—————————————— Thanks: VlitS, an elder scroll level of knowledge, ad victorium. PJMail, for all your help and advice. Get PJ's Flyable Personal Vertibird! DeathByKitty and Oynlen, for making the Commonwealth A Forest and Another Pine Forest Mod, without breaking my precious precious precombines.

I've found a very small bug ... maybe. Of course maybe it's my own fault -- but it's so specific and nearly inconsequential that I'm betting it's a small defect. Of course, you tell me. To be sure, I had to wrestle with my load order a bit in order to get everything solid and non-flickery. But now ... everything, inside and out, is SOLID and non-flickery. Everything looks GREAT, except ...
The problem ...
1. I went inside. 2. I went down the basement stairs. 3. I opened the door to the "Motor Pool" area (the little exterior garage). 4. I turned around to re-enter the door, ie re-enter the interior of the Police Station, but ... 5. Looking at that wall ... the door is fine ... but the wall around it is missing. 6. It's not flickering. It's just missing. Seems very stable. But just missing. 7. I'm not seeing sky-space, or any of that weird stuff you get when previs goes sideways. 8. I just see a set of short stair-hall behind, which seems to be what Bethesda put there, even though it doesn't match the real interior. 9. The door still works fine. I can re-enter the interior. The problem is cosmetic.
Note that this is true with or without Aloots. Aloots doesn't seem to matter.
Yes, could be my fault, but I mention it because the problem is present when absolutely everything else is so solid. So, FYI FWIW.
CORRECTION: "which seems to be what Bethesda put there" -- I was wrong. This mod puts it there.
- In further testing it turns out that TWO doors open into the motor pool ... - but only one goes back. - The door from the interior opens into the exterior motor pool, and the motor pool door returns to that interior. - The door from your exterior workshop area opens into the motor pool, but the motor pool door does not return to that place. - Every object in this area (including doors) inside and out is defined either by Fallout.esm or this mod. - This mod and its previs are last in my load order excepting Exoclyps Diamond City previs.
Again, I do not doubt this is my load order, but I have a question the answer to which might help me.
- In the motor pool there are two door-frames. - On the left is a door defined by Fallout.esm. It enters the interior. - On the right is a non-interactive plywood panel (object is "Door" -- added by this mod).
My question is ...
- Should the door to the interior be on the right? - Because it looks like this mod's intent is that the door on the left enters this mod's exterior. - And it seems like a fine solution if the doorway on the right is intended to enter the interior -- it all matches the layout. - In other words: is that door in the motor pool defined by Fallout.esm supposed to move from the left to right door-frame?
Sorry to be long-winded. Just trying to ask my question clearly. Thx.
Yes, the door should be on the right in the motor pool. You’re having loadorder conflict.
The easiest way is to look up that cell in xEdit and see what mods touch that cell. Then you have a small fixed list of mods that could be causing the conflict.
Edit: For anyone who has problems like me in the future with flickering textures, I just loaded this settlement in its last mods, I'm sorry I wrote about it working badly in this aspect, after doing some research I saw that there is always a problem if it is loaded too high on other mods.
The only thing I would like to add is to be able to scrap more things, there is junk that cannot be scrapped, and also to be able to scrap the brotherhood of steel barricades and the trash walls, because I feel that it limits me a bit to be able to build what I want on the outside of the police station.
Inside the station it would be good to be able to scrap more things, there is a lot of debris that is floating around because it is not scrappable and it also limits a bit the possibility of making a cleaner internal construction, I wish you could lend a hand with these things.😬
Thanks for sharing the command, it works fine to use, although it is indeed annoying to have to type it every time to be able to see correctly without flickering textures, does anyone know of a mod that makes the command activate every time?🤔
If the CELL names of this settlement are overwritten, the settlement will not work correctly. You have a mod in your loadorder with different CELL data lower than this mod.
I'm looking forward to using your mod, along with Aloot's Better Cambridge Police Station since you've recommended it. I'm of course using the latest 074 iteration of PRP.
Do I need the corresponding patch of this mod (3rd file), and if yes, may I ask what load order you would suggest ?
Thank you very much for your advice, and sharing with us your high quality mods.
No, don’t use that patch. It doesn’t include the changes from THIS mod. It only patches Aloot’s. This comes with all the patches you’ll need for using Aloot’s.
Alright. Also, if I eventually become enemies with the Brotherhood, will I lose the settlement? And can the settlement be randomly attacked like vanilla ones?
Awesome. Would be a bit annoying to return to the settlement regularly only to find the settlers engaged in a firefight with BoS remnants, even though it would also make for a decent farming spot for Brotherhood apparel and T-60 pieces.
This is probably going to be an odd request, but is there any chance you could make it so all the BoS barricades and the two BoS flags that fly outside of the police station are scrapeable? I know the police station is BoS territory, but I end up becoming enemies with them in my playthroughs, so being able to scrap everything BoS-related after clearing the location and turning it into a settlement would be nice. The cooking station located just outside of the garage isn't linked to the workshop either and the desk in the forensics lab can't be scrapped.
Also, while testing the mod I noticed that the settlement starts off with 10 or 20 water being produced and the defense in the 200s, but I can't find the sources for either. I'm guessing those features are intentional, but can they be disabled, please? Maybe with an optional file?

Turn the Cambridge Police Station into a Settlement! It's your home away from the Prydwen.
also the room through the window has the 2 PA stations and alot of weapons and ammo crates what is in that room in the above picture is Gone
Open xEdit and examine that cell. Once you identify what other mods are touching that cell, then we can look into a patch.
The problem ...
1. I went inside.
2. I went down the basement stairs.
3. I opened the door to the "Motor Pool" area (the little exterior garage).

The Walls (specifically around the Stairs) flicker in and out of existance when I stare at them, hope that can be easily fixable.
I don't believe it's script lag

1 - ALOOT_Better_CPS.esp (supposed to be after PRP.esp according to that mod's page)
2 - CambridgePoliceStationSettlement.esp
3 - CambridgePoliceStationSettlement[PATCH-Aloot].esp
I suppose I'm mainly unsure if 2 needs to load before 1, or if it matters.
