Ever built up within Sanctuary and noticed those damn puddles in your house? Remember that dirt pile in the middle of the General's quarters at the Castle?! A thing of the past with Decal Stain Remover!
♦ Description ♦
○ Decal Stain Remover is a mod intended to help clean up the dirty decals found within your settlements. These dirty decals cannot be removed conventionally within workshop mode, a mod such as Spring Cleaning nor console commands can clean them up! Thus, this mod comes in to play. DSR will remove these decals with simplicity and compatibility. All it takes for you is the tick of an .esp to remove these ugly decals or bring them back (for some reason?!)
○ ALL settlements are cleaned up, including the DLC settlements (there is a non-DLC version as well.) The clean-up location is only within the vanilla settlement borders, so if you have a settlement border expansion this mod will not have cleaned up those areas.
○ This mod does not remove the decals outside of settlements. A total decal nullified version was planned, but since Bethesda update the CK I can't figure out how to do it anymore. See under "What Are Directional Decals?" for more on that.
○ DSR may even help give you more performance in settlements!

Installation
○ Install the DLC or non-DLC version and activate the .esp - doesn't get any easier!
What Are Directional Decals?
○ Directional decals were introduced back in Skyrim/CK 1. 0 as blood stains and they work exactly the same as they do in Fallout 4/CK 2. 0. However in Skyrim, these direction decals were pretty much limited to only the blood stains. In Fallout 4 they're EVERYWHERE you look, even if you may not know it there's at least five or more in each cell - on average there's over twenty per cell! These directional decals help make the Commonwealth look grimy and old, unfortunately they also added these into the settlement locations which get in the way and make your settlement and furniture look disgusting.
