📋 About This Mod

This mod will be coming to XBOX soon!  If you see any version of this on Bethesda.net before then, it was stolen, and I cannot guarantee its quality or safety for your game/saves.  Thank you for your patience and support!

CHECK OUT THE AWESOME INTERIORS PEOPLE ARE MAKING IN THE USER IMAGES SECTION!

If you'd like the basements to be require finding Picket Fences magazines instead of immediately available to the player, check out Greslin's patch here!

Ever wanted to take a break from the outside world, have a pause from the weather (and Settlers?) Ever wanted to store your weapons, Power Armor, and other items in a secure space where they will be left alone? Look no further!

Basement Living adds 10 completely standalone basements & bunkers (interior cells) fully navmeshed, each with their own standalone workshops and craftable door hatches, allowing you to place/enter into them from any settlement you choose. They work just like Home Plate, so you can tear-down and decorate them however you like!

This was done carefully, and methodically, and does not alter ANY existing settlements or interiors whatsoever, nor does it require any batch files, god mode, or other workarounds. They're mostly copies of vanilla cells, so you may recognize a few. I found a couple cool unused cells and copied those too, adding a few things and lighting touches.

Every interior features a Fuse Box with 100 power, and a control panel to disable/enable the default lighting, fog effects, and trash/debris!

LET'S SEE WHAT YOU CAN BUILD IN THESE SPACES! UPLOAD/SHARE IMAGES!

These are real interior cells you will 'zone' into, just like vanilla interiors, which makes them a safe place from enemies, weather, and settlers when you feel the need to get away. They act just like a player home. There is a lot of stuff by default to scrap in each location to get you started, and it's easy to just climb up the hatch and grab materials from your main Settlement Workshop if you need more.

This uses vanilla keywords, and as such is fully compatible with Settlement Keywords.

[]Under Special you will find 10 new basement hatches, one for each unique basement. They require 10 metal, 10 wood, 10 concrete, to give the effect of "crafting" the basement, even though you're just crafting a "teleport" door to get in.

[]Place a hatch anywhere on the ground of your Settlement. I like to place these behind the house, or in a settlement bedroom.

[*]Once placed, the basement workshop will automatically link or re-link to the sett
