Clean Doghouses

A small selection of additional clean working doghouses you can build from the standard workshop menu:

  • Clean Wood Doghouse
  • - Pale Wood Doghouse
  • - Field Stone Doghouse
  • - Bamboo Doghouse

I decided to try and make a “clean” settlement - a “beacon of hope for the return of civilization within the chaos of the degenerate wastelands”. I added dog traps to include man’s best friend, as a boost to both happiness and defense. Next thing you know I have multiple dogs and a row of busted-up shabby doghouses. Where are the clean versions to compliment my fine settlement?

I found some replacement doghouse mods (right here), but they were either “lore-friendly” or color re-skins of the existing busted doghouse. So I said to myself (as a typical noob) “How hard could this be?” Probably not so difficult if you know what you are doing.

Much later... and here is the result. Really made for me, but I am happy to share.

Location: Clean doghouses are found under the “Decorations”>“Miscellaneous” tab of your workshop menu, right next to the standard doghouse.

Install / Uninstall: Download and install using the mod manager, or manually download the zip file and unzip the mod files into your game’s “Data” folder (preserving the file structure in the zip).

Use the mod manager to uninstall, or delete the mod files from your game’s “Data” folder. Loose files are located under their respective directories in sub-directories named “Phaedrus/CleanDoghouse”.

Requirements: - Fallout 4 only. - Wasteland Workshop recommended (if you want multiple dogs), but not required.

Compatibility / Known Issues: Clean Doghouse does not alter any existing in-game items and is not dependent on any other mods, so it should not have any unexpected side effects.  If you have something strange happen, do please let me know and I will attempt to assist - but no promises! The inner depths of FO4 are still beyond my limited understanding.

History: Version 1. 0

Credits: For better or for worse, this is all my own work. However, despite having some programming experience I am not a graphic artist, and I found building this to be more difficult than learning a number of programming languages - the lack of comprehensive documentation is just incredible. So, I must give credit to the many other modders out there who have spent countless hours poking through the core game material, testing and re-testing their mods, and who then took the tim

Clean Doghouses adds four clean doghouse variants to the standard workshop menu in Fallout 4: Clean Wood, Pale Wood, Field Stone, and Bamboo. It's a small cosmetic mod for settlement builders who want nicer doghouses. With 445 endorsements and 5,854 downloads, it has a modest but active following.

✨ Key Features

Adds four clean doghouse variants: Clean Wood, Pale Wood, Field Stone, and Bamboo.
Buildable from the standard workshop menu, so no extra menus or crafting stations needed.
Cosmetic only, no gameplay changes or new mechanics.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 445 endorsements and over 5,800 downloads.
  • Simple drop-in addition that fits seamlessly into the vanilla workshop menu.
  • Gives your settlers' dogs a proper home without the grimy vanilla look.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only four variants, so if you want more variety you'll need other mods.
  • Last updated in 2017, so it might not be compatible with newer DLC or mods that overhaul settlements.
  • Cosmetic only—if you're expecting functional changes like auto-feed or happiness boosts, this isn't it.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout 4 settlement builders who want cleaner, more varied doghouses without overhauling the whole workshop system. If you're a roleplayer who cares about your canine companions' living quarters, this is a nice touch. Skip if you're looking for gameplay mechanics or major settlement overhauls.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a workshop item mod, make sure you have the latest game patch and any DLC you plan to use, as older mods can conflict with newer updates.
  • If you use a mod manager like Nexus Mods' Vortex, install it through there to keep your load order clean and avoid manual file placement issues.
  • Check your workshop menu under 'Wood' or 'Structures'—the new doghouses should appear alongside the vanilla ones.
