doorway, allowing you to replace them.
Revised nearly all instances of writing in the mod, including terminal entries and the Visitor Center's plaques.
Adjusted the road leading over towards the dock to be more obvious.
Lengthened the staircase at the riverside to take up the entire length of the sidewalk.
Replaced all three of the sloped roads with better looking versions.
Added several street lamps, and adjusted the positions of some existing ones.
Added a few park benches and picnic tables to the central park.
Added several terrain blending decals along the roads.
Added multiple short cliff outcroppings to a few steeper segments of terrain.
Added various foliage and trees all across the community.
Extended the deeper section of the river to the other side of the bridge.
Added an entrance gate at the far end of the bridge, tying in with the new gated community angle.
Added a new small house, located between the hotel and the road leading to the dock.
Probably several more minor things I forgot to write down when I did them.
Version v1.2.4
Fixed misaligned name decals for specific mailboxes.
Bound name decals to mailboxes, so moving/scrapping will now carry the name along with it.
Version v1.2.3
Fixed a bug (of the Radroach variety) where a spawner was accidently placed under the staircase of the Visitor's Center.
Version v1.2.2
Fixed spacing issues with the Sanctuary Deed
Fixed the Beds and TVs present in the hotel to be scrapable
Version v1.2.1
Fixed broken Previs Data at Red Rocket, causing it to be visually broken.
Version v1.2
Added furniture to the Hotel.
Added furniture to the Hotel Swimming Pool.
Replaced non-interior houses with interior copies.
Placed Plywood Doors at some houses, can be scrapped.
Fixed an missing part of the lower road's sidewalk.
Fixed a few out-of-place props in the western segment of Sanctuary.
Version v1.1.1
Fixed a small error with the spacing on the Sanctuary Deed note.
Version v1.1
Added the Sanctuary Hills Visitor's Center, located at the front entrance to Sanctuary. Contains three readable plaques, a terminal, and a note.
Added the Drydock, located down the southern road, in response to a small note made by Degenerate Dak in his showcase of my mod.
Added blockades and a skeleton to the upper floor of the Workshop house.
Fixed a missing piece of the lower concrete area.
Version v1.0.1
Fixed an issue that caused Purple Grass to appear between Sanctuary and Red Rocket.
Sanctuary Hills has a very unique building style, specifically known in the real world as the Lustron House (yes, they are actually based on a real building style). It isn't the only place, either - this style of building is featured elsewhere in the wasteland, most notably in West Everett Estates and at Greentop Nursery. However, compared to the grand majority of the game, those houses are rare, which only makes Sanctuary stick out even more. Some people find that interesting - even I do, to an extent - but I wanted to see what it would look like with the far more common Housekit style of houses.
Sanctuary Hills has been completely converted into a gated community, sitting right at the north end of Concord. It features plenty of new lore to fit the community's existence into the overall Fallout narrative. The small community features a lower road that runs along the river, with a large riverside area to walk along. There's a visitor center with informational plaques in front of display cases, as well as a Hotel located on the opposite side of town. There's even a dock located at the lakeside, where citizens can bring their boats down to the water and go fishing. But the main attractions, of course, are the various new houses located all across the community. I hope you like what I've done with the place!
I'll admit, when I started on this project, it wasn't supposed to end up being as big as it was. It was the second mod I'd ever actually made. The precombines were wonky, the navmeshes were riddled with bugs, and it seemed like it was incompatible with any mod that came within a ten mile radius of Sanctuary. I've done my best to mitigate those issues with this latest update. Despite how old this mod, it's still one of my personal favorite mods I've ever made, right alongside Anom's Outpost Overhaul for Starbound. The reception this mod received was incredible, and I thank all of you so, so much for the positive feedback and attention. It means a lot to me.
It is highly recommended that you only install this mod on a new save to avoid issues.
