📋 About This Mod
This is the fourth mod in the faction housing overhaul series,
it adds a completely new private interior for the Minutemen General.

I strategically forgot to record entering the room, but it's on the right side of the "old General's quarters"
which Ronnie Shaw takes you through to access the tunnels.
It's a very basic room, albeit pretty. It only has a kitchen area, bed and some storage and so on.
I figured people want to fix0rupp3r their castles their own way and add their own workbenches,
so this one only has cooking (which is linked to the Castle cloud storage).
:: How to get in ::
The old General in the tunnels has the key (OBVIOUSLY), get the key when you loot his armour.
:: General & Features ::
• No one except your active followers should enter the quarters. You get a real, private area in the Castle and no one will sleep in your bed.
• You won't be able to send anyone here, only to Castle like normal
• Mirror in the bathroom can be used to change your appearance
(not compatible with Locksmith something something)
• Functional terminal to play holotapes
• Glorious unique storage stuff and clutter
:: Known issues ::
• When exiting the looks mirror you might get "stuck", just equip a gun and draw it to return to normal third/first person mode.
• If you've already looted the General's corpse in your save game, just unlock the door by using the developer console
(select door when in console, write unlock, done)
:: The faction housing overhauls ::
• Vault 81 player room
• The Castle

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust – 8,229 endorsements and 221k downloads show this mod is widely used and loved.
- Non-invasive design – adds a new cell without touching the Castle, so it won't conflict with other Castle mods.
- Author is Elianora, a well-known modder in the Fallout 4 community, so quality is expected.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016 – may not be fully compatible with the latest game patches or DLC, though many users still report it works.
- Only adds a room – if you're looking for a full Castle overhaul with new features, this is minimal.
For Minutemen players who want a personal quarters inside the Castle without altering its iconic layout. Also for mod collectors who trust Elianora's work and want a clean, simple addition. Skip if you expect a major overhaul or if you're not playing as the Minutemen.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a new interior cell, fast travel directly to the Castle and look for a new door or marker – it's not immediately obvious.
- If you use other Castle mods, this one is designed to be compatible, but always check load order to avoid conflicts.
- Make sure you have the latest Fallout 4 patch installed, as the mod is old and may need a compatibility patch for newer versions.
